My Crowning Achievement

And my crowning achievement for the week is…eating my first s'more without it falling apart! It was, however a messy experience filled with screaming due to the melty chocolate and gooey marshmallow. I don't think I have been this covered in food since eating cake on my first birthday. I will look forward to eating another s'more soon and I think this time Mommy and Daddy will be prepared with wet wipes to clean up the mess!
The s'more was quite an achievement, although the real crowning moment of the weekend was watching the horse racing. It was apparently a historical moment that I witnessed. I watched a horse named American Pharaoh win the Triple Crown in horse racing while sitting at the dinner table eating my dinner one slow bite at a time. I can't figure out why everyone else rushed to eat their dinner, when if they had all eaten slowly like me and taken an hour to eat, they could have enjoyed dinner AND a horse race.
This week was my last week at Tracey's pre-school. Cora was invited to join us again this week. As a special treat for Tracey, Cora and I sang a Bon Jovi duet of "You Give Love a Bad Name." She was quite impressed with our singing and drumming. I will miss walking over to school at Tracey's house next year and I thank her for getting me accustomed to being around others and away from Mommy. If that's the only thing I learned this year, than I think it was a crowning achievement!

My favorite pastime - pretending the pool noodle is a leaf blower.

Visiting the ducklings!
