First day of School!

Kaleb started his first day of preschool on Tues. Aug.18Th! He was so happy to be going to school! In the morning he ran around with excitement, and couldn't contain himself. We had a yummy breakfast and got dressed. It seemed like it took forever because he would not sit still.

Here Kaleb is with his backpack ready to go!

We got to school and he literally ran inside ahead of me! While passing the other kids, who were still hanging by their mother's sides. His teacher Grandma K took a picture of him, and then he went on to exploring. The weekend before school started his teachers put on an Open House for the kids and parents to get to know the school as well as each other.

So Kaleb was very comfortable.

His best friend Daniel also attends the same school.

Here is Kaleb's classmates at "circle time" Kaleb got to stand up and share his Magic 8 ball. Then Teacher Ms. Shirley taught then 2 magic words! and sang them a song,

Please and Thank you

those are the magic words!

Kaleb loves to sings songs, and he would repeat this over and over at home! it was wonderful!

He really does listen at school.

I can't believe I have a preschooler! He loves to learn and be involved, he is so smart. and I know he will do well.

Audition

Jazelle has her first audition this Monday for a print job. Gymboree/ Janie and Jack/ Crazy 8

are casting for all of their projects for the whole year. Wish us luck! I went out yesterday to Gymboree and bought her a cute outfit for an amazing price! Gymborie was having a sale where everything was 30% off so I got a skirt, shirt, and shoes all for $12.95! this is a great deal because usually their prices are very high. so wish us luck Monday, and pray i don't get lost. I have to be down in Culver City, between 9am and 12pm. LA traffic here I come!

Happy Birthday

Kaleb had his 3rd Birthday on August 28th. The night before I had asked Kaleb what he wanted to eat for breakfast and he chose Donuts. So that morning we went out and got donuts, Kaleb picked the chocolate sprinkle kind, and ate every single bit. Also the night before we were invited

to go and join some friends at the beach, so after breakfast we got ready to go to the beach.

Kaleb had a blast with all his friends. Later on that night Jason came home early and we took Kaleb to Chuck E Cheeses for pizza and games.

Birthday Party

We celebrated Kaleb's Birthday with family that weekend. I had planned for us to go swimming and just hang out.

We've asked Kaleb many times what kind of party he wanted and he has told us Dinosaur every

time. So I being the procrastinator did not order a cake. I was searching the web and came across a dinosaur cake that you can make yourself. I watched the "how to video" and got excited. Went out and bought all the ingredients, and was impressed that it was cheaper to make your

own cake, and more fun.

Kaleb received so much stuff, and loves everything he got.

Thanks to all who came to celebrate this occasion.

Children's Garden

This past week I invited a friend of mine and her daughter to join us for a day at The Huntington Library. The Huntington is a huge garden, and every month they have a free day, where you have to request tickets to go. I had requested 5 tickets and was able to invite a friend. Let me tell you what an adventure we had. This place was 50min away from where we live and it took us an hour and a half! to get there. I had printed directions from Mapquest and we still got lost. We went from missing the freeway sign to not seeing any of the street signs. After driving around and around we decided to stop at a gas station and ask for directions. The Gardens were right under our noses practically. The Mapquest directions were so wrong. And it was worse that neither of us were good at directions. I always get lost while driving somewhere new. We sure wished we had a GPS.

We finally arrived, the weather was beautiful, the trees and flowers too.
