Winter and new year
It is officially early spring but I have not yet done my winter season post so here it is!
Holidays 2018
We stayed home for Christmas but visited Papa in early December in Arizona. The kids enjoyed the Desert Museum and exploring Papa's house and cool yard. Riding in the golf cart was a highlight!
We had a rather wet winter in San Diego and the state of CA needed all of this rain! The kids enjoyed it too-- hearing their first thunder storms, seeing rainbows and for Amara, the joy of rain boots and her own rainbow umbrella.
Amara continues to love her preschool and has been thriving there. She has been learning how to write all of the alphabet, recognize site words and continues to love the social relationships there. She has been taking ballet/tap at the YMCA and enjoys that.
Sage is mastering climbing on play structures (and furniture) and each week saying a new word or two. He recently fell in love with Amara's stuffed dog, Stella, which he refers to as "woof" and gives hugs and kisses too. Mom convinced Amara to share ownership of this prized possession (given by Dad's family in Detroit) and she has done so graciously. It didn't hurt that a new rainbow poodle stuffed animal was ordered for her as a "thank you". Amara loves her stuffies!
Sage takes music class with Songbirds Music Together. His favorite part is jamming with the box of instruments/sound makers at the end of class. He also loves being outdoors and pointing out objects he finds interesting. Clocks are a new fascination and he spots them everywhere! He also has become quite the smoocher. Ask him for a kiss and you will receive one complete with a the "smack" noise. He is quite adventurous but also extremely snuggly. Watching kid shows is a continued passion of both kids as is going out for ice cream an playing hide and seek.
Mom and Dad enjoyed taking the kids for hair cuts together at Cookie Cutters salon. Our family has also enjoyed visiting numerous indoor playgrounds or "Funlands" as Amara calls them.
