it's thursday and the week is almost over. today was ok. it's been soooo hot out, mom and i just stay inside trying to stay cool. this morning it was 80degrees at 8am and it just got hotter and hotter. i spent the morning watching gps kids. they do all kinds of great educational shows that i am really enjoying. while i watched shows i also played with my toys and practised flying. yes today i did many flight experiments. i built a landing strip out of pillows on the floor and jumped off the couch. i jumped and flapped my wings. i jumped with my arms behind my back. i did a lot of different jumps in lots of different ways. so far no luck cracking the mystery of flight. mom reminded me a few times that- you are not a bird and you are not buzz lightyear, but if you really want to fly keep trying. i know i know. i'm pretty sure the secret of flight involves bubble grass. i've insisted that mom get me some bubble grass but she claims to have no idea what i'm talking about.
mom fed me an early lunch because we had a noon meeting. we ate and got ready to go. today we went to check out the preschool. i was very excited because we were going to the kid's place. i got out of the car and all i could hear were kids playing. kids kids kids. mom and i went in to our meeting. the head lady seemed nice enough. she let me pick a book to color in. i went with the penguins of madagascon book. i love them! the lady did lots of talking and mom did lots of uhum, uhum. the lady gave us a tour. there was so much cool stuff to see. i wanted to stay and play but mom said- we couldn't. today we're just looking. eyeroll.
at the end of the tour i did get a quick play in. the place was pretty cool. mom is not sure when i will start school though or where. this place does a summer program which would fit our schedule better so mom will think about it.
after the meeting mom and i stopped at the dollar store. everything's a dollar! we walked around and picked up a few things. mom got me a little crate to keep my socks in. cool.
we bought our stuff and mom drove me to a kid's consignment sale. sounds kind of boring and it was. we walked around and looked at everyone's stuff. i saw a few things i wanted to buy but mom was all- no freaken way. according to her everything was way over priced and not worth the money. she did find a few pairs of shoes to buy me though. today i got my first pair of dr marten shoe docs. they're a little big right now but the way i grow, they will fit in no time. i also got a couple penguin stuffies. penguins always make me happy. on the way to the register we passed a woman from the fire department. she was running a kid's safety table. she gave me a bike helmet- for free. i also got a reflective wrist band, alright. mom paid for stuff and we left.
got home and mom hurried me off to naps. i wasn't really in the mood for naps. i just sat in bed and talked to myself for awhile. when i thought enough time had passed i shouted at mom- is naptime over? and she growled back- over? you never went to sleep. get in here. oh man. so i went and saw mom. she thrust a pen in my hand and told me to write my name. she had a stack of thank you cards and i had to sign each one. next time i'll just take the nap.
since i didn't take a nap, no pool and i have to go to bed early. ugh. i had an ok afternoon though. mom and i chatted a bit about private stuff. i'm ok, i just need some extra mom cuddles. all these changes this year, it's a lot to take in. dad is home now and we're going to share an ice cream.
