The sun is here, the weather is warmer and with lots of rain, everything is turning green. May and June has turned out to be a great hit!
For Memorial Day, we went camping with the Rowen's (Gretta, Elliot, Emerson) and the Eute's (Elsa and Emmett) along with several other families. This is a first time camping trip for everyone except baba - he's been on several camping trips when he was younger. I underestimated the effort that goes into a camping trip. First, we had to get new tents (old one was small and leaking), air mattresses, coolers and everything else that camping requires - flashlights, bug spray, cooking stuff just to name a few. Then, we had to pack it all in the van. There was not a single foot of open space. Then, we had to pack for all weather... which wasn't too bad but just a big list.
We went to Lake Carlos which is a little outside of Alexandria and had gorgeous weather. You and your brother spent the days outdoors and had plenty of play friends. We had smores, smore cones (which you and your brother did not like but everyone else did), fishing, bug catching, frog shows, and endless amount of fun at the sand pit. Also, you had a blast with the car vac and spent hours vacuuming grass and weeds.
Right after Memorial Day, we had your birthday party. Yipao came to celebrate for the week. It was soooo much fun!! The theme was construction trucks and we had a good combo of neighbor friends (Tad, Siena, Walter, Margaret) and school friends. It was one of those super humid days but with the party early in the day, it turned out great. We had a bulldozer bouncy house, sand pit, playground and ring toss. All the kids had lots of fun, including you! I wasn't sure if you would enjoy all the attention but you were super happy. Total success :)
Now that school is out, you and your brother are onto the summer schedule. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday's, you are at daycare. Wednesday is water day and soccer (your fav's) and Friday typically comes with some summer fun activity. Tuesday and Thursday's you are home with your brother and Ashley. Ashley's our new summer babysitter and you both love her! She brings you to tee ball and Ben to Tennis on Tuesdays. Last Thursday there was a trip to Target, which is always your favorite.
My little didi - I cannot believe you are three already! Where did the time go? I love your kind heart, gentle soul and toddler boy spunk and energy. You have a ton of fun anywhere you go and always flexible. Nowadays, you are nonstop chatter as you have mastered speaking and communicating your thoughts and feelings. Some of the super funny sayings:
5/19 - Mama, I want to go to toy Target, not food Target (our Target is huge and it literally feels like two Targets with the layout)
5/24 - did you do this Bradley? "No, Monster did it"
6/2 - Ms Shelby and the class was singing happy birthday to you. You said, "Where's the cake? No cake? Well that's enough of that"
6/10 - Found out how much you like Danimals. (you call it Your-gurt)
6/15 - Bradley, stop stepping on my phone. "I'm not! I'm doing exercise!"
