I did two big boy things this week. For starters I went "cold turkey" and quit using my pacifier! I'm proud to report that I'm on day six of being completely pacifier free. (Now I just have to figure out how to get off the patch.)
The second big boy thing I did was get my first pair of shoes with laces! Mom took me shopping Tuesday and I wore them to school Wednesday. They are really comfy and stay on my feet all day long.
Wednesday after school I got to show them off at Grant's house! Mom, Dad and I took some food down and hung out with the babies (here I am with Nolan) ... 
... then Grant and I ran and ran and ran around the house.
This weekend was special because I got to see lots of people. Grandma and Grandpa Houston came up! (It turned out to be a good thing that we didn't go to friend Chelsea's wedding after all.)We played for awhile ...
... then I had Grandpa show me the new tractor books he brought!
Then another visitor arrived ... Carol Alton! (She's an awesome lady and I really enjoy spending time with her.) After we had lunch, she, Grandma and Mom went to HomeShowExpo 2010 while Grandpa, Dad and I hung out at home. 
While the ladies were gone, Grandpa and I played tractors in the basement and had a lot of fun!
We also watched my Baby Einstein video about farming and tractors first thing this morning ...
... before I had Grandma Kathy read a tractor book.
After all of the discussions about tractors we decided to go to the park for awhile. Grandma and Grandpa helped me on the slide ...
... then Mom worked on her artistic photography. 
Finally, before heading home I gave Grandpa a tour of the school grounds. Perkins Elementary is where I may go in a few years!
We got home and Grandma Maggy stopped by with her friend Linda. They were going to Chariton today.
I took a bit of a snooze then Mom had a great idea ... the wading pool!
I really enjoyed it. Thanks, Mom!The day ended perfectly with ice cream from Snookies.
In the words of the great philosopher Porky Pig ... "That's all folks!"
Much love ...
Pierce
