The night before my big family birthday party, I commissioned Grandma and Uncle Mike to play cars with me.

NEW HAMPSHIRE, DAY 4
Yesterday was our last day in New Hampshire. It rained in the morning, so I stayed in and played with Duplo blocks and my cars. Then we went to King Arthur Flour, where I tried (and am pretty sure I liked) a maple flavored lollipop. Then I went to Left Bank Books on the Dartmouth campus where I immediately found their stash of cars!
Bye, New Hampshire! Bye, Grandma and Grandpa!
NEW HAMPSHIRE, DAY 3
We went back to the beach! This time, I wasn’t as interested in going in the water. But Grandpa showed me how to use my fishing reel on his boat and I played with my cars in the sand. Uncle Mike and Auntie Sarah joined us, too, and Uncle Mike pretended to be a sea monster.
Also, we went out to eat for breakfast and dinner. Not only was I amazingly well-behaved, but I also nibbled on some fruit, Grandma’s pickles, Mommy’s home fries, and Auntie Sarah’s maple syrup. Plus, I succeeded in sucking on a straw for the very first time! I’m not totally sure how I did that, but I’ll work on it again today.
NEW HAMPSHIRE, DAY 1
Wow, what a day in Grantham! We went to the lake and I loooved playing in the water. We got to see Grandpa’s new boat. I helped Grandma vacuum, played in my new red car, and nibbled on some pizza! What will tomorrow bring?
2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY
Yesterday was my 2nd birthday celebration! Grandma, Grandpa, Nana and Papa all came out to visit. And Uncle Mike, Auntie Sarah, and of course, Mom, Dad and Chubs were there, too.
First, we had brunch at Marie Callender’s, my favorite restaurant to happily scream in. Then we went home to open presents and eat sandwiches and cake! (Well, everyone else ate sandwiches and cake. I ate prunes!)
Thank you, everyone, for the gifts and for celebrating with me!
MATCHBOX BONANZA
Grandma and Grandpa are visiting and, having heard about my passion for all things cars and trucks, they brought me dad’s old Matchbox cars and Tonka trucks! I was in car heaven! I still can’t believe how many cars I have.
(Oh, and then we went to the C&M Cafe for lunch.)
I have tons of cars and trucks!
KING ARTHUR FLOUR
We crossed the river into Vermont to go to King Arthur Flour, where everyone ate delicious sandwiches and salads, except for me (I had a delectable oatmeal and butternut squash number prepared by mother). We also visited the store attached to the restaurant that made everyone want to become bakers.
Afterward, we went back to New Hampshire near the Dartmouth campus. While mom, dad, Uncle Mike and Auntie Sarah browsed Left Bank Books, Grandma and Grandpa hung out with me outside to watch the people wander by.
GRANTHAM
We made it to New Hampshire! Grandma and Grandpa have a house in Grantham where I met their nice dog, Pi. Dad and Grandpa went kayaking on Eastman Lake (Grandpa used the kayak that he and dad built themselves!) while I played in the sand on the beach. We’ll be here for a few days, so stay tuned…
GRANDMA & GRANDPA BIRTHDAY VISIT
Grandma and Grandpa came all the way from New York to visit me for my birthday!
MY BIRTHDAY PARTY
Grandma and Grandpa, Nana and Papa, and Uncle Mike all came out to celebrate my birthday! Plus, Auntie Lisa wished me a happy birthday from Washington.
I ate my first bit of cake, got lots of toys and clothes, and had tons of fun!
