Music Class Monkey's

During our final music class shabang, the hostess created a music wonderland. The kids got to sing Old MacDonald with little people farm animals and a barn. Then they had a chance to sing Twinkle Little Star with their own personal stars to twinkle. Finally, the kids moved into the "jungle" room and got masks to sing an Alligator Monkey song. Talia and Tiago loved the masks and especially loved the snapping action. When I can get Talia to preform on cue like a Monkey, I'll post Talia singing the monkey song.

Tiago had an enormous amount of energy to expend the other day. Whenever this happens, he starts making choices that are less than beneficial for everyone including himself. After all his options were presented to him, he came up with his own option. For over an hour Tiago was doing this "workout". I loved watching his facial expressions and how his mood would change when the music would stop:


Talia looks like she could definitely have a future in dancing as well.

Surf's Up

This past week Fernando had time off. With plans to improve our home, we opted to stay here. Fernando worked really hard to get the office up and running. He put up some new bookshelves and my favorite--a shoe shelf!
The kids worked hard on making these surf boards. Tiago used a hammer and pen to create his board while Mia relied on tape.
