Latin Fiesta

Yesterday, Mason and Max's pre-school, Spanish for Fun, held their annual Latin Fiesta. Max performed his first dance; he did better than some of his classmates:



For Mason, it was the last performance at this school, as he will graduate next month. He had been practicing and was very excited about the event. Unfortunately, there was a slight problem at the beginning of the dance -- the "hunter" was late, and the teachers asked Mason to fill in; then when the "hunter" arrived, they took the bow and arrows off of Mason and sent him back to his spot. As you can see, he did his part with a not-so-happy face... he wanted his chance in the spotlight. It was a difficult lesson to learn.

Artists at Work

I can too eat with a spoon!

Max wants to feed himself. Most of the time he will eat ONLY what he can put in his own mouth. He loves yogurt, and seemed to want to eat it himself, so I decided to let him try. The result... well, a little mess never hurt anyone, right?

Brotherly Love

Sir Mason

This past weekend we visited the North Carolina Renaissance Fair. Mason had the opportunity to meet "Queen Elizabeth" and be knighted as Sir Mason. First he had to listen to her give a speech on honesty, bravery, and chivalry. Then he knelt on one knee while she tapped him three times with a sword. We opted to wait 'till next year for Max's ceremony; he might have lost an ear if he wiggled too much.

First Haircut

On Friday, April 4, Max got his very first haircut. Grandma Fran and Grandpa Bob witnessed the event (and took photos, of course). Max did very well, squirming just a little and not crying at all. He looks much more like a big boy now. What do you think?
