I also spent lots of time walking around the zero depth pool.
They also had a slide just for my size. We also spent some time on the lazy river and other splash areas. It's a nice park to visit on a very hot day.
I also got in some play time at one of our local parks in Dundee.
In the beginning of August, we spent a wonderful evening at the Monroe county fair. We had a great time riding on the ferris wheel.
I also got to ride the choo choo train.
We even saw a circus. Very intersting and fun!
As an added bonus, we were walking around before we left and we heard the Spongebob Squarepants theme song. We turned the corner and there he was, singing and dancing to his song. I of course had to have my picture taken with him. I couldn't stop sitting on his big black shoes. We spent some quality time together dancing and shaking hands. What a wonderful moment.
Here's a couple pics of me in one of my favorite purple jerseys. This is my Chester Taylor Minnesota Vikings jersey. I also now have an Adrian Peterson jersey that my Daddy says I have to wear every time the Vikings play.
For Labor Day weekend we spent a few days in Iowa. Here I am visiting Great Grandma Dorothy. I wasn't very happy this day. Sorry Great Grandma.
Grandma Kris and I spending some quality time on her porch.
My Godmother Jessica and I snuggling.
Aunt Maria and I having a chat.
Uncle Josh and I. What a goofball!
Daddy and I got some playing time in at Eden Valley while visiting Grandpa Larson. Kenley and Marlee joined us along with their Daddy's.
On September 10th, I became a big boy and started preschool. Yep, that's right. I went to school all by myself. It's hard getting up early to get on the bus but I did it with no tears. The bus picks me up at 7:15 a.m. and my school is from 9:00-12:00. I have lunch at school and then they bring me home. I am just going on Tuesdays and Thursdays for now. Mommy says she may let me go more often if I like it. So far, so good. I also still get my speech therapy while at school.
The last update I have is I am participating in a nutritional study at the U of M. We went in for an initial appointment where I had to get weighed and measured. I also had a Dexa scan that told the Doctors how much body fat is in my body. As a reward for being a good boy I got a new toy car. My parents learned how to do a diet diary. This means they weigh and measure every thing I eat and drink. It's a lot of work but they only had to do it for 2 weeks and then we move on to something different. I am in the study for 18 months and will have a few appointments to see my progress. My Mom has weekly phone calls with a study coordinator to talk about what I've been doing and what project they have in store for us. My parents are hoping that this will improve my nutrition and maybe get me to eat more foods. I also weighed 29 lbs 9 oz. Woo Hoo!!Okay, so that's all I have to say for now. I hope to update everyone a little sooner this time. I love and miss you all!!
Until next time,
Luke William
