More from Petit Jean

Our room at the lodge was great. Eric loved it.

Playing Bakugan with Dad.

Baseball

Baseball is back. This year we are playing on a much more laid back league. The difference is night and day. Eric is on the Angels. His first game was Tuesday night, and he did great. He scored 4 runs in the game.

Our Vacation!

We just got back from a wonderful weekend at Petit Jean. It was so much fun. We took tons of pictures (of course). I wanted to post this one, but I will try to get up more in the next few days.

On to Level 3

Eric completed Level 2 on swimming and is hard at work on Level 3 now.

Whoo-hoo! Tooth is finally out!

Tonight Eric's tooth finally came out. It is actually the second one that became loose, but it came out first. He is so excited! He put it under his pillow along with the letter to his tooth fairy. He wrote that letter the day his tooth first was loose.

(If you look closely you will notice a black eye forming on the right. His goggles were too tight today, but there was no way he would ever tell Ms. Jeanne that. She fixed them for him, so they must be right. Oh my poor pleasing boy! Also, the poor kid bumped his nose on the edge of the pool, so he has some bruising on that as well)
He has the teeny tiniest little teeth. Here is his little tooth in his hand.

18

Eric has been working on writing his number words through 20. He has number cards that he can reference if needed. He usually needs to look at 8/18. Today he was counting and writing the number words. He went to write the word 18, and paused and looked at it for a minute or two. Then he said "Hey, this says eight-een, not "eight-teen". He knows that the teen words end with teen, so he was surprised that 18 only had 1 "t" in it instead of 2. Just a fun little observation he had that I wanted to share with you.

Winter Wonderland

I love living here! We get just enough snow to make it absolutely magical, but not so much that it affects our daily lives. I had no idea it was supposed to snow, so when we woke up to a thick blanket, it was a fabulous surprise! The snow continued to fall heavily all morning. It was so beautiful! Eric loved it and we had the best time having snowball fights. There was such an abundance of snow (and our yard is huge) that we were able to run all over pummeling each other with snowballs.
