So my baby boy turned 3 yesterday (the 26th). *sigh* I really can't believe it. He had a really good day, I think. Started with presents, got to play with a friend who was here for a couple hours, and ended with dinner at Carlos O'Kelly's and a walk/bike ride around the neighborhood, in unseasonably beautiful and amazing August weather. I'll tell you for sure the weather was NOT like this in August the year he was born. He, indeed, ended up with the 'lots of trucks' that he told people he was going to get for his birthday for a couple weeks before the birthday....a garbage truck, a tow truck, a couple 'big rigs', transportation puzzles...I think we had it covered. :) I really am going to try to get a picture of him at the mexican restaurant inserted in this post...we'll see....
Anyway, the big party on Saturday went just great. All the food went over well, great weather, lots of fun among the cousins....a big success. AND, as a bonus, since I did the boys' parties together, I don't have to do it again in a month!! WOOT!
We had two themes going on....trucks/constructcion and Wall E...
School is going great again this week so far. E keeps asking to do more!!! So, you know, we're about through all the assignments in history and reading (both the reading aloud by me and his reading) for the week....we'll keep going though. This is one of the prime reason's we wanted to try this -- so he can learn at his own pace. He's pretty well mastered addition +9 in math; tomorrow we'll do the +8 facts. His handwriting is the only area in which I'm not sure he's doing just stellar... it's not going badly really, just not great. It's obviously his least favorite thing to work on, but I'm sure that's not uncommon either.
P.S. Okay...just so you all know...I started this post last night, and had to come back to it this morning -- if any of you can tell me how to get this site to insert pictures where I want them after I've written text, please let me know before I lose my mind...

Happy Birthday, G!! I love the hat picture---that thing is twice the size of G!! :)
To insert pictures, all of mine go right to the top of my post and I have to cut/paste them to where I want to go. If you find a better way to do it, please let me know! :)
For pictures, if you look at the top of the box where you are typing your post, there should be two tabs--"Edit Html" and "Compose." Cutting and pasting is one way to do it in "Edit Html" mode. But if you are in "Compose" mode, you can just click on and drag your pictures pictures where you want them after you insert them.
