PANDA AND THE MOON

I had my first kindergarten music performance called “Panda and the Moon.” I played a monkey!

My music teacher, Mrs. Kelly, recorded the performance, so I will have a link for that eventually.

Here we are performing the Monkey Rap: “Nana banana buh-buh-banana!”

Here is the cast! The monkeys, peacocks, moon, panda, and fish.

J. WILLY’S

For Leap Day, we went out to dinner in the historic Willamette neighborhood of West Linn. Daddy and I played Tic-Tac-Toe while we waited for our food.

I chose the restaurant, J. Willy’s, because they had pizza on the kid’s menu. It was really good pizza!

BIRD NEST

Mommy’s friend, Aliah, had an abandoned bird nest in her yard. She heard that I’ve been interested in seeing pictures of bird nests lately, so she gave this one to me. It’s pretty cool, huh?

HAIRCUT AND PLAYGROUND

It was haircut day! While I waited for my turn, I did what Daddy and I call “the joke dance.”

Here’s the “before” picture:

Then after my haircut, we went to my school’s playground to play.

Here’s the “after” picture:

DENTIST DUTY

It’s that time of year again…

Don’t let my sort of smiling face fool you. I can’t stand this place. It’s my very least favorite medical requirement. (I was kind of happy at this moment, though, because the hygienist was done with her horrible work and the dentist just does a quick look.)

Then I was FREEEEE! (No cavities!)

DRAGONS LOVE TACOS

On Valentine’s Day, my kindergarten class got in a big school bus…

…went to the Newmark Theatre in downtown Portland…

…and saw the play, Dragons Love Tacos!

This is what the stage looked like.

This is what we looked like while we waited for everyone to get seated. It was kind of boring.

This is what me and Mommy looked like.

And after the play was over, we got to look out at Broadway while we waited to go back to our bus. (I’m the one in the blue comfy coat because, of course I am.)
