Visiting Great Auntie...

This past week Mom took Nan, Sister, and me out to visit Great Auntie E. She has been ill and we wanted to cheer her up. She is very special to all of us and just a super amazing lady.

She was a grade school teacher for a couple of decades. She is always asking about my studies. This trip I brought my books and instead her reading to me, I read to her. She was so proud. 

We are all very grateful for her wonderful, loving, caring spirit.

Great Auntie, you and your faith are an inspiration to us all.

Batman...

Homemade style...

Crochet hat, crochet mask, crochet bat-a-rang, and sewn satin cape.

 

Thanks, Mom.

Alien Bones...

Mom found this free balloon at a lunch meeting she attended. I could not resist requesting a photo while wearing my glow-in-the-dark bones jammies.

New Set of Wheels...

Enjoying my new wheels from Grandma and Grandpa. Although, everyone agrees it has been all Grandpa's doing...

I jumped on, started pedaling, and never stopped. Great fun.

Captain America...Revisited...

I attended a birthday party this past week with the theme of super heroes. Of course, I had to go as Captain America. This time, Mom and Dad surprised me with the full costume and a new shield. I was so excited. Plus, my Avengers sneakers went perfectly with everything.

Avengers Assemble...

Recently when I introduce myself I will say, "I'm really into super heroes". As a special surprise, Mom and Dad took me to the big theater to see the Avengers movie. They said they debated it heavily but it was a clean movie and wanted me to see it on the big screen.

Plus, the movie has been out for months so when they took me, we basically had a private viewing. As you can see from the photos, no one else was there.

Oh, there were some scary parts - mostly when the villain appeared. Mom said she could feel my little heart beating fast. Even just the appearance of the villain would send my heart racing. But aside from that, I did alright. Note in the below photo, at the far right lower corner is my special meow Daniel. He kept me from being too scared.

When asked if I would see it again I replied, "No, it's too scary, but the heroes were awesome!"

I Spy Quilt...

This past week Mom surprised me with this completed quilt. Dad has been letting me use a very special, very old quilt that was his. However, it is getting a bit worn so in order to preserve it, we're putting it away. To ease the pain of being without the special blanket, Mom made this one for me.

It's a type of "I Spy" quilt. There are lots of different, non-coordinating prints (all of which either myself or my sister selected). Then, we can look at it and see how many different items and see how many different things we can find at a given time. Initially, we thought the quilt was going to be one of the many projects Mom gives away. I was delighted when after story time I walked into my room and this was on my bed. Now I cannot sleep without it.
