Easter Egg Hunt

After Gymnastics yesterday West Bloomfield held their annual Easter Egg Hunt at Drake Park.  We met Therese and the boys there.  Even though it was cold, we had a great time.  First, Enzo played on the playground.  After the playground, the Easter Bunnies arrived and the boys got their picture with both Easter Bunnies.  They even had a bounce house.  Enzo had a great time bouncing with his buddies Brady and Logan.  Lastly, he got to hunt for eggs.  It was a wonderful morning!

Nice family picture!

Gymnastics

Enzo started Gymnastics last weekend at Farmington Gymnastics.  Grandma Donna got him lessons for Christmas.  Thanks Grandma!  He absolutely loves going!  Daddy and I took him this weekend.  The kids did two obstacle courses, the balance beam and he got to jump on the trampoline.  He did great and had a blast!

Smart Boy

This past weekend, Enzo went to Granny and Papa's while I went out with the girls.   Kamryn, Riley and Granny had Enzo doing File Folder Games.  He loved them!  So, we brought a few games home.  They focus on matching several different things, counting, etc.

On Tuesday, I picked up Enzo at school and spoke to his teacher for a little while.  She told me that Enzo is very smart.  She said that he is further advanced than all of the kids in his class.  Ms. Amber told me that they did a writing exercise and he did very well.  The goal was to draw a straight line.  They have been working on tracing, coloring inside the lines and cutting with scissors.  I am so happy to hear that my boy is doing so well.

I was also digging through my teacher closet and found some flash cards that I thought Enzo would enjoy playing with.  We started with the number flash cards, numbers 1 - 100.  We had a wonderful time counting.  He learned how to say all of numbers up to 100.  He has done really well.   Last night, we started playing with Rhyming cards.  We also played with ABC cards.  He seemed to get bored with the ABC cards, I think because he knows them so well.

Tonight, Enzo blew me out of the water.  We were sitting at the dinner table and Enzo was telling me what month everyone was born in.  I said that Augie was born in August.  He said "Mama, Augie and August rhyme."  I was amazed.  When I was reading a bedtime story tonight he said to me "Mama, took and look rhyme."  I said you're right buddy.  Great job!  I am so proud of my smart cookie.

Monthly Picture

I always take Enzo's picture every month.  So, this is his monthly picture this month.  He is 2 Years 10 Months old!  Can you believe it?  I know I can't.

So Big!

Hi Mom

We had a good time!

Augie joined the fun!

My two goof balls!

Cars, Cars and More Cars

Enzo cannot get enough of his cars!  He loves them.  He plays with them non-stop, sleeps with them and takes them everywhere he goes.  He especially LOVES his cars from the movie Cars.  Enzo loves to line them up on the couch, the floor, on top of me, where ever he can.

This is how I found them Saturday morning.

Happy as a clam!

 

Mama's Birthday

The Sunday before my birthday Tony and Enzo made me a wonderful chocolate cake.  It was really yummy!  Thanks Daddy and Enzo.  Love you both!

Voila - Yes it is a face!

Yes, I just turned 21!

The Cat

My mom has the piece of art work that is known as "The Cat" by Enzo.  It is a metal sculpture that has been crafted into this wonderful cat.  As you can imagine, Enzo LOVES this cat.  It is just his height and light enough for him to carry around.  On a daily basis, he carried the cat around, gave it kisses and talked to it.  It was very cute!

Date Night

While in Florida, my mom and Tom watched Enzo for us so we could go out to dinner.  Tony and I had an enjoyable dinner and drive along Siesta Key.  It was nice to get away for the night and enjoy some time together.  Thanks Mom and Tom!  We really appreciate it.

Grandma Donna and Grandpa Tom

Enzo just loved playing with Grandma Donna while we were in Florida.  When we came home he kept asking if we could go back to Florida.  He kept saying I want to go back to Grandma Donna's house.  "Can we go see Grandma Donna?"  It was so cute!  He also enjoyed having daily conversations and playing with Grandpa Tom.  He went for daily "rides" on Grandpa Tom's Craftmatic Adjustable bed.  It was funny!  We had a really nice time in Florida.  Thanks Mom and Tom, we miss you both.

Aunt Marcia Visits

Unfortunately, when my Aunt Mary and Ron came for a visit in Florida my other Aunt, Aunt Marcia, was sick.  So, later in the week, when she was feeling better she drove down for a visit.  We sure had a nice time visiting with her.  Thanks for coming we had a great time!
