Cold winter week

It's back to being winter this week and is it ever cold. But mommy and I have been having a fun week together.

Sunday afternoon as soon as I got home to mommy's I wanted to go biking in the community hall. So we did that for a bit and then Tony came to pick us up for dinner at his house. Liz was there (she's 11) and we had a great time playing together. We played car game on PS2 and had a big pillow fight. I even pulled her pants down because she had trucker butt. It was pretty funny! Dinner was great...I ate a huge piece of BBQ pork, a lot of salad and a few french fries. I think my tastes are finally changing and I like to try new foods. Before we went home I was slidding down my bum on the stairs so then I got Tony to slide down with me and Liz and her mom to slide down too. It was so hilarious! We all had wedgies.

Yesterday was up bright and early to go out in the freezing cold and wait for the bus with mommy. We had a good day at school together. Alex's mom was there to volunteer too. We're starting our unit on dinosaurs so that's pretty exciting. And we keep practicing our reading every day. I'm getting so good at it. I'm also getting really good at recognising my numbers and can do them all from 1-10 except I have a hard time with 7 and 8. Sometimes I get them confused. My extra work on it with mommy is sure paying off. I got to bring home my book for the week and it is "I Can Read". And I can actually read most of the book. Wow for me! Just by picking out the first letters of the words and knowing what sounds they make. I sure am smart. Yesterday afternoon was spent playing at home, going biking in the community hall and then Tony came over for dinner. He brought some instant mashed potatoes (since mommy still can't eat much) and we had corn and hot dogs. My favorites!

Today was another busy day. I had another good day at school. In French we were singing "Allouette" so I came home singing that and practicing all of my body parts in French. This afternoon was off to swimming lessons. It was a pretty cold walk...I had to wear my scarf around my face to keep warm. But it was parents day so mommy got to swim too! She was the only mom in the pool. I got to show off to her and my instructor with the best lesson EVER! I was doing back floats WITH my ears in the water (I realised I'm not sinking if I stick my ears in) and putting my face in the water a lot. Wonder if I'm going to earn my badge this time.

Whew...what an update. That's all for now.
