Audition

Jazelle went to her Print Audition for Gymboree on Monday. We had to arrive there between 9 am and 12pm. I had a babysitter lined up a few days in advance for Kaleb and the night before had cancelled because she was sick and had to go into the hospital. I was stressing out because this was Jazelle's first appt. and I did not want to cancel. So I called around and finally got a friend of mine to watch Kaleb. I dropped him off the next morning and headed down to Culver City. I am so grateful for the carpool lane, and the GPS. We got there around 10:30. It took awhile to find parking, there were none on the street so I had to drive a little further and parked in a near by neighborhood. Jazelle had been sleeping the whole time, and I actually had to wake her up. We got into the building to find a lot of people and kids waiting for their number to be called. We were number 117. I had brought toys and snacks to keep Jazelle happy. She just loved seeing all the other babies. I had actually saw a friend of mine from High school there with her 2 little ones. We had waited probably a little over a 1/2 hour and it was Jazelle's turn. They had her sit and then took multiple pictures of her, I was happy she smiled! So I have no idea when we would hear back to see if we got it or not. We will just wait and see.

This is the outfit Jazelle wore!

I think she was the cutest one there.

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.
