Last Wednesday I went back to school after all the snow. We had a fire alarm test in the morning and that was not a lot of fun for me. I didn't like it one bit. After I woke up from my nap, I was running a slight fever so I had to go home. When I got home though I felt fine and ran around, jumped all over Mommy and Daddy and all that good stuff. Thursday Daddy took me to school a bit later in

Monday morning was chock full of snow, what a lovely sight! Although it wasn't great sledding snow, Daddy and I trekked through the woods and to the creek and threw some sticks into it where it was iced over. Coming out of the woods, Daddy tripped up the slope and we fell into a pile of snow and got all covered with the white stuff, that was funny! After we got back inside, it started snowing

What a great Christmas we had...snow and everything! Christmas Eve was fun, we drove down to Grandpa Schillaci's and I got to open their gifts and got some trains, some really neat trains including more GeoTrax stuff to go with what I already had. When we got back home, Grammer and Grandpa Wise were at home, they drove down to hang out with us for the weekend. And Christmas day brought more

Last weekend, Mommy bought a new car. She's had her Civic since way before I was born....I can't even imagine what that's like. We all went in Saturday afternoon and the sales guy, Corey, gave me a big green balloon. That was nice of him. They had a little children's area and Daddy and I stayed in there a long while. Then Mommy came by and Daddy left for a bit. Then he came back and Corey kept

Last Tuesday was Mommy's band concert at Ridge Road Middle School. It was quite an adventure, mostly for Daddy, but me too. Daddy picked me up and we went to McDonald's to get some food before the concert and to play in their playground. But I wasn't all that interested in the playground, I had a poopy diaper. But Daddy forgot the diaper bag at home. So we went off to the store to buy some

On Saturday afternoon Mommy went out to test drive a car and Grammer, Daddy and I went to a concert....to see a singing Christmas Tree! It was really neat. They sang a lot of fun songs, like Jingle Bell Rock and there were these 2 mice - Bree and Roquefort...get it? - that kept popping up trying to sing their own song. They gave out jingle bells to us kids too. It was a lot of fun. Monday night

Grammer stayed with us for a week and a half. Last Sunday was her 70th birthday (wow, that's old...I'm only 3!). We had a lot of fun with her around. We went to the race car park and I ran and ran and ran around. We went to the mall and the indoor play area there where I ran and ran and ran around. Another day we met Grandma Connelly at the Art League for lunch, then we went to Discovery Place

I had another fun Thanksgiving out at the Connelly cabin. My Great Grandpa Durley was there and my Great Uncle Todd and Camille (my Great Aunt Kathy was sick, but she's feeling much better now). We ate a lot of food and I played a lot with Camille. After Thanksgiving we went to the racetrack to see the Christmas lights. That was loads of fun and on the infield, they had this thing set up where

Mommy played her French horn with her Winthrop band this past Friday. Daddy and I sat in the back to watch and listen. I had a lollipop and waved it around sometimes like I was conducting. Or something. I really like listening to Mommy play. But the best part if after the concert is over and Daddy takes me up to the stage. I got to run around the chairs and look at all the neat percussion

How great is this? I got to go trick-or-treating 4 times this year! The first was at school on Wednesday, we changed into our costumes but had to stay inside because of the weather. Still, we traipsed through all the classrooms and were able to get all sorts of candy. Then on Friday, Mommy took me down to Daddy's office which was all decorated and stuff. I picked up more candy, tried to knock

This past weekend Mommy and Daddy went to Atlanta to see another drum corps show and I got to hang out with the Schillaci's and swim in their pool and see the D-O-G too. We had a lot of fun splashing around. I didn't want to leave really when Mommy and Daddy got back to pick me up!

If it's July, it must mean we're taking a trip to Ohio. This Summer was a good one as Grandpa Wise turned 70 (although he kept saying something about being 29 many times over, or 39 many times over...I couldn't quite follow, these large numbers are hard to grasp)! We hopped on the Cuyahoga Valley train for a bit then stopped at some house that had a big, big lock in front of it. They would fill

I spent the holiday weekend hanging out with my cousins from Florida. Luke turned 4 on the 1st so I had to go tease him about being old! We had a lot of fun at the Conelly's pad up at the lake watching the boat races, eating lots of cookies and running around. Did I mention we ran around? We ran around. A lot! Here, there and everywhere we could get to, it was fun. Alex was there too, but he was

Mommy and Daddy had their 10th anniversary this week and they went off on a boat somewhere....without me. And that's okay because I got to spend the week with Grandma and Papa Connelly at the cabin riding the jet ski and the boat and of course, eating lots of goodies!

Recently, Mommy ordered me a race car bed so I could move out of the crib that I've slept in since, well, since I don't know when. The box came last week and it was big. Real big! Mommy put the bed together Saturday night, apparently really late Saturday. We played in it some Sunday and then her and Daddy later moved it into my room. It's big. Real big! We had to turn it around against the wall

Last Friday, Mommy and Daddy had a night out to see some kind of wicked musical or something. I got to go home from school with Sheila (she's our school's principal....am I a top-flight student or what?). Her son Travis hung with me for a while too. Travis is a trombone player and was also the drum major for his high school's marching band last Fall - he's a pretty cool dude. We had a lot of fun.

Fresh off of getting my first timeout last week, this week I went one further and decided to put myself into a timeout. I took something from someone else and I knew that was wrong, so I 'fessed up, announced my punishment and headed to the corner.I'm sure many will think that's cute, but later that night, Mommy took me to see Mallard Creek High School's Spring music concert and I pretty much was

Things changed on here and the way these posts make it onto my website is now different. It took Daddy a while to figure out to make those changes work properly and here we are. But all looks to be well now. I think. So let's catch up! In 3 months and 6 days, I'll be three years old, how neat is that? Oh but how about some things I've been up to in the last few months, no? Okay, here goes.

Last week, daddy noticed a rash on my cheek before I went for my nap. He said he was relieved that it was gone when I woke up later, only to find it was now on my other cheek. How odd!Mommy and daddy kept an eye on me, or rather the rash as it would pop up in a small splotch and then fairly quickly disappear. It seemed to make its way down to my feet before I went to bed later that night.The next

Daddy and I have to tell this story so that it's forever immortalized and we can look back on it in many years and giggle.You know we got snow over the weekend right? And that it's stayed for a few days, right? Monday's are mommy's Winthrop Ensemble practices where I hang out with the Schillaci's while she toots her French horn for a few hours.Mommy's horn case is one of those backpack style

Wow, so we got snow Friday night and some ice on Saturday. A few inches of snow topped with ice so I couldn't grab any to throw at daddy. We tromped around a bit though and that was sort of fun.Daddy's good friend from work is moving to Pennsylvania this coming week, so we tried to trek out Saturday evening to wish him bon voy-ag-gee and it was a trip.Our neighbors up the street were sledding

Boy, what a week. On Monday Mommy finally went back to rehearsal with her Winthrop ensemble, so I got to see the Schillaci's again.Then Tuesday, I hung out with the Connelly's and we tried to go see the circus animals parade through the town. It was chilly. And windy too. So we popped into a big building to wait, but the animals never came by. So we went home.Wednesday, we went to go see the

This past weekend was a fun one in all sorts of ways. We went out again to 5 Guys for dinner on Saturday and we brought some of my trains with us too. After I connected them in a circle and played a while, I ended up eating all of my grilled cheese - a first!Mommy and daddy didn't have anything to bring home for me - yay! Oh but let me tell you how we got to 5 Guys...See, it's in the same place

Okay, new year, new posts...and I'm doing an awful job of keeping everyone current. Sorry 'bout that.But great excuses, really. Really! I've been sick twice since December. Just before the holidays I got a cough that needed some medicine and then again right after New Year's day. Just getting over that and I'm just about back to my normal bubbly self. Oh and another excuse...too much fun playing
