Summer 2010

It's been a hot one and so we've been busy despite the heat. I've been eating popsicles to cool me down but I get annoyed by the stick, so just put it on the table and then lick it. It's quite the trend as now the other kids at daycare are doing it, too.

I love animals. Last week the critter van came and I tried to kiss all of them including the snake, hedgehog and bunny rabbits. So today, mommy took me to the zoo and that bored me because I couldn't go up and touch the bears or tigers. I got the most excited when I noticed that the black bear had a ball in his cage just like the big red one outside Target.

I'm growing up fast (or so they say) and now I have a little 'tude. My favorite word is NO, but I say it so sweetly that my parents hold back their giggles. I'm quite the daredevil, as well and not only do I not listen when they tell me not to climb the table and couches but I also try to jump off them.

Some of my new hobbies include building blocks and stacking items. I still enjoy buckling the chair seats and could spend 20-minutes just buckling and unbuckling them. I'm helpful around the house. I often get mommy and daddy their shoes when I want them to go outside. I also take my dishes out of the drawers but normally just leave them there.

We've taken a few road trips this summer. First to Boston where we walked around the city all day and then went to a family birthday party and the weekend after to Newport, RI. As you can see from the photo on the right, I didn't want to leave.
