Our son is in first grade this year and he’s doing great.  He got on the A honor roll this semester and we couldn’t be prouder.  We knew we wanted to reward him for a job well done but buying another toy or video game was not how we wanted to do it.  There are way too many toys in the house (can I get an amen if you have kids and know what I mean!!)  So, after thinking about it a bit we came up with “Diego Day”!  A day where he’d get to pick everything!  So, a few Saturday’s ago, our little man’s day began with his favorite cereal for breakfast, you know, the not-so-healthy-for-you sugary stuff we never buy!  After Jason read him a few stories, we got dressed and headed to Cafe Rio for a yummy lunch!  Then we went to the movies!  We saw Puss In Boots and even had theater all to ourselves!  It was great and the movie was pretty funny too

Right after the movie, we made our way to Red Rock Climbing Center!  His cousin Jared met us there and the boys had a great time.  Jared had been there before and is really good at rock climbing, so he was able to help him out. Us and everyone else there cheered and encouraged Diego to not give up and reach the top!  He was so psyched when he got up there, coming down was a bit scary for him, but he made it!

Lastly, we ended the night at his favorite restaurant, Buffalo Wild Wings!  I know, he’s a classy boy, right?

Was it a perfect day? No not really.  It was a long day and Elysse didn’t get a nap, so had a few tantrums and melt downs.  But we definitely had a good time together and made some fun memories as a family.  I think that’s what matters most, don’t you?
