Big Helper

Today I read books and sang songs with my friends. I helped the boys build towers with the legos and I was a big helper when it came time to clean up. Ms. Becky tried to help me paint fireworks, but I didn't want to touch the paint today. I played puzzles with my friends and I played a little tune on the toy piano for them.

Red, White & Blue

Today we painted lots of read, white and blue for the 4th of July. We made hand and foot prints. We also used glue and markers for our project. We had circle time and read books. I am doing great at my puzzles now. I had a busy fun-filled day!

At night I had a great time making faces with Mommy. I started by pretending that I had no lips. Mommy made a similar face and I started laughing so hard. The funny thing is that Mommy got the hiccups this time. We also sang some songs. When Daddy came home from practice he read me some books and then we played for a little bit before bath time. When Daddy was helping with dishes I was playing peek-a-boo with Mommy. There are these boxes in the living room now, since we are moving soon and I was hiding behind them. It was a great day!

Sliding

Today we played outside again. I love the outdoors, just like my uncle John. I played and giggles with Pauly in the playhouse. I picked up sticks and lined them up in the phone holder. I also played in the cars. The first time I slide down the slide I wanted Ms. Laura to catch me. The next time I went all by myself. We painted using my favorite dot markers and also had circle time.

Puzzle Day

Today we went over flash cards and made animal noises. We sang songs and read books. I had a great time going down the slide today and I also played in the big cars. I played with puzzles for a long time today, both before and after lunch.

Shake Shake Shake

Today we went outside to play. I played with the red car and walked around giggling with my friends. Pauly shakes his head at lunch everyday and it makes me giggle. Ms. Laura thinks it is so cute. We colored and glued a strip. I had a get time during circle time. I was so attentive today. We also read books and reviewed flash cards. I helped clean up today too.

Three, Four, Five

Bright and early this morning I was playing with my Leap Frog table and I had it on the Spanish language. I was listening to the alphabet song and singing along in my way and I said ~n (n-yea).

Today at school, I stacked blocks and then knocked them down. I enjoyed playing with the ball toy and the shape sorter. When we went outside today, I played in the big cars, on the slide and on the see-saw with my friend Aly.

At night when I got home I played with Daddy for a bit while Mommy was making dinner and we were counting and I said "Three, Four, Five." I am really picking up language these days.

Vacuuming

Today we painted a fish using dot paints and I spelled my name in stickers on a goldfish. Ms. Laura helped of course. I also played in the tunnel and with legos. I vacuumed with the new toy vacuum too. I am going to be a great little helper, as long as the vacuum doesn't make noise. I even helped clean up the legos today when I was asked.

Rainbow!!!

Today was a pretty relaxing day at home. I played with Daddy for a good portion of the day. We played with all kinds of musical instruments and I just loved it. I also watched a show with both Mommy and Daddy called the New Zoo Revue. Mommy used to watch it when she was a kid and we found it on DVD on Thursday night. Later in the evening after dinner the sun came out and the sky was bright and Daddy went outside and it was still raining. Mommy asked if there was a rainbow and there sure was. It was so exciting. Mommy was taking pictures and Daddy interrupted my movie so I could see the rainbow too. Here are some pictures:

Daddy is pointing out the rainbow to me.
Mommy said that she did that when I was really little,
but that I probably couldn't see that far away at the time.

Daddy gave me a kiss under the rainbow:

Now we're looking at Mommy:

Mr. Potato Head

Today I did a great job at circle time. While Ms. Laura was cleaning up today I was sitting in the chair doing all the motions to The Wheels on the Bus and it got Ms. Laura laughing. I also played with Mr. Potato Head and with some other new toys. So far my favorite is the worm book.

Practicing the Piano

I played with the pianos today. Daddy would be proud that I'm practicing once again. I also played with the shape sorter and the busy boxes in the baby room. I loved going up and down the mountain, but my absolute favorite thing today was cracking myself up in the mirror!

Footsies

Today I was trying to show Gavin how to play footsies and put our feet together. Ms. Laura thought it was so cute. We went outside and played on the see-saw too. Ms. laura was funny singing her song "See-Saw, See-Saw, Up, Down!" The center also got some new toys and I really enjoyed checking them out.

Windy

Today I played with puzzles and block when we were inside and then we went outside for a while, but it got very windy so we had to go back inside. It was a little bit of a bummer. I love to play outside.

Setting an Example

Today I played in the baby room. I was singing and dancing in front of the mirror. I also showed Aly how to play with the shape sorter. I am such a good listener and Ms. Stacy said that I set a good example for my little friends. When I am told to stop shaking the gate, I simply listen and move on to something else. Ms. Stacy said it's very refreshing.

Animal Noises

Today we made animal noises and I thought it was so funny. We sang and danced, read stories, played with blocks and did some work on the computer, just like Mommy does all day. I was in a very happy mood today.

Inside Day

We played inside today. We painted, played with legos and puzzles and we blew bubbles all around the room. We did everything that we could to have tons of fun inside since it was raining outside. We had circle time and read books. I was dancing and practicing head, shoulders, knees and toes. Ms. Laura is impressed with my ability.

Home

Today we had a very busy day at school. We played outside for a while and I ran back and forth and now I give Ms. Laura the sticks, like it's our little game. I made a soccer ball, a baseball and a football picture for our Sports week. I helped clean up and did circle time too. I really loved drinking my milk today. I was very thirsty all day. It must be the humidity.

At night I had dinner with Mommy and then we went for a walk and got water ice at Rosati's Italian Water Ice, which is pretty close to where we live. Mommy wanted to get some before we moved and she was so happy because it was so much less expensive than Rita's and it was very good. I had bubble gum flavored and Mommy had blue vanilla with root beer. When we got home we read some books and played on the keyboard. Mommy caught me going to my book and saying home on the page that says home. She was so proud of me. When Daddy got home we played with some toys and then he gave me a bath. I have so much fun with my Daddy. He makes me laugh.

And this demonstrates how I felt about Mommy shooting the video:

Mommy said, Well at least I recognize the importance of the lens cap. :)

Lightning Strike

I had a very exciting morning. Mommy and I got to the car just before the rain started and then there was a lot of thunder on our way to the daycare. Mommy saw some lightning too. She told me many times that we were going to sit in the car and wait for the storm to pass through or at least calm down and it's a good thing that we did. While we were in the car, lightning struck the building where I go to daycare. We heard a loud crash and saw a spark. I go so scared that I started to cry. Mommy tried to calm me down with songs and soon after my friends all came out of the building, four other kids from school sat in the car with me and Mommy as we all waited for the police and firemen to check out the building. We are so happy that no one was hurt and that we could still play at school. It only took about 40 minutes, but it was an exciting start to the day. Ms. Christine was so proud of how great all of us did. Mommy was glad that she was there to help. We played inside today because of all the storms. I had a good time with Ms. Kathy today. Ms. Becky is getting married this coming weekend, so she won't be in until she is back from her honeymoon. We wish her all the best on her special day!

At night I hung out with Mommy and we read stories. I said the word "home" multiple times today. :) Unfortunately Mommy didn't have the batteries charged to capture it on video, but she is sure that I will say it again. We also folded up clothes, well Mommy did and I kept trying to lay on them. Mommy knew that this meant that I was sleepy, so she got me ready for bed.

Giggling at Ms. Laura

Today we played outside again. I ran all around. I had a great time going in and out of the playhouse. I giggled every time I would run near Ms. Laura. We painted a ball and did some dot painting too. I had a great time playing with legos, shapes and crawling through the tunnel. Aly was hanging out with us today and I was so happy. Girl Power!

Bingo Champion

Today I painted with a dot marker. Mommy said that I am going to be a Bingo Champion when I get older - whatever that means. We played in the tunnel, read books, blew bubbles, and played with block and puzzles. I'm doing a great job at helping pick up toys now. I helped pick up blocks today and I paid more attention at circle time today. :)

Parachute

Today we read lots of books and played with puzzles. We also reviewed parts of the face such as eyes, nose and mouth. We went over our colors too. I helped the boys knock down their lego towers and I had a blast playing with the parachute. It really made me laugh today.

Playhouse

Today we played outside. I mostly played in the playhouse and tried to hide with my 1 stick. We painted and colored too. When there was circle time I decided to come over from time to time to see what was going on. I even helped pick up at the end. I had a great day!

Big Car

Today we had fun stacking blocks and knocking them down. We also sang songs and spent a lot of time outside. I really like riding in the big car. We painted a paper shovel and pail and added sand tot he top to get ready for the summer.

New Shoes

Today we played outside and I'm only picking up a few sticks now and we play "Throw them over the fence." I loved the red car and getting in and out of it. Ms. Laura thought that I was so silly running back and forth around the playground. She loved the way that I was walking in my new sandals, with delicate steps. It had her laugh. Andrew's mom said that it looked like I was practicing walking in high heels.

We did circle time and Ms. Laura said that I am getting better at focusing. We were continuing our lesson on the body parts today. Mommy practiced "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" with me after dinner to reinforce the lesson. I also played the log drum for Mommy again tonight and gave her a long concert. We also read my favorite book from Janey and Adam "Ten Little Ladybugs" and played with the shape sorter.
