Other Happenings

Adam finally gets tomatoes. Mostly green ones. 

Alec and Trevor on P.J. Day #2

As I've written, Alec has amazing self-confidence. Here's an example. One morning I informed Alec to get ready for Pajama Day. Since he sleeps in only his underwear, this still required getting dressed for school. He said, "Mom, are you sure it's today?" Yep, I got the email. So after school, he told me that it wasn't Pajama Day, and he was the only kid in pajamas. (mismatched pajamas even) I felt terrible. How could I mess this up? I started to apologize to Alec for my big mistake, and he says, "Mom, it's alright. Cuz now I get 2 Pajama Days!" Not embarrassed, only lucky. Love it.

                                                         

Annalisa at the Lafayette Homecoming Parade. At first she tried eating the candy as fast as she got it, but she eventually stopped doing that. There was just too much candy. The kids love this parade. (Now all that candy in up high in my closet for reward treats. That's not too nice of me, is it?)

Trevor was part of the parade. He handed out Smarties and made sure he gave Alec two.

Alec was doing jumping jacks and other antics to get the attention of candy throwers. It worked well for him. He got twice as much as the other kids. I waited for Maren's marching band that never passed by us. Apparently they entered the parade at a more convenient place further down the route. I missed it. Bummer.
