5th birthday party…

Diego had his fifth birthday party today. This year’s theme was a Pirate Party.

He had a blast! He had 21 friends over. Let me tell ya, it was crazy! No matter though because everyone seemed to have a great time.

We got Captain Jack Sparrow to make an appearance:

We had pinata:

We had cake and friends:

Eric made this really cool mast and put it in front of the house:

A huge and strong storm passed thru right before the party started. Thankfully, it was really short and then the sun came out. It ended up being a fantastic day. We didn’t expect anything less. 🙂

That is how long Diego lasted on his first day of summer break before telling my aunt he was bored. 😛 She had to call me because Diego was asking her he wanted to watch TV. She did not want to turn it on without my permission. He had already done his worksheets that we left him. He was tired of reading. He was tired of playing with his toys. So I said yes to the tv for an hour and he was fine.

I can’t wait for his summer camps start so he can start doing something. He is so used to being busy from 8:30 until 5:30. Poor kid. I am sure it will get better. *keeping my fingers crossed*

Diego Graduated…

From Pre-K!!! I can’t believe it has been 9 months since he started Pre-K and now he is moving on to KINDERGARDEN. He had so much fun. We love Mrs. Brown. She rocks room 105.

Today, Diego’s class did their end of the year celebration. They did a play “The Very Busy Spider” and the kids moving on to kinder were presented with certificates.

The play was super-duper adorable!!! There were 10 kids moving to kinder so they had all the speaking parts. The rest of the class were the band.

I really need to upload the video of the play but it’s about 20 min long. Diego was the owl. He “flew” into the area while hooting at the same time. He said his first line, sang the Itsy Bitsy Spider (although, he says it Ipsy Bipsy Spider) and then he said his last line. I got all teary eyed. I was so proud of him. *sigh*

Ipsy Bipsty Spider

The kids did really, really well. Mrs. Brown narrated the story and cued the kids. I was very, very impressed. Even the insect band was so cute and adorable.

Once the play was over, the future Kindergardeners went outside the room to get ready. They had made graduation caps which is what they were wearing when they came back into the room. Mrs. Brown made a speech and then presented everyone with their certificates. It was just really, really sweet.

In Thought

Once the presentation was over, we headed to the cafe and had some food. All the kids had so much fun. What a wonderful way to end the school year.

If you want to see the rest of the pictures, just click on the sun. Enjoy!

18th Month Appointment…

Finally, we took Mia for her 18 month get well visit. She gained weight and she did grow.

weight 21 lb 8 oz (10%)
length 32 3/4 in (75%)
head circ 18 1/4 (40%)

Still tall and lean. Doing well. Only concern (but a only a little): she is not really saying much. The only words she really says are Mama, Papa, Hi, Bye, Stop it, ta-da, Go, (Die)go, No. We are just going to keep an ear on her vocabulary for the next six months. But she does a lot of baby talk and she points and stuff so not a big worry at the moment.

She got three shots. I missed them this time around because I had to run to the washroom so by the time I got back, it was over. Poor kiddo.

She goes back in 6 months.

And earlier in the day, she had her first dentist’s appointment which did not go well. Eric had to hold her legs with his legs, wrap his arm around her arms and had to use his free arm to help keep her head from moving while her teeth were being cleaned. She cried for the whole exam. I am so glad I wasn’t there. I think I would have freaked. BUT she did not have any cavities which was worth the visit. She just had a lot of build up. She did get a Dora sticker. 🙂

I think she goes back to the dentist in 6 months.

And Diego did go to the dentist as well. Perfect set of teeth. Perfect patient. Just my perfect little guy. (Couldn’t help adding that since this post is more about Mia than Diego.)

Cub Family…

We went to Wrigley Field for the first time this year (hopefully not the last). It was Mia’s first trip there.

It was Cubs vs Pirates. Unfortunately, they lost 4-3 but they almost rallied at the end. We had a good time anyway. Mia was very good and so was Diego. Of course by the 7th inning, they started: Diego was like “when is it over?” and Mia was missing her nap so she started to get cranky. But we all survived the game and we all left happy. It did help that it was Build-A-Bear Day. The bears were adorable as always.

And yeah, Mia took her nap. About two hours worth. 🙂
