A New Addition To The Fosko Family!

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!!

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

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.

It Is That Time Again

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

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!!

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

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!!

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!!

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

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.

I can ride my tricycle now!

Daddy didn't have his camera outside with him, but I was able to pedal my tricycle myself on the sidewalk. Mommy and Daddy were thinking maybe I needed a smaller tricycle, but all I needed was some practice. Gee, with educators as parents, it certainly took them long enough to figure that one out!!! Practice makes perfect! I also should mention that we had dinner with Tim on Friday night at my favorite eating place, BJ Pumpernickles in Olney.

Happy 8th Anniversary Mommy and Daddy!

When mommy and daddy went out for their anniversary, Rafaela came over to babysit me. I love it when she comes to babysit, and we have so much fun! When mommy and daddy came home, she was reading with me from this children's Bible. Sadly, she's going back to her native Brazil in a few weeks, but plans to come back to go to college. I'll miss her!!!!

My pom-poms

Here I am practicing being a cheerleader for West Virginia Wesleyan, and also showing off my new Spiderman shoes! I reminded daddy about the shoes when I saw this picture.
