2010 Food Allergy Walk, Santa Monica

Once again we raised funds to support research towards a cure for Food Allergies and to raise awareness. 1 in 25 Americans suffer from this condition that can be life-threatening.


We made it back to the Goal Gate balloons!
We started a mile away from the Pier, reached it, then headed back from where we started for a total of 2 miles.

Happy 7th B-day C!

Uncle A, Aunty X and Obaachan gave C some nice gifts! He got a very large "Bumble Bee" Transformer and a "Cars" backpack!
Pancake Birthday Cake for now

We've been so busy that we'll be planning a party for him a month late!

Trial 2nd Grade

After a few weeks of not getting through, I finally received "C"s IQ test report. I copied it and handed a copy to the Principal and C's Teacher. The Principal approved my request to have "C" placed in 2nd Grade for a short time to assess how he will fare in 2nd Grade. C was very excited this morning when his 1st Grade Teacher handed me some documents, then told me, "Would you like to walk him to the 2nd Grade Class?" His face lit up like a 100 Christmas lights. Right before we opened the door to his 2nd Grade Classroom, I asked him what he thought. He very enthusiastically replied, "I'm excited about going to 2nd Grade!!" I told him to do his very best, and that after 2 weeks, the Student Study Team will assess his progress. If he does well, he will make the switch to 2nd. My only concern is, that all the other children are BIG compared to him. He's so tiny. I hope he will have a better time making friends. Wish him luck!

Big "Ah Ha!" moment this morning

"C" came up excitedly to me this morning. He tells me, "We are eating the Sun, mommy!" I asked him how and he says, "The plants suck in the Sun's energy and then we eat the plants!" I told him, that is exactly right! I asked him if he was taught that at school. He told me, "No, I just put it all together right now." He likes the BIG picture!
