Yogi words

I'm always impressed with Yogi's use of language. Lately he's been incorporating made-up words. Two that I like especially:

"Oh, mayonnaise!" for dismay.
"Darnicles!" for disappointment.

Today is his first day in Mountain Yard. He is more excited than scared now. At the end of last year he was concerned about kids hitting in mountain yard. But he seems to have resolved that.

His birthday party last Saturday was lots of fun! A dolphin jumper, the big blow up pool and make-your-own treasure boxes kept everybody entertained. We had water melon and ice cream cake from Ben & Jerry's (Yogi selected Half Baked and Banana Splits ice creams, which made for a very complex combo!) Present were Yogi's best friends Trip and Alienor, Keller, Jordan, Oliver, Annika, Julien (all from Play mountain Place,) Brennen and his little sister Gwen (neighbors.)

I can't believe he's six. He's so amazing, funny, smart, compassionate, thoughtful...and so much more. Since the day he was born, I've felt privileged to know him.
