The Leprechauns were here…

or at least this is what Wesley’s teachers wanted them to think. 
Both of Wesley’s teachers arrived early to school to decorate the classroom for a St. Patrick’s day celebration.  There were different shaped green mylar balloons tied to the backs of all the chairs and the tables were all covered with green butcher’s block paper.  […]

Swim Class II (Week 11)

Yesterday, Wesley had only one other friend in class so he got a lot of personal time with the teacher. Ms. Amy said that his kicks are looking good, and I even saw first hand that he was able to swim on his own from the teacher to the wall and then back again. […]

Revving up for Nationals

Nicholas’ piano teacher has selected 2 songs and a series of chords for him to memorize for the National Auditions in May. We will miss his rehearsal performance in April due to Spring Break, but hopefully he’ll do alright. I think Nicholas’ progress is steady but slow which is ok by me. I am […]

For almost 2 and half weeks now, Wesley has consistently earned “2 thumbs up” approval […]

Disney Excursion

Well, I took another trip down south again this past weekend and on my way home from LA, dragged Julia and my parents along again to my favorite hangout: Disneyland. My parents were well prepared this time (on our last detour, my mom didn’t have the right clothing with her so she was walking around […]

Swim Class II (Week 10)

Wesley’s progress has been good and consistent according to his teacher Ms. Amy. He tries hard and had a lot of fun in between rotations with other kids. He’s got the best group of pals in this class (David and Laura who were also together with him in his previous Seahorse class), they hold […]
