• He had to write three clues which he picked them and wrote them himself
• Bedtime this week was pretty great - no major fighting or issues
• Couple nights we set up a bed on his floor to have a camping trip with all of his stuffed animals but he wasn't has cozy so he ended up waking up during the night and coming in to cuddle with mommy
• Had a date night with Mommy Thursday night
• Saturday morning, he relaxed with Mommy before gymnastics

• Alexander played with Marina & Ethan for the afternoon
• Woke up at 4am on Sunday with stomach rumblings and a bit warm, so cuddled with Mommy
• Sunday morning, hung out with Daddy (played Wii)
• Wasn't feeling 100% Sunday, so Alexander & Mommy had a low-key day - cuddled, watched movies, and played some games

Marina's Birthday...

Alexander went to Marina's birthday party today as Marina turns 3! He had an amazing time playing with Marina and his new buddy Ethan!

Valentines...

For homework, Alexander had to fill out the Valentine's for his class - all 20 of them. And I can proudly say that he did just say - he wrote all 20 names and signed his name to each & every one!

What made me even prouder that as he was signing a card he said "look Mom, I can spell love"...and then he did just that he wrote "Love Alexander" all by himself.  It's so exciting to watch him grow and I'm proud to be his mom!

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

Day in Boston...

Today, Alexander & Mommy spent the afternoon in Boston. We went to the Aquarium, took the T over to Copley, walked around Boylston, hung out in Fanueil Hall where we got cookies & ice cream. It was a fantastic day!
