I'm Forty-Seven Months Old!!!

May 23, 2010...Yep, just one month away from my birthday, and I can't wait to be four. Mommy is dreading it, but I keep telling her that I'll still be her little boy. Nothing much has changed in the last month. I'm getting ready to finish my first year of preschool. I have loved going to school, learning, and making new friends. I still totally love sports...especially baseball and football. I play baseball every day. I'm getting really good at catching now. I love to ride my bike, and I'm getting really good at that, too! I love to listen to music, and my current favorite songs are The Alphabet Lost and Found and songs from my Veggie Tales CDs from Chick-Fil-A. My favorite stuffed animals right now are Polar Bear and my new tiger cat, Milo. My favorite shows to watch are Little Bear, Max & Ruby (which I watch at Grammy & Grandpa's house), and The Backyardigans. Reesey wants me to watch Wonder Pets with him. My favorite books are any nonfiction books about sports and just about anything Mommy will read to me. I haven't been really particular about books except that I do need my football and baseball books in my bed while I rest. I still take a "rest" every day...basically, I play with my stuffed animals and read my books...and sometimes I sleep. Sometimes, I like to get out of my bed during rest time and read in my rocking chair. I love playing baseball with Daddy and my friend, Camden; going to Grammy & Grandpa's house while Mommy tutors; playing with my baseball and football guys; playing with my Legos; having snacks; reading with Mommy at night; playing Wii with Daddy; going to the library; going to school and seeing my friends; eating ice cream, if I get the chance; chasing Reesey and getting him to talk to me; playing outside, especially with my neighbors Wyntur & Camden; riding my bike; and being with people who love me. I still love to be hugged! Here are some pictures of me today...

Bunting (and I just hit the ball)...

Totally worn out...and still hugging Milo...

(and don't forget about Little Bear)

A Great Day & VIDEO...

May 15, 2010...I had a really fun day today! We got to eat popsicles on Grammy & Grandpa's porch swing. Then, Grammy, Mommy, Reesey & I went to a festival. I got to eat cotton candy, ride on a carousel, knock down some trolls, get my face painted, ride on a train, play in a bouncy house, and go down a bouncy slide and through a bouncy obstacle course. It was awesome!
