We went to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico for our summer vacation this year.  We have a timeshare there at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach, an amazingly beautiful resort.  Our room had a huge balcony with our own Jacuzzi overlooking the ocean.  Grandma and Grandpa came with us this year, and it was so much fun!  You went swimming in all of the ‘big girl’ pools, and most of the time didn’t use your life jacket!  You are becoming such a good swimmer.  We went swimming every single day, went to the beach 2 days, and went on a boat tour of the bay.  It was such an amazing and fun trip!

Haris is boy that lives next door, and your current best friend!  He is 2 1/2 years old right now, and just learning to speak English (his family is from Pakistan and they speak Sindhi, Urdu & Hindi).  Over the past couple of months you two have become close and really enjoy playing with each other.  On the weekends, you always ask “Daddy can I go outside and scream for Haris?!?!”, to which I reply “yes of course” and then you go outside and literally scream “HARIS!!!!”.  He then comes outside and you guys play 🙂  Lately he has been coming over and you play in your room, or watch TV, and occasionally he eats dinner with us 🙂

You graduated Pre-school on Friday 6/30/2017!  You accomplished so much in your 3 years of preschool.  You are already reading at a 2nd/3rd grade level, doing math (addition, subtraction, fractions) and are the only kid in your class doing paperwork at your level.  You had so much fun at preschool, especially with your friends Kaylee, Sanvi, Luis, Ryan ‘Diddle’, Sasha, Jeremy, and many many others!  Here are some pictures from your special day 🙂

This is a typical car ride for us 🙂  Always having fun and making each other laugh.  Never a dull moment with you!

Last night, 11/19/16, at approximately 6:45pm PST, you, for the first time ever, admitted that you were sleepy!

Usually we get a vociferous denial of any such claims (“I’M NOT SLEEPY!!!”), but not last night!

🙂
