I Go Two By Two

The day before the big wind storm,
we got to visit Henry's Ark!
When we pulled in the parking lot,
this ostrich came right up to welcome me!


Then I saw these geese and went right up to say hello!
But then Dad told me to back up before those geese tried
to bite my baby nose off!


Further down the road were all these ducks
and Dad told me that they wouldn't bite my baby nose off
and that I could play with them.


So I played in the puddles with them!


And I was a very sweet man to share a carrot with this duck
even though he acted like he didn't want it.


Then Dad saw these goats and
they started making funny faces at each other.


And since the duck didn't want my carrot,
I decided to share it with this goat!


Then I discovered that I was being watched!
This little baby goat followed me all over
trying to get my other carrot!


So Dad finally gave that baby goat a bite of his carrot.


I wanted to share mine with this peacock!


And we even had some left over to give to the sheep!


I was very sad when I realized that I had given all my carrots away
and didn't have any left over for this cute donkey.


I had so much fun and didn't want to leave those animals at all.
But Dad said we could visit that ark again soon!

A Zoo Visit With Granda Joyce

I was still pretty tired from seeing all those other animals
the day before at Henry's ark
so I grabbed my shades and a cup of coffee
while we were waiting for Grandma Joyce.


Just kidding!
It's just apple juice!
Mom forgot my cup so I had to use this coffee cup instead.


One of our first stops is always the bengal tiger!
I wanted to make sure that
Mom and Grandma Joyce and Booboo were looking at him.


He sure is a pretty cat!


I know that pushing my baby sis can get pretty tiring,
so I helped Grandma Joyce with the stroller.


After the zoo,
we headed to her house for some games and lunch!


Booboo and I got to play with tons of stuff!


Thanks for all the games and fun, Grandma Joyce!

My Favorite Jungle Gym

As soon as Dad gets home from work,
I never let him out of my sight.
Sometimes though I'm a very patient fellow
and I let him change clothes before we play DADDY BOOM.


Sometimes to unwind at the end of a long day,
we watch TV together.


Yep, you just don't get any more comfortable than this.


After we both relax for a little while,
I usually have Booboo distract Dad so I can
position him just right to be my jungle gym.
I climb in and out and over and under him!
He makes the best jungle gym ever!

I Get to See the Animals

All week long I've been telling mom and dad
that I wanted MORE ANIMALS.
So we got to go to zoo today!
I take my animal watching very seriously.


I was very happy to get to see Scotty the elephant!
He's one of my favorites and I've been talking about him a lot lately.

I've also been talking a lot about tigers, too.
But did you know that this one
turned his back on me just like Critter does?


I sure did enjoy all the animals, but Booboo fell asleep.
She'll have to wait until she gets big like me to really appreciate the zoo!
YAY for the ANIMALS!

Hangin' With Booboo

I love getting in the pack-n-play with Booboo!
I'm always telling Mom to come join us!


We always have so much fun...


Even though sometimes Booboo hogs the spotlight...


AND even though she can be so loud I have to plug my ears...


I sure do love hangin' out with my baby sis!

We Get Ready for Dad's Birthday

Yesterday, I wanted to make Dad
a birthday card for his birthday today!
I grabbed my crayons and
asked Mom to help get me started.


She got me a piece of paper and
I told her what I wanted on the card.
It says, "Happy birthday to the best dad in the world!"
And then I put my own decorative touches on it.


In addition to the card,
I also wanted to make Dad an original finger painting
for him to frame and put up in his office!


But then Booboo wanted to make one too
and she started marking on MY artwork.
I told her that the white paper was MINE
and the pink one was hers.


Since Booboo marked on my masterpiece
and I wanted Dad to have one from just me,
Mom got me another paper.


But then Booboo had to put her touches on that one too!!


I told Mom that Booboo was helping me too much
and would she please just let me do ONE painting by myself.
So she let Booboo play in her activity center.
Booboo wasn't very happy about that.


Finally, I was able to complete a masterpiece all by myself!


Uh, Mom...
That painting was fun,
but it's all over my fingers and toes!!!


What a very fun time!
I got to make cards for Dad AND get bubbles!

I'm very excited that Dad's birthday is today!
Happy Birthday, Dad!
There's lots more in store for you!

I Support Higher Education

Since school started again,
I decided I would help Dad prepare.
I figured that since he was going to be a
Master in Counting that we could help each other
since I am trying to learn to count too!


First, I made sure that Dad had some crayons to take notes...


Then I had an idea....


I decided that I would go with him and take my own notes.


Yep, Dad's backpack is just the right size for me and my crayons!
I think I could even fit some paper in here too!



Okay, Dad!
I'm ready for some higher learning!
