Here We Go Again!

Well, another school year has begun. I survived my first week in a new district, new school, and new grade. All in all it went pretty well...but I am EXHAUSTED. I am so glad I had a helper to set up my classroom for the first week.

 Luca has settled in really well at his new daycare and we really like it there so far. He seems really happy, and I am so glad he is so easy going and social. He just goes with the flow. It's so funny though, his little personality is totally coming out even more now that we have entered the toddler phase. I always knew he was demanding and stubborn (the kid knows what he wants and he better get it rightthisverysecond), but now he comes home with reports from daycare about "demanding" things from his teacher. She says it's the cutest thing. Hardy har har. I am not so sure it will be cute in another year or two. Something tells me we are in trouble with our little firecracker.
Oh yeah, and how could I forget...he is WALKING!!!!!! He took his first official steps a few weeks ago for Santi and I, but then he wouldn't do it anymore. He wanted to drag us all over the house by our fingers (and throw fits if we wouldn't walk with him where he wanted to go), but he just wouldn't do it on his own. This week at daycare when I arrived to pick him up, he actually walked from his teacher to me. It was the most precious sight! Then, tonight he and I had a mommy and Luca "date" night since Santi went to see a movie with his work buddy. He actually toddled across the living room for the first time! He is still pretty hesitant, but he can totally do it! He gets so excited too. It's so cute. He wants to take off running though, and he gets frustrated that he can't go as fast as he wants, so he grabs my hand and pulls me along.


So, totally random side note, Google+ rocks my socks now that I finally "get" how to use it. And if my phone wasn't so crappy it would rock even more  (it keeps deleting random photos...which is super annoying). I finally downloaded the app and figured out how to send all the photos from my phone to Google+, which now has my favorite photo editing tool, and since it's connected to blogger as well I can upload photos directly to the blog and edit them all in one place!!!! IT'S AWESOME! Here. I was playing around with it.
