FULLERTON, CA - Tonight was the Ice Cream Social at my preschool. I've never been to one of these before, but I figured if there was going to be yummy frozen goodness, it had to be worth a shot. I had the chocolate ice cream, then I colored, then I got to go on the playground with some friends from school. Yup, I was right - I love these Ice Cream Socials...can we have another one soon??

LA HABRA HEIGHTS, CA - Morgan and Lindsay invited us all over for dinner tonight. It was quite a large group since Nana & Tata are down here - they were helping mommy while daddy was pretending to travel on business. I also got to play with Zoe, Leah, Judah, and Micah! The kids got to have dinner in the playhouse - so fun. If you look closely, you can see the shirt that daddy brought me from New York...it sounds like a fun place.

In the last picture, you can see that Jake found a cozy place for a nap, although it appears someone else was sleeping on the job too...

FULLERTON, CA - This was my "Exer-Saucer" when I was a baby - now it's Jake's territory. Such a big boy...

DIAMOND BAR, CA - Tonight I got to go to my friend James' house for dinner. My other friend 'Bekah (and her sister Anna) was there too.

James' daddy made some yummy looking ribs on the grill - but those were just for the grown ups. Us kids got hot dogs, cheese and grapes, which was certainly A-O-K with me...those are three of my favorite things. I got to run and play in James' backyard, and his daddy even took us all for a wagon ride - I just wish he went faster!

'Bekah's mommy made a really good dessert with chocolate cake, whipped cream, toffee bar and caramel sauce - mmmmm good. After that we played for a little bit longer and the grown ups got to play a pretend-guitar video game. It looked pretty fun, so 'Bekah found a kiddie drum to play and I joined in with the tambourine. We sounded pretty good, if I do say so.

It was a very fun night - thanks for having us over, Jeff, Valerie & James!

FULLERTON, CA - This is my brother, Jake. He'll be 4 months old next week. I think he's quite handsome. He's starting to squeak and coo and giggle and laugh at me. I think he's ready to sit up by himself, but daddy says, "not yet."

Here are some pictures of my brother from the last couple of weeks...

FULLERTON, CA - Today was the big day! I got to go back to school! I feel like I'm ready for kindergarten, like some of my friends, but I still have one year of pre-school left. That's OK...I think I'll have a lot of fun in Ms. Julia's class.

I went easy on mom & dad by sleeping in this morning. Sometimes on a big day I like to get up extra early, but I knew I needed my rest for today, so I slept all the way until 7:15. I got myself dressed, had a quick bowl of Kix, posed for a couple pictures, and we were off! We got there just in time for me to play for a few minutes before circle time started. I even got to sit next to my very good friend, Arabella.

I'm looking forward to a fun year :-)

FULLERTON, CA - Today I got to go meet my new teacher for this year. I actually already knew her from last year, but I wasn't in her class. She's two doors down from my old teacher (Mrs. Karen). My teacher's name is Ms. Julia, and she's very nice. I think I'll have a lot of fun in her class. I found out that my friends Arabella and Kelsey, who were in my class last year, are in my class again! I even saw Kelsey this morning and played with her a little bit.

After we visited my classroom, we went and saw Mrs. Karen (who said, "You must have spent a little time in the sun this summer - you're very tanned!"). Then we walked over to the science room and saw Mrs. Vicki. She had lots of fun things out for us to play with - like plastic bugs and magnifying glasses. Then we checked out the new Art room - it had lots of paints, stamps and stickers out. We couldn't actually use them today, they were just examples of what we'll be using this year once school starts.

Then it was time to go - it all went by so fast. I can't wait to start on Thursday!
