Birthday Party #1

2018-01-21

This week I missed a day of school for a doctor appointment that took a long time. Daddy bought me some ice cream for lunch because I was good and listened to the doctor.

We worked on Mommy's seed bank project this week - Daddy, Mommy, and John built a display cart for the seed packets people can choose from. I helped a little, but mostly I played at the rec center while they worked.

On Wednesday I had a really good day at school.

Doing my best.

I only had half a day of class on Thursday, so I had some time to work while Mommy still had class. After she was done, I went to stay with Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne.

Helping Daddy move books again.

Books are heavy....

Mommy and Daddy surprised me on Friday: we got a hotel for the weekend and the hotel had a waterslide!

With GG, excited about my birthday surprise.

On the waterslide!

Saturday we went swimming in the morning and had lunch with GG. Then lots of people came to our hotel room for cake and presents: Great-grandma Darlene, Diane, GG, Grandpa Al, Grandma Wynne, David, John, Danny, and Billy. It was crowded. I got some cool presents and lots of money to help pay for zoo camp. Thanks everyone!

Super excited for more LEGO!

After cake and presents and a nap, I went swimming again - with Mommy and GG!

Watch me on the waterslide!

Planning what I am doing when I get home.

We had a relaxing morning in the hotel, and I lost a tooth at breakfast! After we checked out we went to buy some groceries and then stopped at Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne's for a little bit before we went home.

At home I built two of my new LEGO sets and took a bath and went to bed. It was a good birthday weekend - and next week I have my party for all of my friends from school!

Take care!
