Madeline, these past several months she has brought so much joy to our lives. Her laughter and smile are so contagious and Dominic just makes her smile. As were learning to share in our household non-stop. She is crazy on how she loves to go up and down the stairs, play with swords, hide and go seek and finding Dominic's jackets then bringing them to him which we thought was a thoughtful gesture.
So it has been 2 months since we have been at Kinder Care and the kids have been adjusting well. It has been a little harder for Madeline then Dominic when we leave them in the morning. However, we have noticed that she is actually using sign language at home to communicate a lot more on what she is trying to say. She has been sad when I leave her but playing with her friends when I pick her up. Dominic has been having a little harder time but learning his numbers up to 30 because there talking about the calendar which is wonderful. For we have a calendar at home with pictures showing on what were doing each day. If its a 'Nana' day we draw a car, a school we draw a building, mommy day is a smiling face and the weekend it two smile faces for mommy and daddy. After long consideration, we decided to send the kids back to World Academy. They will start May 15th and Dominic has been very vocalized on how excited he is.
Dominic has always loved books and our library has a program where you can "Read 1,000 books before 1st Grade". I signed Dominic up and he has already read 350 books.
On a fun Happy Birthday note. We celebrated Corrine's 2nd Birthday. It was a day filled with games, laugher, and smiles.
