Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday, we went on a field trip with Alex's class, it was a lot of fun. As soon as Genne saw Alex, she run to him and gave him a big hug and screamed " brother". She held his hand the whole time and wanted to stay by him. At one point of the time, the teacher's wanted to take a group pictures of the kids but Genne did not want to let go of Alex's hand and screamed when we tried to get her to let go, so the teacher let her be in the picture while she stand right next to Alex...They thought that was the sweetest thing ever. Matt had half day off and got to go with us and spend some quality time with the kiddos, they loved it♥

Could not get both to look at the camera

Having fun at the photo booth

Genne really liked the bunnies

The best part of the day was the swing, they had a blast with daddy pushing them

See those happy faces, priceless!

A turn on the slide...Even daddy got a turn :)

well, that's it for today...See you next time!

So, yesterday we took the kids to the parade and it was cold and I don't mean 60 degrees cold...I mean 30-something-seeing-you-breath-COLD. We had a lot of fun and by we I mean Genne mostly, Alex was his regular party-animal self.

So here are a ~~few~~ ok a LOT of pictures that I took.

Update on our Alex

He has learned a ton recently.
He respond better to people and even want to interact most of the time.
He love numbers and to count things.
He can recognize his name if you write it down and can trace it with his fingers.
He can spell out "sega" and "sonic" with his blocks.
He plays really well with Genne and will sometime try to get her attention by coming really close to her face and trying to make her laugh
He knows the months if you show him a calender and can tell you all the number in there
He know his shapes and can also identify them anywhere and also his colors
He knows sister's name and call her "Genebib"...Way cute and if you write it down he knows it is Genne's name.
He always says "I am sorry, soo sorry" whenever he is upset, hurt or in trouble.
When he feel down he says" Are you ok bu-ddy".
He refers to himself as "Alex" or "Alexandre"...So funny because he will cry, you can hear him going " Alexandre so sad"
When Gennie is crying he say " Why so sad"...At least he knows his emotions...Right?!
His teacher says that he is doing really well in school and are really proud of all the progress he is making...Although, they want to get him tested for autism, which we will do soon. They also said that anytime they can't get their Ipad to work, they just have to give to Alex and he will know what to do...So proud of my little non-talking guy :)
He had recently added ships and cookies to his menu.
His favorite game in his iPod are Sonic and The Angry Birds ( which he is really good at getting 3 stars)
His favorite toys are his blocks, leggos and puzzles
He can repeated a complete full sentence really clear.
Everyday, when Genne and I go and get him from the bus, the first thing he says as soon as the door is open is : "Mama, we here...we here" ...Soooo cute ♥ ♥ ♥

He is such a patient, smart little guy. We LOVE you and are very proud of you buddy
