Music to my Feet

Check. It. Out. This is soundSpace at the Museum of Life + Science. I bust a move, and then different sounds fill the room. I think this is my mom and dad's favorite place at the museum because they like watching me dance and run around and around and around making music. By the time I get home, I'm pooped and ready for bed. Hey, wait a minute...

When I Grow Up

My mom and dad like to talk about what they think I'll be when I grow up. I've got some moves, so they think I could be an athlete of sorts. I've also tricked them into thinking that I'm also pretty smart, so it wouldn't surprise them if I become an engineer or a computer programmer. Well, I really haven't decided yet, but when I grow up, I'll be happy if I can wear boots like my dad's.

1st Annual Family Beach Vacation

My mom has been waiting forev-er to take a trip to the beach. And this year, her dreams came true! I totally understand why she insisted on going this summer. The ocean is wonderful!

Here we all are on the beach. The weather was perfect.

My dad took me in the water. The waves can get rough! It was cool, though.

I actually preferred the sand. The beach is like the world's biggest sandbox. And you know I like sandboxes. Here is my mom trying to get me to go back into the water. And here I am not going back into the water.

Got my bucket handy! Nice, squishy wet sand!

My dad helped me build a sandcastle. By the way, did you know that the sand is just as salty as the sea water?

Can't wait for next year. The end.

Pants on the Ground

Too busy to notice. Or to care.

The Happiest Place on Earth

Can you believe that the happiest place on earth has cockroaches? HUGE ones! My mom and dad took me to the most awesome place ev-er: The Museum of Life and Science. This place has so much stuff to do and look at and play with. It was so much fun, that my mom and dad got us a family membership. That means we can visit anytime we want! Yay!!

OK, so they have a bunch of roaches and tons of other creepy bugs. But they also have this sandbox. Moving all that sand around is a lot of work!

Here I am in the weather section of the museum. I'm standing in the middle of a tornado! How appropriate.

There's even a farm with all kinds of animals like rabbits, a cow, sheep, a turkey, and a goat.

This pot-bellied pig has the same name as my middle name! How appropriate.

One of my favorite spots is the butterfly conservatory. There are tons and tons of different butterflies hanging out here.

Here I am with my dad butterfly-hunting. The museum also has lemurs and bears and outer space and dinosaurs and turtles and snakes and a train and all kinds of stuff! You'll most likely see tons more pictures of this place.

School Daze

Monday was my very first day of nursery school. I'm a big boy now, so I get to spend a few days a week hanging out with new friends, playing, and learning new stuff. Here I am washing my hands. This is the first thing we do when I get to school.

Here's my awesome classroom. I and my classmates are called the Purple Dinosaurs. Rawr!

I have my very own bin. See? It has my name on it and everything.

See, Mom? I'm doing fine. No need to worry about me! My new friend might need a hug, but I promise I'll be OK!

Snip, Snip?

So, apparently my mom and dad think that it's time that I get my haircut. Yes, I see how haircuts work. I've been here twice already, and I believe I didn't want a haircut then, and I do NOT want a haircut now!

Oh, you think bribes will work? You think a little lollipop will get me to sit still on one of those very scary chairs? Hilarious.

Thanks for the lollipop, though. Oh, and I have no idea why you guys even think I need a haircut anyway.

Summertime

This summer has been a HOT one! We've been sweating in 90' weather for weeks now! Good thing the pool is nearby.

I especially like running through these water-misting rings. It took me a while to be brave enough to run through them myself, but look at me now!


Brr! That water is cold...

...and refreshing! Let's do it again!
