Little Miss Muffet

Oh, he makes me laugh.

Photo shoot at the beach

While Mommy was at the spa, LT had a photo shoot with Daddy.

Running!

Where do we go?

I'm a Whale Watcher

And a sea lion watcher, and a sea otter watcher and ...






We went to Monterey for President's Day weekend. On our whale watching cruise we saw a pod of about 4-5 gray whales. Yippee! The captain said that kids under 6 have to wear life jackets, or if they were LT's age, mom could hold it. He was surprised that LT let me put in on - he said kids that age usually refuse. LT didn't mind and even used the jacket wings to take a nap on the way out and then again on the way back in.

Sudoku Craze

The Sudoku craze has made it's way down to the toddler set.

Here's what I found when I picked up my sudoku tonight:


PS - yes, I'm still working through last years calendar. BLT Sr. & I picked up this years for $1 each this weekend.

Edited to add: He filled in some more squares this morning while saying yi, er, san, si, ... (one, two, three, four in Chinese). Guess he knows what those squiggles are supposed to be! So funny!

Be Mine Valentine

Here's my little Valentine. He's such a holiday lover. He helped me wrap Daddy's Valentine present and then when we brought it down he looked over to the living room and said, "Oh no, no Christmas tree, Christmas is over." He mentions Christmas is over at least 2 times a day. He absolutely loved Valentine's Day and "wrote" out his Diego valentine cards for all his friends at daycare. He wrote the to/from and also decorated the envelopes. The favorite valentine he got was the one decorated by another girl with My Little Pony and lip print stickers all on a pink background. You can just see the corner of its envelope in this picture. He inventoried the valetines at least five or six times tonight. What a cutie!

Not enough toys?

Or is it too much imagination?

Safety first!

Look Ma! No pushbar! LT has graduated to an independant tricyclist. He may need a helmet upgrade before long as his head seems to be growing quite rapidly.

We've been sick now for a while. I only went to work for about 8 hours last week. It was amazing - I actually got sick first and then gave it to LT! Then he stayed home sick as well Wed-Thurs-Fri. This week we are well enough to go to work & daycare, but not nearly 100%.

LT's daycare moved to a new house which is sooo close to ours. It's on the same street now and just across one light. Great! It's a home daycare and they split into two homes so they can have more kids. Most of the kids went with LT to the new house. He still has his main teacher and his sister. He's definitely getting better at Chinese. Mommy has been practicing to with the Pimsleur language cds. LT cracks up when "Mommy speak Chinese."
