4 1/2 Years...Big News!

I have big news to share with everyone! I am going to be a baby sister around my birthday time! I am so excited. It doesn't matter to me if it is a girl or a boy. "If it is a girl, I'll have a sister. If it's a boy, I'll have a brother." I have had a lot of fun telling everyone my big news.
I got to go to two different princess plays this month. Mommy and daddy took me to see The Little Mermaid. I was scared to get up on the stage to get my pictures taken with Princess Merida and Princess Aurora, but I got up on stage to tell everyone about the play! I also went to a "Tea with Belle" that was more like games, but it was a lot of fun with Carrie. We saw Beauty and the Beast the next day. Of course, I had to see both movies!
I took the next level of swimming lessons and passed! I'm still a little scared to jump in the water, but I really am getting more confident when I am in there. Mommy took me to the ARC to go swimming right before she went back to work. I also went to the Little Gym a few times and enjoyed it much more than Flipz. I wasn't as scared. I finished my 26.2 Kids on Track marathon and got lots of prizes and a t-shirt.
I also had Nana Arden and Papa Rodney move right into our neighborhood this month! They will only be here until their house gets built, but it is really nice being able to walk right over to their house.
Mommy and daddy took me roller skating for the first time. I was really scared, but mommy and daddy said I did great for my first time. I used a walker at first, but after practicing on the carpet, I was able to go on the floor without it and only holding mommy's hand! That night, we went to a BBQ for daddy's work and I had a lot of fun with the kids there (after being scared to go, of course!)
I got to go to spaghetti on the table at mommy's friend Carolyn's house. I helped make the spaghetti. She put the spaghetti right on the tablecloth and we ate it with our fingers! It was so much fun!
I had a little cold my last week of summer break, but I'm doing OK. I'm back at pre-school full time now and I really like my teachers. I keep talking about next year when I go to kindergarten. I am so excited! I have so many things to look forward to!

4 Years, 5 Months...Summer Fun!

We've been doing so many things this summer! On the second last night of swimming lessons, I decided to put my face in the water. I loved it so much, my teacher couldn't get me to stop! Needless to say, I passed and will start the next level next month. I decided I didn't want to continue with gymnastics because I was scared to flip on the high bar. We had several visitors-Jill and Crosley, the Kosher family, and Lillian and Grayson. Too bad we were having too much fun that mommy forgot to take pictures! I went to Aunt Mary and Uncle Duane's house and got to pet horses and ride a 4-wheeler. Next time, I get to ride the horses! We also went to mommy's cousin's get together and had so much fun! I got to show off my swimming skills and I got to drive a mini car, right into the woods! We also went to a couple of baby showers.
I also visited the dentist's office for the second time and I was a great patient. I got to get something out of the prize drawer! I got brave and climbed the fence to our garden. When I was getting out, I slipped and fell backward in the garden. I hit my head really hard on the wood beams, and scratched up my wrist and knee pretty bad. I fell on the concrete during a walk the next day! Mommy and Daddy took me to Bonkers and I had fun playing the games and did some climbing there. We went to Nana Arden's for the 4th of July, and then got to see lots of fireworks right outside our house!
The next week, we took a trip to Arkansas and visited mommy's friend Stacey (and Ryan and Jaxson and baby Harrison) and daddy's Aunt Marge and Uncle Dave. I had so much fun with Jaxson. We became instant friends! We got to swim in the lake at Aunt Marge and Uncle Dave's house. I even jumped off the dock once, but got water up my nose. Then, Papa Ron and Nana Carol came to celebrate mommy's birthday.
A couple of funny things I have said, "I am looking for toasters on the tree." (Toasters=dried up sap). "Can I have one of those Punch Canadians?", asking for a Hawaiian Punch popsicle. Can't wait to tell you about next month!
