bedtime story with Harold

Harold and the Purple Crayon is one of Alexander's newest favorite character. The adventures Harold goes on with his purple crayon, from animals, animals, animals to the giant garden are so much fun! Mommy especially likes that Harold always returns to his room just by finding the moon and drawing his window around it.

6 weeks

time flies. and just like that, 6 weeks are up. today dina returned to work and alexander and i stayed home together alone for the first time. it sounds ominous but it's not. dina works like 5 minutes from our house so if something dramatic happened she could be home quickly. this closeness also allowed her to come home for lunch, easing her separation from the boy. so what we viewed with a bit of trepidation last night, seems to have passed relatively easily.

i know it won't always be such a perfect day - he's still sleeping a lot - but i'm happy today went well.

next up... kindergarten!
