RJ is Sleepy

Taken: 07.26.09

RJ was trying to have his dinner after missing his nap. He has been refusing to take naps lately. He is so engrossed in learning and is afraid that he would miss something if he takes a snooze. Usually, by dinner time he is already very exhausted. As you can see, he is seldom cranky even when he is overly tired. He is a happy and easy going kid.

School Orientation

Wichita Collegiate School - 08.24.09 - Taken during the dinner/orientation for new families.

RJ just loves playing in the sand pit and he likes the big trucks as well. Hopefully, he will enjoy school in the coming days.

First Time Swimming in a Big Pool

08.14.09 - Crestview Country Club

The kiddie pool was closed so I was allowed to swim in the shallow portion of the big pool. It was a lot of fun. I mostly just stood up to play in the water. I am still not accustomed to putting my face in the water, but I am sure that Papa will teach me real soon.

Dad's Company Picnic - Augusta Lake

08.01.09 - Augusta Lake

It was such a perfect day for a company picnic. It was not too hot considering it was in the midst of summer. I had a good time playing in the sand pit, flying the kite, riding the train, playing the teeter totter and playing with the ice buckets.

My Very Own Big Boy Bed

07.19.09 - With my baby brother on it's way, Mom and Dad decided that it was time for me to move to my big boy bed. I like it a lot better than my crib. I was so excited when it was finally set up in my room.

I cannot contain my excitement the first time I slept on my bed that I kept climbing up and down. I finally got so exhausted and fell asleep on the floor. This was during my nap time. That evening however, I was able to settle in and sleep on my bed to my Mom and Dad's surprise.

Pretending to close my eyes for a nap.

Woohoo! So happy!

Now it's Papa's turn to read me a story.

I Am Going To Be A Big Brother!

07.15.09 - It's a boy!!!

I go with Mama to all of her doctor's appointment. This particular visit was extra special because we are going to find out if I will be having a baby brother or a baby sister. Papa took time off from work and was with us this time.

I was kissing Mama in the waiting room.

Curiously watching the technician do a sonogram.

Papa and I are happy to find out that I am going to have a baby brother! I am looking forward to playing with him soon. I know that I will be a very good big brother. I always kiss Mama on the tummy and call Ti-ti.

Reading Time

08.20.09

I am quite fortunate that Mom is able to bring me to a lot of story times. Below are just a couple that I have been too. I enjoy going to these activities as I like listening to music, reading books and being with friends.

At Barnes and Noble dancing to the tune of No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. Here you'll see that I pretend to fall down just like the monkeys.
