Oh No, Say It Isn't So...

Not The Big 5-0!

Here are some pics from my Pop-Pop's birthday celebration. We took him out to eat at a spot we have never gone to before called the "California Pizza Kitchen". Anyone who knows my Pop-Pop, should also know that he LOVES italian food. It was a really nice place, the food was good, and we had a great time!

We went to SBC today and I learned that this was another special Sunday called "Easter". There are lots of people at my church on most Sundays but, it seemed like there were even more there today. They all must have known that it was "Easter" too.

We sang and clapped our hands, just like we always do, and I had a good time. Pastor Reed told us the story of how "Jesus rose" on this day and that He lives in all of our hearts. I didn't understand some parts of the story but, I guess I will when I got older.

The "palms" that Grammy saved in the "vase" last Sunday were a little droopy but, they made it to "Easter Sunday", just like she said they would. I was hoping that we could keep them forever but, it looks like they're not going to last that long.

Here are a few pics of me and my two "Easter" bunnies that Grammy took after we got home from church. Mommy said that they were both given to me for my first "Easter", when I was 4 months old. The last pic is an "Easter" basket that I made for my Mommy at day care!

"Palm Sunday" @ SBC

Sermons 4 Kids

Today was a special day at my church... it was something called "Palm Sunday". I'm still learning my days of the week and I had no idea what a "palm" was but, I found out when we got to church.

Pastor Reed talked about a big parade that the people had for Jesus. He said that Jesus was riding down the street on something called a "donkey" and the people waved their "palms" and cheered for Him.

After the service was over, SBC gave everybody some "palms" to take home. They were long, yellow, and green. I got a chance to hold some and it was fun waving them back back and forth.

When we got home, Grammy took all of our "palms" and put them in something called a "vase". She said that would be a good place to keep them until next week, when we will celebrate something called "Easter Sunday" so, stay tuned.

Here are some pics that Grammy took before we left the house and at the church. She said to tell you to click on the image of Jesus at the parade for a special surprise... it's a page that you can print out and color about this special day!

A Lesson In "Potty Training"...

From a Place Called "I-K-E-A"

Today, my Pop-Pop and Grammy went to a store called "I-K-E-A" and they took me along for the ride. I usually like the places that they take me to but, when we got to this store, it just didn't look like the kind of place where I could have any fun. Boy, was I wrong!

After we walked around in the store for a while, we found a play area just for kids called "SMALAND". I got really excited about it, only to find out that I couldn't stay and play because I'm not "potty trained". What a bummer! I tried to explain that I'm working on the "potty thing" and I just need a little more time but, it didn't seem to matter to anyone. You either knew how to use the "pot" or you didn't. Needless to say, I was quite upset.

We continued to walk around in the store and just when I thought all hope was lost for having any fun, we found another play area... something called "The Ballroom". I've never seen so many balls in one place before! I saw kids rolling around in the balls, jumping up and down on the balls, throwing the balls, and having all kinds of fun with the balls. I was pleased to learn that there were no "potty rules" for this play area so, I joined in on the fun and had a really good time. My Grammy had to pull me out when it was time to go home and I wasn't happy about it.

Lesson Learned: I'm going back to "I-K-E-A" one day soon and, when I do, I'm going to show them a thing or two about "potty training". I've decided that I'm going to work this "potty thing" out because no "pot" is going to stand in the way of me getting into SMALAND! The Ballroom was great but, I want to move on to the next level. You can also add the name of this store to my list of new words to learn!
