A Blog For Bobby

My Bowling Party

2012-01-21T22:36:00.005-05:00

Even though I turned 6 on Wednesday, I celebrated today with my friends at the AMF College Park Lanes. Everyone had so much fun and so did I. Even my cousin Abbey was there too. We had fun playing duckpins, pretending to play arcade games, eating pizza, having soda, lemonade and a marble birthday cake with cars on it!! After my party, my Aunt Amy took Abbey and I to Pops and Gams house to play for a while. Then Pops and Gams took Abbey and I out to dinner, to the toy store, and to the cupcake store. Thank you Amy for taking me to Pops to play. Pops and I Gams thank you so much for celebrating my birthday with me, I had a great time. I was so glad I got to spend time with Abbey. It was the best day!!

I'm 6 years old today!

2012-01-18T10:08:00.001-05:00

Six years ago today a wonderful woman gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, and gave him to a family that could provide for him. He spent 15 months with a wonderful foster family that loved him very much.

Happy Birthday, Bobby, we are so proud of you! Love, Mom and Dad

I'm in Kindergarten Now!

2011-09-01T21:10:00.002-04:00

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!

2011-08-23T21:19:00.002-04:00

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

2011-07-23T21:36:00.000-04:00

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!

2011-06-26T20:53:00.002-04:00

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

2011-05-31T20:47:00.002-04:00

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

2011-04-20T20:58:00.002-04:00

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

2011-04-10T21:06:00.000-04:00

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

2011-04-04T08:27:00.001-04:00

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

2011-03-11T21:17:00.000-05:00

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

2011-03-04T20:57:00.000-05:00

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

2011-01-15T21:24:00.000-05:00

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.

Breakfast with Santa round 1, and Bookfair round 2

2010-12-05T20:54:00.001-05:00

Yesterday we went to Saint Francis International School where mommy works for their Breakfast with Santa. I told Santa I wanted a reindeer. Daddy answered a Nativity question correctly about who Saint Ann is (the grandmother of Jesus). He better get that one right, he works at Saint Ann's Academy!

Speaking of Saint Ann's, next Sunday is their Breakfast with Santa. Wonder what I'll ask their Santa for! Saint Ann's already had their bookfair, but Saint Francis was holding theirs this weekend. I couldn't understand why daddy wouldn't let me buy the same book I saw at the Saint Ann's Bookfair.

Today we went to Saint Ann's for church, and my classmate Claire was there for nursery during Mass. Good thing, I had been asking daddy since the night before if she would be there.

Presenting my new look

2010-11-28T21:06:00.002-05:00

My Hearing/Vision/Speech screening a few weeks ago recommended that I get my eyes checked. Today mommy and daddy took me to Lenscrafters and I got these cool new glasses! Actually they're my third choice, I first was set on a pair of sports glasses, then a pair of brown glasses that ended up being too big for me. I told daddy I wanted to show them to my cousin Harrison!

Casey's Baptism

2010-11-26T20:52:00.003-05:00

Today Casey got Baptized. After the Baptism, we went to Pops house to have some snacks. Today I also got to see my great-aunt Nancy, my great-uncle, Jim, and my great-aunt Ann. Once again, I got to play in the Moon Bounce with my cousins and had a blast. I really like that moon bounce. I wish I could have one in my basement but mommy and daddy said that it would not fit. When it was time to leave Pops and Gams house, I had to say goodbye to Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey, and my cousins Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison. I was not happy and I did not want Harrison to leave and I do not like goodbyes. I was sad for a couple of days and I still miss Harrison. I had so much fun playing with him. I want to go on the airplane to Harrison's house so I can play with him. I wish I could play him every day. Mommy and Daddy said that I will be able to play with him soon.

Happy Thanksgiving

2010-11-25T20:41:00.000-05:00

Today we went over to Pops and Gams house for Thanksgiving dinner. I had so much fun and if I had the chance, I would have played there all night long! I had so much fun playing with different toys with my cousins. We even got to color too. I tried a little bit of turkey, but my favorite food was the chicken nuggets and the peanut butter and jelly Uncrustable. For dessert, I had strawberry ice cream and I really like it a lot. The best part of the afternoon, was playing in the moon bounce in Pops and Gams basement. It is hard to believe that I actually used to be afraid of them because I love to play in there. I had such a good day playing with my cousins.

A Fun Day With My Cousins

2010-11-21T20:28:00.003-05:00

Yesterday, my Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey, and my cousins Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison came into town and was staying at Aunt Amy's and Uncle Scot's house. Today we had brunch with Aunt Amy, Uncle Scott, Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey and my cousins Abbey, Casey, Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison at Aunt Amy's and Uncle Scot's house. Mommy's cousins Ellen and her husband Brandon were there too. In the afternoon, Abey, Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison went to the park with Aunt Amy, Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey, and mommy and daddy. We had so much fun riding on the tire swing. It was a fun filled day and when we got home and had dinner, I was so tired that I went to bed. I

I wish I could be with my cousins every day, however, I have to go to school the next couple of days. I am looking forward to playing with them at Chuck E Cheese on Wednesday and also playing with them on Thursday and Friday.

Christmas Bazaar at St. Francis

2010-11-13T20:17:00.004-05:00

Daddy took me to St. Francis International School today to see mommy. She was helping at the Christmas Bazaar by taking Character Pictures. Mrs. Claus, Santa, and Sprinkles the Elf were there. I did not get to see Santa because I went to Little Gym. I did get to see Sprinkles and had a picture taken with her. Mommy took this picture of Mrs. Claus and I.

Seeing Abbey, Casey, Amy and Pops

2010-11-06T20:00:00.001-04:00

Today I wentto my cousin Abbey's house to play with her and see my three month old cousin Casey. After we played for a little bit, I went to have dinner with mommy, daddy, Pops, and Abbey. Mommy, Daddy, and Pops thought that we ate really well. It was really hard for me to say goodbye to Pops and Abbey. I really do not like goodbyes at all. However, I am really excited about seeing Abbey on Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to seeing Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey, Reagan Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison as well. They are flying out two weeks from yesterday. Yay!!

Playing at the Park Before Going to Church

2010-10-23T20:00:00.004-04:00

Today we went to church at St. Camillus, daddy and mommy took me to play at the park. After I played for a little while, we went across the street and had a picture taken in front of the St. Francis International School (where mommy works) sign.

My Gymnastics Experience

2010-10-02T23:13:00.004-04:00

Today mommy and daddy took me to Little Gym today so that I could try out a class. I really had a great time. I got to do somersaults, I flipped over a bar and I even walked on the balance beam. I really like Gymnastics and I wish mommy and daddy listened to me sooner. I kept telling them in August that I did not want to do soccer and that I really wanted to do Little Gym. Mommy and Daddy enrolled me today and I cannot wait to go back next week. Here are some pictures of my adventure at Little Gym today.

Playing With Thai

A Fun-filled Week With A Great Babysitter

2010-08-20T19:58:00.002-04:00

Sorry that we have not posted in a while. We have been really busy with mommy and daddy getting ready for the school year which will start in 11 days.

This week has been so much fun. Blair came over to babysit me every morning this week while mommy and daddy had to work. I had so much fun. Blair and I played video games, play-dough, colored, and she even drew some things with sidewalk chalk outside. Today it was really hard for me to say goodbye to her. I did not want her to go to college. Hopefully when she comes home for vacations she could babysit me again.

I Have A New Cousin!!

2010-08-18T19:53:00.000-04:00

On August 6th, my new cousin Casey was born. I thought he was so cute. I got to see him when I went to go over to my cousin Abbey's house (Casey's big sister). I had so much fun playing with Abbey. I even got to take a quick look at Casey and then all I wanted to do was play with Abbey. Nona was there too. I am sad that Nona has to go back home tomorrow. I will really miss her. Here is a picture of mommy holding Casey.

Miller, Illinois

2010-08-05T19:49:00.001-04:00

2010-08-04T20:00:00.003-04:00

Tonight mommy, daddy, and I went to Pios for dinner in St. Charles, MO. Mommy loved this restaurant since she was a kid. I really liked it and had fun too. They have really good toasted ravioli and pizza. I even got to see my great-aunt Jeanne again and some of mommy's other relatives such as my great-aunt Connie and many cousins (Nancy and her husband Jose, Stephanie, Lauren, Ellen and her husband Brandon, Austin, and Emma. I had a really fun evening. Tomorrow it is time to start driving back home.

Magic House Children's Museum

2010-08-04T16:00:00.001-04:00

This morning mommy and daddy took me to a museum just for kids!! I really had a great time. We went to the Magic House Children's Museum in Frontenac, MO. I got to pretend to be a judge (the judge's chamber room was donated by Bryan and Cave Law Firm where my Aunt, Amy used to work), build things, and there was even a Jack and the Beanstalk that I was able to climb on. I think mommy was kind of nervous because the beanstalk was 3 stories long!! But once I was done, she was so excited that I had fun doing it and that I was able to climb the whole thing.

Our trip to Litchfield, IL

2010-08-03T17:28:00.001-04:00

On August 3rd, we went to Litchfield, Illinois to see my great-aunt, Jeanne, my great-uncle Ed, my cousin Sarah, her husband Ryan, and her daughter, Sydney. I got to play with Sydney and I had fun. I even got to swim in the pool at Jeanne's house. It was a great day. For dinner mommy, daddy, and I went to a pub on Main Street in St. Charles, MO and I ate toasted ravioli. Mommy tells me that it is a St. Louis/St. Charles, MO favorite. It was so yummy.

A really fun week with Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison

2010-08-01T20:00:00.000-04:00

I had so much fun while I was at Aunt Karen's house. When it was time, it was hard for mommy, daddy, and I to leave. I had played with Reagan and Harrison every day. I even got to go to swimming lessons with Reagan and Harrison. I am now a fish because I put my head under water and I was laying on by back and on my stomach while in the pool. I let the teacher hold on to me. On Wednesday July 28th, we got to go to Aberdeen to Storybook Land. I really enjoyed it two years ago and I still love going there. Saturday night of July 31st we went to Reagan's dance recital. She is such a great dancer!!

Falls Overlook Park in Sioux Falls, SD

2010-08-01T16:00:00.000-04:00

We went to Sioux Falls, SD on our way towards St. Charles, MO. We stopped there to have lunch and to walk around outside. It was really nice outside and I loved seeing the water.

Yay! Today we will arrive in South Dakota!!

2010-07-25T20:00:00.001-04:00

On the way to Aunt Karen and Uncle Corey's house, we stopped at De Smet, SD to see Laura Ingalls Wilder's house. I even got to see baby horses and barn kittens. We even road a covered wagon and the driver let me drive for a little while. I even got to see how people lived during the 1800s. While on the covered wagon, we stopped at a one room school house. I sat at one of the desks to see what it felt like.

Once we left De Smet, SD I was so excited to hear that we would be in Gettysburg, SD in a few hours. A few hours later, I was playing with Reagan and Harrison!

Malls and Bats

2010-07-24T16:16:00.001-04:00

Our 2nd stop will be to stay in Minnesota overnight. On the way, we stopped in Wisconsin so that we could get some exercise, so we walked inside the mall and then mommy and daddy let me play a little bit on the playground. Once we arrived in Minnesota, we went to the Mall of America. Was that mall huge. There was an amusement park inside with a roller coaster! I also saw some other children playing with legos in a store. For dinner we went to Rainforest Cafe. This was the first location to open. I liked the mac and cheese, however, I did not like the elephant noises, storm noises, and I was afraid of the bats flying around. Mommy and daddy told me it was for pretend that all of those things were not real.

A Two Week Family Excursion

2010-07-23T15:53:00.000-04:00

Yesterday we left for our two week road trip to South Dakota to see Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey, and my cousins Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy and Madison and on the way home we will be stopping in St. Charles, MO where some of mommy's family lives. The first stop was to stay overnight in Cleveland, OH. Today on the way to Chicago, we went stopped in South Bend, IN to walk around on Notre Dame's campus. However, it was too hot so we had lunch at Legends and mommy lit a candle for a friend. On the way to Notre Dame, we stopped at a travel plaza and inside was the South Bend Chocolate Company. Mommy had bought a Mexican hot chocolate with cinnamon for her and daddy. She also bought a chocolate bar for all of us to share. The chocolate was soooo good!

Swimming Lessons

2010-07-15T15:45:00.002-04:00

Mommy and daddy enrolled me in a two week swimming lesson class to help me get acclimated to the water. They were thinking that each summer I am really scared to go in the water that this class would help me get over my fear of getting in the water and they were right. The swim lessons were held in Bethesda. I had so much fun and I did not have any problems with jumping to the teacher in the water!! I even jumped off the diving board.

Hitting the Beach Before Hitting The Road

2010-07-10T20:43:00.002-04:00

I have been having so much fun at the beach with my Cousin Abbey, Aunt Amy, Uncle Scott, Pops, Gams, and Mommy and Daddy. I got to play in the pool on the deck and play games with Abbey. I even went to Funland in Rehobeth and had a great time. Daddy and I even got mommy to go on the teacup ride. Mommy forgot how fast it went and I do not think she liked it too much.

Sports Skills

2010-07-07T20:19:00.002-04:00

Today mommy and daddy took me to Sports Skills at Gymboree. The class was canceled today but at least I still got to play instead. It was like having an extra Playgym!! I really loved seeing Kim today at Gymboree as well! I even got to see her yesterday while I was there for School Skills. I even got to see my friend Carlos there which is a boy I met last week at Playgym. Mommy used to teach him at Gymboree. I cannot wait to go back next week!!

Thai's Special Treat

2010-07-05T23:37:00.003-04:00

Stephanie came over today to see us. While daddy took me to the pool, mommy and Stephanie stayed inside the house. Mommy and Stephanie decided to give Thai a taste of tuna fish. So mommy put a spoonful in a bowl. Thai ate it right up and begged mommy and Stephanie to give him more. Thai was not happy because he could not have anymore. The tuna was his birthday celebration from yesterday. Here is a picture of Bobby giving Thai a birthday hug.

Fourth of July Weekend

2010-07-05T15:50:00.002-04:00

This weekend was so much fun and we did so much. First we went to see grandma and grandpa Fosko. Then we went to see Uncle Gary, Aunt Carolyn, and my cousins Emma, Kensie, and Maddie. I had so much fun drawing with the side walk chalk with them. Then we went to daddy's friend's house. I did not like going in the sprinkler and I did not like water balloons hitting me but I did like throwing them at other people. I also thought I would also help out with some vaccumming. Here is a picture of me riding on a vaccum cleaner as one of daddy's friends was pushing it.

Happy Birthday America and Thai!

2010-07-04T23:32:00.000-04:00

We drove home today after a fun weekend spending time with my cousin Abbey on Friday, then with Grandma and Grandpa Fosko. Saturday I got to see my cousins Emma, Kensie, and Maddie and then that night we went to a BBQ at one of dad's college friend's house. I loved playing with the water Balloons. Today we got back home and spent time with Thai who turned one today. Mommy and Daddy even let me stay up late to watch the fireworks on TV. I really liked the fireworks and had a fun-filled weekend.

Summer Has Been So Much Fun So Far

2010-06-30T20:32:00.008-04:00

This summer, I have already gone to a couple of parks, Adventure USA in New Market, MD, birthday parties, and Vacation Bible School at a Lutheran Church in Silver Spring. Yesterday after mommy was done with her in-service, mommy and daddy took me to play at Gymboree. I really enjoyed playing with Carlos who is about the same age as I am and mommy used to teach him at Gymboree. I cannot wait to see him again. Mommy said that she and Carlos' mom will set up some play dates for us!!
This week was mommy's first week of in-services for work and is looking forward to starting the school year working in the two year old classroom at St. Francis International School in Silver Spring.
There are some trips that I am looking forward to this weekend. Friday we are going to PA to see Grandma and Grandpa Fosko. Saturday we are going to see Uncle Gary, Aunt Carolyn, and my cousins Emma, Kensie, and Maddie. Next week we will go to the beach and I will get to see Pops, Gams, Aunt Amy, Uncle Scott, and my cousin Abbey. I will also get to see Abbey this Friday as well. Then in July we will be going to South Dakota to see Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey and my cousins Reagan, Harrison, Madison, and Kennedy. In August we are going to go to Missouri to meet some more of mommy's family. I am looking forward to it very much.

Mommy created this video of me having fun the last couple of months. The song that is playing in the background is from a CD that I got at Bible School. Enjoy!!

Daddy's Little Helper

2010-06-20T00:19:00.002-04:00

Since I was done school and daddy wasn't, I went in a few days this week to help daddy in the library. I helped move some books, and put videos on a shelf. I got to walk down the street with daddy and go to McDonald's for lunch, and I even got these cool watches in the shape of characters from the Shrek movie.

Maybe I've been at daddy's school too much. I asked daddy why he was moving something, and he said 'so it looks nice'. I said 'so [the principal] will be happy'?

Paddling in the Harbor

2010-06-11T20:21:00.002-04:00

Today was daddy's last day of school. We went to pick him up at St. Ann's and then went with mommy to a workshop in Baltimore called 'Handwriting Without Tears'. While mommy went to the workshop and got a lot of good ideas for next year at St. Francis International School, daddy took me for ice cream, and then a paddleboat ride in the Inner Harbor. I'm liking summer vacation!

Pre-K Graduation

2010-06-04T20:13:00.001-04:00

Today was my last day of pre-K 3. I even got a diploma. Though, in two years I'll be part of the kindergarten graduation and performance. They sing a song with the refrain 'A B C' ... 'now I can read'. Daddy's trying to find it for me. For kindergarten I'll have the same teacher my uncle Anthony had.

Field Day

2010-06-01T20:09:00.003-04:00

Today was Field Day for the pre-kindergarten classes at St. Ann's Academy. I got my face painted, had lots of candy and goodies, and a baloon dog. I kept talking all the way home about how much fun I had on Field Day!

Weekend in Waldorf

2010-05-31T19:59:00.003-04:00

Daddy still needs to get the pictures developed since he forgot our camera, but I wanted to tell you about our Memorial Day Weekend. We stayed in Waldorf Maryland so we could go to Point Lookout State Park, where the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River meet. We saw some Navy ships on the horizon, and saw this old lighthouse.

Then we went to Saint Mary's City, where the Ark and the Dove landed. I got to see how the Native Americans and British colonists lived, and an old Jesuit church.

The next day we went to another park, and I got to go fishing! The park ranger showe me, and then reminded daddy how to fish. I told Grandpa Fosko how I went fishing, and he said he'll give me some fishing stuff next time we visit. I was so excited and proud!

Happy Memorial Day to our veterans!

Crabfest Continued

2010-05-22T21:00:00.004-04:00

I found one more picture on my cell phone. This a picture from the crabfest at St. Ann's from Saturday. Bobby was having so much fun running around with two of his friends, Ariana and Claire. Bobby and Claire are in this picture. They are so cute together!!

Bobby Has Been Busy Lately

2010-05-22T21:00:00.001-04:00

I have had so much fun and have done so many things this month such as soccer, going to Rose Hill Manor in Frederick, MD, being at a birthday party today at Pump It up for my friend Aaron who just turned 5, and eating crab at the Crabfest today at St. Ann's. What a fun filled month. Mommy made this video to show what I have done this month so far. Enjoy.

St. Ann's Carnival

2010-05-22T17:00:00.001-04:00

Today was St. Ann's Carnival. I had a lot of fun playing games and jumping in the moon bounce. I also was excited to see an ice cream truck at the carnival too. Mommy and daddy got me some ice cream too. I had so much fun playing with my friend Kevin who is in this picture.

Happy Mother's Day

2010-05-11T15:23:00.009-04:00

It was a great Mother's Day. Kevin made breakfast, cleaned the dishes and did the laundry. Bobby made me some wonderful things for me. He made a card and a flower for Mother's Day at school. That was just so sweet.

Then we drove to Frederick, Maryland to see the Rose Hill Manor and go on a tour. Bobby really liked seeing the carriages and playing with the old toys and learning how to make yarn out of sheeps' wool.

That evening, my dad took us all out to dinner to celebrate Mother's Day and I even got a rose at the restaurant. Bobby was admiring the flower and soon enough the flower was off the stem. I really did not need the flower since real flowers bother me. "Bobby said I wanted a flower and I told him that the flower will not last if the flower is taken off the stem. The flower will dry out." A little science lesson for him. He said "So it cannot be fixed." and I said no and that we have to be very gentle with flowers. Bobby is so amazing and it is hard to believe what he can actually grasp things and is able to follow conversations very well. Bobby is definitely a sponge and loves to learn!!!! Today was a really good day.

Blast From the Past

2010-05-11T15:00:00.005-04:00

Today daddy took mommy and I to Somerville, NJ to see the apartment buildng that he lived in 20 years ago. He was suprised to see that they tore down the Giant that was across the street from the apartment building.

Remembering a Dear Friend

2010-05-06T22:00:00.000-04:00

We were all at the Bernard's Deli and Cafe in Bernardsville, NJ for lunch before the funeral and Bobby got to play with wiki sticks. He wanted to know how to use them and so I showed him. I asked if he wanted be to use them to spell his name and he said yes. I had completed the the part of BOB and had trouble making the next letter and Kevin said "look what you spelled." He thought it was interesting that I stopped at BOB to take a break and so we took a picture of it. After we took the picture we talked about the memories we had of Bob. Then I decided to try to finish making the letters out of the wiki sticks to spell Bobby's name. We all miss you Bob!!

2010 Race For Hope

2010-05-02T18:13:00.008-04:00

Today mommy, daddy and I walked in a 5K race at the Freedom Plaza in DC in memory of a friend of Aunt Amy. We were on the Green Bananas Team. Mommy and daddy walked the whole 5K and I rode in the stroller which I am growing out of. Of course I have not ridden in a stroller since I was 18 nonths old. After the race, we went to the JW Marriott to have a continental breakfast. I played more than ate. I really liked that there were kids to play with. Pops, Gams, Aunt Amy (and her friends), Uncle Scott and Aunt Abbey were there too. A friend of Mommy's from high school was there too. She even got to catch up with a chilhood friend that mommy, Aunt Amy, and Aunt Karen used to play with. It was a long morning but it was fun and for a great cause.

Coloring Easter Eggs and Playing with Abbey at Pops House

2010-04-04T20:03:00.003-04:00

Last night we decorated Easter eggs and I had so much fun doing it. This afternoon, we went to Pops and Gams house to Gams, Pops, Aunt Amy, Uncle Scott, my cousin Abbey, Aunt Gina, Uncle Anthony, Great Aunt Ann, and Theda. I had so much fun playing with Abbey.

Valentine's Day Party and Grampa Fosko's Birthday

2010-02-28T17:53:00.000-05:00

Blizzard of 2010 in 2 Acts

2010-02-06T20:00:00.000-05:00

What a snowy winter this has been. I did not go out in it because it was higher than I was. Mommy and Daddy said that this was the most snow that they have seen in their whole life. This winter, we had 74 inches of snow. The first pictue is of mommy's and daddy's cars buried in the snow. The second picture is Mommy comparing the snow drift to my height. It was practically my height if not more!

My 4th birthday Party at Chucky E Cheese

2010-01-23T17:31:00.003-05:00

Today was my birthday party and my friends in my class came to it as well as my cousin Abbey. ihad so much fun and even Chuck E came and said Happy Birthday to me. Mommy and Daddy had Pizza and cake. Yummy! I also got to play and use my tokens. Even Mommy's friend Stephanie was there too. I went home and open some more presents. What a fun morning!!!

Celebrating my birthday with Pops and Gams

2010-01-18T17:24:00.003-05:00

Today Pops and Gams took me to a toy store and I got to pick out my birthday presents. Then they took me to a mexican restaurant for lunch. Then I opened some birthday presents at home. Mommy even gave me a small birthday cake. I t was a fun day.

Talking up a storm

2010-01-10T21:08:00.004-05:00

Now that I've been back at school a week, I've picked up some new phrases:
'But mommy and daddy, come on!",
"I have to drink milk so I get strong bones.",
"Bears live in holes in the earth halfway up the mountain.",
"It is winter because it is cold.",
"God loves you and Baby Jesus loves you too.",
"God loves us very much."

Happy New Year!

2010-01-02T20:54:00.001-05:00

I enjoyed going to see my cousin Abbey the day after New Year's. I had told mommy and daddy I wanted to take an airplane ride to see her; I must have been thinking of my South Dakota cousins!

New Year's Eve fun

2009-12-31T20:44:00.000-05:00

During the day, we drove up to Adventure Park, USA outside of Frederick, MD. They have a lot of outdoor activities to do that we'll try out next summer, but they also had this cool inside playground that I enjoyed running through. There was also a kid's arcade, and some neat rides.

Road Trip to see my Fosko cousins

2009-12-28T20:29:00.002-05:00

Two days after Christmas, we went to see my Fosko cousins. We had dinner with Daddy's friend Fr. Bob, who daddy went to St. Charles Seminary with. I enjoyed having dinner with Fr. Bob, he kept me entertained the whole time, and I think showed mommy and daddy a few tricks too. He has many nieces and nephews, and even some grandnieces and grandnephews.

I got this neat Lego set from my cousins, and we gave them books, which daddy had bought at the Scholastic Book Fair at St. Ann's Academy. Here's mommy playing Jenga with Kensie

Christmas Dinner

2009-12-25T21:57:00.003-05:00

What about me? Thai, our cat, seemed to want to go to Christmas Dinner too, since he kept playing with one of the bags of presents. Later on, we went to Pops and Gams for Christmas Dinner. I got a Leapster Zippity, some clothes, puzzles, and a car with play tools. I had lots of fun, especially running around with my cousin Abbey. I also heard that my uncle Anthony had the same kindergarten teacher that I might have in two years at St. Ann's, Mrs. Leftwich.

Santa Came!!

2009-12-25T21:11:00.007-05:00

Christmas morning I kept looking out the front door to see if Santa came. I guess I was expecting to see him at the front door. Then daddy directed me to look under the tree, where I saw all these presents!

I got this book from my teacher, Mrs. Kernan. I better have mommy and daddy read it to me and add it to the list of books I had read to me over Christmas Break. The librarian at St. Ann's (where I go to school), a.k.a. daddy, is hosting a pizza party for the class that reads the most number of pages!

Mommy's friend Dawn gave me these neat Bible story DVD's and a Bible story coloring book.

Santa gave me this neat car plate wall switch, which I helped daddy put up. He put the cat one that was in my room in mommy and daddy's room. Abbey got a wall plate from Santa too.

When I was in South Dakota my cousin Reagan had this cool game called Hungry Hungry Hippo so I was glad to get this for Christmas!

Here I am modelling the alligator towel I got from Nona. I had fun later on using it.

When mommy and her friend went to West Virginia Wesleyan College a few weeks ago, they went shopping for me for Christmas! Now daddy needs to get me some things from his alma mater, Drexel University. You know, daddy, I do have a birthday next month....

Here I am with some more books from Santa. They curiously look like books from the Scholastic Book Fair that St. Ann's had in November. I don't remember seeing Santa at the Book Fair!

I like salad, crab, and veal

2009-12-24T20:00:00.003-05:00

Mommy and daddy have to record this for future reference. Tonight at Mamma Lucia's I had some salad, cucumbers, tomatoes, veal and crab, as well as my ravioli and chocolate cake. This morning we first went to the mall to do some last minute shopping. I enjoyed seeing the decorations at the mall. Then we went to the Rockville Library and I got to read some books while daddy did some genealogy. At church we had a Christmas Pageant with the reading of the Gospel.

Being in someone else's shoes

2009-12-23T22:03:00.004-05:00

Yesterday I tried on daddy's slippers and walked around the house.
We then went to mommy's physical therapist's office, and I found a nice comfortable spot to sit and wait.

No pictures of today, though. Daddy and I tried to build a snowman, but the snow was too powdery. The same with toboganning, I just sank in the snow. We'll have to wait for the next snowfall to try snowmen and sledding again.

I also talked with and saw Rafaela, one of my favorite babysitters. She moved back to her native Brazil, but we were able to do a video phone chat using Skype. I kept asking her to come here, but didn't understand the concept of where Brazil was. I also got to see her mom and sister. It was fun, I got to learn how to say hello, Merry Christmas, and goodbye in Portuguese.

Snowed in

2009-12-21T09:16:00.004-05:00

Here are a few pictures from the Blizzard of 2009.

Our deck and cars are well covered, and snow is piled high after shoveling the sidewalks. Daddy took the SUV out and pushed down the snow to make it easier to shovel. Then he decided to do the same with mommy's car and ended up getting it stuck, providing for some neighborhood entertainment.

We were helping our next door neighbor plow out too. She is leaving on Wednesday to visit her parents in Ghana. She'll have stories to tell them! Mommy also took me toboganning on the sidewalk. I'm not sure I'm ready to tackle the hill on the side of our house.

Talking with my foster family

2009-12-20T10:05:00.002-05:00

Last night mommy woke me up and had a suprise for me. I was able to see my foster mother and family that I lived with in Guatemala. I saw Mama Rosa, Marlon, Marisol, and another grandchild. It was fun sharing pictures through the webcam, and I enjoyed seeing my foster mother, Mamma Rosa. I know she enjoyed seeing me. Daddy shoveled snow this morning so we can get out the front door and to the car.

My gingerbread house

2009-12-19T20:09:00.002-05:00

Mommy put the gingerbread house together and put the icing on so I could help mommy and daddy put the candy on. Then I had a few candies, yum, yum! Now I am getting ready for bed, and looking forward to going sledding tomorrow with mommy and daddy. It's still snowing here!

Blizzard of 2009

2009-12-19T17:50:00.002-05:00

Well, you'll have to look at Abbey's blog for some more pictures of today. This is as close as we got to going outside. Maybe tomorrow once it stops snowing we'll venture outside. Now daddy and I are just waiting for Montgomery County to make their decision about school on Monday and Tuesday. Loudon, Stafford and Morgan County school districts have already made their decision....

Abbey

2009-12-13T20:54:00.002-05:00

Abbey came over to visit today, and I had so much fun! We played with Thai, made some shapes with Play-Doh, and played with my toys.

Playseum

2009-12-12T20:48:00.003-05:00

This morning I woke up and put my sandals on. I said I wanted to go to the beach. Daddy even let me talk with Pops to tell him so. We decided it would be too cold, and Aunt Amy had told mommy of this new place that opened in Bethesda called the Playseum. It had a miniature Safeway, room with balls, art room, and plenty of other things to see and do.

Even better, mommy and daddy said that tomorrow Aunt Amy and my cousin Abbey are coming over for a visit. I can't wait to see them, and to play with Abbey and show her my cat, Thai.

Breakfast with Santa and running track

2009-12-06T20:38:00.002-05:00

Yesterday, I went down to St. Ann's with mommy and daddy to help set up for Breakfast with Santa, and had fun running around with the other kids whose parents were also there setting up. I told mommy and daddy I didn't want to go to church. They didn't listen to me, so I showed them! I decided to have a track meet during church. I thought it was fun. Mommy and daddy were not pleased.

When we came this morning, Monsignor came over to me with a smile on his face, and said he wanted to make sure I survived the night. It was neat eating with a pre-K4 friend of mine, Tommy, and seeing even more kids, and having my picture taken with Santa.

Go Notre Dame!

2009-11-28T20:30:00.000-05:00

Mommy and Aunt Amy are here holding the twins. Before the adults watched the Notre Dame-USC game, we saw a parade of Christmas lights and floats in Gettysburg. It was cold, but us kids had fun anyway. We watched movies downstairs, much more fun than watching Notre Dame lose!

Baptism and my first sleepover

2009-11-27T20:13:00.000-05:00

Today my two new cousins were baptized. Us four older kids had a front-row seat, but could hardly keep quiet or still. I think the babies were quieter than we were!

After the baptism I had my very first sleepover with my cousins! While we were watched by my Uncle Corey's cousin Jenna, mommy and daddy and the rest of the adults went to Pierre to see the Christmas lights in the State Capitol building, and where my Uncle Corey sits in the state Senate chambers.

We're leaving on a jet plane!

2009-11-26T18:50:00.000-05:00

Today we left for our much anticipated trip to South Dakota to see my two new cousins, Madison and Kennedy! What I enjoyed most about the plane trip out was seeing my cousin Abbey, and Pops and Gams. We only live 25 minutes from my cousin, but we hadn't seen her since daddy started working at St. Ann's. On the trip out I kept fighting with Abbey over what video we were going to watch, and constantly wanted to sit in Pop's and Gam's laps, even when Pops was trying to read the newspaper!

We got to see my new cousins after an hour ride from Pierre to Gettysburg. Pops and Gams certainly look proud holding their two newest grandchildren!

While the adults enjoyed talking, drinking, and eating Thanksgiving dinner, us kids enjoyed racing these cars in this humungous shed! My cousin Reagan even decided to play bumper cars once, which didn't go over too well with her mommy. Oh yeah, we did manage to eat in the midst of all the fun things to do: cars, moonbounce, pass the pickle, and just running around. We wore ourselves out!

Where The Wild Things Are!

2009-11-24T23:23:00.000-05:00

As promised, there is a video of mommy dramatizing the Wild Rompus with the other NAEYC conference participants. Here is the link to see the video: http://pictures.sprintpcs.com/share.do?invite=zEGrPE578Y8D9YUY88Ih&shareName=MMS&messageState=RETRIEVED. Just paste the link in the address bar. If you know how to save this video to the computer and how to upload it, please let mommy know. Enjoy it!!

Mommy got to play today!!

2009-11-22T18:59:00.000-05:00

Mommy and Stephanie went to the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) annual conference in DC this past weeek. On the first day (Wednesday), they both went to a Play workshop. Mommy got to play for 25 minutes and she had so much fun. She played with tree trunk pieces and built this with them. I really liked it. Stephanie even made of video of mommy during the conference doing the "Wild Rompus" from the Where The Wild Things Are. We will post it later.

Oink Oink shots and the Brotherhood of the Travelling Pants

2009-11-07T13:30:00.000-05:00

Daddy and I got our swine flu shots this morning. I was OK until we went up to the stage where they were giving the shots, and I was scared seeing all these other kids crying. Daddy went first, and it didn't hurt me one bit, he said I was so brave!

I have to go back next month to get my second dose, but daddy is all done, except for his regular flu shot. I got mine already.

Two weeks ago I needed an extra pair of pants at school. Daddy forgot to return them, so yesterday I wore them to school. When daddy said to my teacher that we'll wash them and return them Monday, I said 'I can take them off now', to which daddy and my teacher said no, keep my pants on.

Halloween 2009

2009-11-01T00:00:00.000-04:00

This is a picture of me in my puppy costume. Our new kitten Thai is in the picture with me. I really like him and he likes playing with me too. I had so much fun on Halloween. At school we walked in a parade and we also had a halloween party as well. Also at school daddy took me through the haunted house in the library. I did not get scared until the end. After I ate dinner mommy and daddy took me out trick or treating. I was scared of the doors that had skeletons on the door. Mommy and daddy told me that it was not real, but I did not believe that. I also saw a jack-o-lantern in a window at one house and that really scared me. Mommy told me that it would not hurt me and I would not believe that either.

The best part of the evening was getting a lot of candy. Then we came home and I helped mommy and daddy give out candy to the kids who came to our house. We gave out five bags of candy in an hour.

Now that Halloween is over, I am looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with Pops, Gams, Aunt Amy, Uncle Scott, Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey and my cousins, Reagan, Harrison and Abbey. I am also excited about meeting my new cousins Madison and Kennedy (Reagan and Harrison's baby sisters).

A New Addition To The Fosko Family!

2009-10-29T01:00:00.000-04:00

Mommy brought home a new kitten last night. He is a chocolate point siamese and was born on July 4, 2009. Stephanie helped mommy to pick out a name for him. Mommy had looked at a list of Siamese names. Stephanie thought that since he was born on July 4th, which means independence/freedom that it would be appropriate to name the kitten Thai. Thai is Siamese for free. I got to play with him today and he came right up to me and wanted me to let him. I love Thai so much. Here are a few pictures of him.

I Have Two Cousins Named Madison!!

2009-10-06T20:13:00.000-04:00

Mommy and daddy told me that I have two new cousins Madison Rose and Kennedy Lynn were born this afternoon. I cannot wait to meet them. Now mommy and daddy have 6 nieces and 1 nephew. Also today was my cousin Madison Rose Fosko's 4th birthday. Welcome to the family Madison and Kennedy. I love you very much.

Having Fun With Stephanie's Friend

2009-09-26T01:28:00.000-04:00

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!!

2009-09-20T22:23:00.000-04:00

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!!

2009-09-12T22:12:00.000-04:00

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

2009-09-08T18:00:00.000-04:00

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

2009-09-07T21:52:00.000-04:00

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.

2009-09-06T22:18:00.000-04:00

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

2009-09-05T22:03:00.000-04:00

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.

2009-09-05T02:10:00.000-04:00

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.

It Is That Time Again

2009-08-30T14:51:00.000-04:00

I had so much fun with summer camp this year. We went on many field trips like to a farm, museums, Chuck E Cheese, and I even liked water play every Thursday. Friday was my last day of summer camp and tomorrow school starts again. I will be in the 3 year old preschool class once again and then I will move into the 4 year old (pre-k) classroom in December and I will be in that class until June of 2011. I am looking forward to starting school again.

Back To School Bash in Downtown Silver Spring

2009-08-29T23:27:00.000-04:00

Daddy and I thought it was time for mommy to get out of the house. We went to Montgomery Mall to pick up her rings and to have her walk. Once we left Shaw's Jewelers it was time to get mommy home to take a nap. After naptime, Daddy and Mommy took me to downtown Silver Spring for a special event they were having. There was Arts and Crafts, face painting, a moonbounce, etc. As you can see I had so much fun jumping in the moonbounce. Mommy and Daddy do not let me jump on things in the house, so I was very happy to know that I could jump in the moonbounce.

During the festivities, there was an entertainment portion. Gymboree Play and Music performed at this time. They did a Michael Jackson tribute (Happy Birthday MJ!!). Gymboree danced to Michael's music. They did a great job!! I was also glad that I got to see Ms. Kim and Ms. Rita. I have not seen them in a long time and missed them.

I was tired when we got home, but I had so much fun jumping and listening to the music.

Thank you Stephanie!!

2009-08-22T18:00:00.000-04:00

From August 19th to August 22nd, mommy's friend Stephanie, stayed at our house to help mommy during the first few days of recuperation from surgery. I had so much fun playing with Stephanie. Stephanie thank you for helping take care of mommy and helping daddy as well while mommy recuperates.

Pop's Vacation

2009-08-11T21:24:00.000-04:00

Mommy and Daddy took to the beach for Pop's vacation. I had so much fun with Pops, Gams, Abbey, Amy, and Scott. Amy even brought the pool and blew it up and added water to it so that Abbey and I could play in it. We even got to blow gymboree bubbles. Mommy and daddy even took me to the mall in Salisbury, MD and I got to play on a John Dere truck. It was such a nice weekend and we did not want to go home.

Dinosaurs And A Water Monster!!

2009-07-26T15:09:00.001-04:00

Today mommy and daddy took me to downtown Silver Spring to see Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. I really loved the movie, especially when they showed the baby dinosauars. Of course there were other animals, but I like dinosaurs the best. There were a few times I got scared when they showed the big dinosaurs roar. Then we walked from the movie theater to the fountain so that I could play in it. I had so much fun that I did not want to go home. Mommy and daddy told me we had to go home because I had to take a nap. Party poopers!

Water And Donuts Please!!

2009-07-25T20:06:00.000-04:00

Tonight mommy and daddy took me to Rockville Town Square to walk around. There were even rocks that you could climb on and jump off of. Do not worry mommy and daddy would only let me jump off the low rocks.

Then mommy daddy and I walked to the fountain. There were other kids in the fountain getting wet. I did not want to go in the fountain. All of a sudden I kept walking close then running back and after doing this a dozen or more times, I finally went in to the water. Boy did I get soaked, of course I did not mind at all.

We noticed there was a Fractured Prune there so we went there to get a donut before we went home. Yummy!! It was a chocolate glazed donut with chocolate chips on top. Mommy had a peppermint patty (mint green icing with chocolate chips) and daddy had a chocolate glazed donut with coconut.

Then it was time to go home. As soon as we got home the rain was coming down in buckets and all three of us got soaked just walking from the car to the front door. Then it was time to go to bed. I was so tired but it was so much fun. Goodnight to everyone. I love you all.

Rockville Sports Plex: Soccer

2009-07-25T19:58:00.001-04:00

Today mommy and daddy took me to play soccer in an indoor field at the Rockville Sportsplex in Rockville, MD. Mommy and daddy said that if I liked the trial class they would enroll me for the Fall. The class I was in was the Hoppers (Beginners) class for 3 to 4 year olds. I had a lot of fun kicking the ball around before class started. However, when class started and they were having cirle time, I started to cry and did not do what the coaches said. I really do not like structure at all. Then I said; "I do not want to play soccer." Mommy and daddy took me home and decided that we would try another trial class in the Fall.
