Meet OLIVER!

Isn't he the cutiest thing?

We picked him up today. I'll let you know tomorrow how it goes tonight...so far he's asleep...let's see how long that will last.

I hope he doesn't miss his sister too much.

The Swimming Dancer

Nana has this new Sony Webbie HD camera. I can show off my moves in and out of the pool.
This is the coolest toy...Ileana and I can take video when we want. But we still need Nana to make the movies happen on our blogs.

Stay cool....I know I will,

The Big Splash

Hey all! I had a great time yesterday at my Uncle Mario's house. My cousins Samantha and Ileana and I played in the pool all afternoon. You can see by my video what fun we were having. Special thanks to Mark for giving me a hand to get on the BIG BALL and for catching me when I fell. All I need to learn now is to keep my mouth closed when I fall off...that water was not very tasty...but it sure was fun.

The Green Frisbee

Helloooo....just poppin' in to share this video....do you see the green Frisbee floating in the water? It's actually the one that pulled my tooth out....remember I told you about that?
(Tooth Update...Ileana found my tooth the next day. She asked for a reward....don't know if she got one....if she did it wasn't from me...saving my money for Lego's)

When Ileana comes over, we have lots of fun playing in the pool. I know you're thinking...that's not a very big pool...but, we have fun just floating around and staying cool. We fight a little and laugh a lot and the best part is we're still the best of friends in the end.

Ileana needs to come back so we can have more fun. She was here for a whole week and then had to go home....I hope she comes back real soon. I miss her...she's my BEST cousin.

Later,
Dylan

Life Is GOOD!

I've been having so much fun I've forgotten to add to my blog.

Last week was to die for. Let me tell you in just one week I went swimming, visited an old western town, went bowling, went to the park, played putt putt and learned to skate. Can you imagine...all this in just ONE week. Camp is really great...thanks Mom and Dad.

Somewhere in all this fun I lost another tooth. (That makes 2 now.) I was in the pool with my cousin Ileana and she threw a soft water Frisbee at me. It hit me right in the mouth (I think she was trying to get me quiet) and out it came. I thought she had done it on purpose but they convinced me otherwise. Still not sure about that one.

Then a tragedy occurred...I couldn't find my tooth anywhere. We looked all around inside the pool and it was not to be found. Nana said I'd have to write a note to the TF telling her what happened and why I didn't have any proof to show her. The note would have to be written really nice and neat and really convincing. She said the TF doesn't usually take excuses...either you have the proof or you don't. The TF would decide if she would leave any cash. I did my best and left her a note. (I guess she believed me cause she left me some LEGO money...eurika! Thanks TF)

Then came the weekend...I tell you I had a full week...my friend from school called and wanted me to go over to play...instead my parents took us both to the Children's Museum...there we met up with another of our classmates...we had a blast. I was so tired I had to rest on Sunday...to get ready for another full week of fun.

I'll write more during the week...let's see what we do this week.

Till later,
Dylan

SUMMER IS HERE

Been so busy I almost forgot to let you know that I'm officially a 2nd Grader now.....yeepee!!! (Actually, it won't be until Aug...but everyone keeps telling me that I am so I guess I am.)

Boy, I went from school to summer camp in just a few days and forgot to
login and give you the good news. We finished school with a fun field day...we played all day then had pizza for snack.

Then on Saturday I went to see Sid, The Science Kid. He's a pretty cool dude. Here's my picture with him incase you don't know who he is. If you get a chance watch him on PBS...he comes out early every morning. He has some great science tips to share. My Mom and I already know all the songs they sing like " I love my Mom....my Mom is cool...but now it's time...for fun at school".

On Monday I started my summer camp experience. I do have to get up very early and go to work with Mom but it's worth it. The camp is right next door to her office. On the first day we went swimming and on the second day we went to the park...can't beat that. Tomorrow is karaoke and miniature golf...this is the life. I could stay here for a while.

Okay, it's time for bed....gotta be in top form for my singing debut tomorrow...hope they have "Margaritaville" or "Have I Told You Lately...That I Love You" on their list. I know the words to those pretty good.

Dylan

PS...had my stitches taken out today...all went well..thanks for thinking about me!

Health Update

Greetings my friends,
Just want to let you know how I'm doing.
I went to school and felt pretty good. I guess Dr. Moore did a good job after all.
I was a little scared to go and show off my stitches but all my friends were very nice to me.
Everyone was happy to see me and it made me feel very good. Even my coach had a card to me...that was very nice of him...thanks Coach.

Thanks again!
Dylan

Can You Guess What Happened Today?

If you think I look like I've lost my last friend...you're right...I almost did. No, not really. This is me at the MedClinic this afternoon.

Here are some pictures so you can see how I looked. My Mommy and Nana always have a camera handy to record such events and there have been some really memorable ones I must say.

The first picture was right after they finished stitching me up. The second one is me sitting very still...I was in LOTS of pain at this point. Dr. Moore was not the gentlest person in the world. He told me he was 72 years old and I believe it. Needless to say I now have 5 stitches on my forehead and a big bump to match.

Let me tell you exactly what happened......I was at PE and decided I needed to go to the restroom. On my way there someone happened to put their leg out and I tripped...sending me into the the corner of the restroom wall. Actually, the walls at my school are really, really, really hard. There was blood all over the place...they told my Mommy I bleed like a stuffed piggy. My white shirt is still white...BUT my white shoes and my white socks have red speckles all over and they're ruined for life.

I will probably have a terrible headache and some black eyes tomorrow. I already told Nana I'm staying here for a few days. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Keep thinking of me!

Hi All....have you missed me?

GUESS WHAT......I finally lost my 1st tooth....can you believe it. Here's a picture to prove it.

Most of my friends have lost some and gotten new ones during the year and I was still waiting for mine to fall out. I'm sure glad I finally lost at least one tooth before the end of the year...that's how it's suppose to happen you know.

They've been loose for sometime but just didn't want to come out. My Daddy told me he could put a string on my tooth, tie the other end to the train and turn it on...that would pull it. Nana said tie a string on it...tie the other end to the doorknob and shut the door...that would do it. But I said "no, thanks". Last night I was playing in my room and all of a sudden out it came..no problem. I went to show my parents and they said...."thank goodness" it's out.

Of course the tooth fairy came to visit...she left me $5...not bad for the first one...maybe the price increases as the others fall out...I'll keep you posted.

The first thing this morning I went to see my friend the school nurse. I showed her what happened and asked her to put my name on her board (she has a list of everyone who has lost a tooth this year). She asked me when it happened...and I said Sunday. She wanted to put my name on the May list...I asked her to put it on the June list because there were just too many names on the May list...we compromised by putting it between the two months.

The rest of my week will be really busy...school is nearly over. Today we had our awards ceremony and we brought home all the stuff from our desks. The best part of all is that there won't be ANYMORE HOMEWORK....yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess we will just have some fun for the next 4 days. It's about time...a kid can't study all the time...gotta have a little fun.

I'll be back tomorrow with more information about the last week of school...stay tuned.

Dylan
