Child of the Week

Child of the week

At Noah's school, all the kids get their turn as "child of the week". It's a special week when the child gets to bring his/her family, to do show-and-tell and gets picked to be the helper for the teacher. Noah was unfortunately out sick for 2 days that week. We did make up for it as the whole family went to school with Noah and spent part of the day with him. Joel seems to fit right in and became a little class mascot in a way. Everyone loves to squeeze his cheeks!

Spring is coming soon!

Spring is coming

March finally brought us much needed sunshine. Noah came out of the house one day and said "oh, the grass is here!" The pile of snow is dwindling. The birds are out. We took the kids to the zoo one day, and Joel was very excited. It probably was like a first visit for him, since he was able to roam around without being carried so much. He learned to say "turtle" and perfected his "roars".
I think the monkeys are still their favorite.
