thanks-giving has arrived!

Hard to believe Halloween was already 10 days ago! At LPPP, Teachers Barbara and Jackie do their best to keep the month of November true to its origins and teach Alex about "The First People" (People of the Plains, Desert, and Forest) and about giving "thanks." This is the Thankful banner Alex made at school last week. Thanks to you, Alex!

Laguna Niguel fireworks were spectacular this year, but still a little too loud for our lil boy. Lil girl stayed home with Grandma to try to get her to sleep!

Promotion Day

Today was promotion day for Alexander's class at preschool. It was a happy sad day for everyone over the age of 5. Their teacher says a little bit about each child, returning or not, and this is what she said about Alexander.
