Summer School

My first week of summer school is finished. I don't remember anything that happens during the day at school, but if you ask me specific questions like: did you read a story? did you play outside? did you play any games? - well, then I will give you a yes or no answer, but other then that it pretty much goes like this:

Mom: Sweetie, how was your day at school?
Me: good.
Mom: What did you do?
Me: I don't know.
Mom: Did you have fun?
Me: yes.
Mom: Did you meet any new friends?
Me: yes.
Mom: What were their names?
Me: I don't know.

My teacher assured Mom that I am doing well in school, curious about the work in the classroom I like to show things to him and have him help me with games and things...There are definitely a lot of rules to remember though.

Beach Combing


We spent some time at the beach when we were visiting the coast.

It is unusual that the beach offers this kind of sunny weather in Washington. Dad and I found lots of beach glass for Mom. Aunt Renee, Jack, Henry, and I even made a sand castle.

Pirates!







I met Mom and Dad at the beach house for 4th of July. We were pirates in the annual parade. Joe, Kelly, and Addy joined us this year for an extra good time! The weather was fantastic.

A Trip with Nani


Nani took Jack, Henry, and I on a trip to a hotel in Westport on the Washington coast. We had so much fun hanging out and doing fun stuff.
I keep asking Mom: "When are we going to go to Nani's house?"

What's New With Colton?


We have had a busy busy busy summer so far! It feels like it just started but things are already in full swing! I start my summer school session for Montessori on July 27th. I will go to summer school for 2 weeks so they can determine which classroom would be the best fit for me. School starts September 1st! I am sooo excited. We have school uniform colors and I already got my new school lunch box.
"Boom, Boom, Pow" by Black Eyed Peas is one of my current favorite songs. I am really good at recognizing a song after just a few notes! I am also a fan of: "the hide and seek song" ...which Mom says is really called: "Ready or Not" by The Fugees.


In other news: My latest meal time antic -
"I like it Mom, I just don't want to eat it."

Tractor!!






We went to Vancouver for Father's Day. Grandpa had a surprise for us...his friend Dennis restored the old Patterson family tractor and Grandpa took us for rides.









The Carousel - my favorite


The carousel is my favorite part of the zoo, though I still don't like to ride the horses so I talked Mom into sitting on the sleigh with me.

A Trip to the Zoo


Our zoo has a new penguin exhibit and since Mom had to take her new car to the dealership for its very first maintenance check-up we thought we would take the loaner car over to the zoo and check out the penguins. We had great weather and lots of fun...though Mom forgot to take photos when we got to the penguin part....silly Mom.






We did get photos of the flamingos and a cool pic of the giraffe.
