March 27, 2011...Mommy took me on a "date" today to see the play "Really Rosie." Mommy loves all of the songs from"Really Rosie" (Maurice Sendak) and used to teach them to her students when she was a teacher. I liked the play, especially the songs. The actors and actresses were mostly middle school students. After the play, I got my program signed by everyone.

I'm Fifty-Seven Months Old...

March 23, 2011...I am now 4 3/4 years old! When asked, I say I'm 4 1/2 (not four)!!! I'm still being homeschooled this year, and I am starting to read more and more (though many times I'd rather be doing something else). The biggest change from last month is that I am now totally into drawing. I love to draw all the time, and sometimes, I will spend most of my day drawing. Lately, I've been drawing lots of Curious George pictures. I also love to draw basketball & football players, animals, and Tom & Jerry. My mommy gave me her box of 48 crayons, and I carry that with me everywhere. I even draw pictures in the car on the way to the Y in the morning. I can draw and color with both my right and left hand. My handwriting is getting really good, too. I really only write capital letters, and I am now starting to work on my lowercase letters. I like to label my pictures, and I always write my name on everything. My current favorite shows are "Tom & Jerry" and "Curious George." I could watch "Tom & Jerry" for hours and not stop cracking up! My current favorite books are any Curious George book; anything funny; The Little Lamb; Corduroy; Go, Dog, Go; and basically anything Mommy reads to me. My favorite songs are songs from "The Jungle Book." I love to eat apples, pork tacos with cilantro, eggs (and I just can't believe that Reesey doesn't like them...this is mind-blowing to me), juice, Cheddar-Jack Cheez-its, ice cream, and chicken nuggets. I love seeing Grammy & Grandpa; watching "Tom & Jerry"; playing with Reesey; going on bike rides with Daddy; playing outside with Camden & the boys on our street; reading with Mommy; playing Cars; getting new books from the library; seeing Daddy after work; playing with my friends at the Y; having snacks; drawing; being outside; my stuffed animals (especially Valentine, Sticky, and Duck the duck from Duck); learning new things; getting new clothes (Mommy loves that); and having fun. I still have an excellent memory!!!

I wanted to wrestle my monkey...VIDEO...

Daddy's Third Marathon...

March 20, 2011...Mommy took Reesey & me to cheer on

Daddy at his third marathon. He was running so fast that

we missed him at the first viewing spot. Go, Daddy, go!!!

"I cheered for Daddy until I couldn't see him anymore."

Here we are with Daddy after the race! I told Mommy

on the way home from the race that "Daddy was incredible!"

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

March 17, 2011...Lucky the leprechaun snuck into our

house last night. He turned our milk green, spilled a lot of

shamrocks, and left us his treasure to find. I loved finding

the gold coins and real money! I also enjoyed slurping up

my green milk after finishing my cereal.

We went to a puppet show today. I was going to play a part
in a little play during the performance, but I was too shy and
came back down to sit with Mommy and Reesey.
