Here is a fun recent picture of Jason and his brother Robert.
We all recently had some family photos taken at Wavehill, a public garden and cultural center in the Bronx.
Jason “Boo at the Zoo”
October 16, 2011 By iJason.com
Jason and family went to the Bronx Zoo for the “Boo at the Zoo” Halloween activities. Rather than saying he went to the zoo, Jason will always say he went to “Boo at the Zoo.”
Jason and Robert were both very excited to see the animals and many activities available. They seemed to like the monkey, snakes, turtles, and bears the most. Jason made his own Halloween mask, everyone rode the merry-go-round, and Jason and Robert loved the magic show. They both got lollipops from a Verizon booth.

Jason’s First Rollercoaster
September 19, 2011 By iJason.com
Jason had a great time this weekend at the local church carnival. We went on Saturday and met with some neighbors and Jason tried out many of the rides. We went back on Sunday with some other friends and Jason grew more adventurous, riding the Ferris Wheel and the Rollercoaster!
Here are a few pictures from Sunday.
Back to School
September 6, 2011 By iJason.com
Today, Jason returned to pre-school. He had first gone to school in January and attended for a few months.
This time around Jason was immediately happy and excited. Mom and Dad dropped him off and he started playing with a boy named Matthew. We said goodbye and that was it.
At pick up, Jason told us he rode a bicycle very fast. The teacher read a book about the moon. He also said they had a book like our book Corduroy. He was not sure what he ate for a snack.
Jason will go to school 2.5 hours in the morning, Monday to Friday.
Here is a recent picture of Jason and Jason next to his locker.
Jason in Bulgaria 2011
August 15, 2011 By iJason.com
Jason and family recently traveled to Bulgaria for a fun filled summer vacation. We left on July 23, 2011 and stayed nearly three weeks until August 12, 2011.
This was Jason’s second trip to Bulgaria. His first was in July 2009.
Jason was very happy to be able to see his aunts, uncles, cousins, and great grandmother in Bulgaria. He had a wonderful time in Belitsa, enjoyed playing in the sand or in the pool. He brought back a nice collection of “mighty machines” and soda trucks.
Jason’s Day Out with Thomas
May 29, 2011 By iJason.com
Last weekend Jason and family went to the Day Out with Thomas in Essex, Connecticut. Jason has spent a lot time during the past two years playing with Thomas trains and watching Thomas videos, so the day was very special for him.
The day started with a ride on the Percy shuttle. Jason put on his special Thomas hat and badge.
The shuttle was an open train car. Along the way we saw many old trains on the side of the track.
“Who’s that puffing down the track?”
Seeing “real Thomas” seemed to take to Jason by surprise.
After the train ride, Jason, Robert, and Mia had fun with the play tables.
“I want really useful engines.”
The day ended with Jason taking his friend Mia for a drive.
Jason Turns 3 Years Old
April 3, 2011 By iJason.com
On March 19, 2011, Jason turned 3 years old. We had a birthday party for him and also his brother on the same day. Many friends and family were able to attend and help celebrate.
His birthday cake featured Thomas the Train, which remains his long running favorite. In a few months we are going to the Day Out With Thomas, which we are sure he will enjoy.
At the age of three, Jason is an active and happy boy. He is quick to smile and laugh, likes to pretend and play. He enjoys doing “activities” like water color, drawing, “homework” from pre-school, stickers, and Shrinky Dinks. He also likes puzzles, trains, and cars. Outdoors, he likes his bicycle and the playground at his school. His favorite book is now Corduroy. Lately he likes watching Tom and Jerry.
Jason is a very good big brother to Robert. He shows much concern for his safety, often telling us to pick things up because Robert can eat them and get hurt.
Jason’s First Day of School
January 6, 2011 By iJason.com
On January 3, 2011, Jason started going to Pre-School. He will go to school each day from 8:45 to 11:15, five days a week.
Initially he was a little bit nervous, but after a few days he is already starting to enjoy it. Every day when we pick him up, he tells us a little bit about his day.
Most recently, he told me that he drove a car, ate an orange, and listened to his teacher read a book about a Snowman. Later, I asked him what he learned, and he responded, “Orange!”
Here is a picture of Jason on his first day, and a recent video of him playing with trains. He has learned to say “Cheese” when we are taking his picture.
Jason’s Christmas 2010
January 5, 2011 By iJason.com
Jason enjoyed another Christmas and New Years!
Christmas Eve was spent at home with his Mom, Dad, Robert, Baba, and Dado. Jason built a gingerbread house with his father. It came out very nicely, but was not very structurally sound. We had a fire and a very nice dinner. Jason’s favorite gift (in Mike’s opinion) was a big set of Thomas trains, tracks, and accessories.
The following day, we all traveled to Oxford, CT to visit more family and have lunch at Aunt Janet’s house.
