happy birthday mom!

happy birthday to the best mom in the world. I love you!

preschool evaluation

we had a parent teacher conference with his preschool class and it was in-ter-es-ting. the teacher is concerned that when they call his name, he doesn't respond, or when they ask all the kids to stand up, he's still sitting until someone specifically says his name. she is worried that he is not processing direction/instruction and wants us to get him evaluated. it's really stressful especially because as his parents, we know his personality and honestly don't feel there is a problem there other than a little bit of "spacecase-itis." the only thing we can do is get him evaluated to see if there is something there. it's frustrating and makes me want to change schools a little bit.

wore this everywhere for 2 days straight.

tae kwon do

ziggy's been attending taekwondo for about a month now. he goes twice a week and most of the time hates going. he's learning korean and battle skills. i personally like watching him do the sit ups. hahahaha

6 months

i've reached the 6 month mark. i feel huge but good.

new york, new york

we took mark's mom up to NYC for an overnight trip for her birthday. ziggy enjoyed it so much he didn't want to leave. he's definitely a city boy and prefers it to nature trips like yosemite. when we were heading home in the car, he looked at the skyline and said "goodbye new york, i'll miss you!"

first dentist

ziggy went to the dentist for the first time. we chose a pediatric office and i think it made our trip a success! the waiting room and office was a child's dream land and they technician was so good with ziggy. he can't wait to go back in july. some helpful tips they told us: brush in a circle, stand behind him rather than in front of him while brushing so the motion feels more natural, floss if the teeth are touching each other, don't ask them to open so wide since it's easier to brush the sides of his teeth when his mouth is relaxed, chocolate is better for your teeth than gummies and fruit snacks.
