Rough Day

After so much fun in Maryland (when I get organized, I'll post some photos and tell some stories), Kai had a bit of a tough time transitioning back to school again.

After the second day of being back, I picked him up and he didn't greet me in the way he greets me almost 100% of the time (smiling, hugging, cheering, and so happy to have been at school).

I asked him how school went and he said, "It's been a rough day." I asked why and he didn't say much. After we got in the car, I asked why he wasn't talking much (again, we usually both chit chat the whole way home) and he said, "I've used up all of my words today, Mama."

I just had to laugh.

I asked his teacher about how the day went and he said that indeed it was a rough day for most of the kids since they all had A LOT of energy (remember, it's been so cold here that they can't go outside and play). I guess Kai was the leader of the pack with running and yelling and chasing. His teacher wasn't surprised that he had run out of words....

Now, I can honestly say that I don't think I've EVER run out of words.....

Our boy likes to snuggle....

X-mas 2009

Captain Underpants!!! (My mom gave him the cape and he stole the goggles from the Santa Bear and whipped off all of his clothes to pronounce, "Captain Underpants!")

He is showing off the cool hat that Joey's friend, Leesa, gave him (Check them out at her company's website: www.pedoodles.com)

Well, we had a great Christmas and New Year!

Kai was so excited about Santa this year. He woke up on X-mas morning with a shriek, "Did Santa come?" and raced downstairs to investigate. I thought it was sweet that he was very concerned if Santa was going to bring us presents. He didn't want us to feel left out on all of the excitement.

And, in case you were worried, he did!!

We spent X-mas Eve with my Mom and Brother and then headed to my Dad and Kit's house on X-mas Day. Then, we were off to Maryland to see Joe's twin sister, Rosie, and her family....busy, busy, busy! And, so much fun!
