School Days, School Days

Oscar's teachers are always taking photos at school. They print some of them, cut them out, and leave them in your child's box for you to bring home. Here are some of the photos which show all the fun Oscar has at the Children's Learning Center. (Sorry they are not the best quality, but they are scans of photos printed on regular copy paper.)

Postmaster Oscar

Part of being two is learning you do not need those pesky "parents" as much as you did when you were one. Oscar's favorite phrases now that he is two are:

"Oscar read it" (because a two year old does not need books read to him)

"Oscar's turn" (which is always)

"Oscar do it" (when the other two phrases do not apply)

The last phrase pretty much is used for everything mom and dad use to do like check the mail. "Oscar check the mail." He is a pretty good little mail checker except for two small problems:

You have to be very careful he does not push the mail back to the post office side of your box.

He thinks our key open all 6000 mailboxes in the post office and wants to try everyone of them since he does not believe you that the our key only opens our box.

Oscar Rides the START Bus

Oscar loves buses and he loves to count them every morning on the way to his school. Last weekend we thought it would be fun to take him on a bus ride on our local START buses. These our the town's public buses and they are free in the town city limits. These are also not your average city buses. I realize some people, depending on where you live, might be thinking we are crazy to bring our toddler on the city bus. These are not those buses, these are the buses you wish those buses were so you could take them if you wanted to and not be scared to death. Oscar loved it and maybe we will start taking the bus more. It is free and most of the buses are hybrids, so it is great for Oscar and the environment.

Happy 2011 !

We all hope that you have a great 2011 full of love, laughter, joy, and lots of memories!

Love-

Jessica, Chris, Oscar, & George

Happy Jauberry Christmas

Our Christmas plans this year were to have dinner at the Gotham's, but those plans went awry when Parker got ill on Christmas Eve. Poor baby! So after Saturday night mass, Chris and I had to make a last minute run to the grocery store so we could have Christmas dinner. On Christmas morning we had cinnamon rolls and unwrapped our presents. Oscar was excited about his Mater movie, Cars pajamas, and bike trailer among other presents. We went sledding later on and watched A Christmas Story and of course the Mater movie about eight times. We had a great dinner of ribeyes, green beans, and potatoes. Not necessarily a traditional Christmas dinner, but very yummy just the same. It was a great Christmas with my two favorite people.
