Catch Up

Okay, so I've been really lazy lately but now it's update time again. Timmy had his dental surgery on the 16th of February and it went really well but was very expensive for us. Insurance did not cover much, so for those of you out there with small kids make sure they go to the dentist every six months and get those teeth checked. In our case he has gone every six months since he was born and the dentist told us there is no one reason for the enamel to not form properly. He also said that all the brushing in the world would not have prevented this and because we caught it early enough and that by sealing his teeth we have hopefully prevented any future damage.

March started off with Jay Jay making Yellow belt in Karate. Great job Jay Jay.

For Spring break we went to Seattle and spent time at my mom and dad's. Jay Jay went to his first Lego club meeting at the Lego store in Bellevue Square mall and he loved it. They introduced the new Lego games, first you build them then you play them and that is what he lives for right now. So far we have Pirates Code and Monster 4. Pirates Code is a lot like Master Mind from the 80's. You make your code in your treasure box and the other players have to guess what it is turn by turn. Monster 4 is a lot like Tic-Tac-Toe except that you get to bump other players off with a big black spider or if you roll a multi-color side of the dice.
Next comes April and Jay Jay's second report card!!! He is doing very well in school and is above average in several of the testing categories. However, he does not like to color and needs improvement there and he doesn't really like homework either but does it because he likes to get his pizza coupon at the end of each month. He has homework almost every night and Mrs. Partridge sends home extra homework two nights a week. Wow, has Kindergarten changed or what????
We dyed Easter eggs and that was an experience...
Timmy dropped his in the cup of dye and it went everywhere and so we all laughed what else do you do...after all it's Timmy.
The Easter bunny was good to everyone and brought lots of fun things and some candy too. Easter was fun, we had it here in Seaside and my mom and dad came down here because Jay Jay had school the day after and I did not want him to miss any school if he did not have to. He likes it and I hope it stays that way. Plus the Easter Egg Hunt at Church was awesome.

Jay Jay went to the dentist and did extremely well this time. He let them take x-rays and use the suction tube and the Fluoride. This is a huge improvement from all the other visits so we are very proud of him. He also performed in the all school assembly and sang the Parts of Plants and hung up the stem to the plant they were making.
In other news, Timmy had a day at Pre-School to see how he would like it and did pretty good. His favorite parts were outside time and art, he also liked putting the puzzles together
Jay Jay also went to his second Lego Club meeting in Seattle. This time the theme was Disney's Prince of Persia, the sands of time. They put the kids in groups and gave them a bin of Legos and told them they had to help Prince Dastan find the hidden sword and their buildings had to have trap doors and other things. It was quite interesting what some of the kids came up with.
