A Little About Kent

I am bound and determined to keep this blog up, but we seem to do more things and take more pictures then I can blog about in a reasonable amount of time.  But I will still give it my best effort.  Kent is growing like a weed, he recently turned 3 and will start preschool in a few weeks.   Whenever I tell him he is going to go to preschool he says, "Don't leave me!"  The kid still has an intense fear of being left.


I took Kent to a preschool-type program at the Ogden Nature Center.  They learned about things that swim.  Here is a fish magnet he caught.


Using a magnifying glass to inspect the turtle a little closer.


Chasing the wild turkeys.


We bought new storage for the kids' toys and then recycled the box into a makeshift rocket for Kent.  We took it to a park and pushed him down a hill.  We call it warm weather sledding, unfortunately it doesn't work as well as a snow sled, but it was worth a shot.


This kid still loves all things CANDY!


Hiding in a laundry basket with a flashlight.


While Ammon was on TDY last time, I took Kent and introduced him to ICEEs at Target.  Now every time we enter Target he asks for one.  He also recently learned that Grandma Udy's Walmart also has ICEEs.


When you go to the park as often as we do you have to find ways to make the park more interesting.  Here Kent is racing his cars down the slide.


Kent has a fascination with motorcycles.  Ammon was able to construct one from Duplos.  I can out the morning after and found that Kent had found a rider for it. 


No day is complete without Kent needing to tote around "stuff".  Here he is with Mickey, his blanket, and Buzz.  Don't worry, everything has to stay in the car when we get wherever we are going.


One of Kent's favorite activities for a while was helping my great-aunt Claron and her daughter Kris pop popcorn for Sunday night treats at her house.  After it was popped, it was his job to deliver it to everyone in the living room.  I think he only spilled one once. 


He is getting pretty good at his balance bike.  I think next summer he will be ready for a two wheeler with pedals.
