First day of preschool!







On Monday, I started preschool. I started off sad that a school bus was not picking me up! I go to school three mornings a week. After my initial scream for my mommy, i was just fine. Lots of my friends are in my class. We had a great time making Rosh Hashana cards and for snack we had apples and honey.

The most exciting part of all is wearing a back pack.

For the second year, my daddy rode 100 miles to put an end to cancer. I got to ride through the finish line with him. I think the more exciting part was the fire truck that we could play on. God daddy! So proud of you.

Northampton, Mass and Boston









A few weeks ago I went with Bubbe, Pop and Mommy to see cousin Rebecca graduate Smith College in Northampton, Mass. While there, I went to the Eric Carle Museum. It had a library where we read books and did puzzles, an art room where I got to paint with Pop and a beautiful gallery of illustrations.

On the way to pick daddy up from the train, we stopped at The Dr. Seuss Memorial Sculpture Garden in Springfield, Mass. They had about 6 gigantic sculptures based on the different Dr. Seuss books.

We also went to Rebecca's graduation and I finally got to meet my Uncle Tom and cousin Jeff. I had so much fun with them both.

From there we went to Boston for a few days. We walked around Newbury Street, Little Italy, Fanueil Hall on the first day. The second day it rained so we went to the New England Aquarium where I got to touch all sorts of slimy ocean dwellers. We had dinner in Copley Square and our last day we stopped in Cambridge so I could get something at the Curious George book store.

It was a great trip. Here are some pics. I will post the link to the whole album.
