Trent's New Room

He calls this "His Grandma Pose"

Howling (Howelling?) at the Moon

Does this make him a "Chick Magnet"?

Dragons MVP

In April, Trent was chosen as MVP of his class. He received four lawn tickets to a Dragons game (which turned into four tickets to two games due to a storm moving in during the first game)and the opportunity to go to MVP day at Fifth Third Field. MVP day was today, and Trent really enjoyed himself.



He liked...

Meeting the mascots and the players:

Running the bases:

Playing the games:

And getting autographs signed.

Especially by one special batting coach-Ken Griffey Sr.

We are very proud of this MVP!

We should have named him Picasso

Trent is ALWAYS creating. When most kids draw on the sidewalk with chalk, it is a rainbow, hopscotch area or something relatively simple. But, not Trent. He spent hours today drawing Greg from "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" (his current favorite books and now movie) sitting on the couch watching television. The drawing was so big, I couldn't get a picture of it all. Here is what I did get.

If The Box Was Sound Proof...

I would have brought it home!

And The Winner Is...

Trent's class was having a competition for the best Valentine box. Trent decided to create a box that featured pictures of "his sweethearts" (Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Miranda Cosgrove, etc.). Wanting the votes of the girls in his class, Trent also decided to include pictures of some popular boys (Justin Bieber, the Jonas Brothers, etc.). To top it off, Trent handed out Selena Gomez valentines. (Selena is by far Trent's favorite.) Trent's plan worked! His Valentine box won the competition!

The Simpsons

Remember when Trent spent several years completely obsessed with the Power Rangers? He watched Power Ranger videos, played with Power Ranger toys, and wore his Power Ranger costumes ALL THE TIME. Steve and I never really understood what it was with the Power Rangers that fascinated him so much. Quite frankly, we couldn't wait for the phase to pass. But when it finally did, it made us a little sad because it meant that Trent was growing up.

Since then, we have learned that Trent goes "head over heels" with any new interest that he develops and we have been through several of them (Lilo and Stitch, GooseBumps, WWE, ...). Trent's current favorite thing is "The Simpsons". Over the past several months, we have heard about the Simpsons constantly. Trent asked for Simpsons' items for Christmas. He checks out Simpsons' books from the library. He draws the Simpsons' characters. He even wants a Simpsons' birthday cake. And as much as it drives us crazy, we know that we will miss the Simpsons' phase when it too eventually comes to an end. So, we let Trent enjoy his newest interest and make sure that we take time to enjoy our boy. Trent is an original, and we wouldn't have it any other way!
