A crab wonton a day keeps the doctor away

Or at least that is what my fortune cookie told me last night at dinner. Mommy and daddy took me out for Chinese food and it was super yummy. I got to eat teriyaki noodles with chicken. Mommy even let me eat my chicken with something called chopsticks. I am not sure if I used them correctly, but it sure was fun to stab my chicken with the sticks. And when I was done stabbing the chicken I stuck the chopsticks in each end of my straw. I thought that was really funny. On our drive home from dinner I surprised mommy and daddy by asking them “what is the big idea?” when they slowed down to look at a house down the street. Boy did they think that was funny. They are so easily amused.

Here are some pictures from my birthday party at pre-school. My teachers Ms Vicky and Ms. Toni are the best.

You win some...you lose some!

Hi everybody. Well, I've got to admit that today didn't start so well. I was up a little early (6:00am) and thought I would be a nice guy and allow mommy and daddy some extra sleep. Only problem was that I had pooped. Now for most of you going poop is no big ordeal. But you've got to remember I'm still in diapers and trapped in a crib. What was I to do? Quite the conundrum. My options were to either wake mommy and daddy up OR sit in a dirty diaper. But Alas!-I found the perfect solution-I would change my own diaper. Everything started just fine. But once I had my diaper off I quickly realized that I had not thought the whole process through. Specifically, I was lacking a clean diaper. After a few minutes of contemplating my situation I was forced to admit defeat and make a most solemn plea for help. I reluctantly cried out “mommy and daddy I tried to clean it up.” Which to my amazement prompted a most immediate response. It took less than 5 seconds (yes, I can count to five now) for them to hurry into my room. They were not especially happy with my attempted diaper change, and plopped me right into the tub. This means I will probably have to take two baths today. But even though things started ruff, by 8:30 I was at pre-school and all was right in the world. I really love pre-school. When mommy or daddy drop me off I literally push them out the door and say “by mommy/daddy”. Well that is all for now. I hope you all are having a great day.

My Birthday Party!

On Saturday I had my first official birthday party with kids! It was sooooooo much fun! I had 8 friends who came and brought their mommies and daddies. My party was at Baker Park (one of my favorites), and I got pizza, cake, watermelon and lots of presents. Can't beat that with a stick (or a piece of wood). I also enjoyed playing some basketball with my daddy at the end of the party.

I also received many gifts from my Grama and Grampa Muck. I absolutely LOVE my new books and my soccer ball. I'm still not sure why daddy would rather have me kick the ball than throw it, I'll figure out why someday.

After about an hour or two of walking up to the snake and very cautiously touching it with one finger, I determined that the snake would probably not bite me. I'm pretty comfortable wearing him around my neck now. But I still get scared once in a while.

My Birthday Celebration

Well, for once, mommy is "blogging" for me. I think she's got it figured out, but we'll see....

On Friday I turned 2! My birthday celebration began on Friday morning when I walked out to find a huge elephant in my living room that I could ride on. I think mommy and daddy were a lot more excited about it than I was. In fact, I initially said "don't like it", when I first saw it. Perhaps that was a bit harsh; in fact, now I enjoy rocking on it while watching TV. I've named my new elephant Giangi, or maybe John G, I'm not sure how to spell that yet.

Later that evening, I was able to open all of my gifts from my family. One of the first ones I opened from Grammy and Grampa Treps was a snake. Daddy kinda ruined that one for me by pretending to get bit in the neck by it. See above photo. You'd be scared too, right?
