"I'll do it by myself, mom"

Javi never ceases to amaze me with how independent he is. Tonight, we
were at Souplantation (an all-you-can-eat soup and salad restaurant)
and he wanted to do everything by himself. He carried his own tray,
picked out all the veg he wanted, then ate it dry (much better than
me, I have to have dressing). He got all the fill ups of lemonade by
himself, soup, and even went to get some garlic bread for me and pizza
bread for Ethan. I was so impressed by his independence and maturity.
He chose to eat healthy, I didn't have to coax him. Javi just a couple
of years ago would only eat chicken nuggets, now he will choose an
apple over cake, salad over burritos, it's amazing how far he has come
and I am so proud of him!

First Art Class

My little rembrant! Javi had a good time at his art class.

Javi Hawk

We had fun with Javi's hairdo before taking him for a hair cut. He finally decided he wanted it cut. I thought it would be a good idea also, since STAR testing starts tomorrow and Javi tends to fidget with his hair when he gets nervous, more so when it's long. He looked pretty funny with all the spikes. He said they are not girl pony tails, they are cool mohawk pony tails.

We took him out to do tricks on his scooter, since he certainly looked the part. Enjoy the pics and the video!

I had a good day!

I have been in a little bit of a slump this week. I was kinda having a bad week, but today was a good day. I got one 4 and all the rest 5's on my behavior chart (5 is the max) at school today.

I have also been very helpful too. My mom hurt her ankle and it was my idea to go and make her an ice pack, just like she made for my lip. I went and made it all by myself with a baggie and ice from the ice maker. Superhero's help people, and I am a super, superhero.

Disney Pics

We went to Disneyland and California Adventure this week. We had a really great time. We rode so many rides and saw the Million Dreams Parade. Please click on the link below to see the pics from our trip.
