Just Checking In...

Dad has been out of town for a week so it's been just Mom and me. I've been being a big help around the house...helping to sweep the floor, wash the windows, fold the laundry! Whatever Mom does, I really try to do it the same way. If Mom sits on her knees to do something, I sit on my knees...if Mom makes a heavy sigh, I make a heavy sign...if Mom tosses something in the hamper, I toss something in the hamper. I figure if I do all that Mom knows "I got'r back" when it comes to keeping the house going while Dad is away! I've been working hard at preschool and home, learning how to retell the stories we are reading at school. So far the past couple of weeks I've been working on The Three Little Pigs and Goldilocks. Ms Doris, one of my teachers, says I get to be the wolf when we act them out on Friday at Circle Time. She says I make the best scary monster sound! Plus, I can say "I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down" on my talker! Walking has been a hard again this week. My therapists say they've never met a kid like me who has so many ups and downs for this long...they say I hav'em stumped! Hopefully my new SMO's will come in next week. Maybe they will help my walking get better again. I would love to someday try out soccer or t-ball but really want my legs to feel better so I can show everyone how fast I am! Until next time...say a prayer for Daddy that he makes it home fast and safe tomorrow!

Thunderwolves are Champions!

Congratulations to the CSU-Pueblo Thunderwolves women's basketball team...2008 RMAC Champions! Mom and I went to the game tonight to cheer them on. I made sure everyone knew I was a Thunderwolf fan by wearing on my T-wolves tatoo! My friend Nathan was there and he had THREE tatoos on his face! J.J. Jumper was there. He gave me a new backpack and t-shirt. I just had to tell Mary good luck before the game. Mary is my all time favorite basketball player....and all time favorite babysitter! Dad didn't get to come to the game because he is in Arizona recruiting so next year I can cheer his team on in the championship game!

Birthday at Bounce Town!

What a great time! Ella had her fourth birthday party at Bounce Town tonight. Almost all of my friends from preschool were there...we're talking over twenty kids bouncing everywhere. Peyton was there to! It was her first birthday party ever! There were alot of extra big bouncing things...even a bouncing obstacle course that Mom did with me! The bouncing was tons of fun but I could have stayed at the basketball shooting station all night long! After we bounced and bounced and bounced, we had pizza and cake. Mom said it was a good thing we didn't bounce second...might have been a little more of a clean up job! Ella opened up lots of presents. I would have helped her but I was to busy playing with the balloon I got at the party. Ella's mom said Ella was a "leap year baby"...I wonder if that's why she had the party at Bounce Town where we jumped around alot?

Welcome Home Thunderwolves!

After two years of playing at the Events Center, Massari Arena finally opened. It was so exciting last week as we all celebrated. All the talk at preschool between my friends and me was about getting ready to go to first game since the rennovation was complete. On Friday everyone wore there ThunderPup shirts. Good thing we did because Chris, Ty and Jazz suprised us with a visit to preschool. They are all players on Daddy's team. I was so excited when I saw they come to celebrate with my friends and me. They played basketball on our playground with us and did all kinds of fun things. Then Friday night we went to the game.
There were tons of friends and teachers from preschool there. We all got to sit beside each other the entire game so that meant lots of dancing and cheering! It was the best game ever! We were all awe-struck watching Rocky, the Denver Nuggests mascot, do some amazing tricks at halftime. And the night was made perfect by a Thunderwolf win! The season is over now...I'm already anxious for next year's season to start!

Wheels on My Shoes???

I think Mom needs to rethink her latest idea! She actually had me wear shoes with wheels on them...some people call it rollerskating! As if walking without wheels on my shoes isn't enough of a challenge! I let her know pretty quickly that I wasn't quite as excited about the idea as she was. One attempt to stand and I immediately knew it was time for a sit down! I was able to talk Mom into letting me use the wheels on my walker instead. So, while everyone else went around the rink on their shoes with wheels...I did a couple laps with my walker...an idea that makes much more sense to me. We were at Skate America for Alejandro's birthday. He's a good friend of mine from preschool. It was tons of fun and we got to eat one of my favorite foods...ice cream sandwhiches. I loved watching Alejandro open his birthday presents. When it came time for him to open the present from me...I decided he needed a little help! That's what good friends do....right?

My Doggy Play Date

Today when I went to the car after preschool there was a dog in my car! I'm not kidding...a DOG! Mommy brought home Jaeger from work. He belongs to Lindsey but she let me play with him tonight. Everything Jaeger did, I wanted to do. Things like pant, drink my water from a bowl, lay on the floor!! The best part was when he played fetch. I got really good at making him run all the way across the room. Mom says Jaeger can come and play again some other day! I can't wait!

My Friend Ella

I have the best friend ever. Her name is Ella. We go to school together and so we get to play together alot. Last night she came to the basketball game. I've been wearing dresses to the games because it seemed to be bringing Daddy's team good luck, but Ella said we should wear our matching sweat pants...the blue ones with the white stripes. And guess what...it worked....Daddy's team won! Ella and I had so much fun dancing to the music and then after the game we got to go out on the court and play basketball. I am so lucky to have such a great friend as Ella.
