Toy Story 3

....ROCKED!!!  Gio's a MAJOR fan of TS 1 & 2  (remember his 3rd birthday party or ever seen his room???) and he made sure his baby brother was fully indoctrinated (watching TS1 in the car every time we're in there and TS2 at home whenever possible).  No surprise, he just HAD to see Toy Story 3 today.  Gio didn't dress as Woody and I didn't dress as Jessie this time, but he did bring his Woody & Bullseye dolls with him.  The plot was imaginative, there were enough perilous adventures to hold your breath for and the animation was GORGEOUS.  There were some pretty hilarious moments (be sure to keep your eye on Ken) and, honestly, I never do this, but I CRIED (didn't see that one coming, did you?)!  The first thing Gio said to me when it was over was "I just want to see Toy Story 3 again, Mommy!"  Who's up for going next week?

The Mind of My Gio....

(At the dentist a couple of weeks ago)

Gio:  Knock knock!
Me:  Who's there?
Gio:  Shark!
Me:  Shark who?
Gio:  Banana Head!!!

We're So Terrific:

We Must Be Toros!!  

That's right:  I'm heading back to Cal State Dominguez Hills!!  I still have one more class to take in the Fall before I can apply to any nursing schools.  Then there's the whole waiting-to-get-in time. SO, in the mean time, I'm heading back to CSUDH.  WOO-HOO!!  Wish me luck!

Because.....

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

XOXO,

The Mind of My Gio....

Giovanni's in a bilingual preschool...sort of.  Due to demographics (I assume), the teacher covers everything in English and Spanish, which I think is great.  However, it took Gio a few weeks to understand that the teacher was speaking another language.  Every time I'd ask him what he did in school that day he'd reply with (while dancing and wobbling his head around), "S-bah, s-bah, s-bah, s-bah, s-bah."  I knew he had caught on a few weeks into the semester when he told his Uncle Matt, "My brother doesn't speak English."

Kickin' it off right

OK, I admit it, I'm a nerd.  Not even just kindda.  Seriously, this semester I have the absolute pleasure of taking Human Physiology - woo-hoo!!  I cannot even tell you how excited I am to take a class where I get to do experiments in a lab and everything.  FINALLY!!  :)
