Ice Time (but different this time)

So the The Lemon Ice King was cool, but on Saturday, I got to try out the coolest sport, ice skating! Mom was a skating teacher until she was 6 months pregnant with me, so technically, this wasn't my first time on the ice.
Papa gave me awesome hockey skates in just my size and I yelled, "hockey hockey hockey" all over his office at the Long Beach Arena, where he's the big boss. Papa even gave Dad a pair of skates and he did awesome, Mom said. Mom was excited to be back on the ice and she even did a fancy spin or two.
I stood on the ice all by myself and moved about 8 feet in total, four feet on two separate times. I can't wait to go back again!

The Coolest Kid on the Blog

After the museum, we stopped at one of the most famous places in Queens, The Lemon Ice King of Corona. Mmmmm Mmmmm. No matter that it was 35 degrees out, ices are always a good idea. Mom had lemon, Dad had pina colada and I had a raspberry (and it wasn't blue!)

It's Museum Time Again

On Friday Mom and Dad took me to the Queens Hall of Science. It's over there by that big ball in Flushing (I like flushing toilets, by the way). Mom says that's where the World's Fair was once, but I just want to know when I can play catch with that big giant ball!

The museum is made just for kids! Everything is touchable. There's a preschool area where I played with groceries and blocks and watched a puppet show ... well, for a minute at least!







What are Dad and I looking at?

Balls, of course. These kept going around and around until they fell down a hole (hole is one of my new favorite words).
The Hall of mirrors was so fun. I was really big and really small and chubby and skinny and oh, boy, this is about when I started getting tired from all the adventures.

But I still had enough energy to make a 70s tv commercial with Dad. This experiment was supposed to show you something about light I think. It was just fun to move my arms in the dark and make cool stuff appear on screen!
I'm the one with the pink outline.

Monkeying Around

Mom started this quilt for me a long long long long time ago. She finished it this week. I call it my George quilt because anything that has monkeys is related to Curious George.



Mom and I have matching George slippers too!

Shake n Bake

Mom and I made cookies after the museum on Monday. Mmmm Oatmeal Butterscotch Chocolate Chip!

A Day in the City

Mom and Dad are off from work this week so today we went into Manhattan and went to the American Museum of Natural History. I was so excited to see the dinosaur bones since Curious George knocks them over in one of my favorite movies, Curious George, silly!


We saw Dad's favorite dinosaur, the triceratops and Mom really likes the giant whale.


Dad took me into the butterfly exhibit. As soon as we entered, a GIANT butterfly landed right on Dad's pants! Here it is:

After running all around the museum I was pretty wiped out. I fell asleep as Mom and Dad wheeled me through Central Park.
When I woke up, we were in The Boathouse. Mom and Dad were eating lunch with their friend Pat. Pat invited Mom and Dad (and me too!) to lunch. She took this nice picture of the family after lunch, but was camera shy herself (even though she's a very pretty lady!)

Leader of the Pack

Uncle David and Aunt Shannon gave me this awesome Ducati motorcycle for Christmas. See what a good rider I am?

Move over Elmo

It's time for Wall E! That's my latest obsession. I run around the house yelling wall-EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wall-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wall-EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! My babysitter Doreen, or DeeDee as I call her, gave me this cool Wall-E blanket and pillow after my hospital visit. She said you can't go to the hospital and not get a present!

It's vocab time!

Here's a recent video where I show off my vocabulary skill.



and did you know I am a famous singer?
Here's proof as I sing along with La La La La Lemon by the Barenaked Ladies. (originally by Bert and Ernie):

I have a baby

I have a baby. It was Mom's baby when she was a little girl. His name is Andre Thomas. I like to put diapers on him, dress and undress him, share my passies with him and even let him sit in my booster seat at lunch!

The snow might be melting

Yup, the snow is melting today and I will be sad that I can't ask for "baaaallll," my word for snowball, to eat, but the winter ain't over yet. Dad took me out in the backyard to play on the slide, "cook" the snow in my handy kitchen utensils and throw snow around. Mom snapped these photos from the window.

This one's for you.
