Nigel, Mom and Dad have been preparing a garden to grow vegetables. Cyruss and Dad built two large garden boxes (4' x 8'). That was a fun carpentry project, but it was very hot the first day they worked on them.
A big pile of soil was delivered to the side of the house, and then Mom, Dad and Nigel all worked to shovel the soil into a wheelbarrow and pour it into the garden boxes. Nigel liked helping with all of the jobs!
Mom and Nigel were playing at a park. Nigel decided one of the levels of the playground was his room, and invited a girl to come up to his room with him to have "cherry pops". The girl's mom asked Nigel how he makes cherry pops, and Nigel replied, "7 cups of water, 1 cup of milk, peas and carrots, and mashed potatoes."
First known occurrence each for Nigel saying "Fivety-five" and "Six-tee-six".
Nigel likes Jimmy Crack Corn. He was singing along with it in bed tonight.
Today was Nigel's first day at Dancing Moose Montessori School. He is in classroom 2, with Miss Holly and Miss Chelsea. Miss Holly turned on what she calls "rock and roll music" (Alvin and the Chipmunks) at recess, and Nigel loved that. He had never heard the Chipmunks before, and has a real love for songs. His teachers are very impressed with his speaking: both the size of his vocabulary and his pronunciation. Of course, they are among a great many who have noticed this, as it is pretty remarkable.
