Spring Forward

Greetings!

Don't I look so grown up in this outfit? Daddy said it looked like a first day of school outfit. Mommy reminded him that we usually don't wear sweaters in early September. Poor daddy.

I got over my mysterious illness and Mommy was really happy that for the first time, she didn't catch whatever bug I had. It caused me to have some late night wake ups as I wasn't really eating much during the day and waking up hungry (my parents think). One day, after a particularly bad night, I exclaimed at lunch "I tired! Need nap!"

The theme this week at school was dinosaurs so I really liked that. You can always tell if I like the theme of the week because it's the only time I do the art project at school. Don't get me wrong--I love doing art projects, but it has to be REALLY good to take some time away from me getting to play in the large motor skills room with all the slides, cars, tricycles, basketball hoops, etc.

I was a good dancer again this week at dance. I got many froggy stamps on my hands so I was pretty thrilled with that. My dance teacher's name is Kathy, but I never call her that. I call her "Dance". When we leave I make sure to go up to her and say "Bye Dance! See you soon!"

This weekend we got to visit a baby! He's only three weeks old so he's really sleepy. I tried my best to wake him up--but not even my toddler antics could wake that kid up!

I really love babies as you know so I was really excited to meet him. I really wanted him to go in his swing. Luckily he finally woke up before we were going to leave so I got to see him swing a bit. What I really wanted to do was push him in the swing--but we all know that I'm not a gentle creature and Mommy said he was too fragile at this point. I was also surprised that he didn't want to play with any of his toys. I'll have to teach him how they all work. He made a big impression on me though. That night when I was saying my prayers I prayed for me, Mommy, Daddy and "tiny baby".

Since our church meets Sunday nights, we went to the children's museum this morning. It's the best time to go because it's not very busy if you get there early. Toward the end of our time there it got more crowded, but at first there were hardly any kids there. My first stop is always to say hi to Ronald McDonald after getting out of the skyway.

One of the new exhibits was about art. This section was dedicated to the famous Farmer and Wife painting. They had an old fashioned table with fake food that farmers used to eat. I was particularly interested in the corn muffins. I called them "cakes" and took every single one out of the pan, and then put them all back in again.

My favorite part of this exhibit was the chicken you could ride. It was awesome.

Next we did my usual favorites like the water tables, and the concrete blocks. This is me driving the concrete hauling truck.

Of course I had to star in my own music video again.

The other new exhibit was all about Legos and castles. I started building with Legos. Then Daddy read the sign that said it was for kids three and up only.

So we went to the big blocks which were for kids 4 and under.

Before we left, I got one last photo opportunity. Mona Lisa has never looked like this before!

What else is new with me?

• On our way to school on Wednesday I noticed my Dora DVD was in the front console. I told Mommy I wanted to watch it. She said that the DVD player wasn't in the car so we couldn't watch it (plus we were going on a 3 minute drive!) I said, "I know....backpack!" I seem to think that my fake Dora backpack has the same magical powers as Dora's backpack and can just produce whatever I need if I yell "Backpack!"

• One night when Mommy was putting me to bed and Daddy was leaving, Mommy called to Daddy saying, "Brian, can you take out her garbage can?" Daddy came back, got the can, and left. I then yelled, "BRIAN! BRIAN!" Mommy was surprised at this and asked me who Brian was. I said, matter-of-factly, "Daddy." Then when we were saying our prayers and saying who we wanted to pray for I said, "Me....Thomas....Mommy....Brian......."

• One morning when Mommy got me up I said, "Mommy I miss(ed) you!"

• We were playing in the basement one day and I went into the guest bedroom. I noticed a fan in the corner of the room and said "Fan! On! Grandmom's house!" When I stay at Grandmom's house we always put a fan on for white noise, otherwise I ask Grandmom "what's that?" every time the sump pump goes off.

• If someone is carrying me (usually to get some place faster or to keep me on task if we're trying to get some place in particular) I try to get down and say " I heavy!"

Below is a video of me at the museum today. Since it wasn't so crowded, I got lots of turns on this. I really liked sending the turtles down the shoot the best!

I also included two videos from last week at Nickelodeon Universe. The bus ride was scary for some kids and they were crying but not me! I thought it was great!

See you next week!

P.S. Can you tell Mommy not only remembered to write down the funny things I do in the week, but also managed to not lose the list! Way to go Mommy!
