Well, graduation day is almost here. We've mostly been getting ready for the party. Matt has his robe and tam, mostly de-wrinkled now. So, while "Pomp and Circumstance" is played we will be able to sing along the little known words, "My reindeer flies sideways. Your reindeer flies upside down. My reindeer is better. Your reindeer is dead." (Go on, sing it to the music. It really fits.)
The party is going to have a Mexican seaside theme. Gabe wants a sandcastle birthday cake and it's easy to make Mexican food for a crowd, so it just kind of came together that way. Gabe and I made a fish piñata and I made some tissue paper flowers to make things festive. The cake is going to be built with several cut cakes and the sand is created by crushing Nilla wafers. I also got chocolate seashells to decorate it. I hope it comes out as well as I imagine it.
Gabe is having trouble with the idea that he'll be in a new school next year. He'd be in a new one anyway since he's in a private preschool and he'd be going to Kindergarten in the fall, but it's not really working to get him to see the logic. He is still sad that he won't be with his friends. I don't think he really wants to move again, but he knows we are looking at houses and to him that means he's one step closer to getting a dog. He was looking at pictures online with me and deciding where the dog could sleep in each house. It was funny. I figure what ever helps at this point. I know we won't get a dog until we settle in, but if thinking about the dog makes him feel better about the whole thing, then he can help pick the best house for a dog.
Chi is doing well. Growing I think. Either that or the kid just has no grace at all. :) He is falling all the time. But he also realized that we check that he's okay so when he's mad he'll fall down on purpose and look to see if that got our attention. He can be very ornrey that way.
