Happy Birthday to my Dimple Cheek Boy. He woke up to birthday streamers, presents upon presents, and of course, his giant birthday donut. Micah is our talented, loving, smart, baby boy. He has an inner GPS and a knack in the kitchen. He is easily embarrassed if Jawsh or I are in his Zoom (this is how I know he is knocking on the door to his teenage years). We love him so.... what will this year bring???
Just because we're in a pandemic, it doesn't mean the boys have stopped their school projects. Noah was tasked to make a rollercoaster and he actually did it! It's definitely not a sight for your eyes but it is functional and the marble can also take the upside down loop successfully which showed Noah that kinetic energy, potential energy, gravity, and friction all work together. I was pretty impressed. Will Noah use this experience as an engineer???
Micah is knocking on the door to his teen years.... how is 12? This year, Micah wanted to celebrate with his friends and his cousins so he had two Zoom parties. Micah met with his friends and they played a Simpson trivia game where they unlocked their own mini briefcases to find a sprinkled donut, Simpson stickers, and candy, candy, and some more candy. Then Micah had another Zoom party where he played an escape room with his cousins. Afterwards they all ate Dominos pizza and had Korean strawberry cake together over Zoom in their respective houses. I thought it was really interesting because cousins from Chino Hills to Denver, were experiencing this all together. This is one nice thing about the pandemic... the boys are spending more time with their cousins which has been really nice. What will Noah want to do on his birthday???
LAUSD partnered with Fender to give students the opportunity to learn how to play music during the pandemic. Micah received an electric guitar and Noah received an acoustic guitar for FREE! The boys have music lessons twice a week and are learning how to play a new instrument. I am so thankful that they have this opportunity to learn and grow. What song will they learn how to play first???
