New Year's Eve Party?

I don't think so.

Happy New Year!

To celebrate, Luke and I got some cash from the ATM, looked at some strange little houses, and split a scoop of cotton candy ice cream and gummy bears. I'm ready for 2011.

Sledding

Did I mention that Santa brought me a sled for Christmas? Well, its blue and fast and I've taken a lot of rides on it in my backyard. Its only been a week since Christmas and all the snow has melted. I sure hope I get it use it again before next Christmas!

Hey Family

Do you miss me yet?

Bye everyone

This morning Nana, Grandfather, Ali, Dan and Dexter all left for home and I had to go to school! Ugh! I had so much fun with all of them. I didn't want it to end. Thanks for listening to my stories, playing games and reading books with me, keeping me company in the car, and going lots of fun places with me. I hope all of you come back soon.

Nana showed me and mommy how to make fishy decorations with glue and markers and sparkly things.

Grandfather and I played my own version of cribbage many, many times. Me and the babies had many rides in the car.

More Cousins!

Today my cousins from Medina came to visit. Grace, Jason and I ate at our own kids table. I shared all my toys (except my Captain America shield), we played Chutes and Ladders, and had fun all day long. I hope Christmas fun never ends.

Potty training

I've got the idea. Say pee-pee or poo and sit on the Elmo potty. Can I have some underwear now?

Lights!

Despite the cold weather, we all went to the Zoo to see the Christmas lights. We saw a polar bear, some elephants, and lots and lots of lights!

Happy Holidays!

What a wonderful day! I spent another day home with all my family, whom I love. I ate lots of yummy food, my favorites being mommy's carrot cake after dinner, bacon at breakfast, and blueberries for snacks. I had fun ripping the wrapping paper off of lots of presents. And after a cozy 4 hour nap, I played outside in the snow. Like I said, what a wonderful day.

Thanks for all the presents.

Swinging and snowballs go great together!

Mmmm, another juicy turkey from daddy. Thanks for all the good cooking!

CHRISTMAS!!!

Merry Christmas everybody! Woo hoo! Today was the best day ever. Last night Santa came while I was sleeping and brought me exactly what I had asked for, Star Wars Legos and the Incredibles movie. I guess I've been a really good boy because he also brought me candy, books, stickers, a new lightsaber, and a sled. I also got lots of cool presents from my family. Some of the highlights include more Magnatiles, Chutes and Ladders, an RC car, lots of Legos, and books. I like all my presents but the very best most awesome-est one of all is the Captain America shield from Aunt Ali. THANKS ALI!

Thanks Santa! I AM Captain America! Everyone played Chutes and Ladders with me and I won the first game. Also, I got to be Captain America in the game.

Cookies!

Glad I've been practicing my painting at school. Today I got to use my skill to paint cookies. Yum! Hope Santa likes them too.

Shopping carts

Going to the grocery store every day with Ali, Mommy, Luke, and Dexter is getting a bit old. I'm trying to find new ways to spice it up.

Photogenic

Today we spent time with mommy's friend Carolyn. She has a really big camera and likes to take pictures of us. Even with a big piece of apple in my mouth, I think I look just as cute as Cole and Dex.

penmanship

Writing my letters is hard, but I keep trying. Here is my best attempt to date.

Boom, boom

Nina time!

Today I got to visit Nina, Ewan, Anna and Noah. Nina shared her toys, her food, her movies, and her daddy with me. That's because she is my friend, I love her, and we are getting married when we get bigger. We agreed on it.

And I played Noah's drums!!!! YEA!!!!

Visit to COSI

Yesterday I showed Dexter around my school. Today I took him to my science museum. I taught him lots of things, including how to play dress up, splash in the water table, and make funny sounds with a microphone.

Careers at COSI

Today I explored more career options at COSI. What do you think?

Crossing guard? Mailman? Astronaut? Police Officer?

School day

Today I brought Dexter to my school and showed him around. He really liked all the toys in my room. I think he wished he could go to school with me. Mommy was really hoping to see me take my first nap on my new cot, but I woke up too soon. No more crib for me!

Superheros

I am wowing Ali with my knowledge and portrayal of superheros. Thanks daddy for using duct tape to turn my box lid into my amazing Captain America shield. Sometimes I like to be Spiderman or a Jedi, but lately Captain America is my favorite. Doesn't Ali look wowed?

Sharing

My cousin Dexter is staying with us and I am doing my best to share all my things with him. I will share my books and my tent and my crayons and he can share his mommy.

They're here

Christmas can start now. Dexter and Ali are here!
