What Is That Insanely Bright Yellow Thing in the Sky?!?!

It's been a cold and wet couple weeks here in the Northeast. It really saps a kid's spirit and makes it very hard to spend much time at the playground without head-to-toe raingear. Finally, yesterday, the sun came out, and I was ready for it!

 I can't remember the last time I had to wear shades. Notice I'm still wearing my rain boots. JUST IN CASE.

P.S. - It started raining again today. So I guess I can put those shades right back away.

Hey, What Are You Guys Up To?

The other day Momma took me to the park with all the trees and flowers. I saw this lady talking to a group of kids so I decided to sneak in and see what they were up to...

Still No Mosquitos!

I know it's only a matter of time -- probably a matter of days! -- until those horrible little flying monsters arrive and we basically can't use the yard without coating ourselves in gross chemicals, so I'm making the most of the yard while I can. I try to get out there every chance I get, whether it's to play catch, bounce on the trampoline, or be super duper helpful by watering the flowers!

I Have So Many Questions!

Actually, I only have one question, with many variations. That question is WHY? Daddy, why is that man whistling? Momma, why is Daddy going to the bedroom? Daddy, why is that puppy barking? Momma, why is that hot dog hot? Why isn't it time for Little Einsteins? Why is this ice so slippery? Why doesn't Mickey Mouse live in Brooklyn? Why is that lady wearing a hat? Why does Leo have to go home? Why can't I bring my shoes into the bath? Why? Why! WHY!

I thought you grown-ups had all the answers.

I was sorely mistaken.

Some of My Favorite Things

Summer's finally here, and it's hot, but that's Ok, because it means more play time outside, more ice cream, and more sprinklers. Also more mosquitos, which isn't so good.

Did I mention more ice cream?

The flowers are really pretty right now. This isn't our yard, but our yard looks great!

I guess you can bowl in any season, but I did it for the first time in summer, so there's that too.

Check Up Time

Today was my 3rd annual doctor's visit to see if I was growing like I should. The answer to that is yes! I'm not only tall and hefty (90th percentile for both height and weight) but I also got 90th percentile for cute and 95th for cool. I think it was the dope wraparound shades, brah. Sadly I do have to go to an ear, nose and throat guy to see if my adenoids need to be removed because I snore badly and get colds a lot. But who needs adenoids! If getting them out stops my constant sniffles, it will make both me and mama a lot happier.

Thanks, Auntie Mary!

I forgot to say that I had one special, long-distance visitor for my birthday last week (or whenever it was): Auntie Mary! She flew all the way from California to see me, and I guess maybe Momma too. Here are some of the pictures she took, mostly of me!

 This one is artistic.

 Here's a preview of Halloween, 2013.

 Here's me, in disguise.

And in the shed at the big house. Someday, we might turn this into a little guest room thing. For now, it's just full of rusty old nails!
