Fun in INDY!!

I always ask to go to Indy to the Dino Museum and finally we had time to go! I start school next week so mommy wanted to go before then. So we left for Indy as soon as mommy got home from school today.
Okay so as you all know Mommy and I love the Colts. This time when Nana, mommy and me went to Indy we got to eat at the Colts Restaurant for dinner. This was the front of the building..which was super cool!

I'm wearing my Colts shirt too!

They had huge tvs and pictures of different Colts players all around the restaurant.

Then we walked down to the Circle part of Indy where there horse and carriages parked. 


Mommy said that we could ride in one if I wanted to, so of course I said YES! It was our first time every in a horse and carriage. I was so excited!! Our horse's name was Dancer, he was a really pretty black horse. The lady drove us around Indy and we got to see all the tall buildings and even the Colt's stadium! 

It was a perfect night.

This was our horse Dancer. The carriage had lights on it which was super cool. Now I think everytime we go down to Indy I'm going to want to ride in the horse and carriage!

My Favorite Place...The Dino Museum!!

This is my most favorite place in the whole world! 
I was soo excited when we finally got there! I was in a big hurry to get into the Dinosphere and see all the dinos.

This is a real T-Rex bone, I always touch it when we go there. There were paleontologists working on other dino bones behind the window. I wanted to go in there to see what they were doing but no kids are allowed back there.

This museum in so awesome because I can touch everything and not worry about breaking it. There are workers that bring out cool things and then tell us about them. These were all different types of teeth, some were from plant eaters, some from meat eaters and then they had people teeth too.

There was a guy telling me about all these things but after a few minutes I wanted to go see more dinosaurs. 


I have a smaller fossil like this at home..but this one is much cooler because it's so big. When it's time to leave the museum I get very upset. I almost cried when we left but I was a big boy and mommy said that we would come back soon so I didn't feel as sad.

My first Meal at a restaurant...that I ate!


So as most of you know I had only ate baby food for the past 3 years. Well right before I turned four I started trying hot dogs, and gerber graduate chicken but mommy had to cut them up really really small (they almost looked like crumbs of food instead of pieces). I would only eat beef hot dogs and I had to have seasoning on it. Mommy slowly started giving me bigger pieces and I would eat them. But If they were too big I would gag. Then after I ate hot dogs for a couple days mommy gave me white rice (with some seasoning of course) and I ate ONE grain at a time, then slowly over the next few days ate more and more until I could eat a spoonful! It was all so suddenly, I just started trying more and more things, AND liking them. In just a couple weeks I was eating white rice, chicken nuggets, cheese rice, Nana's sopa, macaroni and cheese, french fries, ice cream sundaes, milkshakes, beans and cheetos. I am not as afraid to try foods now, mommy says all I have to do is try something and if I don't like it I don't have to eat it.(She said that all the time the past 3 years and it never worked. She always says that I do things when I am ready to, not when she thought I was ready) 


Mommy, Nana, Papa and me went to a Mexican restaurant. When we first sat down they brought out chips and dip. I ate a bunch of the tortilla chips, and tried the cheese sauce but didn't like it. Then I got chicken nuggets and french fries and ate a bunch of mommy's rice. I really liked their rice. I ate a little of my chicken nuggets but ate a lot of my fries and mommy's rice. It was fun sitting at a restaurant and eating all together. Since I ate really good at the restaurant we went to dairy queen and the video store after we left. I got a chocolate sundae...now I can eat the whole sundae! I can't believe it took me so long to try food, there is so many different kinds and most of it is really good! I want to keep trying new foods so I can grow bigger and bigger.

Rides, Games, Animals and Fun!!

Mommy, me and nana went to the Lake County Fair today. We met Bri, her mom and sisters and her cousins up there. Mommy parked at a really big school and then we rode in a school bus to the fair. It was my first time on a real school bus. It was SUPER COOL! When we first got on I was looking for a seat belt to buckle in but mommy told me we didn't need one. I was a little nervous without one but it was still really cool to ride in a bus.


There was a small petting zoo there with goats, alpaca, cows, turtles, pigs and a camel. I got to feed most of them. It smelled really bad because all the animals go potty in there, I made sure I told mommy that really loud as soon as we walked in the tent. 
I really like Bri's niece Belle. She is a few years older than me but she is always really nice to me and we have so much fun together. 


She is old enough to go on the BIG kid rides; she went on one with mommy and all the other big people but she still was happy to go on the little rides with me. 



I had so much fun on the rides. Then we played games and I won a bunch of cool prizes. My favorite was a long horn that you can yell in and it makes your voice really loud (of course his favorite would be the loudest most annoying toy he won.). It was really really hot that day and we went right at lunch time so the sun was really bright. After being there for a while Nana was tired, and even though I said I didn't want to leave, I was glad when we were back in our suv driving home. We all had a lot of fun, I can't wait til next year when I can go on even more rides!!

Pool Fun

I am in swimming lessons and I do really good in them, except I don't like for my nose and face to get in the water. I'm afraid the water is going to hurt my nose. And I don't like to jump in the pool at home or at swimming without holding onto someone's hands. 

Today when we got in the pool mommy kept telling me that I could do the jump. At first I did jump but I held onto one of her hands. Then I jumped for the very first time all by myself and my head went under water! I did really good when I came up, and didn't freak out like mommy thought I was going to. You know what, mommy was right! She said that once I did it, I would see that it was a lot of fun and would want to do it more! As soon as I came up I wanted to jump again! I got to show everyone how good I jumped. Tio and Bri came over and Tio jumped in the pool and made really big splashes, then I jumped after him and tried to make splashes just as big as his. I had so much fun jumping in the pool, I can't believe it took me 2 months to do that!! I can't wait to show my swimming teacher on Friday, she is going to be so excited!

Zoo animals at the library

I'm in the green shirt in the first row!
Mommy took me to the library today and I thought I was going for regular story time but when I walked in the room there were so many animals in there! I was one of the first ones in the room so I got to get right up front...which is good because I'm so small compared to the other kids.




They had a chinchillas, hedgehog, skunk (but don't worry he couldn't spray his stinky stuff), birds, lizard, turtles, a baby alligator (which was my favorite) and a snake. I got to pet the snake when I left and it's skin felt really cool.

Ninja stuff

So I went to this birthday party last weekend and it was a Ninja Party. I had no idea what a ninja was or what they did but once we played ninja games, I knew they were really cool. In my treat bag I got a couple of ninja action figures and I played with them all evening and the next few days. I kept talking about my ninjas and how cool they were. When mommy and me went to the dollar store I saw a bunch of cool ninja stuff there! I picked out the headband and dagger things (mommy forgot what they are called). I am starting to like a lot more "big boy" stuff. Mommy says I'm growing up too fast, I don't think I'm growing fast enough! Mommy thinks that I'll be a ninja for Halloween so we'll see what I am into then.
