Tonight I got to go to the Balloon Festival. It was really neat. We were at the fairgrounds and all of a sudden all these hot air balloons started flying over us. I saw one that looked like Garfield, one that looked like the Sugar Bear and one that looked like a big rubber duck.

I also got to see some skydivers. I thought that was really neat and think it would be fun to sky dive when I get bigger.

Here's me and mommy while we were waiting for the balloons to get set up on the launch field for the "nightglow." When it finally got dark enough, all the balloons turned on their flames and just glowed. They would do long glows and they would do short bursts of flame that was like flickering. It was really neat.

I'm so glad we went and I hope we get to go again next year!

Today was my first day of school. I couldn't wait to go.
I picked out this great backpack....mommy let me get it even though it's really big.
Here I am standing underneath the sign of my school

We did a lot of fun things today. My teacher weighed and measured me to see how big I was on the first day of school.
I painted with marbles.
I sorted pom poms by color using a pair of tongs....that helps me work on my fine motor control, or so mommy says.
We even got to do finger plays and hear a story.

I can't wait to go back!!
