Week Glance...

Week at a Glance (Monday, April 21st - Sunday, April 27th, 2008)

• Lowkey week at home & school
• Turned carseat around in Mommy's car
• Went to the playground a few times after school with Daddy & Mommy
• Played in the front yard - loves watching the cars & trucks drive by but hates grass on his hand (won't crawl on the grass)
• Did really good at school this week (wore a lot of new clothes since we had some nice weather this week)
• Loves to take his shoes & socks off at school...and sometimes even his pants. We don't know where this comes from
• Took a few steps at school
• Loves to Dance - he'll dance to the alphabet magnet on the fridge, to the Wiggles, and to his basketball game
• This week was a pretty consistent week re: food. He ate waffles & applesauce for breakfast, hotdogs & cheese for lunch, yogurt & puffs/cheerios for snack, and peanut butter sandwich for dinner. He did eat the ham steak Saturday for dinner which was a nice change.
• Did a great job of stacking his blocks this weekend
• Said 'water' for Mommy when I asked him what he wanted to drink - he's only mumbled it since then
• He also repeats "O-K" when someone says it
• Saturday went to run errands with Mommy (went to Babies R Us to buy a 2nd carseat and some clothes for the warmer weather)
• After errands, all three of us went over to the playground. Alexander's biggest enjoyment is going thru the tunnels and going down the slides - those make him quite giddy & excited (hands & feet moving a mile a minute)
• I know I've been saying this since June of last year, but I think Alexander is *finally* cutting some teeth...but we know it's not over til the fat lady sings.
• Sunday went to the Kite Festival for Austism Awareness Month - loved taking in all of the festivities (Played with the bubble machine, won a prize & LOVED the doggy)
• Went out to lunch on Sunday with Mommy, Alyson, Grammie, & Grampie. He did great eating all day: Had pizza, couple bites of chocolate chip cookie, and some of Mommy's Broccoli & Cheddar soup (liked the soup)
• Napped well this weekend but seemed to fight his morning naps even though he was tired
• We misssed his 2nd nap on Sunday due to the kite festival so he ended up taking it alot later than normal - but he was pooped from the day o' fun
