Reading above a 2nd Grade level, counting to 100 (was up to 20 or so in August before school started), recognizes all 99 sight words for the school year and catches on to new concepts very well (according to his teacher). Yeah, we often struggle to wake him up or get his teeth brushed but school is a win for him.

G at Pixar, originally uploaded by Omar G!.

We visited Pixar Studios yesterday. We had a chance to see a portion of the studios as well as plenty of concept art, storyboards and even a 40 minute screening of various PIxar Shorts.

Can I say how cool Gabriel was this year? He rocked the Vader outfit. He even stayed in character while trick or treating as he raised his hand and played the breathing sounds when he arrived at a doorstep. So cool.

We’ve all been Apple fellas since our respective Performas (remember those?).

From the day I spent assisting in Gabriel’s class. The day included pumpkin-centric activity, my reading of the The Pumpkin Circle and a walking field trip to a local community farm. Good fun!

Halloween 2009, originally uploaded by Omar G!.

We had a terrific Halloween as we ventured out in our Star Wars gear courtesy of Grandma G. It was especially nice as we made it around to see a number of friends and family during the day even well into the night.
