Loving the Drums

I played with musical instruments today. I especially loved the drums. I guess I am taking after Daddy there. I went for a long walk in the stroller with the rest of the pre-toddlers, babies, Ms. Stacy and Ms. Becky. I loved watching the cars and the scenery and I stayed awake for the entire walk. I read books in the afternoon and played with Ms. Laura. At night I played blocks with Daddy and we read stories. I also spent time playing with many of my new toys, such as the piggy bank from Uncle Greg. Mommy was impressed that I can now get the coins into the slot all but myself and I can open and close the door. I was doing well pressing the nose to make sounds before, but it took me some time to get the rest of it. I also love the piano from Mary Jane and Frank.

Doctor Visit for my 1 year appt.

Today I slept in a little and hung out with Mommy until mid morning. At school I played with the computer table a lot. It is really one of my favorite toys in the new room. I also sat and played with puzzles and I played in the tunnel. At night I went to the doctor's with Mommy. I am now 30 1/2 inches tall and 22.89 lbs. I screamed when I saw the needles and when I got my shots and I kept spitting out my binky, but after Mommy got me dressed and gave me some extra hugs I did much better. Mommy wasn't feeling good today, so I hung out with Daddy after my appointment, so she could get some extra rest.

Celebrating Grandpa's Birthday

Today we went to Gail's house to celebrate Grandpa's birthday. She really knows how to throw a nice dinner party. I had a great time. Mommy and Daddy were glad that I was feeling better. I especially liked roaming around and playing the hand game that Grandma made up. I love how she makes that clicking noise when I get all five fingers down. I'm trying, but I haven't quite been able to make the noise regularly yet. Here are some pictures from the party.

Arts and Crafts

I enjoyed playing with the computer and puzzles today. I also played in the tunnel with my friends. It took me a little while to get used to the tunnel, but I enjoy it now. I like the arts and crafts too. Today we made a heart picture with paint and a cookie cutter. The class read a few books, but I wanted to do other things. I guess I needed a break from all the reading I did yesterday. My cold also picked up and I needed some time to myself. I especially got annoyed today when anyone tried to wipe my runny nose. In the afternoon my belly was upset and I needed to get picked up from school. Daddy also had a rough day with his back. We are lucky that we have Mommy to take care of us.

Learning

Today I played with the xylophone. I'm good at it too! We built towers out of blocks and then knocked them down. I was really sleepy this morning and a little cranky, but much better after my nap. We also glued and painted this afternoon. I'm learning how to do all the projects and I'm a fast learner.

Towers

Today I enjoyed the cold teether on my gums. I read books with Ms. Becky and even read some by myself. I also painted and glued a heart fish that Ms. Becky helped cut out. We build towers out of giant legos at school and knocked them down and I played with the tunnel. It was a fun day.

Moving On Up

Today was my first full day in the pre toddler room (aka 1 year old room) and I did great! I got a diploma for completing the infant program. Yeah! I glued little hearts onto papers and I picked it up quickly. I had my shoes and hands traced. I was a big helper too. I helped put the blocks in the buckets with all the kids. I was right on schedule with the rest of the 1 year-olds. I am happy to be moving up with Ms. Becky and I'm happy that I still get some time with Ms. Laura. Ms. Stacy will always have a special place in my heart since she was my first teacher, well, aside from my parents.
