Makai's 3rd year

Makai's 3rd year was full of changes, we were in our new house that we bought and absolutely loved it. He started pre-school, the neat thing was it was home base pre-school so his teacher Miss Melissa came to our house & taught him either in our dining room or outside if the weather was nice. He learned so much from her. He talked very clear; however struggled with just a few sounds... such as "K" & "S" because of that he did 4months of speech therapy in Fresno. His one on one Speech Pathologist was Miss Jessica and she was wonderful, she got him saying the sounds correctly just after a couple weeks but it did take a lot of practice at home each night before bed to perfect it too. He did his 12weeks one on one and did 4weeks of Group Speech, he had so much fun spending a couple hours with his teachers & friends while learning the correct pronunciation of specific letters. Makai was always the only kid that didn't cry each morning and all of the kids looked to Makai for motivation. He began actual full day pre-school here in Lemoore at LBJ behind Lemoore Elementary and even there he's practically the only kid that doesn't cry in the morning. He picks out the job he's going to do for the day, washes his hands, gives me a hug and sits down at the breakfast table while he waves bye to me as I walk out the classroom door. He is a very good boy and his teacher Mrs. Doreen raves about him.

Makai is so special he had two birthday parties his 3rd year. We had a big party for him at our house that was Mickey Mouse theme, he had an awesome pinata and got the coolest presents ever. Tons of our friends and a few family members joined us for this fun event & everyone enjoyed a Filipino Cuisine which is Makai's absolute favorite food. We also took him to Chuck E Cheese on the day of his actual birthday with his Nanny & Grandpa, we had pizza & cake, it was a mini party that was tons of fun. He played so many games and rode all the rides, but the thing he played on most was the picture machine and had so many pictures taken of himself on his birthday which he thought was awesome; he's my little model. Makai is an absolute joy to have around, he's such a clown (which is funny because I don't like clowns LOL) but he's so respectful and full of more then enough energy for all the kids around him :-)
