March fun

Pretending they are the rays (who were "going vertical" by "climbing" the walls
While grandma was here, we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium with SPL's cousins, "the trio": ACR, KAR, and EVR. This is one of my favorite photos: John and SPL imitating the rays who were pushing their noses up on the side of the tank. ACR had a blast touching the rays (yes, it's allowed) and standing in the wave exhibit. KAR had fun with Grandma @ the otter exhibit and SPL loved hangin' with the big kids.  My fave was the leafy sea dragon and always The Deep.  The sun also came out and John and SPL had fun on the deck swinging around. On 3/21 we celebrated SPL's friend MW's 5th birthday at her house.  Here is SPL with his birthday friend (middle) and other outdoor preschool buddy AE. And on Sunday we had friends SJ andRJ over for a morning playdate. And not to be forgotten, preschool had a transportation theme this month so SPL went on not 1, not 2, not 2, but FOUR fieldtrips: Light rail, bus, CalTrain and then via car to the youth production of Lilly and the Purple Plastic Purse.  Plus we celebrated St. Patrick's Day by making leprechaun potion and hearing tails from the leprechaun (as told by Teacher Tim). And I got to go to Mandarin class in Chun Hua's absence and loved hearing SPL talk with Teacher Jane and his friend GG. Amazing!  And SPL loved getting to see his buddy MR twice a week to play.  Not sure how we're going to manage when Chun Hua returns as this will definitely be  hard to make up. Remember if you can't see the photos, it is because many of them are protected on Flickr so either log in to Flickr or use the email I sent you earlier inviting you to see my photos (for my grandparents and John's grandparents). Phew!  It was a busy, but fun month!  Looking forward to having Chun Hua back. Thanks to all the folks who helped us while she was gone -- it was a team effort!
