September 2008


Dad took us to a new park today and it had a big rock structure. He was pushing Paige on the swing and I ran over to look at it. It was big enough that he thought it was harmless for me to look at. The next thing he knew, I was up on top of it! “I’m good at climbing” I told him. Paige tried to copy me, of course.

Drew thinks he’s the only one who climb these rocks, whatever. The minute I saw him up on top of the rocks, I ran across the park and tried to climb up it by myself. Dad thought it was hysterical.

When I get nervous lately, my new thing to do is run to a place where I’m comfortable and just stand there, occasionally closing my eyes. I did this the other night when the babysitter came over and dad took a picture of me hiding. Still, somehow they found me. Weird.

I love wrestling with Drew and taking breaks to give him kisses too! We’re silly.

A slideshow of some of our pictures…

Today was a big day for Paige and I. I was lucky because my mom came and helped in my classroom today. Because my mom was the helper I got to be the leader today (lead the front of the line, lead calendar, etc). For Paige it was her first time to be home alone with a babysitter and awake. Usually I am home with her and she goes to bed before mom and dad leave for an evening out. But today she stayed with Jenni. Jenni said Paige did well and loved going to the park to play. She had some moments but I think Jenni survived and so did Paige.
Big day for us… I don’t know who is more tired today after preschool me or MOM?!

Gram bought me a new race car toy when we went to the mall yesterday – I LOVE IT! The cars go round and round and then up escalators, it’s cool…thanks, Gram!

When Drew and mom went to the mall yesterday they bought me a new raincoat for winter. I love new clothes and insisted on wearing it all night around the house. After a few minutes I just had to accessorize a little and grabbed Drew’s sunglasses. Mom said I was in disguise, I just call it glamorous!

This morning I went to the dentist for the first time. I got to watch cartoons and wear sunglasses (to keep the bright light out of my eyes)while the dentist cleaned my teeth. I did SO GREAT…I didn’t squirm or cry. The dentist said I had no cavities and was doing a good job brushing. I got a cool toothbrush, sand timer (to show how long I should brush) and a toy from a toy chest! Paige came with me and had a lot of fun watching the dentist use the tools to clean my teeth. They are shiny and bright now:>

Drew and I went to the park yesterday – I’m really starting like it there now that I can climb up on things by myself, and go down the slide! I wear myself out.

Today mom and I went to the mall to meet Gram and Aunt Tracy. We had lots of fun hanging out together (Dad and Paige stayed home). We went out to lunch, and Gram even bought me a toy race car set! Thanks, Gram!
