Dirt and Fire Trucks

Last weekend was way fun. Friday after school, my friend Hope got to come over to my house for playtime and snack. After we did the slides at the park, had some string cheese, and played trains, mommy said it was fine to go check out the newest dirt pile right next to my house. We shoveled and scooped and even got to see the big front loader up close!

Then, on Saturday, Daddy got a whole bunch of musical instruments that I can play! I really like to do the drums and daddy does the guitar. His friends all come over and they are in a band! Bobby or daddy sings. Really loud. We're pretty good and are talking about a tour.

To round the weekend out, we went to the french fries store on Sunday and Fireman Sam was there! I got to sit in the truck and all of the sirens went off. I wasn't so sure I liked those- they were very loud. The big white ladder went up and up and up. I really liked the yellow fire truck the best. Plus, Baby Biss and Tim and Heather were there. Tim really wished he could drive the fire truck like I did. Maybe next time, Tim.

Catchin' Up

I play soccer. Well, I go to the park on Saturdays wearing my armadillo legs and follow the ball (sometimes) from one colored flag to another. Like I said, I play soccer. I'm ready for the MLS. I can run faster than mommy and sometimes I throw the team for a loop by dodging the game altogether and chasing after the ducks on the baseball field next door.

Also, I build birdhouses. I can do the screwdriver, hammer, and sawing all by myself. The very instant I get it together, it is imperative that I take it apart. The very instant that I take it apart, I need to put it back together. It's a constant building process at my workbench. I always have a job to do! Just call me Breckin the Builder!

So, let me tell you about bowling and dancing. Daddy likes to play bowling in the living room with the white buttons and mommy like to dance in the kitchen while she cooks the dinner. I think it's hilarious! I think daddy bowls better when he carries me with him. Sometimes we say Yes! and sometimes we say Oh Poop! Both make me giggle.

Mommy listens to Dan Zanes- my favorite song is elephants. And skip to my lou. And the babadoowop song. And Old Joe Clark. Actually, I like all of them. I love to dance with mommy- the faster we spin, the better! If you've never danced in the kitchen or bowled in the living room, you should really try it.

Easter, Grandpa Bob, and Tools. Oh my!

Finally! It's not too cold to go outside and I take every chance I get. I can see the playground from my playroom window and anytime I see the toddler squad on the slides, Mommy or Daddy takes me out! We had a BIG block party (I wonder why there wasn't any blocks) and for some crazy reason, the mommies and daddies drove their cars to the middle of the street so no one else could use the road and we got to drive our trikes all over the real road! We got plastic eggs with treats inside! They were hidden in the grass!

Also, I got to meet mommy's baba and eat lemons and chocolate cake at his new house. I really like his new house- he has his own restaurant!

Daddy and mommy got me a new car seat- they said it's for when I grow just one more inch and it doesn't have as many buckles as the one I use now. I think I need to eat more so I can use it soon- I really like to sit in it. I feel taller! So, I'm trying to help them by eating as much as I can. My favorite breakfast is two pancakes, two eggs, and a big glass of orange juice... Daddy says I eat more than mommy. Whatever. Anyway, I had to help daddy use the tape measure and wanted to put it on my tool belt- the only problem was I only had my jammies. They worked fine for me!

Happy Spring everyone. Love you.
