A Visit to Grandmother and Pop's House

What a treat!!!  I got to go to Grandmother and Pop's house for the weekend in Muscle Shoals.  We had a great time.  At Grandmother and Pop's house there is so much fun stuff to do.  I got to grill steaks with Pop and ate all kinds of candy.  There were more toys there than I have ever seen in one place.  I felt right at home among all of the dolls.  Alex and Lucy both wanted me to sleep with them, but I decided to sleep with my new doll friends.  It is so great to feel loved and wanted.

Lucy wanted to play Barbies with me.  I had never seen a Barbie before.  They are really kind of strange looking.  I have never seen naked bodies quite like these.  They had all of these fancy clothes that I had a really hard time putting on them.  I never thought that they really fit well.  Most of them barely covered up the dolls.  I don't understand why they had to be so tight.  There were all kinds of shoes and purses.  I can't imagine having to walk around in high heels all the time.  I am glad that none of the clothes fit me.  I am sure that Lucy would have tried to put some of them on me if she could.  She loved the Barbies, but I never felt neglected.  Lucy never let go of me and wanted me right there with her.  We had a fun time playing together.  Here we are.

Our last night there we got to go out to eat at a restaurant called Fiesta Mexicana.  We had Mexican food. This was strange since we live in America, but I did kind of like it.  Alex and Lucy both got chicken nuggets and French fries.  I didn't see what was so Mexican about eating that, but I guess that was what they wanted.  Alex did share some of her chips with me.

Even though the weather was good all weekend, we never went outside to play.  There was just too much fun stuff to do inside.  It was a wonderful weekend, and I hope that I will get to go back there again soon.  It is just great to be a part of the Wilson family.

Off to School with Alex

There have be a lot of changes in my family over the past two weeks.  Becca started school again at UAB so that she can learn to be a teacher.  Lucy started day care, and Alex started Pre-K at Moody Elementary School.  I had a fantastic morning because I got to go to school for part of the day with Alex.  It was so much fun.  Alex has two teachers:  Miss Martin and Miss Holmes.  They are super nice and let me do centers with all of the kids.  I made lots of new friends. 



   

     I got to make a picture with stamp
       markers with Elise.  This was really
     neat and had lots of colors.



I played games on some kind of computer
called an iPad with Charlie.  It made a lot
of beeping sounds and robots talked to us.

                

 

  I got to read a story with Alex about a llama
 who gets sick.  I didn't know that llamas
  could get sick, but I guess that they can.



Samantha and I built a tower
together out of blocks.  I had a good
time knocking it down too. 

                
After playing in the centers with everyone I got to go and eat lunch.  This was CRAZY.  There were kids everywhere.  Alex brought her lunch and shared it with me.  I wished that we had gotten to have what the cooks made.  Most of the kids got to have pizza and cookies.  I love to eat pizza, but I was still happy to eat ham and cheese with Alex.  Don't we look good having lunch together? 

It was a great morning!!  I am hoping that I will get to go back to school with Alex again soon.  It was fun to spend the morning with her and make lots of new friends.
