I'm in Kindergarten Now!

On Tuesday I played in the kindergarten room while mommy and daddy met with my teacher, Mrs. Brady. Today was my first day of kindergarten, and I told daddy I liked everything and want to go back next Tuesday. Half of my class went today, and half will go tomorrow, so I'll see all of my classmates on Tuesday. I'll also have music, art, Spanish, library, PE, and computers.

Earthquake!

Today at Spanish camp our teacher said that a big truck went by outside because she didn't want to worry us that we had an earthquake! A 5.9 earthquake rattled us. It was daddy's first day of student teaching and he helped his first graders out into the hallway after the building started shaking.

Our Relaxing Trip To Williamsburg

We had a wonderful time in Williamsburg. The first night that we were there, Stephanie drove from Richmond (an hour away) to have dinner with us and to stay the night. The next day, mommy and Stephanie went to a Salt Spa which they liked very much. While they were there, daddy and I went to the pool. It was mostly hot during our trip so we did things mostly inside. We went to Ripley's Believe It or Not. I liked the museum part and I was excited about seeing the 4D Wizard of Oz movie as well as a 4D Dinosaur movie. However, I did not like it and they both scared me. I also did not like being squirted with water 10 times. I did like the bubbles and the snow. Mommy and daddy also took me to a Children's Museum in Portsmouth, VA. I really liked that. Thursday the 14th, I did many activities with the Activities Staff while mommy and daddy spent the day together for their 10 year anniversary. It was nice to get away from them for a little while. Then that evening they took me out to dinner. Our last day there, mommy and daddy took me to Busch Gardens. I had so much fun riding the rides and I even got to see Grover and Elmo!! I really enjoyed the trip. Maybe when I am older I will like to go into Colonial Williamsburg.

I am now looking forward to seeing my Great Aunt, Connie, my cousins Ellen and Lauren and their children in St. Louis. Then we will be going to Hannibal to see Dawn, mommy's roommate from college all of next week. I am also looking forward to August when my Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey and my cousins Reagan, Harrison, Madison, and Kennedy come out for a visit.

Sand, Water, And Rides-Oh My!

What a fun-filled weekend I had. Mommy Daddy and I drove to Pop's and Gam's beach house for the weekend. I got to see Pops, Gams, Aunt Amy, and my cousins Abbey and Casey. Aunt Amy brought us kids out on the beach so that we could play in the sand. I really enjoyed that I did not like going into the ocean though. Amy even put the baby pool out on the deck so that Abbey and I could play in it. Boy did we have fun getting each other wet. I think we even got mommy wet a few times. One day, Amy and mommy took Abbey and I to Funland in Rehobeth. I really enjoyed the rides especially the one that is like an elevator but it goes up and drops down very fast. There was even a playground area that I could climb on which I thoroughly enjoyed too. However, mommy did not get a picture of that because she was keeping tabs on where I was going through the maze. The whole weekend was so much fun. Our next trip will be to go to Williamsburg in July. Mommy and Daddy said that it will be a lot of fun.

Field Day At St. Ann's

Today was my last Field Day at St. Ann's Academy. I had a wonderful time with all my friends. Here is a picture of me with all of the friends in my Pre-K 4 class. Next year I will be participating in Field Day at St. Francis International School (where mommy works).

Bobby saying goodnight to mommy

I was saying goodnight to mommy and she said she had to take a test tomorrow. I asked what kind of test, and she said to get certified as a teacher. I said, 'Oh, so the kids will be quiet and play nicely, and listen to you and follow the rules of the school'.

A Great Night With My Cousin, Abbey

Tonight mommy, daddy, and I went out to dinner with Pops, Gams, and Abbey. Abbey and I got to sit next to each other. We had so much fun coloring and laughing. Gams, Pops, mommy and daddy even played a 20 questions with us to keep us occupied. Since Abbey and I did so well with eating our dinner we were able to have some ice cream. Yummy! I had so much fun with Abbey and I cannot wait to see her again.

Bobby playing Ms. Pacman

I described this fantastic game I was playing with daddy: the snapping thing eats the dots and then the monsters turn blue and then you eat them.

Never mind that mommy and daddy played Ms. Pacman 25 years before I was born!

Fish Fry

Tonight mommy, daddy and I went to the fish fry at St. Camilla's. We had fish, mac and cheese, green beans, and corn bread. I really did not like the fish, however, I at least tried some of it. I really liked the mac and cheese, green beans, and corn bread. Here is a picture of me and daddy at the fish fry.

Mardi Gras at St. Francis International School

Tonight Mommy and Daddy took me to the Mardi Gras celebration at mommy's school. I had so much fun dancing and playing with the balloons. My favorite part was getting my face painted. So I had a snake painted on my face.

My 5th Birthday Party At Little Gym

Today I had my birthday party at Little Gym and I had so much fun. Daddy and mommy wanted to get me a birthday cake that had frosting and happy birthday written on it. However, I wanted the cake that had a big strawberry in the middle. Giant could not write Happy Birthday on it. So they put candles on the cake the said Happy Birthday. I was not fond of the cake after all. In the pictures we did some different activities and went on the Airtrak. It was a very fun afternoon. Mommy and daddy cannot believe that I will be five in a few days and that I will be going to Kindergarten in a little over seven months.
