August is in full swing, and I’ve been enjoying every minute of it, including apple picking and baseball games with my cousins.  One of my favorite summer pastimes is visiting the Travers Zoo in Millbrook, NY.  I especially love the lemurs they have there, but also the gift shop!  On my most recent visit I chose a small chipmunk finger puppet, which I named Mr. Goleechi Nonya Snickles.  Making up silly names for things is still something I have a real knack for!

I’m getting ready to move up to the Pre-K classroom next month, and I’ve already transferred my cubby there in anticipation.  In the past I have been a bit rigid and inflexible where change is concerned, but I seem to be taking this one in stride.  I’m also working on some other big boy activities, like being in charge of getting myself dressed in the mornings, rather than waiting for Mommy and Daddy to assist me.

I’m also working on saving money in my piggy bank, because Mommy and Daddy are teaching me that I can use it to buy myself a toy.  I’m really enjoying shaking my Papa Steve down for pocket change each time I see him.
