School has begun!
Gino has started his last year at Grace Preschool, hard to believe he will be in K next year.
Always fun to be in school with your buddy!
Big
day in our house, Giada will be at school ALL day. 3:00 seems like it
takes forever to arrive, Gino must ask me 10x a day if it is time to go
pick her up yet; he misses his buddy. She was so sweet to want photos
with all of us before school that morning.
So
we gradually chopped a few inches off Giada's hair to make sure
she really wanted short hair. She kept asking for it, so we really
chopped it. So far she loves it. I love it since it is so much easier
to comb. She has such thick hair which is very new to me. She now ONLY
ever wants to wear headbands, but that is easy and she can do it
herself. I am quickly realizing the days of me being able to guide her
on her hair or clothing is long gone.
Lorenzo
is catching up to the size of his buddy Drew. They boys have had fun
hanging out; AKA grabbing each others face and hair, while the girls
play soccer. Giada has loved playing soccer this season. She has quite a
few of her best buddies, and school friends on the team. Coach
Garrett has done a great job with the kids!
Yeah! Lorezno got to meet Sara at the Paso Robles Olive Oil Festival.
While
Giada is at school we have a few adventures. We try not to tell her
about all of them, or she feels like she is missing out. Ice cream and
silly faces with cousin Stella!
Mom, don't worry just a few bubbles snuck out!
Big boy still has LOTS of smiles all day long.
Somehow we missed the Avansino girls parties and Frannie's was way back in April!
Happy 2nd Birthday Clara!
Super fun when you show up with a matching swimsuit as your buddy!
American Girl Pizza Party for Frannie's Birthday!
Cookie Decorating consisted of frosting with a side of sprinkles!
Over
the summer, Gino did a little soccer too! He needed a little more
encouragement to get on the field but this season was better than the
last. He runs all around talking about soccer and then just wants to
watch when the games come around.
Loves giving Lorenzo hugs even if Lorenzo is sometimes unsure about it!
Mastered the Bumbo chair, and liked the assistance of sitting upright.
We got a couple visits in with cousin Em before she headed off to Germany.
Yum,
peas! So far he hasn't really spit food out how the other kids did. He
makes a funny face for the first bite and then eats it up. He also
doesn't care if it is warmed up and prefers it cold. Makes it easy for
me! Eat up little man.
