Summer Has Been So Much Fun So Far

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.

Starting from July 5th to July 15th, I will be taking swimming lessons too. It is a class to help me get comfortable with the water and learn the basics.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
