New friend...

There's a new friend in the house! M4 was selected to bring home an African clawed frog. And I actually said yes. M4 transported it home but he wasn't interested in transferring it to its new home, so M3 took over:



Apparently, its name is Maxibo. Don't worry, we gave it some clean water.

Busy, busy!

Ack...sorry for not posting lately! Too busy, but feeling somewhat proud of myself for putting together this workshop at Studio Z in less than a week! I'm looking forward to it! What a cool opportunity that just popped up because his mom is a professor here! And I'm kinda getting the bug to arrange more workshops in the future. It's so cool that my friend Jenny has made this space where we can actually have these kinds of workshops!

On the kid news front, M and M took a tae kwon do class Monday night and LOVED it! They want to go back. I'm hoping it's something that will give M4 a bit more confidence. We shall see...

More after this workshop and my May yoga training weekend (this weekend) are done. Lots of family fun coming up in the next few weeks! Can't wait to see everybody Memorial Day weekend!

M4's spring concert was a couple weeks ago...here is one of his moments of glory:

Yeah, that's a box of doughnuts on the right

P.S. One was more honestly earned than the other, i.e. I was one of only two? entries.

The official show:



The unofficial show:

Zoiks!

Someone is getting a bit shaggy around here! Wait, I think he's past shaggy... We're going to get it trimmed and cleaned up a bit Monday, but he doesn't want it cut! In the strange-parenting-experience file, M4 sleep-walked (is that the past tense?? slept-walked??) last night. He often talks in his sleep, but he was yelling and he called out for M3 and his friend H, then came barreling into our room. I don't think he ever really woke up as I took him back to bed. I'm just glad he didn't barrel down the stairs!

This is a shot from the concert in all his shaggy glory. I'm not sure why he decided to tuck in his shirt? Y'know, the elastic waist bands aren't exactly flattering. I'll post a video soon!

Extraordinary boy...

M4 tonight: "Mom! Come see this! It's EXTRAORDINARY!"
