Bull Roast, Pool Time, and Silly Me

Mar 26 - We all got dressed all pretty today to go to Daddy's school event. It was a Bull Roast at Martin's Crosswinds. Even though it was kind of like an indoor picnic Daddy wanted us all looking presentable since he is a teacher at the school. We found Mr. Todd, Ms. Nicole and Noah pretty quickly after we got there. Noah has gotten a lot bigger since I met him at my birthday party. We sat and ate lunch. They had lots of good food. Daddy tried not to get my nice white collar shirt messed up but it was bound to happen.

After I ate I wanted to get down and walk around. Mommy followed me. There was so much to explore and so many people to say hi to. I walked every where including the dance floor, the bathrooms, up the stairs, and tried to get outside. Everyone thought I was so cute especially all the waitresses. When we finally left I was exhausted.

Later that evening Mommy could have sworn that I said doggie. Maybe I will say it again so she knows for sure.

Mar 27 - We woke up this morning with a little snow on the ground. Sadly, it melted before Daddy woke up at 10am. We hung around the house today. I played with my toys, we watched tv, and I shared my snacks with the dogs. It made me so happy to share with the doggies. As soon as they would take whatever from me I would run over to Mommy or Daddy and get more and then run back over to the dogs and feed them again. Mommy and Daddy started to catch on and stopped giving me snacks. :(

Mar 28 - Today Mommy and I watched more Dawson's Creek. Mommy recorded me playing in my crib after my nap. Then we got a little silly with the blow up beach ball. We finally did the dishes before Daddy got home from school. It was just one of those lazy days.

Mar 29 - Story time was all about babies. I listened to the librarians from the carpet in the middle of the room. I only like to sit in Mommy's lap for the last few minutes of story time for the last two songs. Today I did do something kind of cool. When it was time for Ms. Cynthia to bring out the egg shakers for If You're Happy And You Know It I actually ran over to her and grabbed an egg all by myself like some of the older kids do. Then when we were done I put it back in the basket all by myself too. And then ran over to Mommy to take her egg and put hers back in the basket too. Mommy was so proud of what a big boy I was.

After story time Eleanor, Sam, Noah, Caylee and I hung out for a little while. Eleanor took her first steps this week and did an encore performance for us so we could see her in action. Mr. Bryan said she will be chasing after me in no time. After the library Ms. Erin, Sam, Mommy and I went to IHOP. Sam and I sat next to each other talking and sharing snacks until our food came out. We both got the rootie jr. with strawberries on the side. I ate a lot and had some strawberry for desert. Yum.

Next Mommy and I went over to the Harrington House. Aidan didn't have school today so he and Gavin were playing in their room when we got there. The three of us ran around and played with toys until it was time for naps. Mommy held me tight in her arms and sung the days of the week song to me over and over until I fell asleep. But shortly after I fell asleep she tried to lay me down on the couch. BIG MISTAKE. I woke up screaming at her because now I was really tired and she messed it up. So we said goodbye and left. Mommy and I laughed at each other all the way home so I wouldn't fall back to sleep until I was in my own bed.

After my nap Daddy came and got me. He changed me and played with me while Mommy ran out to get me new swim trunks and food from the grocery store. It was good to get some Daddy time in. When Mommy got home she and Daddy laughed at me as I spent the rest of the evening entertaining myself by dragging my overalls around on the floor.

Mar 30 - Mommy had a doctor's appointment today so after breakfast she dropped me off at Ms. Erin's house. Sam was asleep when I got there so I played by myself until he woke up. Then the two of us followed Ms. Erin around while she started to get lunch ready. Mommy wasn't gone way too long. She said that she showed off my blog book at the doctor's office and everyone loved it.

We all had chicken tenders and mac n cheese for lunch. I didn't eat much. I wasn't in the mood to sit and eat. We hung out and played for a while. Then it was time to get home and take a nap.

After the nap I sat in my colorful toy bins...

tried to do headstands...

and rode on my car.

I was having trouble making it go so I got off, checked under the hood and pushed it the rest of the way.


Mommy showed me what the label maker does too.

Then I had dinner.

Mommy says I am one goofy kid.

Mar 31 - We went to the pool today. We hadn't been in a while so it was a special treat. We met Sam and Ms. Erin there. It took me a little while to get in but once I did I had a great time. I stood up in the shallow part by myself. I kicked and moved my arms while Mommy held me on my belly. But my favorite thing was to go down the slide. The purple slide is still my favorite. At first Mommy would walk me out of the water and up the stairs and then would sit down with me on her lap and we would go together. But I started to get the hang of it. After we went down she let me stand and walk out of the water but had to pick me up to go up the stairs. The next time I walked out of the water and over to the stairs and crawled up the stairs on my own. Soon, the only thing she was doing for me was putting me in her lap after she sat down on the slide. I was a big boy and we did this over and over again.

At one point, Mommy and I were over in the deeper part, you know, the 3ft water. She was showing me how she can put her mouth under water and blow bubbles. So she tried to get me to do it. She lowered me in till my mouth was underwater but my nose wasn't and then lift me up really quick. She was just trying to get me used to it. We did this a few times until I gave Mommy a little surprise. She lifted me up and I spit water at her. The lifeguard and Mommy started to laugh and Mommy said that it looked like I didn't that intentionally. I don't know what she is talking about. It was an accident. Hehe.

After all the fun in the water, and after Sam and I were all pruney and starting to turn blue from getting cold we decided to leave. Mommy and I went and showered off and then Mommy tried to open our locker. Oh no! She forgot the combination to the lock! She tried a bunch of times but couldn't remember it. She had to get a lifeguard to cut it off because our car keys, jackets, clothes, and shoes were in their. Mommy apologized to me over and over again for taking so long but it was ok. I didn't really mind. I was wrapped in a towel so I was cozy. After she got me dressed I hung out with Sam in the hallway while Mommy got dressed. We said goodbye and headed home.

Mommy knew I was tired but also knew I needed to eat. She stopped at Subway on the way home. I was already asleep when we pulled into the parking lot. She woke me up and took me inside. She got a sub for her and a kids meal for me. My meal comes with a small sub, chocolate milk, and a yogurt. She mistakenly gave me my yogurt to hold on to in the car. I tore into it and got strawberry yogurt on my jacket on the way home. Once we were home I sat in my chair and ate most of my sub and what was left of my yogurt. Mommy said she was impressed that I was eating my sub like a big boy. After that I went to sleep and slept for a while.

Daddy was home when I woke up. We played and hung out the rest of the evening.

Apr 1 - Mommy had orginially thought about taking me to Caps practice today but the weather said it was supposed to be rainy. She didn't want to risk me getting sick again so we stayed home. We watched tv and played with my green frog until it was time for my nap.
Daddy was home when I got up but he was really tired and wanted to take a nap. He has been working a lot recently and needs a break. Mommy thought this would be a great time to go visit Granddaddy and Grandmommy. So we hopped in the car and went to Granddaddy's school.

They were really happy to see us. I played in Granddaddy's classroom and walked around all the desks. Then I ran up and down the hall. Mommy played hide and seek with me which made me squeal with delight. Grandmommy drew me a funny face on a paper plate. She also gave me a couple of cars they had bought for me. They gave me a cupcake which I loved and let me play with their keys which is like my favorite thing in the world right now. Mommy got a phone call while we were there. She won the opportunity to go down to the ice at tomorrow's Caps game and get a game worn jersey by one of the players. She was super excited. We hung out for a few hours until I had to get home for dinner and my bath. They kissed me goodbye. We got home and Mommy told Daddy her good news. After a quick bath it was time for bed.
