Slacking off

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! 🙂

Touch a Truck

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.

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…

I don’t mind. I get lots of time to play with him and still be the center of attention.

Grandma Fun

Grandma Susie came over to play again on Sunday. It gave Mommy and Daddy a break to run a few errands without two kids in tow. I liked the time with my baby brother, Emmerson, out of the house.

I really do love him a LOT. At night I insist that we exchange hugs and pats on the head. Mommy just taught me about “nose kisses” or “eskimo kisses”. They are really fun. I even share them with my Gymboree teachers! 🙂 Emmerson is a bit too tiny to nose kiss back, but Mommy said.. someday soon!
