Several years ago my Grandma Alice passed away. This year, on the day of her passing, Dylan received her assignment for Culture Day at school. Her celebrated culture was to be Mexico and she her class was to have their Fiesta on April 30th. Well..... April 30th was my late Grandma's birthday.....she was also very proud of her Mexican heritage. She was a bilingual educator who celebrated and planned many Cinco De Mayo celebrations for her students. To say I was a bit emotional on the day of Dylan's Mexico Fiesta is an understatement. My Mom saved my Cinco De Mayo outfit I used to wear went I went with my Grandma to her school at age 5.....so Dylan was able to wear it for her celebration. My Mom and I both know Grandma Alice was dancing in heaven to the Mexican hat dance right along with Dylan Jo. It made me proud and also eager to look into and pass along that part of my heritage.
Jude enjoyed the celebration and danced along. He has been pretty sick this spring...we can not seem to get rid of these ear infections. He is not sleeping much at all...I am hoping to get a little sleep tonight! He has been such a snuggle bug though.....and he is getting soooooo big. There is not alot of "baby" left in his look. He is all boy...even when snuggled with daddy! Oh.....he has a new obsession...Elmo and Dinosaurs. We have an Elmo/Dino video.....it is a hit! :)
