It was rainy today so we couldn’t go for our walk. Still, I had fun playing with balls in school! Our teacher sang to us and we matched the rhythm and drummed on the balls!

Today when Daddy dropped me off I smiled when I saw my teacher and even leaned over to her when it was time to be handed off. I just can’t wait to join my classmates and teachers. It is hard to believe just a few weeks ago when I would be gripping Daddy’s shirt for

My baby gym is pretty cool. It transforms. It started off as a mobile with characters circling above me. Then it became a play panel with a lot of buttons for me to push. And now I stand next to it and push a bunch of buttons. But it can be a bit in the

I still practice feeding myself every so often. I do pretty good, but it is a lot slower and a lot more work for me. I rather have food shoveled into my mouth for me so all I have to do is chew and follow. Although, learning to feed myself will be beneficial in the

Daddy is trying to get me to wave bye-bye to Mommy. I’m not cooperating. Can’t he see that I’m eating?

When I get dropped off at school I have no expression. No smiles or cries, just a resting face. When I get picked up, same thing. I’m happy to see Mommy but there is no expression on my face. But when I get home, it is all smiles! Then I realize I’m hungry and then

We did arts and crafts at school today. Some kids didn’t like paint on their hands, but I didn’t mind too much. I thought it felt quite interesting. I was more into the feel of paint on my hand than the art project. We also played with blocks and our teacher showed us how to

The older kids in my nursery school at their weekly remote English lesson today. All the kids in my class lined up along the partition to take a peek at what was going on. We were very curious. But I was more wary than intrigued. When I saw the English teacher appear on screen I

Whenever I find Daddy’s glasses lying around, I like to give it to him so that he can put them on. I like to be helpful. Every so often when I come across my toy phone I give it to Daddy so that he can answer the call. I don’t think I ever saw him

I enjoying going through my toy box. The contents don’t really change, but it is good to take inventory and make sure everything is where it is supposed to be.

This is me watching Mommy leave for work. Surprisingly, I don’t cry when Mommy leaves for work. I guess it is because Mommy and Daddy went through great lengths to explain that Mommy would be returning at the end of the work day. I also remember when Daddy had to leave for work (instead of

I’m the birthday boy! I know I don’t look it, but I’m really happy for my special celebration at school! (I just don’t like posing for pictures.) I was very appreciative of everyone celebrating my birthday…and maybe I let it go to my head a little. You can see a little bit of attitude in

“Hey, Mason.” “Yeah?”

I can confidently say that I pick up a book every day! I love reading my books, and I love being read to. But I think it is time that I give back. So I’m practicing reading to others like my teachers do at nursery school.

I had a great first birthday! In some ways it was like any other day and that is what is so great about it! I have a great life! It did feel special today, but I hear that I’m going to have a birthday party this weekend and that is where the real celebration happens.

I had a lot of fun at the park again today! We looked at a lot of flowers and we had so much fun that we were exhausted and fell asleep. Who knew that flowers could be so exciting and draining?
