2020 - The Pandemic Year

 What a year it has been. On mommy's birthday March 13th, the schools decided to shut down for two weeks in order to control a global pandemic called COVID-19 that was making a lot of people sick.  Well two weeks turned into 6 months and you never went back to school the rest of first grade. 

Second grade has been a little bit of in-school and a little bit of online learning. The online learning is not that fun and I wish for you to get back to school as soon as possible. When you are in school, they make the kids wear masks and stay separated which is a little sad. It has been determined that kids are very safe in school from this virus, so I'm hopeful that you'll go back in January. But you have had a great attitude and have handled it very well. I'm very very proud of you.

Also, I haven't been to work since March either! I have been working from home this whole time which has been very hard but also given me a lot more time to see you and Benny. We haven't been able to do much or go to many places because a lot of them are closed, and I think we have all become a lot closer because of it. You and Benny are closer than ever and I hope it never changes. 

Right now, you're both pretty obsessed with poop and potty words. It's not too bad yet, but I just hope you don't say it in front of other people! It's every other word out of your mouths when you're home. 


We spent a lot of time inside, so I got you set up on a virtual bike riding game that I use! You really really like it and are really really good at it! I hope we always have a common interest in exercising together :)





We flew the kite for something to do outside because we spent so much time inside...



We did a lot of fires in the driveway because we wanted to get out of the house but it was so cold all spring!
