Grayson & Liam ~ Last Day of School

This year was very different from the years past, one we will never forget.  Grayson was able to say goodbye to his teachers at the end of the year at a special "goodbye" spot by school.  Liam's teachers did something similar, but all the kids had to stay in the car.  We took some pictures at home to remember the last day of school.  I also did a side-by-side of both boys from the first day of school compared to the last day of school.  They have both grown up so much in the last year.  Grayson will be moving on to 1st grade.  Liam will do preschool again with the same teachers as last year.  He missed half of the school year due to his broken leg and covid-19.  His teachers recommended we repeat preschool because he missed so much school and also because he was the youngest in the class.  The boys are very excited to go back to school next year.

Grayson & Liam ~ May Photos

Here are the May photos of the boys.  They have not loved e-learning, but luckily Marina (our au pair/nanny) has worked with them and done better than Mommy and Daddy.  Liam took a cute selfie photo so I had to share.  I had to take pictures of all of their school work to send to their teachers so I included the pictures here.   They both got their report cards from the previous grading period.  The boys had the best weekend (last weekend in May) with Gabe, their BFF.  We went to a local park and they found sticks used as swords, climbed trees, threw the frisbee and ran around having fun.  Grayson was student of the week May 26th.  He had fun presenting his special poster board of his favorite things and read his favorite book, The Wonky Donkey.  He has come so far with his reading mostly due to his tutor, but during the pandemic he took on a whole new liking to new books that I found such as Piggie and Elephant.  We have so much fun listening to him read books to us now.  He is definitely reading above his grade level and he's very proud (so are mommy and daddy!).     

Climbing Trees ~ Grayson & Liam

We went to a park in the area and the boys had the best time kicking the soccer ball, throwing the frisbee and climbing trees.  The boys have no fear and love climbing as high as they can in the trees.  Of course I remember my days climbing the trees, but as a mom, it definitely makes me crazy.  It was fun to watch them explore and they kept saying how it was the best day.  We definitely

have very adventurous boys.  We love watching these boys live their best lives and take advantage of all the fun things while staying at home.
