I've also had a few "dad" days this week because mom's had early morning or out of town meetings. I've really enjoyed going vroom vroom in dad's car on the way to school! I don't get to ride in the Mustang too often - my carseat only fits forward facing, so when we go out as a family, or even if dad takes me out, we usually use mom's car where my seat still fits rear facing. I explained to mom last night that dad's car goes vroom vroom because it has a big engine so it can go fast. She agreed and laughed with me. Mom and I were at a card store the other day and I found a whole display of toy cars - I immediately found the bright red Mustang and told mom that it looked like daddy's car, so of course she bought it for me. I *love* it and couldn't wait to show it to daddy!
I've been doing much better with swim lessons and don't throw a fit anymore. I haven't been as clingy and really like the Humpty Dumpty still - except now I don't rely on mom to catch me - I fall in and go under water and then she brings me up and we swim to the wall. Mom bought me some goggles, but they're still a little big on me. I don't seem to mind the water as long as I close my eyes though.
Mom and dad decided not to do the gym classes with me for now - it's a 20 week commitment and we have enough weekends that we can't make it that it's probably not worth it. So maybe next term - I really enjoyed the class I went to, but it's just not practical.
Mom and I are going to Seattle!!!!!!!! Mom and Kim have been talking forever about seeing each other again and they finally found a time to make it happen. The trip is on random days, but that's what happens when you try to book a cross country flight on miles. We have one connection each way, but I think it will be ok (at least mom is telling herself it will be ok). We're going to take my carseat for the plane and of course lots of activities and snacks. Aunt Laurie had the great suggestion of wrapping some small gifts for me to open along the way, so I think we'll have to try that. We've got time to figure it out, but I am SO excited to see Kim, Mike and Daniel! I seriously talk about it every day - I wake up and tell mom I want to go to Seattle and go on a big plane :)
Can't think of much else new at this point, though I'm sure I'll think of more as soon as I hit Publish Post. So here are some photos to tide you over...
This one's for all of you who don't believe I'm not happy all the time (because I usually am!). I can throw a tantrum with the best of them...
Ms. Jen gave me this sticker for going to the potty at school. I moved it from my shirt to my PJ's and back to my new shirt the next day, ha ha.
I told you the Vitamin E Oil was a vital component of the bedtime routine...here I am trying to put some on mom's forehead (also part of the routine).
Daddy and I doing somersaults:
Kitty and I are friends sometimes. Except when she bites me. Then I cry and mom asks what happened. I tell her kitty bit me. She asks if I was bothering kitty. I say yes. Mom tells me not to bother kitty and she won't bite me...but I still bother kitty and she still sometimes nips at me. No big deal, but the conversation with mom is funny.
I'm LOVING being able to eat dairy again - I had a very blue cupcake at Zachary's birthday party :)
The same day as Zachary's party was Arabelle's party at My Gym! We had SUCH a great time. Here's me and my best bud in the ball pit.
Here's the FOUR year old!
I couldn't care less about anything there other than the trampoline (and possibly the ball pit). I didn't want to get off!
My other best bud Gabriel! We had so much fun jumping together :)
Doesn't my hair look lovely after a day in a pony tail?
Eating sushi with my chopsticks!
The Very Hungry Caterpillar may very well be my favorite book at the moment.
Still love my Cozy Coupe :)
My new shape stacker. I know to put all the squares, circles and octagons together on one peg, but I don't necessarily put them in order of size. I'll get there, though!
Weather's finally nice enough to take my car outside!
A bike helmet is clearly needed to rake the leaves :)
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I'm Mom's Lucky Charm!
Hugs from Sydney!
