Yesterday was a big deal - we had "Open House" (or what I fondly remember as Back to School night) at Alex's school. Alex is attending a charter school called Seven Generations, and being that we live in a good school district with a good public school down the street, it was a tough decision to make. But it's great - he has 14 kids in his class (which is small!). The school focuses on sustainability and respecting self/others/the world. They go on a hike every day [weather permitting]. They've been eating lunch outside every day. He comes home with new Spanish vocab [they have Spanish in increasing increments and *daily* starting in fifth grade - their goal is for the kids to be "fluent" by 8th grade!].. specifically, he was excited about learning the Spanish word for "bathroom" - "Bano!". Alex talks about doing yoga, stretches, and "peaceful playtime." He came home the other day excited because they built a house for an earthworm outside. All of this is integrated into a great math program, writers workshop, and a lot of language and literacy. I am just thrilled with it so far!
Alex takes the bus like a big boy home from school and loves it (we drive him in the morning).
For my birthday I got a fantastic new camera, thanks to my great hubby and my family!!! It has been so much fun taking pictures of everything. The quality is amazing and it's capturing the memories even more vividly than before.
Maya has mastered the art of grabbing!
She love, love, LOVES her feet and is always grabbing for them and putting them in her mouth. It's adorable!
She is smiling, giggly [ticklish!], and 4 months old today
Action drool shot!
