More swings, more parks

Ali tells me that swings are Dexter's favorite. So my plan is to take Dexter to a different park every day. Wednesday was my backyard and Thursday was Blendon Woods. Having a picnic lunch with fishies and gummies is also a requirement.

Ali's Camera

With Ali here I now have another camera to pose for. Check out my head shots.

Dex is here!

Ali and Dexter came to visit today. I made sure to show him all of my toys inside and out and I didn't even cry too much when he used my swing.

Jumpy jump

I'm still working on my landing, but you get the idea. If Cole can do it, so can I!

Pro player

Cole to Dad, "Are you sad because the Indians never win?". Quickly followed by, "You should like the Yankees. They always win."

What are you looking at?

Fly away!

My butterflies are all grown up. Today I let them fly away. I hope they come back to visit soon.

I'm not picky

Any tree will do.

Together

is terrific.

Growing butterflies

Luke gave me a bunch of caterpillars for my birthday. First we watched them live in a jar and eat sticky food. Then they built cocoons and we moved them into a butterfly tent. Today the first butterfly came out! They are my new pets!

Terribleness

Today I set a record for most consecutive hours crying, screaming, and whining. Why don't Cole, mommy, and daddy know what I want, do it, and do it right now?!? I think the quickest way to get something is screaming for it and adding the word NOW or just taking it away from another person (Cole). I guess they all disagree. We'll see who wins this battle. I'm committed to my approach.

Highlight reel

Tonight, in 90 degree weather, my team the New Albany Yankees played two innings of big time t-ball against the New Albany Reds. We won, or they won, or we tied. Who knows. I played second base and hustled to get the ball, sometimes fighting my teammates for it. I had two at bats. First was a line drive to the first baseman and he tagged me out. Second was a bunt, I made it to first and thanks to my teammates I ended up scoring. Go Yankees!

End of the game huddle.

Here are some clips showing my second hit, scoring, and our after the game ritual.

Watching Cole

Watching Cole play baseball is so much fun. Wait? We were watching Cole? Hmm. Guess I missed that. I just like playing at the park and eating my fishies.

My best friend-cousin

It only took me a couple of minutes to decide that my cousin Max is a great bestest friend. He came to visit me this weekend, with his mommy, daddy, and little brother. We both love Star Wars, the Avengers, and Superheros. We had light saber battles, water gun battles, and glow stick battles. We like to eat gummy snacks and drink juice boxes. While he was here we played in the pool, I shared my toys, we slept in my bed, and we went to COSI.

Play time!

We agree that science is fun. 

We also agree that carriages are boring.
