St Patrick's Day

School is back!! After many months at home with distance learning, school is open.  The weather is also getting nicer now.  We recently had school conferences and an annual check-up.  Your reading teachers love having you - you write very creative and descriptive stories.  Your Chinese teacher also enjoys having you in class.  You don't love homework but when you do it, you're really good!  Advanced math is easy for you, so is English and Chinese.  Learning comes very easy for you.

Explorers time means hanging out with your bud Andrew.  You guys go way back to pre-k summer explorers! I still remember the first day of Kinder when Andrew gave you a big hug.  You guys are also in soccer together.  It's awesome to see you love the game.  We can't watch yet but you scored a goal in each game!!  Karate is back too, you really enjoy it with your brother.  Great to see things pick back up to normalcy.  

Favorite things to do:  battle outside, fortnite, overwatch, play with friends, board games, soccer and swim

Favorite foods: Sprite, Dang root beer, pretzels, butter noodles, frozen pizza, rice, seaweed, fruit, cukes, potato chips, egg whites, sesame chicken, bacon, shu mai, king crab 

COVID vaccines are rapidly administered.  You might even get yours in the fall!  Travel is still not back fully yet but we are starting to plan Summer and Fall trips :)   Right on track for annual check-up:  March 18th, 2021  79lbs (68%) and 53.5" (31%)  


Spring is here!!

2021 Ben is TEN!!!

I cannot believe my Beni is 10!!!! What has happened?  I have a big boy now.  Where did the time go?  Happy New Year and Happy Birthday Beni Berger!  Now that you are 10 and in 4th grade, I can really see your personality shine through. You have a mind of your own, excellent with words and expressing your thoughts.  It's like a window into grown-up Beni.  What I love is that you are still very innocent and love to play with your brother.  You sneak around to stay up later :)

Happy Birthday Beni!! I love you so much :)


Some things never change like Thin Mint pics over the years

10th birthday cake request - Pokemon ball w toys inside 

With the pandemic, we are still having small pod playdates, no big birthday party.  We had a day with Andrew and a day with Cooper and his sister.  There were three cakes to celebrate each birthday play date!
