I love my children. Eric loves his children. And I am certain they love each other.
Aren’t they so beautiful? It just hurts so much how much love I have for them.
so much love…

back to school…
Ahh, the first day of school has arrived and gone. I have a first grader in my hands now. New building, new room, new teacher, new and old friends. He has been signed up for the after school program, chess and hip hop.
We also had a sad little girl who wishes she was going to school as well. We thought she was going to have a hard time letting him go, but she was a trooper. No tears. One more year and she will be off to pre-school. I’m excited for her.
I’m hoping a smooth year. Only 169 days left. 
last day…
Image
Of his SAY of Chicago soccer league. 10 out of 12 kids came today. Not bad. You should really see his official team picture. Only six kids came and none of the coaches showed up. So I will show the last day picture instead.
They all had a great time and before I know it, 2012 will be here soon enough.
he’s six…
Happy 6th Birthday Diego!!!
Let’s see:
height 44 1/2 inches
weight 47 lbs
Only one doctor’s visit between get well visits (he had his first ever ear infection in February), he is in great health. Let’s keep it that way.
I can’t believe he is six already. He is becoming such a great boy. He loves his sports, loves school and loves his little sister. Before you know it, he will be in college. *sigh* Must not think about it.
I love you very much Diego. Keep being who you are.
arrrrr…
One word: Patching.
Well, he has to have his eye patched for four hours a day until his next appointment which will be August 1. It seems that his amblyopia (aka lazy eye) is very minimal at this time. I was watching the doctor trying to get his eye to “jump” but it was very sporadic. It was interesting how she was doing it too. Well keeping my fingers crossed that this will work and his eyes will align the way they should.
The hard part will be getting him to wear it. Good thing he does not have to wear it for the four hours consecutively. But he does need to be wearing it while reading or coloring or any activity that will make him focus. Watching TV is not an option. Bummer. 
Another thing: Do you know how hard is it to find adhesive eye patches? And how expensive they are? I found some on Amazon with free shipping. Hopefully, they will fit. *sigh*
Wish us luck!
budding artist…
Diego drew this wonderful picture at school today:
By far my favorite one yet. I love the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower and the Bean. The Statue has boobs (I think) and the Bean has the city’s reflection with people under and around it. Someone suggested to frame it. I think I will.
it’s out…
Diego’s first tooth has finally fallen out. It only took 75 days since he first noticed the loose tooth.
He was messing with it all day long. Finally when I got home, he had dinner so that made it even looser. Eric tried to pull it but Diego said ouch so he stopped. We waited a bit and then I tried. And sure enough the tooth popped out with little resistance. There was some blood but Diego did not freak out. He rinsed out his mouth and tooth.
He was so excited that he finally had a tooth to put out for the tooth fairy. Yay!!!
loose teeth…
Diego was eating corn on the cob last night and he was using his side teeth to eat it. We were just looking at him and he said “My teeth hurt and that is why I’m eating like this.” So I checked his teeth to see why the would hurt and noticed that his two bottom teeth were loose. OMG! He is really excited since he has been wondering when the tooth fairy will arrive. I wonder what the fairy will bring.
first email…
Diego sent his first email to his teacher today. He had to type his four spelling words three times each and email it to his teacher.
And he got his first email back to him. His teacher reply what a good job he did. He was very proud of himself.
Just awesome!!!
happy october…
My favorite month of the year is here!!! Why do I love thee, let me count the ways: fall is here, Halloween, my birthday, weather is so nice and crisp, did I mention my birthday, the leaves are turning colors, etc.
Not much happened in September. Diego started school and I think there are a lot of learning pains for him. And for us as well because new experiences for him mean new parental learning for us. The hard part is knowing that there is a school Diego and a home Diego. And we are trying to get both Diegos to be the one and the same. We are working on it.
Anyhoo, enjoy October. Laters!
