Having Fun

2012-02-26

I had so much fun this week!

On Monday I was still at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Daddy went home to go to work, and Mommy had an all-day meeting with Auntie Kara for their work. Grandpa Al had Daddy get him a baby gate just like the one we have at home to keep me out of the kitchen, just like at home.

Aww...locked out just like at home.

When Mommy and I came home on Tuesday, Daddy had Mommy's new desk and chair put together. Here's what it looked like once she got it all arranged to her liking.

Taking Mommy's new chair for a spin.

This computer is ugly. What's wrong with it?

On Friday I had a bath - and Mommy decided to add to the collection of pictures of me in my monster towel.

Me in my monster towel again.

On Saturday we went to the Children's Museum and bought me a membership. Now I can go whenever I want, provided I can find a ride.

When we got to the museum, there was a fire, so I worked the water on the truck to help put it out.

Let me adjust the pressure here...

Is that okay up there on the ladder?

You guys okay on the ground now?

See Daddy, that's where the fire was that I helped put out.

I'm not sure I want to crawl through this tunnel today, Dad. Putting out the fire took a lot out of me.

After the fire was out we went upstairs and I found something I was looking for...

A truck!

Can I play with this truck?

This is my truck now.

Daddy watching me drive the truck.

WHEEEEEEEEEE!

When I turn this the race car moves.

I found my truck again!

This is really orange.

What exactly am I sitting on here?

On Daddy's shoulders.

Daddy looks like someone here, I just can't think of who...

Oh yeah... this guy - you know, whatshisname?

Having tea with Daddy.

Level one...

What level is this Daddy? I can't count yet.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road! Follow the Yellow Brick Road!

Daddy I'm getting tired.

GAH! What is that?

Daddy, that boy is climbing the wall. Can I climb up the wall too?

After the children's museum, we went to a buffet restaurant for lunch. I was just like the Very Hungry Caterpillar: I ate a little bit of a lot of things (mashed potatoes, carrots, corn, bread, raisins, squash, beets, green beans, ice cream, and some others I forget). But unlike the Very Hungry Caterpillar, I did not get a tummy ache. I'm also not going to turn into a butterfly. Sorry if I ruined the ending to that book.

Lunch time.

After we returned home, I went with Daddy and Duke for a long walk - the weather was fantastic for February. After I went to bed, Mommy and Daddy watched a couple of movies. I woke up in the middle of the night and Daddy and I watched some Fraggle Rock to get me to go back to sleep - after a diaper change and a bottle and playing with my trucks for a little bit.

We spent Sunday at home. Mommy worked all day and Daddy took care of me. We had soup for lunch, and read a lot of books and listened to music and had so much fun.

And that was the week. Thanks for reading! Take care everyone!
