Rebecca's Graduation

Rebecca has officially graduated to the toddler nursery at church :) Today was her first try. She did great! We handed her off, they set her down and she never looked back. She was off and running and wanting to see what the other kids were doing. She'll get a lot more interaction with other kids in the toddler nursery. We're excited for that.

Justin came home from his week in Washington DC yesterday. We were very excited to have him back! Rebecca has been loving playing with Daddy again. And she loves the bear he brought home for her :) Justin had a great trip. He really enjoyed his class, sight seeing, and meeting lots of people. He was also able to spend time Friday evening with his cousin Walt.





Last Friday Mary and Rebecca went to the MSU Children's Garden with Aunt Sara, Carson and Grandpa and Grandma Holleboom. We had a great time walking around the garden. Rebecca was fascinated with the sheep statue. She was "baa-ing" the whole time :) We didn't have our camera, but Aunt Sara has pictures up on her blog if you're interested. Holleboom Family Blog. Go to the Our Photo Albums Link on the side. Or try this link: msu photos
Tomorrow we will be spending the holiday at home. Uncle Kevin is going to stop by in the morning. He hasn't seen Rebecca since Christmas, so he'll be in for a surprise :)

This Saturday we are meeting the Hollebooms at Potter Park Zoo in Lansing. We'll visit the zoo and then have a picnic at the park.
As usual Rebecca amazes us every day with the things she learns. She now says "amen" when it's time to eat and before bed. She even says it sometimes when Mommy and Daddy have been at the table for a while...meaning she's ready for us to be done :) Rebecca has also started saying "all done" when she's done eating or when she wants you to be done with something...like changing her diaper. Rebecca is starting to use her playhouse more. If you ask about her house she'll say "ding dong." And when she's inside she says "hot" because there is a picture of a thermometer. We still spend a lot of timing reading every day. Mary and Rebecca need to make a trip to the library soon to get some new books. Hopefully we can get out and enjoy the nice weather this week. Rebecca has had some rough sleeping this week. Time to check for teeth again. We'll keep you posted :P
