I turned 4 in Mexico! I had a pretty good day, but I still don’t understand why mommy and daddy had to wait until the end of the day to give me all of my presents. Let me back up…for those of you that don’t know…we’re on a two week trip on our boat in Mexico! I get to spend all of my time with mommy and daddy….Mommy is even playing teacher!
Back to my birthday….I woke up and had a nice waffle birthday breakfast with peanut butter, honey and syrup. I helped mommy make my birthday cake. I love to stir and help measure. Mommy seemed a little frazzled and mentioned something about Celsius and math, but I didn’t really get it. I don’t know why she was so nervous, dump the stuff in the bowl, crack few eggs, stir…what’s the big deal?
After that we went to eat lunch and rode in a car with some new friends to a party. It wasn’t as much fun as they played it up to be but I managed to have a good time. There was a bouncy thing but I didn’t want to go in. Too many girls….they can be kind of pushy some times.
Finally we went home and I played with my playdoh toys that mommy had given me earlier in the day (hours of fun) while mommy made dinner. After dinner we finally got to eat my CAKE!! It was delicious. Then, just when I didn’t think I could wait any longer, mommy gave me my presents….I got a deep sea research boat with a real deep sea diver, I got a scuba diver in a cage with 2 sharks, and I got a baby doll that has diapers that rip (one of my top requests for my birthday). Our new friends Amanda and Ali gave me a kit to make a Volcano that actually erupts and a great big poster with all kinds of Sharks on it. Very cool.
Now that I’m 4, I decided I need to get on this swimming thing. I can snorkle with my fins and mask on, but really need to work on it without all of my equipment. Daddy is a great teacher.
Speaking of teachers, mommy is teaching me to read. I “read” my first book on Friday. Mat. Mat Sat, Sam Sat, etc. You get the picture. Mommy said I did great using my phonics.
More to come...have to go ride in the dinghy now!
