OK, so I really don't have a good excuse, but I was pretty sure the weekly thing wouldn't happen. Anyways, life is busy-as usual. School started on the 25th of August and I have 28 students in my class this year. It's really different compared to my 19 I had most of last year. They are really cute though. I do love teaching third graders. I would include a picture, but I think it is illegal or something....This is a picture of Curt and his cousin Lini reading a book together. Curt loves reading time. He will go get a book and bring it over and then back up until he is placed in my lap...
Curt has been so adorable lately. He waves bye-bye to everything and everyone. Before he goes to bed at night he waves bye-bye to the fish, Jackie and anything else that is close to living. He knows and uses the signs for all done, more, sorry(it's not correct, but it works), and he folds his arms to pray by bringing his fists up to his chin. When I tell him to fold his arms for a prayer, he will start to say his own little prayer which I'm sure only Heavenly Father can understand. It's really sweet.
He has also taken up cleaning lately. He found the broom and dust pan and got really excited. He started sweeping the floor and then he would grab the dust pan and scrape it along the floor. It is really amazing to me what he learns. He is totally a little sponge.
We go on walks with Eli and Helena and here is Curt patiently or impatiently waiting for me to start the walk. Then after the walk he showed Eli the really cool balloon he got on our anniversary. Miguel told me he bought flowers for me, but the balloon was for Curt.
This is Curt playing with his favorite new toy. His dad put together this car track with a gas station and ticket counter.
To sum it all up, life is great for us, busy, but great. Curt is the cutest person I have ever met. It makes me sad to leave him in the morning to go to work. Especially now that he will come out and wave at me and want a few more hugs before I go. I think this is my favorite age of Curt so far. He is just so much fun to watch and be around. Today we went to a barbeque with Miguel's friend and some cats wandered into his house and Curt was in heaven. We spent the evening chasing the cats, one at a cricket while we were following it, the
other climbed a tree. There were dandilions in the yard that were big and white and seedy. I taught Curt how to blow the seeds to make more dandylions, I think he may have actually put the dandylion in his mouth before he blew, but it was a learning experience for both of us.I will attempt to update this blog more often-notice how there are no promises, but I will do my best. Love you all!
