A to the Rescue!

 

Just when I thought my week couldn't possibly get more exciting- it did!! Mommy and Nana were taking their morning walk to the park and came across this poor turtle. Someone had fished in the pond, and snagged it in the face, with a hook. Mommy came home and told P. Daddy and I, and we all raced to the park to take the turtle to the vet. The vet successfully removed the hook, and we returned the turtle to the park. I had everyone calling me Alicia, because I felt like an official animal rescuer! I also got a new (used) Barbie Jeep from one of my friends (who had outgrown it). Mommy actually got into it with me this week, which was a sight! She's a good sport though, and we had fun driving it around the driveway. I have been doing LOTS of swimming, now that I don't need help. We had a trip to the emergency room this week. Mommy was putting my sister in her carseat (because we were going to a friend's house to swim), and I was messing around outside the car. I squatted down, and she couldn't see me. She accidentally slammed the car door shut on my hand! I screamed, it hurt so bad. Of course, Mommy felt terrible, and we were both crying by the time we reached the hospital. Luckily, Nana got off early, and was able to meet us there, to help with my sister. The doctor took several x-rays of my hand, and luckily none of my bones were broken. I just had some minor swelling, which was gone the following morning. On a lighter note, we had family movie night Friday and watched The Aristocats. We ate ice cream and it was really fun. Then, I talked P. Daddy into having a slumber party with me in my room. It was SOOO cool! I also spent some time at Nana's house this weekend. I showed her how to change the battery in one of the toys in my playhouse, and I think I surprised her by how much I know about fixing things! Nana found a baby opossum nest in her backyard too, which made her scream! Tonight we are meeting some friends out for dinner which shoudl be fun. Mommy has already started planning my birthday party and I cannot wait! I decided on a Little Mermaid theme. The weather has been gorgeous too. We've been spending a LOT of time, especially in the mornings, outside. I like to slide on my slide, blow bubbles, play games with Mommy, and chase my sister around. Mommy has also been researching preschool curriculums for me for the Fall. She found one she likes (we'll be starting homeschool two days a week in the Fall), and she is already planning out a schedule. I'm pretty excited. I am really quite eager to learn how to read.
