Cin and I met with Barbara Hacker, his primary teacher at Post Oak. He is doing well. Very advanced on linguistics and reading, and very tender and sweet. She told us how he introduced her to Felicia when she brought him to the car the other day; and that when Felicia wrongly said something like,…

Lately I like Daddy to tell me stories before I go to bed. They have to include Barry the Barosaurus (and his friends Ricky the Raccoon and Sigmund the squirrel), and Cary the Alligator (and his friends Dilly and Dally the ducks, and Freddy the Frog), and Quincy the Quetzalcoatlus. I also try to pick…

Daddy needs to resume posting. Took E camping a couple weeks ago w/ Maw Maw and Paw Paw at Lake Livingston. What else. Hmm. At Halloween we went to Sir William’s house for a little party and then all went trick or treating together. E’s first time. He dressed as a zebra. Last night he…

I went to the dentist the other day for the first time. I was a good boy. Getting better at potty training–daddy gives me a dinosaur sticker. I like the planets now, and looking at stars with Daddy. I sing Song Sung Blue all the time. Daddy tells me Barry the Barosaurus stories when I…

I am taking swimming lessons two days a week now from Miss Mary, who is “beautiful.” Well when Hurricane Rita threatened Houston we decided to go to Paw Paw and Maw Maw’s house in Louisiana. So we left before the 2.7million person crowd and hung out there for a long weekend. Daddy taught me to…

What has been going on lately. Hmm. Well Hurricane Katrina just wiped out New Orleans. So MeMaw and Pop were flying back to Baton Rouge that weekend from Colorado visiting Pop’s sister, and stopped in Houston to ride the storm out. A couple weekends ago. Then last weekend Maw Maw and Paw Paw came to…

Busy weekend. My finger is healing. I think. But Daddy is worried about it. Daddy and Mommy too me to the zoo Saturday. I saw elephants, birds, camels, giraffe. We had fun. Then Sunday Daddy took me with Unkka John and my cousins Maggie and Julia to the Museum of Natural Science and the Butterfly…

Last Friday evening Daddy closed the door on my right ring finger, ripping off the nail and cutting and smashing the end. It hurt real bad. They took me to the doctor and I got stitched. Daddy feels real bad, but they think it will be alright. Sunday Daddy, Mommy, and Aunt Crystal took me…

Lately I have been calling milk “mizzilk,” thanks to my Daddy. And when I almost drop something I’ll say, “Jesus!” like Mommy and Daddy. This weekend Daddy took me swimming. I can put my head under the water, kick, and blow bubbles now. I can run and jump into the pool into Daddy’s arms like…

I just turned 2. I can read about 100 words in books and on the computer screen. Daddy taught me how to type some words on the computer. I can usually figure out the first letter but then he helps me with the rest. If I hold the key down too long then he makes…
