Self Portrait

On my first day of school we were asked to draw a picture of what we looked like on that important day. Here is what I drew. That's me playing with Lincoln Logs which was the first thing I did when I got to my exciting new classroom.

In training

In case you didn't know this I really like to help out in the kitchen. This morning I helped my dad make pancakes for breakfast. He makes awesome pancakes and I want to learn all of his secret tricks.

Earning my keep

Now that I"m in elementary school my parents seem to think I can help out a little more around the house. Mom says my job is to bring down the trash barrel from the top of the driveway. Thankfully they aren't asking me to bring the full barrels UP the steep hill (yet).

Where's Robby

A great achievement

Guess what I earned yesterday. Guess. No, guess. Come on. Guess!

I FINALLY earned my Yellow Ribbon from swim class! I've been waiting for this ribbon for awhile now. I was close to earning the ribbon but then because of summer camp I had to switch classes and that set me back a bit. And then I was just about to earn the ribbon when we went away on vacation. I'm so excited to have finally reached this goal and I'm pretty proud of myself. This ribbon was kind of tricky because one of the skills I had to learn was to dive for a ring at the bottom of the pool. That was some tricky stuff. Now, onto earning the Red Ribbon!

I'm my father's son

At pick-up from school today...

Robby: I'm hungry. I want a snack.
Mom: Well, what would you like?
Robby: Meat.

(note: we've been talking to Robby about nutrition lately. Milk has calcium which is good for bones, Turkey is protein which is good for muscles, etc. He's definitely interesting in growing big and strong and apparently our little nutrition talks are sinking in. The other day the kids were fighting over green beans and corn).
