Headed to the office

If this train doesn't show up soon, I'm never going to get to work on time.

Trip to the zoo

Today is Mom's birthday, so yesterday I took her to the zoo to celebrate. Is there a better way to have a party than by watching elephants?

We got to see a red panda and a zebra and some bears and this seal. Dad said I couldn't go swimming with him, but I did get to see how he moves underwater.

And we saw lions and tigers! They wouldn't go swimming, though. It's a shame, because it was really warm.

And there were monkeys too. They needed a hair cut really bad. 

Here's some video of me at the Amazon River exhibit -- you wouldn't believe how big the fish were. 

I think Mom had fun, but she didn't seem happy when I asked if she was as old as the Galapagos turtles.

Parade time again

The dragons were interesting, but the free lollipop was really the best part of the event.

Apatasaurous-palooza

We got some new students at daycare this week. They roar a lot. 

A typical conversation

Dad says this is what I'm like all the time, but he doesn't know that I ate a pound of skittles right before he turned the camera on. 

Artistic mystery

How does Dad keep finding these little animals in the Play-Dough container? When I look in there, all I see is a big red blob.

That time again

If Mom and Dad are gonna make me mow the law every summer, I should start getting an allowance early.

Big trucks!

Uncle Mike and Ollie told me about a big trucks event at the Baltimore Museum of Industry on Saturday, so of course I had to take Mom and Dad. I thought showing mom how sanitation trucks work would be the perfect Mother's Day present.

Here I am driving an oversized street sweeper. Don't worry, I put on my seatbelt before I engaged the clutch.

It took some convincing, but I managed to get Mom to play on one of the construction trucks too. She didn't find bouncing on the back lift as much fun as I did.

 OHMIGAWD IT'S A FIRE TRUCK!!!!!!!!

Ollie and I climbed all over the fire trucks at the event. He's still too little to really control the steering wheel, but he'll get there.

Also, there was a bomb disposal robot. I don't have a joke here. That was kinda spooky.

Nice work, Uncle Mike. Let me know when you need me to bring the street sweeper through your neighborhood again.

The more things change (playground edition)

May, 2012

May, 2013

I don't see any difference, except that playground train shrunk over the winter. 

Feeling blue

Grandmom warned me this would happen if I ate too many blueberries...

Boy in the bubble

C'mon, Dad. Let me pop it already.

Rock climbing

This playground is for kids 5-12? I don't think so.

Hold on, Grandmom and I found some real rock climbing on the other side.
