A sweet surprise arrived for Miguelito today....a King Cake from Gambino's Bakery from his Uncle Bo and Aunt Laura. After tearing into the box with some help from Mommy, he helped to put the icing and purple, green and gold sugar on top of it. His favorite part was sticking his finger into the icing and licking it off the King Cake.

Yummy, the icing sure is good...

Wow, Mommy is really letting me eat all the sugar!

Yummy! Yummy!

And repeat...lick the sugar!

Eat the sugar!

Thanks, Uncle Bo and Aunt Laura, my first King Cake hit the spot!

No, REALLLLY, thank you! I love you and miss you!

Today was a big milestone for Miguelito...today was his first day of Mother's Day Out. He goes once a week from 9a-3p. There are no photos to document his first day because I did not know how it would go, and I did not want to cause a scene with the camera. Miguelito was clingy, but once Miss Jamie came to the door and said, "Good morning, Miguel. Let's go have a snack" he went on in the classroom. After dropping the paperwork at the office, I took a quick peek in his room and saw he was sitting at the table with his friends eating and he was fine, so I made my way to the door trying to hold back tears. Once I got to my car the tears started flowing. He was very happy to see me this afternoon at pick up time and came running to me. He then started blowing kisses to his teachers and saying, "bye, bye, bye." So, day one of MDO...a success!
