We spent a week in San Diego for our annual Summer vacation. We went to Sea World, the Zoo, the Air and Space Museum and the beach. The kids love the beach the best, but the Polar Bears at Sea World rank up there too! Luke acted like a polar bear swimming in the cool Pacific ocean while the wimpy ones (me) watched. He also loves playing in the sand, actually burrowing in and rolling around in it. Both boys got so covered in sand that at one point you wonder if it will ever all get washed off.
Luke's handwriting has really developed this year. He was never a kiddo to color or scribble anything. He just didn't have any motivation for it. Then he started to spend time with his white board and markers. We started seeing him string letters together like "M" and "Y" and "D" and double "L". We finally figured out he was writing Macy's, Dillards, Nordstrom's, and Sears! These written words were the stores at the mall where he goes often to ride the elevators and escalators that he is so enamored with. And when he doesn't have his white board, he will use his finger to write his words in the air, on the table, wherever. I might add that his great team at Chrysalis Academy had done wonders with Luke in teaching him to write as well as his awesome caregivers Cailtin and Danica (or in Luke-speak "Canica").
So the photo above is Luke at the beach writing the name "Abbie" in the sand. I caught the picture just as he was erasing it. Abbie is his teacher at his school who he asks for ALL the time.
