Dolphin Birthdays!!!
We have had some exciting happenings around the Dolphin class. Our little man Francisco has turned one, his birthday party was a big hit! On Friday his mom and auntie came into the class and shared a delicious cake and goodie bags for all of the babies. We anxiously await the photos and will post them right away. Is there anything cuter than a baby smeared with icing?
We have also had a promotion. Sweet Ford is a Monkey now! They grow too fast. It has been so wonderful for us to see him develop and grow from his tiny (Ford tiny that is) little three month self into a big, fun, toddeling one year old. His big day is this Thursday.
Happy Birthday Boys!
