Weekly Recap...

Weekly Recap (Monday, August 11th - Sunday, August 17th, 2008)

• Had a decent week at school - a few times got a bit fussy before nap or wouldn't eat all of us lunch
• Had a few meltdowns this week at night before bed/nap
• The mini meltdowns caused some noncooperation to which we ended up having mini picnics on the kitchen floor a few times rather than sitting in his seat
• Daddy put him to bed on Tuesday because Mommy was stuck in traffic
• His new favorite food is eating a slice of bread (thankfully it's whole wheat) - he'll go over to the fridge and tug on door until I open it and then he will pull the loaf of bread out and hand it to me. He'll sit on his bum and wait for you to hand him a slice
• Does really well with a spoon & fork
• Words are starting to come more frequently and when they're supposed to (Example: He says "Hi", with a wave, when he walks into a room and sees you or if he wants to come up onto our bed in the morning he'll walk over put his arms up and say "up"
• Says JoJo (his teacher is MaryJo), and Aa-den
• Took a short nap on Saturday and got fussy later because of it - thankfully he went down for a 2nd nap (because he needed it)
• Had a few people over on Saturday for a small cookout (Grammie, Grampie, Alyson, Grandpa, Grandma & his cousins)
• Alexander proceeded to eat his birth weight in cheese puffs and was covered in faux-orange cheese
• Loved playing with the boys and throwing the ball around
• Played Ladder Ball with Grandpa and got very excited when he put a ball on the rung
• Grammie & Alyson gave him a bath and then he went to bed @ 9pm due to having company over (thankfully he got his 2nd nap which allowed him to stay up that late)
• Took his walk with Daddy on Sunday morning for breakfast, walk at the gazebo & some playground time
• Took a 2 1/2 hr nap on Sunday (which could be because he went to bed so late the night before)
• He got a scratch on his arm and now knows to call it his "booboo"
• Went on a special trip with Mommy & Daddy today (August 17th)
• After our special trip, we went to Castle Island where we watched planes take off, doggies run by, and birds swoop in - we had some french fries & a hot dog and then walked around the Sugar Bowl. Alexander loves watching all the doggies run by
