Busy Days

Mommy has been sick a lot and we have been just so busy so I haven't blogged much. But we did take a trip to Uncle John & Aunt Amy's in February for Foster's birthday. We had a fun time with the family. We had Uncle John, Aunt Amy, & Foster visit a few weeks later too! Daddy has been traveling for work a lot but I'm kind of getting used to that.

I fell against a white board at school & knocked one of my front teeth lose. The dentist had to pull it but I don't think it will be too long before I was going to lose it anyway. Not long after that I lost another tooth the normal way! I was very brave!

I started really reading a couple of weeks ago. I'm really enjoying reading books. I usually read a couple of books a night at least. I am so excited!

Oh - I almost forgot...I saved up all my money, worked extra chores, & waited for a long time until there was a sale but I bought myself a Nintendo DS Lite. So far I only have two games but I have really been enjoying it. I am doing a great job of managing my time on it so I'm not constantly playing video games.

We are heading out tomorrow for a camping trip to celebrate Easter & Trinity's 2nd birthday. It should be lots of fun!

My Weekend With Wilbur, the class pet

(pictures to come later when mommy gets around to it)

This visit with Wilbur was a little less exciting than the last one, but we still had a lot of fun. Mommy picked Wilbur and me up from school on Thursday and we went to Supercuts where Ms. Jin cut my hair. Wilbur just watched and made sure the cut was even. Well, my little sister Trinity did play with Wilbur some too. We had milkshakes that evening and Wilbur even got a brain freeze!

Wilbur spent Friday morning in the van while I was at school. But when I came home, we lied down to watch a movie. We were supposed to have a play date at Chick-Fil-A that night but the other kids were ill. So instead my dad brought a Kid’s Meal home to enjoy. We spent the night just hanging out with the family.

On Saturday it was raining and cold. We stayed inside all day playing games and Legos. My best friend Ethan came over for a play date that night. We had pizza, played Legos and Bakugan on the Wii, and watched a Bugs Bunny movie way too late!

Sunday morning we went to church. I went to two different classes since my parents had to volunteer and got my special sprinkle doughnut that Ms. Laurel who saves me one every week. I let Wilbur have a nibble but I don’t like anyone messing with my doughnut so I didn’t let him have much.

After church we went to Shane’s Rib Shack to hang out with my friend Parker. We came home and I played more Bakugan on the Wii. I taught Wilbur how to tell which 3 digit number is greatest during the game.

My dad and mom had a date night Sunday. While they were gone out for dinner, I went to my friends’ house.

 My family is part of a babysitting co-op so when my parents go out, I get to have a play date. Wilbur had fun at Stephen and Bethany’s house. We ate dinner, played Legos, and Wii.  I was tired and went to bed as soon as we got home. This weekend was low key, but I was so glad Wilbur got to share it with me! Thank you Wilbur for all the fun times we shared.

I Lost My First Tooth!

I lost my first tooth last Thursday, December 3rd. I was wiggling it and pulled it out myself. The tooth fairy came that night and left me lots of coins and a dollar. I'm getting used to the new tooth growing in.

We went to Cooper's Tree Farm yesterday and got our Christmas tree. I was bailed up like a Christmas tree and had a great time!

Loose Tooth!

This morning mommy discovered that I have a loose tooth! I can't wait to see what all this loosing a tooth is about.

In other news, I was a race car driver for Halloween and braved the bad weather to trick or treat. We got a pop-up camper & went camping at Amicalola Falls. I was the only person ever in the Tracking class given by park rangers to correctly identify the track of a turtle. They were so impressed with me that I got to hold a corn snake. Pappaw came to visit for a while too since daddy was out of town for 12 days with work.

And also in big news, baseball season is over and mommy found me an art class. I'm really enjoying art! We study an artist each class & do an art project related to the artist!

Ring Bearer Cooper

I was the ring bearer at my Aunt Jamie's wedding this past Saturday. She married a cool guy that I like a lot and he is now my Uncle AJ. My cousin Foster was also a ring bearer but I had to help him down the aisle. He tripped and made us both fall but I picked us up and we did a fine job after that. Mommy said I was the cutest ever in a tuxedo and I absolutely loved wearing it.

Also I started school last week. I am in transistional kindergarten (basically pre-K for those who turn 5 before Dec 31) and have two super nice teachers, Ms. Kim and Ms. Cyndy. I'm having a blast and am so excited to go to school every day.

I'm 5!

I turned 5 yesterday. I thought I was going to grow really tall yesterday but I'm pretty much the same size. My aunt Jamie came up for my birthday. I went to school, had a birthday celebration there, and immediately was stung by a bee when we went to the playground afterwards. It was my first bee sting ever, but Ms Anna at school said I was brave about it. Then daddy, mommy, Aunt Jamie, and Trinity picked me up and we went to Toys R Us and Target to spend some of my birthday money. I purchased several Bakugan, a Lego Racers set, and some Blendy Pens. A lady in Toys R Us came up and gave me $5 too! She was so nice because we didn't even know her. I did give her a hug. Then I had my first tee ball game of the fall season. We're the Yankees this season and daddy is my coach again. We had about a 45 minute rain delay but it was a lot of fun to get those new white pants dirty! We had Subway for dinner. I had such a great day. My Speed Racer birthday party is this Saturday and I can't wait! Mommy has interviewed me again this year and the results are below.

Chad Is My Friend

My imaginary friend is Chad. He is a mouse and is always doing something silly. Blossom is a cat that adds into the mix sometimes. If you are wondering who is up on the ceiling or throwing something or the reason why I get into trouble - the answer is Chad. Chad just cracks me up. He makes movies and is always getting into mischief.
