Piano Man

I am taking piano lessons and have been for the last 9 months or so. I can read music and I occasionally like to practice at home. Uncle Josh found us a great piano on craigslist. Perfect!

1st field trip of the 2011-12 school year

My class walked down to the fire station. We toured the whole station. We got to watch a fireman slide down the pole, all the kids took turns sitting inside the fire truck and shooting water out of the fire hose. It was a nice morning!

Labor day weekend pool party...

...at Cici and Poppy's house. We enjoyed a low country boil, swimming, beach time and relaxing. Super fun. We had a very busy holiday weekend filled with family, friends, and a little day trip to the zoo.

Labor Day 2011 Family Day at the Zoo

A great little day trip. We drove 2 hours to the zoo. I have not been there since my 1st birthday. We checked out all the animals and fed the giraffes. I wanted to know when we were going to the gift shop about 200 times in the 2 hours that we were at the zoo. We went to the gift shop after we saw everything and I got a stuffed sloth. I named him slothy and I love him. I want to tell you that I earned the trip to the zoo by completing my 1st 'helper chart'. I got 20 stickers for helping around the house with different jobs. I'm such a good boy, most of the time.

Cahal's Helper Chart

We are trying something new around here. It is a helper chart with chores on it. Some things that I help with are feeding Ruby, setting the table for dinner and practicing piano. If I complete a task then I get a sticker. 20 stickers=a trip to the zoo. I think it took me about a week to get all 20 stickers. We went to the zoo in Columbia on Labor day. It was great.
