Having Fun With Stephanie's Friend

Today I got to meet Stephanie's friend Ian. Ian lives about 2.5 miles away from us. I had so much fun with him. I like him so much. He is very funny too. Here is a picture of me with him and also a picture of Stephanie and I as well as mommy, daddy and I.

I'm A Biker Dude!!

This afternoon daddy took me out for a bike ride on my new bike. I even am wearing a helmet and knee pads to make me safe. After I rode my bike, daddy took me to the playground to run around and climb. I really enjoyed riding my new bike. Thank you mommy and daddy for getting it for me!!!

Going to Playland!!

Today, mommy and daddy took me to Wheaton Plaza. Wheaton Plaza has something new called Playland. It is a place where you can climb and go on the slide. Birthday parties can be hel there. While I was playing, daddy ordered a pizza for lunch. After I played for a little bit, I ate and then we went home because I had to take a nap. I had fun climbing and sliding and I hope to go back there again real soon.

Stickers And A Ball

Today I had to see my doctor and dentist for school. The doctor told me that I am 28lbs and 35 1/2 inches and that I am proportioned well for height and weight. While I was there, he said I was up to date with all my shots and will not need any more until kindergarten. Today I had to get a TB test and the flu mist. I flinched a little when they did the under the skin TB test, but I did not cry. I got two stickers while I was there and the nurse put them on a tongue depresser to make it look like a puppet. I was so excited and held on to it while I was in the car and would not put it down.


Mommy then took me to see "Doc" and I really had a lot of fun with him. He let me explore his instruments (with his supervision of course). In Doc's mind it is important to get the child comfortable and playing with me was one of them. Mommy wishes that the dentist would have done that with her when she was my age. The visit went really well. I let Doc count my teeth, clean my teeth, and take an x-ray of my teeth. The reason why he took an x-ray was because I had 10 teeth on the top and only 9 on the bottom so there was one tooth missing. Doc told mommy that there is a permanent tooth there (which will come up when I am older) and that the baby tooth never formed, which is ok. The good thing is a do not have a gap in between my teeth. He told mommy that she and daddy are doing great with me especially with my teeth and that I do not have any tooth decay. I guess it is because they do not give me too much sugar and they tell me to brush my teeth. Doc gave me a bag of goodies: toothpaste, toothbrush, and a ball. I love Doc, he's the best!!

Because I did so well, mommy took me to Potomac Pizza so that I could get a slice of pizza and fries. I ate the whole slice and some fries. While we were at Potomac Pizza, I said "I really like this place!" Mommy told me that when she, Aunt Amy, and Aunt Karen went there when they were growing up. Mommy thought I was funny and cute when I told the waiter that I was missing a tooth. I think the waiter thought I was cute too. When I saw daddy and Stephanie last night, I also told them that I was missing a tooth. Yesterday was such a good day. Tomorrow I will be going back to St. Ann's for school.

Labor Day at National Harbor

Today mommy, daddy, and Stephanie took me to the National Harbor. I had so much fun. First, we went into Ben and Jerry's and I had a chocolate covered pretzel along with daddy. Mommy and Stephanie had a milk shake. Then we went to the playground near by where there were rocks as well as a statue coming out of the sand. You could climb on the head, the arms, and the legs and then there was sand in the middle. I had so much fun running around in the sand and climbing. It was a fun day.

Aunt Amy, Aunt Karen, and Mommy's childhood home.

Today we drove to the house where Aunt Amy, Aunt Karen, and Mommy lived in Falls Church, Virginia. We took a picture of it. Mommy says that the trees are much higher now and it is hard to see the house. I was glad to see the house that they grew up in though.

An Evening with Stephanie

Tonight we went to Alexandria for the night. First we stopped by Stephanie's to pick her up. I got to meet her mom and dad, Delores and Stephen. I also got to meet Stephanie's birds and dogs. I have gotten used to being around dogs and I love them. I thought the birds were pretty neat too. Then we left and went out to dinner with daddy, mommy, and Stephanie. It was a very fun evening.

A Is For Apple.

Today mommy and I went in to work with daddy. I went to try out the Pre-K 3 class and mommy helped daddy out in the library to get it organized for the students for next week. When mommy and daddy came to pick me up from the classroom, I was so excited and showed them the apple that I made. I was beaming from ear to ear. Afterwards, daddy and mommy enrolled me at St. Ann's and I will start attending there on Wednesday. I cannot wait.
