Sebastian’s Pre-K3 Graduation

 

The last week of May, Sebastian had a little end of year program.  It was adorable and I’m so glad I was able to go!

Luca slept in the sling throughout the whole program.  They processed in singing “This little light of mine” and then sang a bunch more adorable songs.

We love how he practically knocks out his classmates next to him during this rendition of the “Itsy bitsy spider.”

On his way out, he smiled and waved at me!  =)

So excited to get his own photo album of school memories from his teachers.

New England Aquarium in Boston

Saturday we tackled the aquarium. It was a fun day!

Matteo with the penguins.

Could never get everyone to look for a picture.

Not quite as big as a shark...

Matteo enjoyed his snack watching the seals.

Attention span was like 5 seconds per tank...

Holding hands in the stroller...so sweet!

View from the top of the awesome, enormous tank!

Sea turtle, one of Sebastian's favorites. He also loved the sea horses, octopus, sharks and starfish.

At the end we did the penny press machine, which Sebastian thought was super cool.

As you can tell, he loved his special souvenir!

Our week at home...

This week we were home. As usual.... We really are staying pretty busy, but I sure miss going out every morning as I've always done so it's an adjustment.

Last weekend, we actually visited a playground because it was in the 40s! Sebastian was beyond thrilled, poor kid...

This week we also started our weekly activities plan. It went really well and Sebastian enjoyed most of the things we did. Here he is hiding some toys in a macaroni bin.

We made some new Seasame Street characters for his Elmo and Zoe play kit. This thing is awesome, it really keeps him entertained and has sparked a lot more pretend play for him.

Matteo gnawing on a whole apple.

Beautiful afternoon after a fresh snow. This is the view from one of our windows.

Paul thinks this video is hilarious. Matteo "dances" like this all the time...

We smashed different kinds of berries to make juice and then used the juice to paint some creations.

Matteo even tried some juice for the first time this week and he loved it.

Sebastian hiding during "hide and seek."

We cut out pictures of fruit from magazines and made fruit letter cards. Sebastian loved this activity.

Mami got brave and suited up the boys to play in the snow on our balcony. Matteo even tried to crawl in the snow!
