Looks like 2011 is officially started for the De Leon’s.
Vin started his new daycare last week and is acclimating well. Drew is there with him which made it easier and they have a different activity each day such as Spanish, Computer, Energizers, Choir and Art. I pick him up at 4 everyday but they’re open until 6 if needed.
Teri is back on the road again, but enjoyed a long holiday break and then another when we went to New Orleans. Chili’s is currently featuring a menu called
“Wild or Mild” which she developed. It’s been highly successful and we’re really proud of her. Try it the next time your there!
School started for me today and all went well. Nothing too crazy for day one but we’ve been notified to watch for students we feel are unbalanced. We’ve also been told to map exit and crisis strategies in case of situations like Virginia Tech or the Arizona shooting. Both of these situations came from college age males so the Universities are highly aware of this lately.
Other than that we’ve been up to routine things around here. We were able to complete lots of house projects which I’ll be posting up here soon.
Things Vin is doing at 2 ½
• Still says “Momma hold you” instead of “Momma hold me”
• Cannot count past 3 but knows his colors and shapes
• Says “I’m the boss” and thinks it’s true
• Rodeo’s everyday and calls himself “Beau”
• Sees pumas, snapping turtles and tigers in our house
• Still sleeps in his crib although his big bed is up
• Has started prolonging bedtime by saying “ I need glass of milk” in his whining voice.
• Loves Dora and Diego
• Plays hid and go seek under his pillow in the morning
He was so proud of himself and headed straight in the house to tell me the news. Of course he didn't have time to pull up his pants. Along a similar line is "Naked Rodeo"
Vin reads in the car and likes to accessorize with hats. Here is his sun & moon hat made at school and he took his black cowboy hat to school as his Show and Tell. I think he looks so handsome.
