Tufted Puffin

After lots of contemplation and discussion, Owen started full days at Sunny Hollow after spring break. He absolutely loves it and talks about school now more than ever. On Monday he came home and immediately got his bird watching kit out after school. He then climbed up a tree with all his gear and watched for birds. Yesterday, he brought his bird field guide to school and he and a friend compared field guides and drew birds from their books. The guide is still in his locker at school as he used it again today and plans on doing it again tomorrow. I asked him which was his favorite and he said today's favorite was the 'Tufted Puffin.' I am anxious to see all the drawings he's doing. He told me he is compiling them and plans on making a book out of them. Gina (his teacher) said there was a group of 5 children and their field guides drawing and working together this afternoon. They would try and find the same bird and then figure out how many eggs the bird typically lays, the habitat it lives in and what they like to eat. For this reason, and many, many others, I love Sunny Hollow.

I turned 29 for the 6th time on Monday. The boys treated me well with very little bickering or whining and lots of hugs and kisses. Jer made delicious fajitas and Kindi brought over an amazing cake...that the boys enjoyed helping blow out the candles on.
