All About Alex

Alex continues to keep us on our toes. The kid is a mess. He is very charming, sweet, inquisitive, stubborn at times, and darn cute. He is definetly my "wild child." Alex really goes by his own rules. He thinks that everyone he meets, if even for only 5 minutes at the ball park, is his new best friend. This fall, when he starts Kindergarten, I am going to be sitting on the edge of my seat. I am already preparing myself for a phone call from the principal. Then again maybe he will continue to surprise me and calm down and Kindergarten will be a great place where he will learn that the rules actually do apply to everyone, including himself.

This spring was our first season of baseball. Again, not the most exciting game to watch, except for the minute that your kid is up to bat. Alex did great! He actually fielded some balls well and got some outs at third base and the kid can hit! He asked us after one of his hits if we saw him "smoke the ball!" Always a laugh with Alex.

Currently we are still trying to master riding a bike. I think he could do it if he really tried. This spring, he had a bike day at school.

I just realized that he has the same outfit on in this picture. I am not sure, but it might be that this was actually the same day OR not. He LOVES this shirt as well as several other Disney shirts. I couldn't get him to wear anything other than blue jeans and Disney shirts this spring it seemed like. So here he is trying to skate at skate night for Marisa's school. He kindof wasn't sure what to think of this. Finally, I got him to make a lap with me. He plans on giving it another try at Marisa's party in a few weeks.

As I mentioned, Alex will be starting Kindergarten in the fall. A week ago, he had Pre-K graduation,. He led in the singing of "God Bless America" and did a great job. In fact he did so well he likes to sing this song ALL the time. Carlos and I are getting a little tired of hearing it now.

This summer will hopefully be a time where we will be able to get outside and let Alex exert energy and be a little boy! Since we are still in the condo, it is hard to get out as much as I would like or as much as I know they need to be outside being kids. We go over to mom's some and throw and hit baseballs and ride bikes. Like Marisa and myself, he can not wait to go to Destin. He asks all the time if it is time to go. I told him the other day that we had less than 2 months, and he said "Oh that's not long at all!" I won't be suprised when he asks me tomorrow if today is the day to go to Florida. As i said, very inquisitive and always asking questions, that's my Alex!
