Swine in '09

This has been the summer of insanity. InZanity, that is... i'm going to try to recount the past 3 weeks events but I am not sure i can remember everything that has happened.

So we were were at camp and having a blast. Swimming. Playing. Listening to girls sing. Eating in the dining hall and spending time with Angie and Becca, my nannies. Then all of sudden the nannies disappeared and I got to see mommie for a whole day at camp! I was so excited to spend the whole day with mommie but a little confused about why she was not hanging out with all the counselors and campers. As it turns out, she heard there were flying pigs at camp and was trying to isolate us from them. If you are thinking that flying pigs=swine flu, then you are 110% correct, there was swine fluing around camp. I don't get what the big deal is because pigs are cool doods and things that fly are fly, but whatever it was, it was BAD, because after 24hours of isolation with mammasita, we packed up everything into the van and left camp!

The next thing I knew, I woke up and was at grandma and grandpa weinstein's house in Connecticut. We've been here ever since. It's been 2 weeks and we still can't go back to camp yet. So, we are waiting patiently. Dad took his big exam last week so I have been spending more time with him. We go for walks, go swimming, play outside, and lounge around the house. It is the shizznit. Daddie told me that we are going to spend the week together before he starts a rotation in ob/gyn back at our home in Rochester and if we are lucky, we might even get to go to Rochester for a few days because his friend Jon Mahoney is getting married this weekend!

Over the past few weeks, mommie and I have been spending so much time together - it's been great. We've gone swimming every day, we've been for long walks. and we've hung out with so many family and friends.

I get to jump in bed with grandma and grandpa in the morning and I get to talk to them all the time.

Aunt hillary and uncle josh came up for the past two weekends and i loved spending time with them. they danced with me and kissed me and i loved talking to them.

my friend henry came up from New Jersey and we had our first sleepover! henry is 3 days older than i am and his mommie is alex who is a close friend of mommie's from camp. we had a blast together and looked at eachother but didn't really talk. that was awkward. we formed a new bond because we both went under the water for the first time in our life! it was a weird but thrilling experience. we both coughed when we came up from going under but overall, it was a positive experience!

I've hung out with nathan (mary pat and grant's son), saidan (liza and suvadim's daughter), noah (stacy and dj's son), rick (mommie's friend from high school), and ryan (mommie's friend from high school)! I also saw dina and lisa (mommie's friends from elementary school) - I went to dina's house for dinner (yummy!)

I went to see great grandpa poppy harold! i love when he holds me and talks to me. I also got to see cousin Elissa and her BF Greg!

We went to grandpa's office and met elinor and christina, the girls who work there- they had so many pictures of me on their walls! I'm like a celebrity!

In conclusion (yes, I said 'in conclusion') it's just been so much fun being here but mommie is conflicted. I know mommie needs and wants to get back to camp but also wants me to stay healthy because I am #1 in her life (dad is #1.01). So, we don't know what is going to happen! Ahhhhhhhh! Are we going back to camp? Staying in CT? Going to Rochester?! I want some continuity here people.....does anyone have a magic 8 ball I can borrow?!

I turned 5 months, More Camp, 4th of July, Grandparents and More!

I don't even know where to begin. Basically, the short of it, is that a lot goes on here at camp. Every day feels like a week. And each week feels like a week. I have met soooooo many new people. Counselors, campers, visitors. Wow. There are just too many people for me to remember.

I have two nannies, Becca and Angie. They treat me like gold. We play games together, we coo to each other, we read, and they kiss me. I want to kiss them back because they are both so pretty, I just don't know how to do that yet. They take me to music classes, walk me around camp, and are constantly doing fun and special things with me. It is amazing.

All of the campers look at me like I am an alien. They always say "he's so cute," but then they just stare and laugh. I scream back at them sometimes to try to scare them away but it doesn't work so well. Next summer I will teach them a lesson about who not to mess with...

Grandma and Grandpa Black and Grandpa Mark and Grandma Karen came to visit last weekend and so did Uncle Evan, Aunt Stevie (Evan's Sister), and Aunt Shauna (Evan's GF). I am so lucky that my grandparents love me soooo much that they want to see me all the way up here in Maine! Thank you so much for coming! I love youuuuuuu! It was great to see Evan and Shauna again and it was nice to finally meet Aunt Stevie! We took a tour of camp together. Shauna had never seen camp but Evan worked here and Stevie was a camper here and worked here too, so we showed Shauna the ropes together. Good times. I think Shauna and Stevie fell in love with me. That's all I'm saying......Shauna, don't leave Evan for me, I'm still too young...

Aunt Lauren came to visit this weekend too! She came up for the 4th of July weekend! She used to be a counselor here so she was psyched to be back! Now that she lives in Buffalo, I hope to see more of her this upcoming year! Yay! Speaking of the 4th of July, mom bought me this really festive red, white, and blue onesie that I got to wear all day. Although it was independence day, I didn't feel independent at all, as every time I needed anything I could never do it for myself and I always cried for help.

Anywhooo, things are good here. I can see why mom and dad love it up here. The breastmilk flows like water from a hose, there are trees, wild animals, kids, a lake, good people, and good times. I cannot wait until I can get up off of my back (literally) and take advantage of what this place has to offer. Summer 2010 can't come fast enough...

Until next time......keep it real...doods.
