New laptop

Aunt Heidi and Uncle Mike got me this fun new children's laptop for Christmas. It's pretty cool -- it says the alphabet, makes animal noises, plays some music. But I can't get it to open up this blog at all. Maybe it's broken.

Crazy clean

Mom called this my Nick Nolte mug shot impression. Whatever. I'd like to see how neat your hair looks right after you get out of the bathtub.

Our favorite word

I still can't say a lot of words yet, but there's one I know very well.

Midweek surprise Grandpa visit

That's always happy news. Plus, I get to show off my trains again.

Hanging out with Ollie

I got to hang out with cousin Tommy a little over Christmas, but I just finally caught up with cousin Ollie this weekend to start teaching him all about parents and how to teach them everything they need to learn. We had fun, but I told him he needs to work on sharing Grandpop's lap better. After all, I called it first.

Boy playing with trains

Insert your cliche joke here.

Playroom 2.0

One of Mom's and Dad's New Year's resolutions was apparently to get me to clean my play area more often. Before I went to bed yesterday, it looked like this:

But after I woke up, here's what they had put together:

New shelves, new bins, and a new set-up for me to keep all my toys in. It's pretty cool, but I still don't understand why I can't leave my books all over the place. They're easier to find that way.
