My Favorite Place

Lately my favorite place to be is riding around on Dad's shoulders. Mom snapped our picture the other morning while I was up there just because I spend so much time up there.

Baby Sister is Coming Soon

We've been talking about this baby sister for so long but Mom and Dad tell me it won't be much longer and she'll be here. Ten days to be exact.

This past week at Mom's Dr. appt. they told her she needed to come back the next day for them to check her over and that maybe my baby sister would be coming sooner than we thought. Good news was Mom was all good and they are still planning for my baby sister to come next week.

Before Mom left for her Dr. appointment that morning we took a few pictures just in case they had Mom stay at the hospital - like they did when she was pregnant with me.

Fun Day at the Pumpkin Farm

Yesterday was such a nice day outside Mom and Dad decided to take me to the pumpkin farm. I had a lot of fun!

I loved playing on the big slide, the jumping pillow, barrel train ride, corn maze, horsey swings, watching baby piggy races, feeding the goats - all sorts of fun!

We've gone every year since I was born and Mom takes my picture by their growth chart. Since going last year I grew 6 inches! I hadn't had that big of a growth change the previous three years but from last year to this year it was a big one.

 

 

Big Brother Video

Mom finally got the video off the camera of when they told me I was going to be a big brother. They day is almost here and I'm much, MUCH more excited about getting a baby in our house than I was initially. I even told Mom today, "I'm so excited!" :) When I first found out though...I wasn't sure about it all. 

First Day of School

I started my second year of preschool on Tuesday. I'm not going to the same school I went to last year. This year I'm at a school closer to our house and it's a K-Prep program that is more focused on reading and writing and getting me all ready for Kindergarten.

I'm actually doing really well with my reading and spelling. I do alright with writing but could definitely use some more practice. I am also very interested in math and getting quite good at simple addition and subtraction. Mom and Dad think I have Dad's brain. :)

My first day at school went pretty well. Mom and Dad both dropped me off. They said they could tell I was a bit nervous but I was doing my best to be brave. I gave them both a hug and off they went.

When they picked me up I was happy to see them. I did have a good day but had to tell them I did cry a little because I wanted one more hug. :)  I had the next day off but went back Thursday. Mom took me that day and I gave her two hugs and didn't cry at all. I had a great day. I'm slowly getting into my school routine. Today was day 3 and all was well.

I think I'm going to like school as much as I did last year.

Fun Saturday

I had a fun day yesterday! We started by going to a couple garage sales and I got a new Finn McMissle car and they got some clothes for my baby sister.

Later we played outside and then Daddy took me to the park and the track. I love running around the track.

Then last night Mommy and I watched The Lorax on the big screen in our basement. I liked that movie.

It was a great day!

Football Game With Dad

Friday night Daddy and I went to the local high school season opener football game. I had never been to a high school football game. I was most interested in tackles, watching the numbers on the time clock count down, seeing the track around the the field and eating popcorn. I thought the band was too loud, which made me drop my popcorn to cover my ears. All in all it was alright but will probably be awhile before we go back. :)
