the other day you and mom went the bicycle shop to buy a bike. you picked out an awesome red and black one. very cool. you like this bike so much that the first thing you did on the day after the purchase was to get up early and ride you bike on the patio. usually you get up and climb into bed with mom and dad or play in the family room. on this morning you got up, put on your helmet, open the screen door and started to ride. it was an awesome site for mom and i to see you from our bedroom enjoying your brand new bicycle.

this is a collection of art you made at school in the last few months. highlights include a school of fish, a desert scene with cactus, and a worm on a string. keep drawing. i’m sure there will be more to come in the next few years and beyond.

Today you, me and gramps went to a spring training game here in Sarasota. Gramps wanted to take us for my birthday and to take you to your first professional baseball game. The Cincinnati Reds are in there last year of holding spring training camp here in Sarasota. The field is only a few minutes drive fromthe house. You had a great time. We watched the game, eat hot dogs (you had a chicken sandwich), soda and of course ice cream in a small Reds helmet.

today you had your first visit to the dentist. by mom’s account you did great. you received your first cleaning and as a result the dentist gave you a bag of toys. keep brushing.

Barack Obama became the 44th person to be elected president of the united states of America. And the first African-American to be elected president. This gives me hope for your future.
