Slip Sliding on Skates

Today I tried ice skating for the first time. Mommy took me onto the ice while Daddy watched us and took photos.

The ice is really slippery and it isn't as easy to skate as I thought it would be. To start, Mommy and I just walked around the edge of the rink until I felt more comfortable with skates on.

Skating is pretty hard and I fell a lot of times. With Mommy's help, I learned pretty quickly how to get up on my own.

Mommy thought it would be easier for me to learn if I pushed a cone around on the ice. It did help my skating and my getting up.

I think I had fun today. I'd like to try skating again (but not anytime soon).

Christmas Recital

In case you weren't able to attend in person, here's my Christmas Eve piano recital.

Only One More Sleep

I'm so excited. Only one more sleep until Christmas! Mommy and I made some peanut butter cookies for Santa (he said they are his favourite) and will leave him a cup of coffee to help him stay awake during his long night. The reindeer like carrots.

I hope the day goes quickly so the last sleep before Christmas day comes quickly. I hope I can sleep tonight.

Marriage Update

I had a play date with my friend Marissa this afternoon. She asked me to marry her! What's a guy to do? Now I have to choose between TWO girls.

Hmmmm. I don't know if Marissa likes spiders...

In Concert - December 24th

I want to do a concert at the party on Christmas Eve so I asked Mommy to make me a poster and some tickets. I hope a lot of people buy tickets!

Kinder Kangaroos

I graduated from Kinder Kangaroos gymnastics class today. Here I am with my purple graduation ribbon.

Mommy got to join me in the gym for the last part of my class. I showed her everything that I've learnt. She was pretty impressed. My favourites are the trampoline and swinging on the rings. Mommy thinks I'm crazy and is glad I'm in gymnastics to get all my sillies out.

This is probably the only non-blurry activity picture of me. I'm finally sitting still.

Gingerbread House

This is the house that Avi (and Mommy) built.

The Future Mrs. Maru?

This is Shyree. She asked me to marry her today. I told her I'd think about it. I really like her, she's fun, she's smart, she has a great imagination and she's pretty. We always have so much fun together. The only problem is she doesn't like spiders. Since I don't like spiders, if we get married, who will shoo the spiders away?

Letter to Santa

I felt like drawing a picture for Santa today. Mommy said we can mail it to his workshop in the North Pole. I hope he likes it.

I'm Growing

I think I've grown. This morning when my friend Thomas came over, we tried to fit ourselves into our school back packs. When we started preschool Thomas fit into his. Now we're too big.
