This summer we were so busy!! We started it off by taking our very first family trip to San Diego! Just the three of us drove down and stayed with Aunt Leslie and Uncle Gary. We had so much fun! I was an angel in the car going and coming home... slept for a couple hours, read books, played with my games, and talked with Mommy and Daddy. They're pretty lucky to have me! We went to Sea World, the Zoo, and the beach and I loved every minute of it! Sea World was awesome! The dolphins made me mad because they splashed me but other than that, I loved it! I even got to ride on my first kids roller coaster. Then we spent time with my cousin's Rachel and Charlie. What a great vacation! The beach was cold but daddy and I still made the best of it and played in the water. (Mommy bundled up and took pictures.)
Once or twice a week, mommy would go into work and I would go to school, which was fun too! We had water day and painting fun!!! Then we went on another vacation to Pinetop with Uncle Chris and Penny. We got to stay in a cabin and play outside in the woods. We even got to go fishing too!!! We caught one and I got to play with it, but don't worry, we let it go! When Mommy wasn't working, we were hanging out with Nanie and Mema. We had lots of play dates at Mema's house and I loved every minute of it! Mema is doing much better and she has started getting out of the house more. Starting to feel more like normal again :)
We had lots of BBQs, playtime with friends, and fun gatherings! I even got to spend the weekend with Gramps and Nonie so Mommy and Daddy could take a little trip themselves (twice!). We were busy busy this summer but having so much fun!
I've been learning A LOT too! Check it out:
*I am learning sign language at school. I know words like, family, mommy, daddy, sister (yes I ask for one all the time!!!), play, please, thank you, and lots more! I'm even teaching Daddy... Mommy already knows this!
*I learned my numbers and am now working on my letters. We play with them in the bathtub every night! Daddy's a great teacher!
*I'm learning lots of great words like; beautiful, wonderful, delicious, impressed, and much more! I copy everything!
*I sing lots of songs on the radio and actually pick up the words after only hearing them once or twice
*I have a great sense of humor now. I love playing tricks on people and am getting better at hide and seek too!
*BIG NEWS: I'm in a big boy bed now!!! When I first got it, I was calling mommy to come get me first thing in the morning (seriously like 5 AM!!!) so she bought me a clock that tells me when I'm allowed to get up. Now it turns green at 6:30 and that's when I know I can get up. It only took me a couple days to figure that out and now I'm a pro.
*I've started to get scared of things... the other day I told Daddy there was a monster in my room, and for a little while, the bear in the movie, Brave scared me. I guess that means I'm growing up.
I'm becoming quite the big boy now!! Lots of fun and full of questions. This is Mommy and Daddy's favorite age!!
Startin' the summer out with a BBQ full of friends, family, and bubbles. It was a blast!!
