Come Play With Me -- I Graduated!

Grandpa has been taking me to the YMCA every week for a special class called Come Play With Me. Yesterday was the last day of class. I can't believe I have been going since September! Mommy took me yesterday because she was off from work. She was nervous, but I showed her the ropes.

First I told her where to park. Then I showed he the room where we wait for Miss Judy. Next, we went upstairs to play with toys and balls and instruments. After that, it's snack time...my favorite. We made a craft and then it was time for something special and different -- GRADUATION!

Miss Judy gave me my craft and two stickers and a very special certificate. I heard her tell Mommy that I have come a long way this year and she was happy to hear I would be going to a 2-year-old preschool group in the fall. Maybe I will come back and play with Miss Judy too ... you know, now that I graduated and know how to play!

A Memorable Memorial Day

Granpa led off the Bayville Memorial Parade again this year. He looks so awesome in his American Legion uniform! This is my third parade, but this year, I knew how to say, "padade" and was ready to find Grandpa AND Grandma. Grandma marched with the Methodist Church.

Check me out HERE and HERE and Parades one and two. I was two months old and a year and two months old, respectively.




Aunt Amber and Eric met Daddy, Mommy and me to watch the parade. Aunt Amber let me fly like an airplane while we were waiting for the marching.
Aunt Amber and Mommy didn't plan to look alike, but they were super patriotic in their red shirts.

There's Grandma!!!!!
After the "padade" I went to Grandma and Grandpa's. Aunt Amber put these goggles on me. I could have used them in Cyrus' pool!
Here's Grandpa. he's my Airforce hero, you know.
Grandma and Grandpa went off to lunch at the Legion, but not before I got to take this nice picture with them. Look! Grandma's got a red shirt too!!!
Daddy and I moved the car so Grandma and Grandpa could leave. Did you know I'm an excellent driver?

Pool Time in PA

Mom and Dad took me to Pennsylvania to see my buddy Cyrus on Sunday. Blake and Claudine were there too and Cyrus' aunt, two uncles and grandpa too! We had a very busy day. Luckily I took a nap on the ride there. First Cyrus and I played ball in his HUGE yard. Then we went swimming in the little spa pool. The heater broke so the pool was chilly, but I didn't care. We warmed up in the sun by the sandbox and then Dad joined me for more swimming.
Here's Daddy!


Jump Daddy!
We swam around until dinner time and my lips didn't even turn blue! What a nice day!

Adventures at Adventureland

On Saturday, Mom went to a baby shower for her friend Jeanne. Dad and I dropped her off and then we went to Adventureland. Granny and Papa took me there a few weeks ago and I couldn't stop talking about it, so Dad made arrangements to meet his friends Ron and Danielle there. They have a son named Jake who is a little older than me. We met once before at the Museum of Natural History. Jake and I went on some rides together, but I was being a little "subdued," Daddy said. As you can see, I was VERY serious about my rides.

My Personal Juggler

My friend Cory stayed with us for a week before he went back to Michigan for the summer. By the way, Cory, my favorite piece to put in place in my United States puzzle is Michigan. I yell, "Cory lives!" as I put it in its place.

One of Cory's many talents is juggling. From the minute he would come into my room until he left, I demanded juggling. He's such a good friend, he would always entertain me! Now I want Mom to learn to juggle. I try to show her how Cory did it, but she doesn't follow my directions very well. Silly Mommy!

Playin' with Play-Doh

Sometimes, the only way Mom and Dad can get me to stay in one place for more than 1 minute is to give me Play-Doh. I love to roll it around and make it into balls, which I throw even though Mom and Dad both tell me not to. Sometimes I will stuff it into my cookie cutters, but mostly, I just turn it into balls to throw.

There's a baby in there

Especially for Farrell:

Mom and Dad ask me lots and lots, "What's in Mommy's belly?" I tell them, "Baby!" Sometimes I say, "Baby brother!" and sometimes I say, "Baby sister!" I guess we'll know in less than 9 weeks. The baby should come around July 15, the doctors say. Mom is not too keen on having pictures taken, but when Farrell sent her an email about her belly being blogless, he had this picture snapped staight away!

Mom Song

When Mom and I are driving home from Bayville, sometimes this song comes on my radio station, Kidsplace Live. Mom laughs for 3 minutes straight. She wanted to share it with you.

It's Mommy's Day

Mom and Dad forgot the camera on Mother's Day so there aren't too many pictures. Grandpa's battery was almost dead, but we managed to squeeze out a few pictures. We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house and Granny and Papa came to visit. I was mostly a very good boy on Mother's Day. In the morning Daddy and I gave Mommy her presents. She is wearing the necklace and earrings we gave her in this picture. Then we let her go back to sleep and Daddy took me to the store to buy bacon. Daddy made eggs and bacon and toast and coffee and didn't let Mommy do anything, not even bring the coffee to the table!
