Surprise Party for Ba

Ba has been in Toronto for a little while visiting relatives who live there. Today she came back and we had a big surprise for her.

Ba's birthday is in July and she turned 70 this year. Mommy thought it would be fun to throw a surprise party for Ba when she arrived back in Vancouver. She'd never expect it. Mommy was right, Ba was really surprised!


Here I am with Khaki and Jacob helping Ba blow out her candles. It was fun surprising Ba. It was most fun eating chocolate birthday cake.

New Classes

School has started and besides preschool, Mommy has signed me up for some fun stuff. I have a new class at the Arts Umbrella called Dress Up Drama. My best buddy, Matthew, from preschool is in the class with me. Each class, my teacher, Rene, tells us a story. Then the dress-up trunks are opened and we can choose any costume that we want. Then we pretend we are parts of the story that Rene told us. Here I am as Batman. Batman wasn't actually part of the story but I had a lot of fun pretending to be a super hero.


Besides Dress Up Drama, I've also started piano lessons.

I hope that I'll be able to play "Wheels On The Bus" soon.

Watch Out Lightning McQueen

I got picked! I got picked! Mommy got a phone call last week from the Friends of Ferrari and they picked me to drive in one of their races!

Here I am all suited up with Mr. Franco. Mr. Franco is the founder of Friends of Ferrari.


Thumbs up. I'm ready to race. Here I am waiting for my turn. I'm having fun cheering with all the other kids who are also waiting.


Finally it's my turn. I'm racing in the fourth heat. The winner of this race goes to the winner's round and the loser goes to the consolation round. Cross your fingers for me. I hope I win!


Well, I didn't win my first race so I ended up in the consolation round. In the consolation round race, instead of only two cars racing at once, all five cars race all at the same time. THAT was really fun. I almost won that race. I was in the lead for most of the race but I think my car started to run out of batteries at the end and I got passed at the last turn. I came in second.


The winner of the consolation round gets to race in one of the winner's circle heats but the kid who won the consolation round didn't want to race anymore so I got to race THREE times! Unfortunately, I didn't win that race either but I did have a lot of fun!


Here I am with my racer's medal. All the kids got one. I've always wanted a medal so I'm going to keep it in my treasure box.
