Learning about the drought at preschool

K learned about the drought at preschool last week.

It was Ugly Hat Day at school Friday.

Unfortunately, I missed that memo. 

The teachers improvised for the kids that didn't bring hats with this picture!

Lol! I love my little man!

Weekend shenanigans

Last weekend Daddy & K played a little football in the living room....

 

And K practiced his boxing skills....

A new park

Last weekend I took K to a new park. There is a large rock climbing structure there so he loved it!!!

He was able to climb to the top & get down all by himself!

" I'll be your Super Hero Ava "

When I picked up K from preschool today his teacher told me she would like to tell me something. She asked K to go get his lunch box, so he did not hear our conversation. My heart started beating so fast.....what did she need to tell me.....of course I start thinking negatively...and I started thinking something bad happened. No. She told me she asked K to walk away because she thought it would embarrass him. She said she over heard K speaking to Ava ( one of his friends at school). He said, " I'll be your Super Hero Ava!", as he protected her from the other kids. His teacher went on to tell me that I should be very proud, and that K is a very nice young man, and will make a woman very happy one day!

My heart just crumbled.

He had told me the day before that he was protecting a girl from some other kids at school. And that he was pretending to be a super hero to scare the other kids off. After speaking to his teacher, I asked him about Ava on the drive home. He told me, he was protecting her again today. In his own words:

" Don't worry Ava, I got this! I'll be your Super Hero!"

He's melting his Mama's heart.......

New plants !!!

Mama got some new plants....

2 White Birds of Paradise!!

Taking the skin off Cucumbers



K has been helping out in the kitchen lately. He is now able to skin his own cucumber for the pasta salad he loves to eat:

 

He helps mix the pasta salad up.....while he eats the olives.....

                                                      He's a GREAT helper!!!!

Yum, another olive!

Valentine's Day 2015

Happy Valentine's Day! K has been very sick this week. He had a trip to the ER the Tuesday evening before Valentine's. He had a fever of 103. It was very scary, but the doctor said he was going to be fine. He was just catching a bug. On Valentine's Day K was feeling better, so we decided to take him out to lunch:

                                                        K loves the video games!!!!

                                                        My turkey burger.

Daddy had Fajitas!!!!

                                                       K's macaroni & cheese!!!

 

                                                   Shortly after lunch he was not feeling well again.
                                           We stayed home for the rest of the day, and K got some rest.
                                                             Poor little guy.
