Summer Highlights - June/Mid July

Lots of fun in the sun this summer. Here are some of the highlights:
-Visited Cleveland to meet Scarlett and hang with Cousin Elliott. I have a great memory so recollect that Scarlett got me Rosie the train and Elliott bought me Kevin.
-Every weekend is a train extravaganza. I am obsessed with Thomas the Train and so every Saturday or Sunday I want to go on a train adventure, which just means mommy and daddy will buy me more trains and visit the toy store.
-The benefit of loving Thomas is that I have learned all my colors and numbers. Thomas is blue and #1, other blue trains include Gordon and Thomas. Emily, Henry and Percy are green and James is red.
-I'm a funny guy: I told my daddy the other day that a pineapple was in my ear. I was poking in my ear and out dropped my tube (with a lot of icky wax.) I thought it was a pineapple.
-I've been to the beach a few times. We live a mile away from the Long Island Sound so I've been there with my friends Brady and Charlie and have done picnic dinners a few times with our family and theirs.
- I still sing a lot. I often make up my own lyrics about my engines to popular songs like "Ring Around the Rosie" and "Old MacDonald." However, I also know some of the real words to the Thomas theme song and sing that with Thomas Percy...dah, dah, dah and it is close to the real tune.
-I'm still eating the same foods. Grilled Cheese, pizza, chicken, meatballs, brocoli, bananas and blueberries are my standards. Chocolate milk, cookie monster cookies and Hood ice cream are my favorites. I've recently tried a real hamburger.
- I can put on my crocs by myself, insert the straw in the juicebox, sit on the potty ("I'm trying") and pretend to read my own books. I still enjoy doing puzzles but am more mesmerized by playing with my Thomas trains for hours upon hours.
-The iPad and iPhone are great, I know how to use them well. We've started to watch Thomas books on digital DVDs, which is pretty cool.
-Visited Newport, RI again this year. Just a beautiful place. We walked around a lot and watched the boats. I saw a marketing sign for the Thomas live show in September so mommy and daddy say we need to come back. xoxo
