Spring Carnival and Training Wheels

A few weeks ago at Keenan's school he had a carnival for spring time complete with a school wide parade around the town. His whole school was dressed up as clowns and they walked around the neighborhood and ended with a party of crepes and games at school in the afternoon. It was really fun seeing Keenan with all his friends at school and see them interact with each other. He has done so well making friends, knowing everyone's name in his class, and is speaking more French all the time. He loves his teacher and picked her a bouquet of flowers the other day on the way to school as he apologized to me saying "Sorry, Mom, these are for Maitresse (the French word for preschool teacher)." He is learning a ton as well and knows what letter every person's name starts with as well and it is amazing to watch him grow. So, here is our little clown!!

At the end of the parade the preschool and the elementary school got together and burned Mr Winter to welcome in spring. It was a little comical to watch as some of the little kids screamed a little bit as it went up in flames and at the same time the bigger kids are chanting "He is dead! He is dead!"

The theme for the elementary school was recycling (I know, a little ironic that they burned a huge man made of recyclable materials at the end!) They all had to make their costumes at home and this guy was by far my favorite. It is hard to see every detail in the picture but he had a whole space suit of plastic bottles. So cool.

Keenan's other big news is that he took off his training wheels!! He randomly decided one day at lunch time that he wanted to try so we humored him thinking that it would take a while and he practiced the whole break, Craig took him to school like that, I brought him home and from them on he was a riding machine! So crazy that he is only 3 and it took him one day! I think I was like 8 and it took me around 5 years.


And because we don't want any little guys to be left out!! Elliot is also doing great :) He has fallen in love with balls and is inseparable. He even sleeps with one at night instead of a blankie or something. Crazy loon but incredibly cute none the less!!
