Weekly Glance...

Weekly Glance (Monday, January 23rd - Sunday, January 29th, 2012)

• After a sleep-over, spent the day, on Monday, with Papi
• Spent a great "Guys Day" with Papi - out to breakfast, over to Papi's work, then a trip to the library
• School update - either had great days (two stars) or lost a star for yelling at friends
• Some of the yelling stems from space issues or having friends use toys he was playing with....he still has difficulty using words to express himself and instead will just lash out with screaming/yelling
• Went to bed fairly late each night
• Went to dinner to 5 Guys with Daddy on Thursday
• Saturday - spent the morning with Mommy, got ready for gymnastics, did great at gymnastics, then headed into Boston with Mommy
• While in Boston, we went to the Aquarium to check out the sharks & penguins. After lunch, he wanted to go on the train, so we walked over to the train and headed to Copley. Walking around was really nice and Alexander explained to me how much he loved Boston because the buildings were so tall enough to cover the sun. We took the train back to Fanueil hall where we got some ice cream & chocolate chip cookies! After a busy yet fun afternoon, we headed back home
• One of the biggest adventures of the day was that while on the train, there was a guy & his dog (a pretty big dog). Alexander looked at me and asked if he could pet the dog. I told him he had to ask the owner but the guy heard him and said he could pet him and showed him where to pet him.  I was pretty impressed at how his comfort level with dogs is getting.
• Sunday was the day with Daddy - the boys made eggs & sausage for breakfast, then were going to head to the Patriots Send-Off Rally at Gillette Stadium
• The Rally was too crowded (lots of traffic), so Alexander & Daddy headed to Kirk & Deanna's where Alexander played with Marina for a bit
• After Kirk & Deanna's, the boys headed to Steve & Ann's house - Alexander got to play with Skyler & Sierra as well as the dogs! He's getting so much more comfortable around dogs.
• Then the boys came home for dinner, tubby & bedtime
