Declan goes to School

Declan started school today. He is enrolled on Mondays and Wednesdays at Kids Learning Academy. I stayed with him for the first hour while they played in water and had their snack, and then I sneaked out while he was on the playground. The teachers said he did great, and only cried for a few minutes once he realized I was gone.  They nap on mats so I wasn't sure how that was gonna go over, but he slept for two hours. The teachers said he really enjoyed finger painting-maybe he will be an artist!

My First Haircut

We took the plunge! Today we took Declan to get his first haircut (we didn't let them take too much off, just out of his eyes and the sides & back cleaned up). We went to Cool Cuts in Hollywood where they specialize in children's haircuts. It was fantastic! The waiting area has a Thomas the Train table to play with along with books and videos, Declan played with the trains. When it was our turn, he chose to sit in the Ferrari. There was a video on for him of Disney's Cars, that he didn't pay much attention to but the owner was blowing bubbles for him which he really liked! It was such a great experience. He got a certificate, we saved a lock of hair and we bought natural curl calmer, his first hair product!

The Olympian

We started a class at My Gym once a week, they have all sorts of equipment to climb, bounce and hang from. By far one of the best classes around!

 

 

this Pouriage is just right

We've always let Declan play with spoons while he eats and now he is starting to feed himself a little...along with making a bit of a mess :-)

   

                                     

 Good times in the high chair...

After breakfast we took a dip in the pool.

Chase scores in the major league!

Declan's buddy Chase had his first birthday party on Sunday. It was a Yankee's Baseball theme and it was a grand slam. Declan enjoyed playing at the park.

Me and my buddies

We attempted the beach this morning, but the weather wasn't cooperating. We stayed and played under the gazebo for a while.
