Back to School…

School was back in session this week and Victoria was ecstatic to be back, seeing her classmates and teachers. She is really doing excellent with school. Her English is progressing incredibly, she is becoming more conversational and is still such a curious little girl. Some of this week’s questions revolved around why the moon is different sizes at times, how pickles are made and when is Santa’s birthday. Fitting then that Victoria had a blast riding her Smart Cycle this week…one of her birthday presents which combines physical activity (riding a bike) with learning games (numbers, letters, etc.).

Victoria, Mommy and Daddy went to get our first official family portraits done this week. The photographer was great and absolutely adored Victoria! Victoria was excellent all day (even though our session was delayed by a ½ hour). She was so good, in fact, that we decided to take her to the Build-a-Bear store as a treat. Victoria picked out a cute, beige bear and decided that he should be dressed in a Yankees uniform. When she was had to choose a name for the bear’s birth certificate (yup, they get those), she chose “Jeter”…a very fitting name! On the way out of the mall, we sighted where they have Santa’s chair set up. Victoria’s eyes lit up with excitement because she cannot wait to talk with Santa. Soon enough sweetie…soon enough…

Here are some pictures from the week…
