Back at School!

After a refreshing break, today we made it back to school. Last night Daddy and I were convinced that Ben was sick. We had spent the day at the fun junction and for all the ball pit diving and sliding fun it seemed to be a bit of a germy place. (atleast boo had fun and dad won me a coupla bouncing balls playing skiball). I sent Dad out into the dark of night to get a new thermometer since ours was broken (there he came across a loose boxer that he had dreamed about the night before, but I digress). After we took his temp eight times and saw no fever and took his pulse 27 times to determine that there would be no cardiac arrest, he fell asleep. I thought how happy I was to be scared with alex instead of alone and how nice it is to share the scaries of being a parent with him. Suffice to say, after our antics, he slept more or less soundly and today we had a great day back at school.

We learned leche, "milk" and pan, "bread". Mrs. Hurtado was thrilled to hear Ben say "salte" before jumping into the circle. He impressed me with how well he worked with the thread cylinder since I thought it would be way too hard for him. he squeezed orange juice with the hand juicer saying "ahhh" after each sip. he was covered in ink by 11:30 AM which is always a great sign that fun was had. We ended our fun tonight with dragon tails "let's start a band" some free form dancing and several nice stories read by dad. he is having a hard time sleeping at night which is very hard on us..too much cuddling past few nights? Ahh may the sweet god of rest be generous and let our hard working boo get some rest...
