Room Remodeled!

Arya's room needed a makeover.

He still had a lot of his stuff from yes I dare say it "Kindergarden." And frankly, for a 3rd grader, I just didn't think that was fitting for his development. Soooo, we decided to redo it a little bit.

BEFORE Side wall

Before, there was no room for clothes at all. His little closet and the dresser was all that we had. And the toys were stuffed in the little bins made for baby toys. So I moved his shoes and night stands into the closet with added lighting thanks to Kami. And The closet was nice and clean (it was pretty bad before, I don't have a pic).

We got some storage closets from Ikea and also cubes from Lowes, and re-organized everything. This gave us more storage and gave the place a face lift I guess you could say :)

AFTER: Closet area with lego shelf

Mashallah, this year begins with a new nice teacher Mrs. Jansson. And it is in the portables area (in the back) where the AC is good!

A lot of his old buddies were in his class. And some were in Mrs. Chi's class and Mrs. Wagoner's class.

They got to play together at recess :)
The only sad news was his friend since kindergarten (Sophie) got moved to another school to be with her teacher mom. But since we are good friends we will see them still here and there.

We had some fun the week later and got to go to old sacramento and shop a little bit and go see the movie Nine Lives. It was pretty funny. I laughed :)

So, Arya's new friend that he's been playing with is James. He's a little bit crazay! But I think Arya likes that :) It seems like he's into the same things as Arya (Minecraft & RoBlox) and he likes gaming/programming. Nerds rule!!! :)

First time at the Dentist!

Today was Arya's first ever appointment at the dentist!

We decided to choose the Folsom location called "Make a Smile". The inside was very cute and Arya loved it.

Arya had no cavities and his teeth were perfect.Thank God. He got to watch tv on the ceiling while the hygienist checked out his teeth.

No extractions needed on his baby teeth, he is just a little behind. By the X-rays we saw that they were just behind his teeth and almost ready to come out.

Hang in there my sweet boy, they will come out soon. I know how badly you wish they would.
