Lawnmowers and more lawnmowers

I love lawnmowers. I can hear one from afar and I can spot one hiding in the back of people's open garage. I have the whole process down. I told Mommy and Daddy, "The grass grows. Daddy gets the lawnmower out and puts gas in it. Then he starts it and mows the grass down."

This summer I got to spend a long weekend at Nana and Papa Dunn's house. They had a house full, including Uncle Mitch, Aunt Tiff and Uncle Henry, and Caden and Carter. Papa got his lawnmower out and took me for a ride. I rode with him on it for almost an hour. That was one of the biggest highlights of the summer so far!!!

New baby sister is coming

I learned that I am going to be a big brother to a new baby sister. How exciting!! Mommy and Daddy said that she will be here around Halloween time. Mommy said that the baby is growing in her tummy. That is just weird to me. When she told me,at first, I thought that she was kidding. I really laughed hard. Then, she told me that I used to be in her tummy. Now that is even more weird. What is she talking about? Regardless, I am practicing on sharing so that I am ready for her to come. Mommy and Daddy said that I will be a great big brother. I hope they are right!!!

Elmo

Mommy and Daddy took me to see Elmo's Green Thumb at the Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids. It was so much fun. Elmo planted a flower and then all of Elmo's friends watched it grow. There were so many movie stars there, like Elmo, Telly, Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, Abby, Zoe, Oscar, and Grover. I wanted to give them a hug so bad, but they didn't have time. It was a great show. I wanted to go back again the next day too.
