Thanks Uncle Phil, Aunt Heike, Owen and Audrey for the fun bathtub stuff. The boys obviously LOVE it. We are going to need to do some teaching about shaving, Carlos almost has it down, Levi is apparently going to shave his entire face and who knows what Trey has going on there.
Fun in the tub!

Kinda fun to do:

1. Go to Wikipedia and hit “Random article.” The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2. Go to quotationspage.com and hit “Random Quotes.” The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3. Go to Flickr and click on “Explore…” then click “Interesting photos from the last seven days.” The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4. Go to picnik.com and put it all together. (It’s a free photo editing website – no registration necessary).

Share it with me! 🙂

Now that Carlos is knee deep into learning to read, this old video of him “reading” Llama, Llama Red Pajama came to mind. It wasn’t that long again when our little guy was really a little guy!

I took my camera into the dojo yesterday before class started and had Carlos and Trey do a few of their techniques. I wish I could have captured it better, but this will have to do. I love photography!

So, aikido at The Island Art Center has been tops on the boy’s activities the past couple of months. Carlos and Trey finished up their class yesterday afternoon and Carlos asked if he could stay for a little bit and watch the next class. We had a little time to kill, so I agreed. It wasn’t a typical aikido class that follows their class, it’s an adult special needs class. The boys went through developmental preschool and are very accepting and compassionate toward others with special needs, but I gave them a little heads up before the class started. After watching a little while, Sensei Chris asked if the boys wanted to help out with the class. They jumped right in and really helped! They slowed down their bear walks and were very sweet in how they worked with these adults. It was truly inspirational. It was very touching to watch my 6 year old son, walking around the dojo holding hands with a gentle giant and new friend. They are looking forward to helping out every Thursday and I am so grateful for them to have this opportunity to shine!
