Story time.

Grandma and I looked at my James and the Giant Peach book the other night, and I told her all about the story that I've been reading with Dad. She said I have excellent retention skills, whatever they are.

K-town weekend

On Friday, Aunt Tory came to town and she and mom had a girls' weekend. Dad went to dinner with them on Friday night and Grandma n 'Pa came over to watch me. Then on Saturday, Dad brought me to Kingston to visit with G'ma and G'Pa M. We went to Hutton Park (where I climbed rock walls — man-made and real), Mickey's Igloo for ice cream, fed ducks at the Strand, played in the backyard with the neighbors, went to the playground at Forsyth Park, played hide-and-seek and a couple of other games that were new to me, but Dad said they were "old school" (more about that later).

Wisha wishaila?

Grandma is showing me an Italian saying that daddy's grandma (Nani) would do with him (and with my cousins and uncles, too). Dad can't spell it or translate it properly, but the basic idea is "Mama is pretty, and daddy is also and so are you, you, you." Something like that. I just think is sounds nice and is fun to do. Thanks, Nani.

Scowellas!

I spent the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa in Kingston and had my first Scowella. Mmmmm, Italian braided, fried, honey-dipped dough. Delicious.

Grandparents. Great!

I had a super fun time this past weekend at Grandma & Grandpa M's house. We played with blocks and my toy farm, went for walks and watched the Yankees on TV. Then, the next day, they celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary! Congratulations! On Monday I visited Grandma & Grandpa L (and Uncle Eric) and went for a ride in my wagon. I have the best grandparents. I love them lots.
