Weekly Glance...

Weekly Glance (Monday, January 12th - Sunday, January 18th, 2009)

• Good full week at school in his Toddler class
• Typical wake up times with a few mornings of 6am (we like these!)
• Lots of use of words as well as sign language
• Got his progress report from Ms. Mary-Jo (did very well)
• Shows Ms. Danielle how the fishes swim and loves to go see the fishes (there is a fish tank at school)
• Started saying "Thank You" via sign language
• Elmo's World still rules our house...if the TV is on, he wants to watch Elmo so we're trying to limit the amount of TV on
• LOVES to help making food - needs to get out the jelly & bread and then spread everything on the bread and help cut - thankfully we use plastic knives
• LOVES to do the hokey pokey, especially when Daddy does it
• Wants to eat on his couch with his tray rather than in the kitchen which is another reason we try to limit tv
• Went to Grammie & Grampie's on Saturday
• Played at Grammie & Grampie's with the horsey, trucks, blocks and produced new artwork for Grammie by painting (thankfully the paint comes off floors & clothes)
• Auntie Sue & Moira came over to visit - Alexander got to open more Christmas presents and loved opening them and immediately had to open the bath markers. He even said Thank you once he was all done
• Had a lowkey day at home on Sunday because of the snow (We live in our own winter wonderland) but he didn't go play due to snowpants snafu
• Watched the snow plows and Daddy and loved having Daddy throw snow at the windows
• Walked around the house with Mommy's bag saying "bye-bye" and headed for the door
• After months of refusing, Alexander let us measure his height on his 'Growth Stick' - he's 32 1/2" (we measured three times)
• Does well with eating fruit (loves bananas & strawberries)
