Today was my party for my 6th birthday! Momma & Poppa almost didn't take us to the Magic Jungle because there was a big snowstorm, but we ended up going after Poppa called my friend's parents and they said were still going to try to get there; and they all did!
We love that place. All the tubes to climb around in and slide down. Big ball pools to jump in. Yeehaa! Momma had brought a big party snack and we got cake, but I didn't eat it, I just wanted to go play again. There was also a clown who gave us all balloons. My friends gave me great presents! Thank you Justin, Dominic, William, Vincent, Alexandre, Xavier! Then we got to go back into the game room some more.
Leaving is never fun. Mikah and I fell asleep in the truck in two minutes and when we got home I got to check everything out myself because Mikah kept sleeping. Next year I want to go back again.
Thank you Momma and Poppa!
Momma and Poppa said I would not be going to school today as I woke up. Something about the bad weather and all the schools being closed. I looked out the window and everything was covered in ice. Lots and lots of ice; and it was pouring rain. I was a little upset because I wanted to go, not stay home and have only my brother to play with. It wasn't too bad after all. Momma and Poppa stayed home too and we all kept our PJs on all day! I played with Mikah and Poppa let me use his computer. We found new games to play like Star Wars and Ninja stuff. I got to level 5!!Only 3 more dodos to my birthday party!
Ski school started last week but I wasn't too photogenic (whatever that means). It was OK but I had to wait a lot while the other kids took their turns sliding down. I want Poppa to take me up on the lift so I can come all the way down. Today was better. I was the first one there. When it was time to line up I got there first too and was the first one to ski down. Yeeeha! It was very cold today so only Poppa had come with me but he stayed outside to watch me the whole time. Next time we will ski together.This time I was happy so I let him take pictures. Check it out!
We all have trouble sleeping every now and then; for various reasons, and Mateo has been having quite a few consecutive nights of interupted sleep. To get back to dodo-land he comes into our room and quietly stands beside my side of the bed until his presence wakes me up. Failing that, he softly calls out "Poppa" a few times. "They" say that to break such a pattern you should coax your child back to their own bed so as not to form a habit of this. Well, I never know who "they" are but I'm certain they haven't gone through this, semi-regularly, between the hours of 1:34am and 4:23am. Personally, I like to sleep during that time and prefer not holding whispered training conferences with my 5 year old. My reflex is usually to lift the covers and let him slide in. Back to sleep in no time ... unless of course he is having a restless night, in which case he tends to thrash around, getting my nose, ears, shins and the like. In frustration, and in search (need) of a decent night's sleep, I often jump out, go to his bed, and curl up under the Hot Wheels sheets with Spider-Man, Teddy, and whomever else happens to be out. We generally discuss the sleeping re-arrangements the next morning at breakfast and he says he will try not to do it again.Last night is worthy of note because he came over (again; ALWAYS on my side too, never his mother's) woke me up and said "When I woke up I couldn't stop my legs from coming here." Couldn't argue with that at 2:47am!!
