This week I've been sick, yuck sick.  I was out of it last Sunday, started running a high temp Monday morning, which stuck for a couple days, then I got an awful cough.  On Thursday, we went to the doctor and I have "almost bronchitis."  I am taking an inhaler for a couple days, and an antibiotic.  I'm feeling much better today, Saturday, and miraculously, no one else in the house caught it.  Mama and I played outside tonight.  It was actually cool out.  

Playing in my pirate ship, looking for ferries.  
Mama said "typical Keegan."  I love to fly off the slide.  

On Friday, dada and I built a "car show" down the entire length of the hallway.  No doubt, I have a lot of cars.  

Crazy hair and a chocolate chip cookie.  Scar on forehead has healed well, as has finger.  

Last weekend mama and dada's friends Ruthie and Scott, and precious 5 month old Olivia visited the beach.  The weather was pretty rotten, but we made a good time of it. 

When the rain stopped, we were able to hang out under the beach house and play, until the mosquitos came out.  
I think Olivia had a great time!

A few weekends ago, Grandpa and Grandma flew on a Southwest airplane to visit me.  They brought lots of new toys, as usual, and I'm one spoiled grandkid.  Grandma loved to soak in the sun at Ga and Papa's beach house.  


We finally brought out the stomp rocket this weekend.  My best buddy Luke gave it to me for my birthday, but mama stashed it until a "rainy day."  Everyone had fun taking turns seeing how far they could launch it.  Look at me reaching for the stars. 

Mama stomped it high, but not the highest.  Mr. Harvey got that award easy.   We used Dale and Debra's driveway, Ga and Papa's neighbors - my family will stay there at Thanksgiving.  We can't wait to see everyone!

Thanks for visiting Grandma and Grandpa.  Can't wait to see you at Thanksgiving. 

On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30 to 2, dada teaches taekwondo at my school for 3 and 4 year olds.  Mama and dada decided before school started that I wouldn't participate because nap time is from 12:30 to 2, and I need my sleep.  Well, I showed them, I just didn't sleep. Instead, I laid on my nap map and chewed on my shirt out of sheer boredom, so that when Ga and dada picked me up, I was soaked down to my belly - gross.  So, dada told the other taekwondo instructor that if I was awake (and chewing) when he went to the class room to get the other kids that take taekwondo, to grab me too.  Hence, my first day of taekwondo.  

Who's the boss now?  Tough guy. 
Dada was impressed that I walked in a straight line and followed the leader all the way from my classroom to the class.  
It's very important to stretch during taekwondo.  Here, I am doing the butterfly stretch.  Note that my pants are rolled up 5 times at the waist, 3 times at the bottom, and 16 times in the sleeves.  They just don't make uniforms in size "tiny."  Note, however, that I finally reached the 28 pound mark at my last doctor's appointment.  30 lbs isn't so far off!

My grandma sent this cool lunchbox, called the Laptop Lunchbox.  Mama loves it because it's BPA free, and I love it because mama fills it with all good picky foods.  In this version, I have Cheddar Bunnies, cheese squares, tofu, watermelon, and a berry mix.  

And this one is cubed turkey, cheese, grapes, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, and crackers.  
These lunches are so much better than last year's lunches!  Thanks grandma!

On Sunday, we traded places with Mac and went outside to run around a bit. 

The recent rains have made the flowers bloom.

Drinking mama's too

The Pied Piper at Crystal Beach

Ga and Papa bought me a boat for my birthday, and we finally got around to blowing it up this weekend.  All the adults took turns taking us for rides, and we couldn't get enough.  

On Sunday we went for a family boat ride on dada's boat.  It was nice to speed through the water, and it was actually nice when the wind was whipping in our hair. 

Dada was proud of me for bringing my fishing rod along, so we stopped to cast a few. 
Whew, it sure did get hot when we stopped the boat.  

Ga and mama didn't fish, but they were good cheerleaders.  

More beach time

Part of the fun of the beach is that I get to run and run and run and, well, you get it.  Really, my little legs don't stop. 
I needed some energy to keep my legs moving, and the ice cream man came along just at the right time.  Mama got ice cream too, and I decided that I liked hers better than mine, so I ate hers, and mine.  Spoiled, yep!

Hanging out on dada!  I told him his whiskers were prickly. 

First day of school 2009

On Tuesday, I started my second year at Second Baptist.  I'm in the "3 year old class", and I'm the smallest one - mama wasn't sure some of those kids are really 3, but we'll take their word for it.  I go Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 - 2:30.  I am staying every day for lunch and nap time this year.  I have special classes in Spanish and gymnastics.  Today, we pretended we were Humpty Dumpty and fell off the wall - tuck and roll.  And when mama came home from work, I yelled out "Hola!"  

Happy 6 year anniversary mama and dada!

Mama pre-celebrated by painting a "6" on her toes to show the world how much she loves dada.
The happy couple, after six years of marriage, and almost 16 years together as a couple.  
Hee hee, pee pee on the beach -- caught red handed!
Papa got a new golf cart, and it is fine.  
I learned how to twirl in circles and splash everyone.


Ga and Papa celebrated their 41st anniversary on Monday, the day after mama and dada celebrated their anniversary.  

I'm not typically very interested in art (which is probably because I have a hard time sitting in one spot for longer than 8 seconds), but for some reason, I asked mama today if I could paint.  So, out came the paints and I made quite a masterpiece.  Maybe I'm getting geared up for school?  When I went to meet my teachers at school today, they told me they have an easel and we'll paint this year - starting next week on Tuesday!
