Recently a sweet classmate of Kueffer's got glasses. So on our last couple of trips to Costco, Kueffer has ran over to the optical department and started trying on the glasses. Each time he will put on a pair of glasses and say 'Look, I'm Dr. Espe!'.
Kueffer loves his pediatrician and I can't wait to show Dr. Espe his 'mini me' when we visit for K's 4 year check up.

Last Day of Preschool 2012
Kueffer's last day of 3 year old preschool was a couple of weeks ago.
It was such a fun year and we made so many new friends!
One of Kueffer's teachers, Miss Patty retired this year after 25 years of teaching at Village! We will all miss her so much. On the last day, all of the kiddos greeted her at the door with a flower and she ended up with a beautiful bouquet that the children created. The class also gave her a very special print that read 'A Teacher effects eternity- she can never tell where her influence stops' The Village Preschool 3 year old class 2012' She was touched.

Kueffer and his other EPD teacher, Miss Mary...She and Julie are sisters and teach together!
Kueffer, Mommy and Daddy love Village Preschool!
We are so blessed to have found our 'home' here.

Art Show
Friday night was Kueffer's preschool art show. Grandma Karen, Mommy, Daddy and Kueffer all attended to see the wonderful art from some of the MOST talented preschoolers in all of Prairie Village...okay, probably all of Kansas City!
We saw Kueffer's work of art- the butterfly and then walked around to observe and mingle with everyone.
Then, Daddy and Kueffer spotted it. The CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN! Wasn't too hard to spot we then noticed all of the kiddos with chocolate hands, faces, clothing. Soon K was one of those kiddos and loved it!
Fun night at our fun school!

Pickin' and a grinnin'
Sorry for the lame Hee Haw reference, but Mommy's from California, MO and that was prime tv watching at my grandparent's house! ;)
This past Saturday, Daddy planned a very fun family outing for us! yes, you read correctly...DADDY planned the outing. Kueffer, Daddy and Mommy ventured to a strawberry patch outside of Lawrence and met some friends to pick some yummy strawberries! It was hot, but we loved picking and sampling...definitely sampled quite a few...but picked 9 1/2 lbs in a very short amount of time!
It was so much fun and we've been enjoying strawberries and sharing them with friends all weekend!

I love this kid!
I know that we say it A LOT, but seriously...could he be any cuter?
Here's what we have been up to lately...
Still going to school on Tuesday and Thursdays and loving it! Can't believe only a couple of weeks left. (gulp!)
Swimming Lessons on Tuesday and Thursday nights- a refresher course to get ready for the summer. Luckily, this 'fish' has not forgotten how to swim. :)
Lots and Lots of playdates!
Still planning his birthday parties- yes, parties. He now has every theme planned until his 15th birthday. Yes, he's his momma's boy and loves a party theme apparently! ;)
Gearing up for summer- K will be in KDO on Wednesdays, Swimming lessons on Tuesday and Friday mornings, Tennis on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, a few camps, etc and Soccer on Saturdays. Seriously, how did it get so booked?
AND still telling lots and lots of HILARIOUS jokes! groan- but really, they are cute!
Gotta love this kid!

Hopping with the Martians
Hopping with the Martians a video by zeusdawdy on Flickr.
Kueffer and Daddy were outside playing this weekend. K has been playing 'astronaut' lately and will lay back in a chair with his feet in the air and countdown. Daddy grabbed the phone to capture this 'space adventure'. 5-4-3-2-1...

Say What?
Kueffer's always been a very smart and creative kiddo, if we do say so! :) But lately, he has been coming up with some doozie phrases. Seriously, kids DO say the darndest things!
Here are just a few examples of a few from this week.
Wearing his 'heartbreaker' boxer briefs and new cowboy hat (photo above) he did an entire monologue as 'Jasper the Cowboy' ...what?
Then, as Mommy suggested going out for ice cream one afternoon, his response, 'You said it, Girl!' seriously?!
Kueffer came up to Mommy and said 'Lucy's really good at the quiet game.' Lucy is the cat. Later, Mommy heard him say 'You lose!' ...apparently she was purring too loudly.
And, after the big egg hunt last week, there was still one balloon floating around. Mommy heard him playing upstairs and talking...talking to 'Smacky'. It was the balloon. He and 'Smacky' were playing.
Obviously, he has a HUGE imagination and after playdates with the cat and a balloon, he needs some playdates with real kiddos! ;)

Dr. visit
Here is Kueffer at the end of our visit to Dr. Espe...looks like our little has seasonal allergies so Zyrtec will be in our spring ritual going forward.
At the end of the appointment, Kueffer said 'I love you too much, Dr. Espe!' and Dr. Espe said 'I love you too, Kueffer.'...made this momma's heart so full!

Allergy Season
This is what allergies look like at the Dawdy house.
The weather has been beautiful so we've been spending LOTS of time outside. This year, Kueffer got a new visitor...allergies! Poor little guy. At the end of the day, he would pull on his itchy eyes and say that the needed to cry. :(
I've never seen him so happy about going to visit his pediatrician Dr. Espe!

Batman approved ice cream!
Kueffer loves him some yummy ice cream- yes, he is Grandpa Bob's grandson! :) We often stop for frozen yogurt after school or special occasions.
Earlier this week, I was told about this really fun ice cream called Krazy Kolors at a local ice cream shop. Sooo I promise Kueffer we would go if he was good that morning and went with Mommy to the gym earlier...yes, Mommy went to the gym and then for ice cream. I know. ...well, it was a HIT! He loved it and the yummy mess he made. The ladies working in the shop got such a kick out of him ENJOYING his ice cream to the fullest! He was the cutest mess.

Easter Party!
Last Friday, Kueffer and his sweet friend Lauren hosted an Easter egg hunt for their preschool classes. When planning, Mommy was surprised to see that they received 100% YES responses to the invitation...that meant all 22 classmates + their little brothers and sisters and parents! Let's just say that Mommy was praying for sunshine so that they could handle everyone!:)
Getting ready for the Egg Hunt to start...
Bunny Ears!
We did have to move the date from Wed to Friday due to the weather,
but the day ended up being PERFECT!
On Friday, even withthe moved date, over 24 kiddos and 19 adults came (2 couldn't make it) and we loved having them all!
All of the kiddos and their parents had a great time. 
We are lucky to have such a wonderful preschool family and love spending time with all of them.

Palm Sunday
Last Sunday was Palm Sunday and at our church, the children parade down the sanctuary waving palm fronds at the beginning of the service. Last year, Kueffer spotted Mommy in the crowd and, needless to say, Mommy got to parade with the kiddos. yeah.
This year, Kueffer was such a big boy.
At Sunday School drop off, there was a 4 year old (yep, older than K!)
that did not want to leave his mommy.
Kueffer helped to convince him to stay and 'play' with him.
Kueffer did a great job and was all business waving his branch high and
on the way back up the aisle, he spotted Mommy in the crowd.
Instead of wanting to stay, he just said 'Hi, Mommy!' and kept on. What a big boy!
Mommy is sooo sad. There were the cutest pics of K in his Palm Sunday church outfit and they are lost. :( Must have accidently deleted. bummer

Easter Egg Hunt #1
Saturday, Kueffer, Daddy and Mommy attended the annual Easter Egg Hunt at our gym.
Kueffer is so lucky that one of his favorite babysitters, Miss Molly also works at the gym and helped him make some FUN art while we were there!
There were so many fun things to do before the hunt even started...
they wanted to make sure that all of the kiddos were loaded up with suger so that the egg hunt would be VERY exciting!;)
K made lots of pretty art projects like painting eggs, decorating cookies, blowing bubbles, and eating popsicles!
Then he was ready to get some eggs! 
(K had to stop and blow on some dandelions too!)
(K had to stop and blow on some dandelions too!)He definitely had a strategy and scored big!
Can't wait for our next egg hunt.

Preschool Fun
The Thursday before spring break, Mommy was the parent helper in Kueffer's preschool class. It was so much fun! Mommy loved seeing all of the kiddos play together and even played and read stories to them. Thursday was 'movement class' so we all participated with Miss Martha.
Kueffer loves movement - that's where he learned the cool 'popcorn' move ...
and we all did 'popcorn', 'airplane' and a new one...HOTDOG! 
Mommy really enjoyed playing with all of the children and think that they liked her too!
