A postcard from Danny's school
At the end of the summer, Danny will be "graduating" from the infant-toddler center where he has been attending full time since he was 3 months old. I can't begin to describe what a great time he has had there, and how wonderful and supportive the staff is, especially to a working mother who in the early days left with tears in her eyes. It's going to be a very tough goodbye for us on Sept. 1 as he prepares to start at Gavin's old preschool. For now though, it's pretty clear he's going to have a great summer!

Today in Gavin's school, we had his pinata party, complete with a song in Spanish about hitting the pinata as hard as you can!

"I all done crib."
We said goodbye tonight to the last vestiges of babyhood (sniff). He was more than ready for this change. He might even be sleeping as we speak...

Report from Little Chicks
Hanging out with the little girl of one of mommy's work colleagues.
Wednesday: We also put a box in our dramatic play area to create a dramatic play "den." As you can see, Danny and a friend spent a lot of time over there dumping all the dress up clothes out of the bin this morning:)
Playing in the snow.
Danny experiments painting on different mediums (see the wall behind him).
We used sponges to paint on Wednesday. Danny was very careful not to get any paint on himself.

On the road...
We took a road trip on New Year's Eve to Chicago to visit the Shedd Aquarium and have lunch with our dear friend Shannon and her new friend Michael. We went on from there to Benton Harbor, MI, where we enjoyed a stay in a Marriott with a pool, which we shared that evening with a group of ladies who kept returning to their rooms for a "refresher" I suspect. Pretty funny. On New Year's Day we journeyed just 30 minutes up the coast of Lake Michigan to South Haven, a great spot on the lake where my friends from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch days -- Monte and Mei-Ling and their daughter Sofia -- had rented a house for the week. We just stayed one night and part of two days, but it was great to catch up and see the kids play together, since they live in Argentina, there are not too many chances to do this. In light of this busy trip, you'd think I'd have some great photos to share, but we were so busy relaxing this is the only one I remembered to take!
