DC United!

I woke up at 5:20 this morning and was terrified that Sher Khan (sp?) was going to get me. The tiger from the Jungle Book. I must have been dreaming. Mom got up to help me, but wasn't so thrilled about getting up so early. After she got me to calm down, I went back to sleep and got up around 7 for the day. Mom still wasn't ready to get up, but she did so reluctantly. I only wanted raisins for breakfast, so that's what I had, even though she told me that wasn't really enough.

Mom put on the rest of Mary Poppins for me, so I finally got to finish watching it. I liked the movie a lot and kept singing "Spoonful of Sugar" the rest of the day. When we had lunch, I told mom it was most delightful :)

After lunch, we got our stuff ready for the soccer game tonight. As we were packing my backpack for the DC United tailgate and game, I was gathering the snacks I wanted and I got really excited and asked mom if we could pack some junk, lol. Though I'm a really great eater, I do have a terrible sweet tooth! I ended up packing some dried fruit, some colored gold fish, and a bottle of water, so I guess that's not too bad. I also put in some markers, crayons, bubbles, a tablet of paper so I could draw, and Squeaky, the penguin mom bought me at the aquarium. She is aptly named Squeaky because, you guessed it, she squeaks!

After we ate, mom showered and we went out to ride my bike for a bit. After going back and forth in front of the house a few times, we decided to walk down the hill and ride through the rest of the neighborhood which is a lot flatter. I did GREAT and rode all by my self! When we got down the street, there were no kids at the playground, so mom let me stop and play for a bit. I'm learning to pump my legs to keep me going, but I don't really pump them hard enough to make enough of a difference.

Do you like the outfit I chose? Even the socks are mismatched.



I think mom and dad need to raise my seat this year. I'm slightly taller than last season!



Swinging was fun!



When daddy came home from his run (the last "long" one before the marathon next Saturday!), we drove to the tailgate. I had a blast there, but was the only kid there since Arabelle didn't come and Gabriel moved to Texas :( I missed my friends, but had a great time. Mom even let me have a green cupcake! I played with my soccer ball with some of mom and dad's friends, so that was fun. Now I can't wait for my soccer class to start again!



This awesome van pulled up partway through the tailgate. I thought it was pretty cool.



All bundled up and ready to head in to the stadium!



The game was awesome and DC beat Real Salt Lake 1-0! Woo hoo! I told mom and dad I wasn't tired, but what do you think???



I'm hoping the weather is nice tomorrow (it's supposed to be) so we can go to a new park! Mom says we might even take her bike and the bike trailer. We'll see!
