First I want to say Happy Birthday to my Grandma Paulette it is her birthday today and tomorrow is my Dad's birthday. So happy birthday to both of them.
Today I will start talking about my favorite ship. First did you know that the Captain of the Titanic, E. J. Smith was also the Captain of the Olympic when it crashed in to HMS Hawke. The Olympic did not sink but I think Captain Smith had a problem running in to things. Violet Jessup was a stewardess in first class when the Olympic had it's accident. She was then transferred to the Titanic. When the Titanic was sinking the officers were having problems getting the 3rd class people in to the lifeboats because they didn't speak the same language. One of the officers asked Violet to get in to the boat to show the other women what to do. She did that and was handed a baby by one of the woman when she got in. Violets lifeboat was the last to be rescued by the Carpathia. After the Titanic sank she was transferred to the Britannic and I told you what happened to her on that boat. If I were her I would not get on a boat.
My Grandpa reminded me that I forgot to tell people that I ride my bike with out training wheels now. I never wanted to try and one day I just did it with out practice. I was born to ride. My Mom thinks it is funny when I say that. She said she is going to buy me a shirt with that on it.
Today in school we learned about pediatrician they are doctors that help kids and babies. I go to one but not that often because I don't usually get sick.

Thanks and More
Thank you to all my friends and family and new friends that made comments on my blog. I really liked hearing my Mom read them.
Before I talk about the Britannic I would like to talk about my day in school. Maddie's Dad came to school to talk to us about "Stranger Danger". He is a policeman and a fireman. He gave Maddie badges in bags to put in our cubbies. He told us if someone we don't know comes up to us and says "I have a dog in my car that is sick and needs to go to the vet will you help" they are bad and we should run away and get another adult. He said if I saw a friend and his Mom I should ask his Mom to help. He told us about what he wears and the different vehicles that policeman and police girls use. They use cars, bikes, motorcycles, helicopters, rollerblades and horses.
About the Britannic: The Britannic was a sister ship to the Titanic and the Olympic. It was built to be like the Titanic but in 1915 she was made in to a hospital ship for the war. When she was on her way to a hospital she was hit with an explosion. They are not sure if it was a torpedo or a mine. She was hit in the same space the Titanic was, but she sank really fast, in 55 minutes. Only 30 people on the Britannic died. They did not drown the were in a life boat, but because it sunk so fast the life boats were sucked in to the propellers. Everyone was all chopped up. That is pretty gross, their brains and everything were chopped up.
What I thought was also interesting was that Violet Jessup made it through the Titanic sinking and she was on the Britannic too. She jumped overboard but was knocked out when a lifeboat hit her head. Someone pulled her up and saved her. She was also on the Olympic when it was in a collision with another ship.
Thank you Uncle Brian for the web site on the Andrea Doria. I will look that boat up when I go to the library this weekend.
Thanks to everyone else for your comments and please let me know if you think there might be something out there that I would like to read, watch or look up.

My First Entry
Hi I am Cole and I live close to Chicago. I am 6 years old and I am in Kindergarten. I should be in first grade but I have a late birthday so I couldn't go when I turned 5.
My friend Alex told me that I should start my own blog because I write to her all the time. So my Mom and Dad are letting me start one.
http://www.alexandrabillings.com This is my friend Alex. She is actually my Mom's friend but I have seen her in some musicals and on TV. She is really good! She was on the "Doctor Show" this year (ER). I can't watch it because it is bloody, but my Mom let me watch Alex when they showed her. She put a bunch of stuff about Titanic on her website for me. I really like the Titanic and I will try to talk about that and other things that I like.
I am really in a Titanic mood lately and I go the library once a week so I can get new books. I can't read them all but my Mom reads them to me and I can figure most things out from the pictures.
Some other things that I like are Theodore the Tugboat, Airplanes, Jets for the Air Force Trains, any kind of boats, Army Tanks and Boats for the Navy especially aircraft carriers with Jets on them. I also like Submarines.
I was in my first musical this weekend at church we did "100% Chance of Rain". We just sang a few songs and then there was a game fair after the musical. My Mom bought me tickets to play games. I scored a goal in the game basketball and got a whistle my Mom is going to take the whistle away from me if I don't stop blowing it in the middle of the night. Now I can't find it I keep losing it in my room. I also played golf at the fair and I did the moon jumper. I was also able to buy a lollipop and popcorn and I won prizes in a few games.
Well that is it for me for tonight. Tomorrow I will tell you all about the Britannic and how and why they think it sank.
Please let me know what you think about my post.
