The first couple days I lived at Barbara's house I was a bit of a pill, no... a real pill.  But the last several days I have been a pretty good boy, doing what I am told to do.... most of the time.

 I had a swim lesson today.   I am getting better about remembering to lift my left arm out of the water when doing the American Crawl.  I am a good floater.

GGF came to watch me during my lesson.


On the drive home, I asked Barbara if we could make brownies as soon as we got home.  She said yes.  Well, we didn't have to... I smelled brownies as soon as I opened the door.  GGM made them. She also made homemade chicken and noodles.

After my lesson I insisted on wearing my baseball shoes and long pants.  No body understand this since it is 95 degrees outside.

We are babysitting Anna Kate today and I was watching the clock waiting for her arrival.  She was asleep when she got here, but she woke up soon.  She so likes to play with me.

I am gentle with her.  Sometimes I need to be reminded to take it easy, but I have never hurt her with my high energy.

While AK took a nap, Barbara and I played catch with a hard ball.   She mostly threw pop-up flies to me and I did a good job of catching them.  I really need to work on my throwing.  I will have to do this with Daddy, Mommy, and PaPa.  Barbara is scared of a hard hit hardball but she does try.  And it is 95 degrees outside.

We also went down to George's to shoot a few baskets.  He was not home, but he had lowered the goal as low as it would go, so I could play.  I sure need m own goal.  Barbara plans to bring it up to my grandparents as soon as all this moving business settles down a bit.

Around 2pm AK went down for a nap.  And GGM, Barbara, and I did too.  After my swim lesson I insisted on putting on my baseball pants and socks.  I wore them yesterday to try outs and feel good wearing them.  (100 degrees outside)

The coach from the team I tried out for, called Mommy.  He wants to see me again, so Wednesday evening I go try out again.  I am behind on some of the skills, but he likes my attitude and willingness to play.

Mommy and I went to Kohl's and bought me tennis shoes and Vans for school, and a pair of sandals.  I wear a size 13 now.  I'm a growing boy!

Mommy and I went to McDonald's, so I could play on the playground.  It was just too hot to play outside.  We went over to my old house, to see the neighbors.  I played with Debra's grandchildren and Jon Jon.  Mommy and I played catch.  She is not scared of a hardball, like Barbara is.

It was 9pm when we got home from my old neighborhood.  Debra promised to make sure we are invited to the neighborhood parties.  I was too wound-up to go to sleep, so I hung out with Barbara for thirty minutes before I said I was ready to sleep.

 Mimz and her friends ha a clear day to view Mt. McKinley, which is the tallest mountain peak in North America.  She said it was gorgeous.
