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!

2011-11-19 MN Snow 077 BW

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)

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? 2011-10-19 Drawing and Nemo 008

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. 

Myron and NanaOur 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. :)

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.

Dragon ride

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.

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

2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 281We fed the birds, goats, giraffes, and felt the slimy sting rays.  2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 347The next day we were off to Disney.  We started our day with Downtown Disney and the T-Rex CafĂ©.  Spooky and fun! 2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 432

2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 441Our final vacation day was at Animal Kingdom.  I met Minnie… and saw lots of Animals.

2011-08-20 FL-Disney Trip 486

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.  imageMyron recovered quickly from the concussion and we ended our stay with a boat and mono-rail ride.
