Weekly Recap (Monday, August 18th - Sunday, August 24th, 2008)

This week was a busy week!

• Hit the 17 Months Mark
• Seemed to be an early riser this week, getting up around 5a or 5:30am, although he did sleep til 6am on Saturday!
  Did okay this week at school but did have a few days where he had minor meltdowns
• Played outside at school every day and loved it - went down the slide and played with his friends in the little house
• His naps were inconsistent this week - some were normal 2 hours, others were only a bit over an hour
• This was Ginny's last week at school as she is moving away (aww)
• Had an excellent week with eating with his spoon, getting most of it in his mouth
• Went to Davis Farm Petting Zoo/Splash Zone with Mommy & Daddy on Wednesday
• Had two pony rides this week!
• Got to see lots of animals (sheep, goats, horses, cows, llamas, ducks, bunnies, pigs) and he was not that afraid to feed them or touch them
• Cute moment before the fair...we were standing in my parents kitchen getting ready to leave. Alexander was standing in the middle of the 4 of us and put his arms up. He spun from one person to the next, to the next and to the next not knowing which one he wanted to have pick him up. He spun a few times and seemed excited yet frustrated all at the same time...we got a huge chuckle out of the situation
• Went to Marshfield Fair with Mommy & Daddy and Grammie & Grampie
• Loved to watch the trains go by
• In awe of the big kid rides at the fair and would just watch them go around & around
• Was in a good mood at the fair despite no nap, thankfully he napped (short one) at Grammie & Grampie's
• Got to have cheese puffs for the third weekend in a row and got so excited when he was shown a plate of cheese puffs and he couldn't contain his excitement
• Went for the usual Sunday morning walk with Daddy for breakfast to the gazebo
• Mommy, Daddy & Alexander went for a walk Sunday afternoon where he actually put a spoon full of ice cream in his mouth but he wasn't crazy for it
• The main food staples this week were PB & J, hot dogs, grilled cheese, pizza
