Patrick has started an new school year, this one in a “real” school: Connerton Elementary.

He was waiting for the first day of school with great anticipation, but the most exciting part was the first bus ride.

All his friends had fun too and everyone was thrilled to see the new school.

Here are the pictures:  First Day of School and the video:

It’s hard to believe that it’s been three years when Patrick started attending Hand In Hand Academy. Today, he graduated from the VPK program, and we are all very happy.

Another school year is ending at Hand In Hand Academy!!!

Time flies so fast, and it’s hard to believe that it’s has been three years for Patrick at Hand In Hand Academy.

But it is time to move on to learn new and exciting things, and to get to know new friends.

Here is the final performance: The Mexican Fiesta!!!

What a day!!!It’s the first time Patrick went out on a bike without his training wheels, and it was a success!!! Starting up is still a bit of a challenge, but otherwise it’s a great beginning. At the end, we even hit a BMX track.

During our recent trip to New York, we visited the American Museum of Natural History. Patrick was interested in meteorites (thanks the the “Meteorite Hunters” TV show), dinosaurs (of course), and the Hall of Human Origins (all the bones and skeletons… it’s like a Halloween show!!!). We also went to see the planetarium show, which was a big hit.

Here are two video postcards we made:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2010 to all!!!
