Last week I had a few very rough days. My molars have been all puffy and bloody. I was at Gymboree Art Class and just BIT into Mommy’s arm. I left a HUGE black and blue mark. Sorry Mommy! I felt realy bad about it and Mommy said she understood because my teeth are making me really grumpy.

We left Gymboree shortly after the “bite” and went to Dunedin Rec Center. Ethan and his mommy met us there. We were having a blast playing and then I unleashed the terror. I bit Ethan! I got a major time-out times two or three! I don’t know what made me bite… my teeth make me do crazy things. I am SOOOO SORRY Ethan! Sorry I went back for more after the first bite. ugh!

Well, my biting has now stopped and I am a lot happier. The last two days I have listened well and slept even better. My teeth are looking a lot better and I have stopped asking for “tooth medicine”. Mommy has opted to let me have my binki when I get edgy. She can tell pretty quick when it is getting close. Thanks Mommy!

Ethan and I hung out again last night and we did fairly well with each other. No blood (other than some really random cut knuckles that no one could explain). I am going to miss my buddy Ethan when he moves. But we will always be buds!

Here are a few pictures Miss Jamie took at the playground of me!

Tuesday night we all went to Chick-fil-A for Family Fun Night. You get a free kids meal with each adult meal. After you eat you can play in the fun house thing and then they have a special event.

This week it was the Oldsmar Fire Department. I really like to check out fire trucks. They brought a HUGE ladder truck out. I was the first kid to go over to the firemen. I immediately introduced Emmerson “This is my baby brother, Emmerson”. Then proceeded with my normal explanation of who he is… “He came from Mommy’s tummy.” Then added a new line (lift Mommy’s shirt) “From her TUMMY!”

Mommy whipped her shirt back down and turned bright red, it was kinda cool! 🙂

Mommy is having a rough time helping me blog lately. Mainly because there isn’t much downtime. Probably won’t be much downtime until Emmerson and I are on similar schedules. Mommy said when I sleep, Emmerson is awake and vice-versa!

Point is this… this is going to be a very random catch-up blog post and then Mommy will try to post more regularly for me.

This was from before Valentine’s Day. The promised picture of me rolling in the grass. Sorry it is blurry… I was rolling pretty fast.

Also… the hop-scotch board on the floor at the park.

Mommy, Emmerson and I went to the playground. I was having a BLAST! I was being very silly and got caught in the chains.

I was going down the slide head first and suddenly a bug landed on the slide. My feet shot out and stopped me in mid-slide. I called for Mommy and all she did was giggle and snap pictures… Then she got rid of the HUGE bug (it as a flying ant…)

I have enjoyed some cartoons (Max & Ruby) and “Captain Crunch” cereal. See my cool robot Mommy and I made a few weeks ago!!

Mommy, Emmerson and I spent THREE hours at the car dealership getting the car worked on. I watched “Tom & Jerry”.

All those mind rotting cartoons are balanced out by HEAPING piles of broccoli.

Here is a family shot with Grandpa John. He was really neat to have around. I can’t wait until this summer when he moved back to Florida. Then I can see him more often! 🙂

Emmerson is still pretty neat. I like to hold him.

Mommy gave me Nutella with my broccoli one night.

It made my head spin! I LOVED IT!

Mommy worked on SAD faces with me…

And HAPPY ones…

I got to go to EPCOT. They had this neat bug tunnel. I made Grandma Jo and Grandpa Howie crawl through it with me. I even knocked Grandpa Howie over in the tunnel.

During the trip I tried to feed Emmerson a lollipop when no one was looking. Mommy caught me as it was inserted into Emmerson’s mouth. hehe! 🙂 I skipped my nap because I had so much fun, but I crashed in the car on the way home. Sunday we went to the “farm” and I skipped my nap again. Until 5pm when we were three blocks from home and I fell asleep in the car. Mommy carried me in and I took a 30 minute nap on the sofa.

Don’t think I will skip that many naps.

That is it for now. Will post more soon!

Mommy has ben majorly slacking this last week on helping me to blog. We have stayed very busy with play-groups and outings. Mommy certainly has quickly developed a knack for juggling two boys and a busy lifestyle.

Last week we went to a new play place, the playground and also to Dunedin Recreation Center for a Valentine’s Family fun night. At the fun night I spent most of my time rolling in the grass and trying to play hopscotch! I also made an airplane out of 2 mints, 1 roll of Smarties, 1 stick of gum and a rubber band…. then I ATE IT!

I just really enjoyed the time with Mommy & Daddy. Oh yeah, we even had a picnic on the grass.

This week we have gone to the park, playground and mall.

I have taking my “friend” obsession to a new level. As most of you know I attach to a picture in a book, a toy or a stuffed animal and drag it around EVERYWHERE until I get bored with it. This week I have chosen a “Scooby Doo Shrinky-dink” (that I REFUSE to let Mommy shrink in the oven) and three color photocopies of a hippo from my Richard Scarry word book (page 27, and don’t you forget it!!). God forbid I misplace them, or they rip… the world around me as I know it collapses!

Night before last I had a pee-pee accident in my bed around 4am. Mommy tried to get me back to sleep, but I wanted NO part of that. I was awake and it was PLAYTIME!!!! Ugh! Mommy was a walking zombie that day. Today I spelt in a bit better and Mommy seems to get less grumpy!

Yesterday we hung out at the car dealership for 3 hours and Mommy said I behaved SUPER! Mommy didn’t pull any hair out… even when I poked he in the eye with a crayon. Sorry Mommy

Well, I think that is it. I am sure I missed a lot but time is just zipping by!

I asked Mommy & Daddy to post pictures here later! 🙂

This morning we loaded up the mini-van, grabbed some breakfast and headed to Safety Harbor Park. I got to play on the playground for about 40 minutes and then we walked over to the “Touch-A-Truck” activity. It was REALLY cool. I got to sit in tractors, dump trucks, and many other neat vehicles. There were NO limits on pressing buttons and pulling knobs. I was in my GLORY! I even shared well with others and continued on when asked to do so.

Running the “digger” in the sand…

I found an older boy and tried to show him how to use it…

Searching for a “hippo”…

Climbing to the top of the rock-wall looking for the “hippo”…

Free-range Breighton… The hippo hunt is on…

Telling Mommy I am afraid of the trucks… (also telling Mommy her new name is “mommy hippo” and “daddy hippo” was taking pictures!)

I think I am now ready to go visit the TRUCKS!

BIG Dump Truck, with lots of levers!

John Deere Tractor…

I don’t feel this little?!

I can do it, but please help me!

Is my turn over? Okay…

Maybe I shouldn’t have pulled THAT knob!

Back-loader!

A bit nervous about the steps… but i did it!

Now, How will I get down… ahhh who cares! I am having FUN!

Toddler JOY!

Who needs college? This looks WAY more fun!

Can I please have the keys?

Mommy pointing out MORE trucks…

This is one big seat to fill.. but it has levers… so it is REALLY cool!

I am OFF! Hurry up Mommy!

The man was explaining what this truck was… DUMP TRUCK!

I tried to drive off in this one too!

Two levers… I can do THAT! This looks easy!

I even got a neat dolphin painted on my arm. More aptly… a dolphin and a sunset with birds and water (without pausing or breathing!).

This was SUCH an awesome morning. I really enjoyed the morning out. Emmerson was strapped to Daddy in the Bjorn.

Well, off to nap…
