Last time I was here I was so young and naive. Now I'm much older, three in fact! I'm in school and I've experienced my first hurricane (Sandy).
August: Went to San Francisco for a visit. Spent some time with the Foss', later caught a bad cold, so I wasn't able to visit other people. But I still had fun playing with my west coast family. Olivia's baby sister, Audrey? Eh, not so interested yet, but I'm sure someday I will enjoy playing jokes on her.
Aug-Sept: We went down to North Carolina to visit grandma and grandpa over my birthday weekend. They had a surprise birthday party for me! Grandpa took me out on a "tractor" (lawn mower) ride, and even let me steer! Grandma made me a cake! And mama and papa put up decorations. I had such a great time turning 3! At the end, I released some balloons with a little note attached to see how far the balloons would travel.
Card arrived the same week we came back home. Didn't really go far, maybe about an hour away, but what a pleasant surprise!
September: When we got back from North Carolina, we had to prepare ourselves for first day of school. I was nervous and excited about it. Mama and papa prepped me throughout summer that I would start school 2 days a week and that they would drop me off and pick me up. I was nervous not to be around them and to be with strangers, but once I entered the building, I knew I would have fun! I went straight in and started to play before class began and said, "Bye!" to mama and papa.
I have good days and bad...first day of school I had to sit under the "Listening tree". I'm working on using my listening ears and trying to be better at not joking around all the time.
I'm also attending a parent-child class at Brooklyn Forest School. It's a Waldorf inspired class all taken place outside, rain or shine, except for extreme cases like, oh, hurricanes. Mama thought it would be a good balance for me. Mama says we all need balance in our lives. I tell her, "I can balance on one leg!". (pictures were taken on multiple days)
Andrew from San Francisco was visiting since his papa was in NY for work. Mama and I spent the day with him and his mama.
October: Anissa, Sam and their baby Gunnar were in town for a wedding. Mama and I spent a day with Anissa and Gunnar. We went out for a walk and had lunch and dinner around the neighborhood.
Now that I'm a big boy, mama and papa felt I was ready for my bed to be converted. And this is how they found me in the middle of the night.
