How is it possible that six months have gone by since my birthday? I guess that time really does fly when your having fun. And talk about fun!? This summer was awesome! We did so much and had so much fun, that I told mom it was okay to take a little vacation from writing my monthly posts. But, just like I had to start going to school, she needed to start up again. Besides, what else is she going to do while I’m there?

This past month we really packed in as much as possible. We went got back from our trip to Ohio and just kept going. Lot’s of pool time, trips to Lincoln Park Zoo, the park, getting ice cream, not to mention  . . . I MET THOMAS! It was the best day ever in my whole life. I got to RIDE Thomas and Percy, meet Sir Topham Hatt, see all sorts of trains, and play with all things Thomas. I want to go do it again (I ask EVERY day!) but mom said that he had to go back to the island of Sodor.

Seriously, how cool is that!? I got a picture with Thomas!! The even spoke to me and tooted his whistle. It was the best!

And of course I have to mention that I started preschool this year. Am I getting to be a big boy or what? I really love it so far. My teachers are so nice and fun. We get to great things like play outside every day, do science experiments, go to the library, play with blocks and puzzles, and a million other things. I just had my school pictures taken last week, mom can’t wait to see them!Some of my favorite things right now are to read books, do puzzles, and play with trains, cars, and blocks. I am really loving to watch the movie Cars and play with Lightening McQueen, Mater, and the rest of the guys from Radiator Springs. Paw Patrol, Chuggington, and Odd Squad are some of my favorite shows at the moment. I am also super into wishing everyone a happy birthday (even if it isn’t) and singing in the car.

Looking forward to what Fall has to bring!

I really love being three! It’s only been for a little while, but I get to do so a lot of “big boy” things now. I got my own “big boy” bed and I am so proud of it. I have to show everyone when they come over to visit and one of my favorite things to do is sit on my bed and read books with Mommy and Daddy.

I also started swimming lessons. I’m a bit nervous about being in the pool without mom or dad, but I’m being really brave. I even got my first swim ribbon last week! I was so proud when I brought it home and mommy hung it up for everyone to see. 

I also started going to a new “big boy preschool” now that I’m three. I’m still getting used to things, but I like my teached

Easter was so much fun! I really liked coloring eggs and hunting for them. The Easter Bunny brought me  some garden tools, a kite, and jelly beans! We went to Grandma and Grandpa’s house and there were even more eggs and I got a second basket full of bubbles, paints, chalk, and more jelly beans. 

I am so happy that the weather is warm enough to play outside.  It’s so much fun to dig in the dirt, go on “treasure hunts” with Mommy, play with chalk, and ride in the wagon. Plus, I’ve been jumping into every puddle I can find and rescuing worms to put back in the grass after it rains. I’m so looking forward to more fun in the sun!

This month has been all about snow! I absolutely love being outside and playing in the snow. We go sledding, climb snow mountains, throw snowballs for Walter, and make snowmen. I would go outside all the time, if mom would let me.

We’ve been having a lot of fun indoors, too. We’ve been playing a lot with play dough, coloring and painting pictures, and building with my blocks and legos. I also like to build obstacle courses and play basketball in the basement.

I got to go see my cousin Luke play hockey this month. It was a lot of fun, but it was cold inside. I liked seeing all the kids skate on the ice and the zamboni was really awesome.

I’m so excited, I can’t believe that I am going to be three years old in just a month!

It’s been a busy month! Christmas and New Year’s has come and gone. It was all a blur, but so much fun! Santa came! I got a lot of awesome presents from Santa, Mom and Dad, and the rest of the family. I think that my favorites are my new Cranky the Crane (one of Thomas’ friends), a toy barn with farm animals, a toy tool bench, and my stuffed Thomas pillow. I think that my favorite part of the holidays was having Dad home from work and to be able to play with him. We had a great time!

It has been so cold and snowy outside. It’s not fair because I want to use my new sled and play, but mom won’t let me because it is TOO COLD. How is that possible!?

Grandma and Grandpa left for Florida and I miss them already. Luckily, we got to spend a lot of time together before they left. I can’t believe that the next time I see them, I’ll be three!
