The Spiers' Delightful Journey: March 2021

After much back and forth, we decided to put Graysen in a small in home Pre-K group. We wanted him to have some away from the house and away from family time because he is still pretty attached to us and we are putting him in a full day program next year. We thought this would be a nice transition for him. He was reluctant at first but is falling into a rhythm nicely. I like it because like next year, it is only 1 day a week and it's a really small group. He still asks if he can skip most weeks but also asks each day when it will be Thursday. Once he gets there, he really does like it. We are proud of him!

Alivia celebrated her birthday on her actual birthday, December 31 with family and over a month later with friends. She had a wonderful time for both celebrations. She asked for an escape the room party with family and Ben created a really cool one around our house, including using Alexa as a clue! :) She wanted to go to Summit and have a painting party with her friends. We were able to do both for her and her 3 friends! :)

Here is what Ben came up with:
