I'm Thirty-Eight Months Old!!!

August 23, 2009...I am now 3 years and two months old. Mommy still can't believe that I'm three! I am so much fun, and I still say funny stuff all the time. I'm a great big brother (most of the time) to little Reesey. He is starting to be able to play with me. I still love to read books. I have fun going to the library to pick out my books, and I like to read books in a series or books about the same characters (just like Mommy). My current favorites are Berenstain Bear books (Visit the Dentist, Go out for the Team, Really Big Pet Show); books about baseball and animals; Richard Scarry books (Colors, At the Airport); Toby, Where Are You?; Over in the Meadow; Under the Sea; Jesse Bear, What Will You Wear?; Dazzling Diggers; and Sports A-Z. My favorite T.V. shows are The Backyardigans & Wonder Pets. My favorite songs are Backyardigans songs, Center Field, Take Me Out to the Ballgame, Go Cubs Go, Day-O, and The Michigan Fight Song. My favorite things to eat are ice cream, chicken, yogurt, fruit snacks, granola bars, my Cars vitamins, and any kind of cracker. I tried Gogurt at the beach with Charlie, and that may be one of my new favorites. I am doing a great job on the potty, and I am ready to go to school in a couple of weeks. I love going to the pool & jumping in all by myself; going to camp; going to Rhyme Time & getting books at the library; being with my family; having Daddy say good night to me after Mommy reads to me; seeing Daddy after work; playing baseball; going for walks; getting snacks at the grocery store (in order: cookie, turkey/ham, cheese, then bread); seeing my friends; playing with my cars from the movie "Cars"; reading books with Mommy; hugging Reesey; watching my shows; taking showers; brushing my teeth; having snacks; being independent (getting drinks out of the fridge on my own, climbing into my car seat, and anything else you'll let me do by myself); seeing Uncle Matt; playing with my stuffed animals; and talking on the phone. I still take a good nap most afternoons. I'm shy around people I do and don't know, but I usually open up after a while. I love to be hugged and to give hugs. I'm silly, sweet, stubborn, happy, healthy, talkative, athletic, caring, and loving.

Carolina Beach, NC...

August 15-20, 2009...I went to Carolina Beach, NC for 5 days! Daddy, Mommy, Reesey & I drove down on Daddy's birthday. We stayed in a house right on the ocean with Uncle Mike, Auntie Jo Jo, my cousins Charlie & Crosby, Uncle Matt, Grammy & Grandpa. I had so much fun there. I went to the beach every day, went to the Boardwalk, had Britt's donuts (YUMMY), went to the aquarium at Ft. Fisher, rode the ferry from Ft. Fisher to Southport, rode on a boogey board, fed seagulls, looked for shells, and played a lot. Charlie & I got to sleep in bunk beds in our own room! That was really cool. Here are lots of pictures from our trip. Thank you Uncle Mike & Auntie Jo Jo for inviting us! Can we do it again next summer?
