Leap Year

Sophia has been bringing some really cute art peices home from school...thought I would capture a couple for her blog. Each one, she has a different story or scene she describes. She loves painting. Xavier...he just loves walking around, minding his own business and yelling at Annie, "STAY!"

Friday at the Zoo

After picking Sophia up from school at 12, we drove down the Sprain Parkway to The Bronx Zoo for a couple hours. To our surprise, there were not many animals out to see! We were bummed that not even the Children's Petting Zoo was open. So, we just kind of walked around, looked at the animal statues and went on the carrosel TWICE! Still a fun time and nice weather to be out and about...both Sophia and Xavier enjoyed the day....Mommy too!

Phone Pics

Been a fun week in phone pics. Sophia has really been focusing on her writing, coloring and addition. Xavier has been active at gym class, running into walls, and helping make messes every where he goes. Sophia has been calling him "Mr. Falls-a-lot".

Valentine's Day

A special thank you to Abuelita and Abuelito for the wonderful Valentine's packages Sophia and Xavier received yesterday. Filled with such cute clothes and goodies and pre-school work books! Sophia was thrilled to unwrap every item, saying, "This is just so special!" Sophia and Mommy worked on Valentine's cookies on Monday, to take to school for their Valentine party. Everything was a big hit today, this Valentine's Day, Xavier's FIRST ONE! Even our neighbor, Pat, showed up this morning with six Valentine cookies and a card...so super special. Sophia and Xavier are very loved, that's for sure.
On a side note, if you can notice, Xavier's forehead is bruised. He has been walking on his own for almost a month now and seems to find every doorway square in the middle of his forehead! Doh!! Poor litle quy!

A normal day...

Tuesdays are the only days of the week that we have no classes or playdates. We just do laundry, and try to clean up...or PLAY! Sophia has been working on that airplane since the morning, she is calling it the rainbow airplane. She is SO GOOD at coloring in the lines. Also, yesterday at swim, Sophia received her first Badge. She is now an AquaTot Starfish because she can jump off the wall and swim back to the wall unassisted and without floaties. All the students put their badge on their swim caps, so she was SUPER excited to have earned one!
