Check-in, check-up & a V day date

Dan & I had our 1st chat with Teacher Bel about how Thomas is doing in Bambino.  Highlights are that: (1) his vocabulary is very good & he can identify animals & sounds, even bulldozers!, (2) has very good concentration/focus for his work and doesn't leave until it is done, (3) is very independent & likes to try doing things by himself, (4) he shares food with his classmates during snacktime and also learned how to say "May I have?" from Zoey who he likes to get snacks from, (5) he knows how to follow directions like line up & march, (6) he knows how to defend himself in case any of his classmates attempts to bully him.  He does, however, have to learn how to share and play better with his classmates - he butts heads with Chummy who constantly tries to prove that he is the bigger boy ;)  He also can improve his fine motor skills through more arts & crafts.  Thomas loves music & animals and engages well in class especially when those are the topics. :)

John had his 1st month pediatrician check-up and all is well!  Height is still 25th percentile while weight has gone up to 50th percentile.  Eyes look blueish grey and milestones to watch out for are smiling, giggling and cooing (next month).

Dan & I had our 1st date without both boys!!!  We went on our Valentine's date in Mona Lisa and enjoyed their delicious panizza, soup, Fra Diavolo & Tiramisu :9  Thanks to Lola & we were able to enjoy Mona Lisa tonight for Valentine's. ;)
