Happy Cinco De Mayo!!

Excitement!! First butterfly to emerge from their cacoon!! (chrysalis)


Luckily Victoria did not have school yesterday, cause she was not feeling well :(

Butterflies roused her :)

Today was Cinco De Mayo and a celebration at school!
Several stations were set up for the kids

Here is my station! We made Gods Eyes from yarn and sticks


This station was dancing!

Singing!

These poor moms sang the same songs over and over all morning!

Stop for snack :)

Decorating their own picture frame of sticks

Having their pictures taken by another mom :)

Playing ball! Gerri did great kicking the big ball

Ms V was still not feeling well so we took her home right after she refused to get her picture taken.
You can tell she is under the weather :(

But more butterflies were out!!

After a 2 hr nap she felt better and played quite a while with my tape measure :)

Gerri just loves to color!
The ortho Dr was very happy with her hand coordination and is not going to do anything with them for now

First time eating a pudding snack :) :)


Gerri is already using her legs more and more. She was able to get ON and OFF the potty by HERSELF!
That is SO big for her! and us! our poor backs are very happy :)
I let her climb into the car seat from her stroller and then get herself out of the car seat and into the stroller at school! She was SO proud of herself.
We are seeing her use her legs and knees more and more already!

Is there a reason behind the kids being naked so much?

I didn't realize you were doing so much lifting--glad Gerri is making strides toward doing some of those things herself. I'm sure it makes her feel pretty proud! (as well as saving your backs!)
