So, we had a pretty good week this week. I missed school on Monday because Safi had to go to the doctor. He said her spots were Roseola and she needed one more day to not be contagious. Since we were both having a day off mom took us for an impromptu park day at the purple slide. Plaza park is the one with the geese. I saw this huge white one and HAD to feed it. Well, that guy was one demanding customer. He ate the treats I had then chased us. Safi tried to let him know that we didn't have any more food and he tasted HER! Luckily he only got her pants, and we all had a good laugh...but we were done with the geese for the day!

Heather, our BIA, has been sick all week so I went to school on my own on Tuesday. It went ok, I'm still getting used to the new kids and there were even more new ones this week. Safi was really uncomfortable because one the kid's baby brother kept invading her space. She told mom she was a little afraid and teacher Susan took her and mom into another room. Teacher Susan is getting all of my levels together for my exit meeting. Come April 23, I'm 3 and I'm outta there. No more Early Intervention! On to big girl school and stuff like that. I hope its not scary.

Safi had a great week at school. Lot's of fun with the classroom circus theme. She got to make a tiger, is learning all of her friends' last names, and even wrote our last name in her tiger art project! Very cool.

It was super hot in the middle of the week so mom pulled out our pool and we got new Spongebob swimsuits. They are so awesome! We also brought out the bounce house and played with the kids next door. Mom did the mid-week drop off for the consignment sale and we got to hang out alone with dad...always a good time! We got to hang out with our friends the Shooks. Sebastian was feeling better and we had a really fun time. On Saturday we got a new gardener, a high school kid a couple of houses down. He has twin sisters that are 10 and they came to play with us while he worked. They're so fun and nice, we just love them. They brought a book for us to read and they helped us do big kid stuff on our swing set. After nap mom and dad made one of our pools into sandbox. Sunday rained and we got to go to the arcade! It was awesome and we got tons of tickets that we traded in for ring pops, lizards, a whoopee cushion, and a ring. I even got to play with a little boy and his big brother. It was kinda scary but kinda cool, too.

Big excitement...mom signed Safi up for special needs AYSO soccer. It starts in August and she's hoping Safi will love it. Maybe I can be a water girl or assistant coach because I'm too young to play. Her team will practice once a week and play 8 Saturday games. If they have enough kids they'll play against each other otherwise they'll play against the regular AYSO teams in 40 minute games. When mom got back from registration she went on the patio and cried...I'm not sure why. Maybe she'll tell you about it next month when she takes over the blog...'cuz we all know she's going to!

So, yeah, next month is Autism Awareness month. April second is World Autism Awareness Day. We want you all to celebrate with us and show your support for the autism community by lighting it up blue. You can read all about the Light it up Blue campaign by clicking on this link:

Well, that's about all we have going on here. Next week is our last week of school before Spring break. Before you know it the Easter bunny will be hopping its way to our house and Safi will be turning 5! Exciting things to come! Have a great week!

Peace
