Whats Going On...the Coppolino Column: April 2012

Brayden's Best Bud's Bday

Brayden had a lot of fun at Jake's 2nd Birthday party. They are best buds from school, starting in the infant room together. We are told they are attached at the hip at school unlike most toddlers and have a very brotherly relationship where one minute they are hugging and the next they are beating each other up. Being the oldest in the toddler room they are also the ring leaders and find numerous way to cause trouble. They both are even going to be big brother's come the summer- how exciting!

One of the great things about my company is that they recognize the importance of family and family events. Brayden took part in this year's Children's Art Show. The art work is displayed in one of the buildings and then they hold an Opening Reception where they have treats and activities for the "artists."

Proud of his masterpiece!
