I'm three!

It's my birthday and I'm in Cape Cod with Mom and Dad, staying with our friends Ken and Tom. They gave me a great 'Dinosaur Train' set as a present and I got to go the beach twice! We caught fish and hermit crabs in a net and built sand castles. After dinner on Sunday, I got a special cupcake and people in the restaurant sang Happy Birthday! I've had a really good time on my birthday.

School party!

Mom and Dad brought some cupcakes and juice and party favors to school on Friday and I enjoyed a little party time with my friends. Everybody sang happy birthday!

I like puddles.

A lot.

Wilco.

This is my Wilco shirt. Dad got it for me in 2008, before I was even born. I was still in Mommy's belly when she and Dad saw the band in August of that year and 45 days later I showed up. Dad's been waiting since then to give me the shirt from the 'Sky Blue Sky' tour. I like it. Who wouldn't like a guitar playing frog?

Mom and Dad took me over to Uncle Blue and Aunt Shanni's house to play with my buddy Aiden. He's walking all over the place now, and he likes to share his toys! He had a couple of drums that we played. When it was time to go, Uncle Blue gave me one of the drums to take home! Dad said the Schechter's rock. I agree.

Day Out With Thomas

Mom & Dad, along with Grandma and 'Pa L brought me to see Thomas the Tank Engine, up in North Creek NY. There were wooden toy train and Lego stations, a bean bag toss game, and a place to watch Thomas videos. I got a tattoo on my arm of Salty, the diesel engine, met the head of the railway, Sir Topham Hatt (and gave him a high-five), then went for my first train ride! Afterwards, grandma bought me a Thomas balloon and I watch a few minutes of a video before heading home. Thanks for the ride - see you next time, Thomas!
