What's Lyric been doing?

oh the places you'll find Lyric...

Park time with Roro

hugs!!!!

craft time with Meme

Lyric has left the terrible 2's and has entered into the "threatening 3's". He really likes to test his boundaries and is becoming more independent each day. He's a great big brother, and helps whenever he can. From grabbing a wetwipe for me, holding a bottle, picking up a dropped pacifier or rocking Gael to sleep.

 In school, Lyric is doing well, and is learning so much. He has really picked up on spanish, and that has become his primary language. Although he understands everything in both languages, I think he feels more comfortable speaking spanish. 

Cuddle time with Gael

Not feeling so well....

Lyric's 3rd Birthday!

Wow! I can't believe 3 years have gone by already. For Lyric's birthday, he had a little party in his school with cupcakes and later we had a dinner at our house and cake with the family. Saturday Lyric had a party, 8 of his friends came to the party. He had a great time!

Sick Baby...

Lyric was sent home from school yesterday with a fever. The medicine works, but it has been 24 hours and it still keeps coming back after the medicine wears off. We're cuddling in bed watching Curious George today...good thing it's Saturday. 

New things today!

Today Lyric started his first day at his new preschool. I stayed with him for 2 hours and the last half hour he was alone. He did very well. He loved playing outside, and was very interested in the little farm they had with chickens and ducks and bunnies and a rooster. There are a total of 12 toddlers age 2 in his class. I think the adjustment will be a smooth one for him.

When we returned home from "Jardin de Moro" (his preschool) for lunch, we were suprised by the mailman who had Lyric's permanent resident card! So officially, Lyric is Argentino. (mommy is still waiting on her card...)

Happy Easter!

Lyric had a great time finding the eggs that the Easter Bunny hid! In Argentina, the tradition of coloring and hiding eggs does not exist. So I made sure that Lyric got to experience this still here. I hope to start a new tradition here! He also got a chocolate egg with candy inside and a chocolate bunny on a stick.

Also:

Lyric got to spend some time with his cousins (ages 3 months and 5 months) Saturday night. He is so attentive to the babies. He tried to help give them toys when they cried and pulled his chair next to them just to play with them. Seeing this, I know he will be such a good big brother!

Life in argentina

Lyric and I have been living in argentina since may 2011. Lyric goes to preschool and is learning and speaking Spanish. He is a very quiet and sweet boy! His favorite things are planes, trains, automobiles. He loves reading books (Goodnight Moon) and his favorite movies are Cars and Rio.
