Spanish with Doug

Today Daddy and I went to the family friendly Firehouse Coffee Roasters in Ballard for a special Spanish session with Campbell Smith and Professor Doug E. Fresh. Doug did a great job going over animals and food with us for about an hour before our attention spans couldn't take it any longer.

Numero Dos

So everyone goes potty, right? Well today I managed to request a session on the big toilet at school as I was feeling the urge to, um... you know. With a little help from my teacher Heather, I officially and effectivley used a toilet for the first time. Ain't life grand? It's the little things in life.

Parent-Teacher Conference

Today Mommy and Daddy met with Silver at ELDC for my first official parent-teacher conference. After salutations they discussed how I'm excelling in every department: language, motor skills, art, and social ability. I'm the only kid in my class that can actually jump!

Silver also told Mommy and Daddy that I'm very nuturing to the other kids when they are crying. There is also a girl that only comes once in a blue moon that played in isolation before I befriended her. Now I make sure she has tons of fun. Silver spilled that I like to dance, dance, dance all day long and that I also like to sit by myself and read books for up to an hour.

It looks like all of the Dora the Explorer I watch and IPA I drink from the Barking Dog are paying off.

Popsicle Madness

Here's the first of many sugar-free popsicles on an unbearably hot day. In spite of the heat, Nana, Mommy and I made it out to the Northwest Railway Museum in the North Bend area for the Day Out With Thomas the Train. Check out a few pics by clicking here.

Henry Light at ELDC

Today my pal Henry Light joined Owen Moriarty and I in becoming the latest former Cosmopolitan Kid to make the transition to ELDC. Heck even one of our Cosmo teachers made the switch. In fact, I hear another 3 kids are slated to be joining us soon. It's great having so many friends with me at ELDC... Will the last one to leave Cosmo please turn out the lights?

Honey-Done List

Daddy took a few days off work over the 4th of July holiday to finish myriad projects around the house. Here's what he managed to knock down:

• Fill nail holes on chair rail
• Paint chair rail and accent wall in dining room
• Prime and paint ceiling from drywall patch
• Level posts on the fence, make and attach extenders, and apply decorative caps
• Administer stain and rust remover for hardscape
• Apply three rounds of efflorescence remover
• Apply hardscape “wet look” sealer
• Fill under deck area with crushed rock

All this, a few cigars, and two rounds of tennis too! Not too shabby for a geezer.

Cousin Vanda

Nana and Papa just got back from a trip to Arizona. While there they met up with my cousin Vanda, whom I've never met. Isn't she cute?!
