Clown-Tastic!

The Valentine's Day Holiday week was kicked off with some excellent activities including a Saturday night rodeo followed by a Sunday afternoon circus! The rodeo was cool because we had front row seats for all the bull riding action. Lots of the cowboys had trouble staying on the bulls, but by the end of the evening, we saw a few stay on for the entire 8 seconds. The clown was funny and scary all at the same time because he did a show with a loud BANG! I much preferred the clowns at the circus, mostly because they didn't do anything scary. My favorite part was the countdown to the beginning of the circus: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Blastoff!!! Aside from asking when the circus was going to be over every minute I really did enjoy it, especially the popcorn treat after intermission! The performers did some crazy things that I have never seen!

Valentine's Day was enjoyable. I traded Valentine's with all my classmates and had a party at school. At the party we put the stems of carnations into dye and it made the tips a cool color. I chose green dye which turned my tips yellow! I used the flower, and other assorted items and flowers to decorate the dinner table that night, and the next few nights for dinner. Maybe I will be an interior designer when I grow up because I sometimes worry about what I'm going to be. I'm constantly complaining to Mommy about not knowing what I want to be.
This past weekend I went to my first real birthday party at Ethan's house. I had such a fun time playing with all my friends from school. The next day I had a playdate with my friend Andrew. Mommy thought it was funny how we would sit on the tire swing chatting and giggling. I've become quite the little social creature!

Happy Groundhog Day

There was need for the Groundhog to tell us whether spring is coming. It's already here. Nevertheless, I did enjoy the Groundhog craft we made at school; I wear it quite well! When we aren't outside enjoying the weather, I've been trying to practice writing my letters and numbers. Mommy got me a calendar for my room so I can practice writing numbers and understanding days, months and years. On thing I do love doing is writing on the white board. Mommy taught me how to draw an eagle and I enjoy drawing them now. The other day I was drawing constellations too. The other day, Jeff stopped by to visit us and he was drawing superheroes with sidewalk chalk on our driveway. I loved how he drew all my favorites, especially Batman and the Hulk, and perhaps he will inspire me to keep drawing. I was disappointed when it rained overnight and all the drawings were gone!

Over the weekend I went roller skating for my first time ever! I thought it was a little easier than ice skating and Mommy was impressed at how well I did. I skated with her most of the time, but by the time we had to leave, I could skate around on my own. Luckily Cora's friend Nora was fun to skate with because she went the same speed as me!
