Perfect

In the car today. A song by Laurie Beckner comes on, entitled "I'm Not Perfect".

Lyrics: I'm not perfect, not I'm not. I'm not perfect, but I've got what I've got. I do my very best. I do my very best. I do my very best each day. But I'm not perfect and I know you like me that way.

Caroline: But I'm perfect.

Myron: Yeah, me too. We're perfect.

Thanksgiving Snow

Our trip to MN included the first snowfall of the year – delightful!

To me the snow meant fun, shoveling, sliding, snowballs and so much more.  To Mama and Dada I guess it means photo time… they spend the whole time (okay almost the whole time) taking pictures.

Best Friends

This is me and my best friend Caroline.  Sometimes I forget how great she is but most days we are happy as punch! (Mama is so proud of my tree hugging)

This is Caroline and I with her little sister Lucy… she is my favorite baby.  I play ‘Lucy’ every night with Mama.

I love love love Lucy… sometimes too much.

Happy Fall

Drawing

Myron’s drawing skills are growing by leaps and bounds.  This is the first picture he drew that resembles his intentions.  Can you guess what it is?

Railroad tracks and a monorail track on the right side.

Daddy with arms, legs, hair, eyes, smile, nose and nostrils.

Airplane with jet engines.

Blue Spider

For Halloween this year, I was a blue spider with polka dots and I loved it.  The only thing I loved more was a visit from Nana. 

Our first Halloween activity was Protected Path at my school.  Nana dressed up like a web, mama as a bug, and dada a hockey player.  They said we were a very interesting family. :)

The next day we carved pumpkins!

And harvested the seeds too!

The end result was some yummy seeds and some very fine jack-o-lanterns.

 

 

 

 

 

The night of Halloween included over 200 tricker treaters at our house and a night of spooky spiderness.

How I spend my days…

My favorite days are Thursdays because I get to spend the whole day with Jenna and my BBF Caroline.  But on Monday I fell asleep while Mama was in the shower and I got another whole day with them – yeahee!

We started our day with a little breakfast… and then a little doctor play.  Poor Lucy, she had to get a shoot.  I love my life-like doll Lucy. (For those of you who don’t know Lucy is Caroline’s sister)

Then I spend my afternoons (as Jenna puts it) “protesting wakefulness and pants”

And we end the day with some park play and more BFF giggles.

Halloween Costume

Mama: Myron what do you want to be for Halloween?

Myron: A blue spider with flowers… and polka dots…

(He has given this answer consistently for two weeks now…  I guess Mama is making a blue spider with flowers and polka dots).  

Dragon Ride

September was a very busy month for us.  Florida, Disney, Amy, Ivan… it feels good to slow down just a bit.

We spent the last two weekends catching up on the little things… haircut (yes, way to short, again!), groceries, laundry… and of course a dragon ride. 

Ivan and Co.

Guess who came to CA?  My best buddy Ivan! 

We had a great time together… we visited Muir Woods…

My favorite ‘cave’ tree…

And our favorite beach…

Oh and he brought his little sister Delilah…

and his mama Amy too.

We made our fair share of mischief… but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.  Thank you for the great time Ivan (and Ivan's Mama and baby sis).

Florida

We have arrived!

We started our visit with hugs and little practice surfing in Grace’s pool.  I think I am pretty good at this… time for the beach!

Yeap…I am definitely good at this…

Grace preferred ‘hangin 10’ with AuntieOur favorite beach game was being buried…. Nana must have buried us 50 times… thanks Nana! The next day we went kayaking… and found our own island… fun! We did one more day at the beach… Put on my own sun block… and Mama and Dada did some real surfin.

When Nana and Auntie went to work we went to the Museum…  I climbed like a spider… (yes, to climb like a spider you must stick out your tongue) Grace was really good at balancing the balls on air… I made a different game with the moving air… We also did a little state boarding…. and flying….And cog turning.  My favorite parts were these larger-than-life cogs, the conveyer belt and the caves. In sum, a great day with my cousin Grace. Overall, I had a great time with Grace… I taught her how to use the potty and she taught me how to fix my hair. ; )

A trip to FL would not be complete without a trip to the Zoo. 

We fed the birds, goats, giraffes, and felt the slimy sting rays.  The next day we were off to Disney.  We started our day with Downtown Disney and the T-Rex Café.  Spooky and fun!

Our final vacation day was at Animal Kingdom.  I met Minnie… and saw lots of Animals.

We ended our trip on a scary and sad note.  Myron fell off Dada’s shoulders and landed head-first on the cement.  He experienced his first (and hopefully last) ambulance ride, ER visit, and CAT Scan.  Myron recovered quickly from the concussion and we ended our stay with a boat and mono-rail ride.
