Myron has now entered the boat stage of development. He enjoys all aspects of boat life.
Boats at port….
Driving pretend boats…
And it is oh so much fun to watch them go (Myron watching a cruise ship from our hotel in Tampa).
The best parts about a birthday party in Florida…
CAKE….
and more CAKE…
PRESENTS…
ICE CREAM…
and DISNEY! (My conversation with Mary Poppins)
How is it possible that my baby is 4 years old. He is now officially a little boy. I can no longer call him, a baby, a toddler, or a little one. He is (and loves being) a big boy now.
One of the perks of Myron’s birthday is that Mama spent the whole day at school with him. He (and Mama) loved it. We started with some climbing and pretend boat play…
We then went on a little walk past the garden… (above Myron with Miss Ashley)
and then more climbing… we ended his school day with a special ceremony and bee pretend play.
Next came presents… and lots of them… he started with presents in CA… then a party in FL… and then more presents when we returned home. It was more of a birthday week than a birthday.
On this rainy Saturday we decided to take one last trip to the Academy of Sciences (before our membership expires).
A full rainbow followed us on our trip. Beautiful! 
In the rainforest we saw huge butterflies… and one landed on Dada!
Myron’s favorite animals on this trip were the Cuttlefish and the jelly fish with blue polka dots.
Mama liked the Nautilus (pictured below).
After the Academy we typed “best parks in San Fran” into our phone and found the best one was only 200 feet away. There Myron climbed…
and climbed!
He enjoyed a cardboard slide
And then climbed some more…
Mama’s favorite quote from the trip: “Mama, did this wave die millions of years ago?”
(Myron riding the ‘wave’)
We ended our trip with a little Eel climbing and a nap. A good day in San Fran.
When we returned from FL… we had Christmas presents waiting. And I just open 2 more yesterday (thank you Kelly & AL and Ginnie & Tom – funny thing you both got him a flashlight and he loves them!).
Grandpa Schwichtenberg sent these cool Caterpillar trucks! They are rough and tough just like me!
We arrived back home from the holidays with just enough time to put together my (some assembly required) art easel. I love it!
I am an active painter, drawer, cutter, gluer, art maker these days (more photos of my art to come).
Okay so this one is a little out of order… but I didn’t want to forget our great 2011 Thanksgiving surprises.
We arrived at Greg and Linda’s just in time for Grandpa Schwichtenberg and Chevy to to surprise everyone! And they were surprised to see us too!
We also had a great visit with Aunt Debbie and cousins Andrea and Connor in Little Falls. I met them for the first time.
