School Fun

One of the nice things about having Alexander in my class is being able to take pictures of him playing at school.

Playing in the rice table.



lego fun



Deep in thought to put together a puzzle.



In most of these pics you will notice a common kiddo, Burke. He is Alexander's best buddy they are lonely without one another at school.



Alexander is growing up so much. Everyday he amazes me with the things he says and does.
He was counting some items that I had and he goes " 1, 2.....Uno, Dos" were did he get that?
He wants to do everything on his own from getting food to getting in the car.
He told me the other day "Mommy, you are so pretty and I am so cool" Melts my heart.
He has a new ploy to get out of bed...."I'm Hungry"...really?
He loves to help, dust, vacuum, dishes and clothes.
He is really expressing himself very well now, sometimes too well.
He loves Libby, he say she is his dog. He will get her in his room and close her in there with him.
He has been asking alot to got to the beach, he says it is really really far away.

Tumbling Class

We enrolled Alexander in a Tumbling Class at the YMCA. It is so much fun!

This is Alexander doing a "bridge" back bend.



Backwards roll



Forwards roll



This is too funny not to share. If Alexander gets up from his spot he gets really mad if someone sits in it. So when he sat back down he pushed a little boy out of his spot. So the teacher had to pull out this purple mat for Alexander if he pushed again.....I had to be careful to not laugh.


He loves tumbling and I am so excited he got to do it. He practices his flip and back bends all the time. He also gets to do Soccer at school for free! He loves it too.

Monster Jam

Yesterday, we took Alexander to Monster Jam as his Birthday present from Jer and I.
His jaw dropped open when he saw all the trucks! We got there really early to make it to the pits.
We were able to get pictures and autographs with all 8 truck drivers.

He loved the show, I am so excited he got to see it.

Happy Valentine's Day


So much love! Thank you all so much for sending us Valentines!


Alexander's Valentine Party at School.

They had lots of yummy food and got to pass out Valentines. I did not think he would get the concept of getting and giving Valentines. But he did, he loved passing them out and loved seeing who gave him one.



Me and my friend Amy got matching shirts for out little dudes.



I had a wonderful night out with my valentine! Dinner, dessert and shopping! Perfect date!

Winter Wonderland


Last week we got a beautiful wet snow. When the temperature is in the low 30's high 20's the snow is not as solid and it makes it stick to the tree limbs and bushes. It is amazing! This is the view from my classroom at school.


When the snow is wet like this it also makes it easy to build snow men and snow balls. Alexander and I went out as soon as we got home and made a HUGE snow man.



We went to Brileigh's, one of Alexander's classmates, party. It was at chuck e cheese....fun fun!



Last week Alexander got a stomach bug with fever. He was so pitiful, he fell asleep on the couch right before we were to go to the doctor. Poor guy, at the doctor he was tested for flu and strep (cause I had it 2 weeks ago) and all came back negative it was just a viral bug. By the time we got home from the doctor his fever was gone. Thank God it was only a 24 hour bug!
