Lunch with Daddy

Lately I have become obsessed about where Daddy goes all day. What is this work they speak of? So after our adventure to the Museum, Mommy and I did a detour to visit Daddy. We had lunch at Ashburton Place. I was in my element. I got to visit the State House (and even snuck under some velvet ropes to see a statue closer up). I met some of Dad's cronies and then promptly took a rock-star nap for the drive home.

BOSTONNNNE!

When we woke up this morning and saw rain, Mommy went into action! We decided the Children's Museum in Boston was the place to go. We had some fun in Peep and the Big Wide World exhibit where I got to play in water. Imagine my delight when I saw that Curious George had his own exhibit. I had a wonderful time. I got to nearly every room. I played on the "Farm" in Curious George Land and honed my scissor skills cutting streamers. I loved the Boston exhibit which taught me about different cultures. I was especially into the Steel Drum. I got to climb into a real Bobcat bulldozer too! It was such a good time, and I might even be a little worn out.

Keepin' it Cool!

My Dziadziu (grandfather) was nice enough to build me a kitchen. He is a master woodworker! I decided I needed a matching fridge (though a sneaking suspicion on my and Dziadziu's part tells us Mommy wanted a fridge too). He made me this wonderful fridge and brought it over yesterday. After first I was unsure, then I realized I could fill it with all of my "food". I stocked it full of all of the playfood we had (included a wooden breakfast set that I deemed Frozen food and popped into the freezer!). Big shout out to the best woodworking grandfather in the world! I love you Dziadziu, and despite my angry words during a tantrum yesterday, we can be Best Friends again.

Bunny Hop!

Easter turned out to be one of my favorite holidays! I got to hunt for eggs at a cousin's house on Saturday. That is when I officially decided this whole Easter thing was a marvelous idea. I colored eggs too! On Sunday I got to do another egg hunt, but more importantly I got to spend all day outside! I met my Uncles friend Ali, who is not my "BFF" and I ran my Uncle's dog Koda ragged. I love that playful puppy! He really was my buddy and by my side the whole day. He faded a little faster than me though. I have boundless energy.

Let's All Go For a Walk Outside Now...

It has been raining non-stop here for a few days and Mommy and I had had enough. Because of various appointments we were caught indoors on the first day the rain stopped, but today we were outside all day. We headed off to...you guessed it...the beach! I have been begging to go back and feed the Seagulls. We had a little picnic, then I ran barefoot down the beach until I actually came to Mommy and asked to go. Yes Folks, I actually tired myself out...kind of. Mommy took me to the playground there and I gave her some little heart attacks as I climbed and went down the biggest to the smallest slides. I had a fantastic time on the swings too! When we left Mommy suggested ice cream, which I know was foul play - she did not want me falling asleep. I was not going to complain though. We had some delicious ice cream that I spilled all over my pants. I cannot stop yawning now, but it was well worth it.

Stellarina Ballerina

I am obsessed with dancing and anything ballerina related. I make my mom read me Angelina Ballerina a lot. I was pretty excited for my ballet class on Thursday, until we got there and it was not what I (or Mommy) expected. It was a gym teacher running around, and the girls were wearing Princess costumes. Huh? Where are the tutus? the leotards? the tights? I could also hear the two loud gymnastics classes taking place outside of the door, and it was so not cool!

Mommy saved the day and signed me up at a ballet school that had one opening for me to do a Mommy and Me ballet class. We went today and we had a ball. I danced the entire time (unlike yesterday) and even did my own intepretive scarf dance with some of my new buddies. The class was welcoming, and the teacher was so great! What a feeling! I am already planning on showing daddy my new moves.

Beach Party...In 40 degree weather!

My mother gets ideas into her head, but sometimes crazy as they sound, they are still fun. On Tuesday we were bored so we went for a jaunt to the beach. Mommy loves the beach and so do I (see other posts). She packed a picnic of my favorite food and off we went. It was windy, but I was a trooper. I looked for shells, or rather pointed and had my "helper" (mommy) get them. I also decided to share my blueberries and raspberries with the seagulls (but not my kiwi, never my kiwi). I am a little dismayed that the birds would not eat from my hands, but I think Mommy was secretly thankful (she dislikes most birds). I was one step away from joining those birds for a little swim, but alas the old lady caught me.
