Sometimes I pretend I'm a train...

A day at the park.

Last week, Mommy and Daddy (who was playing hookey from work, by the way) took me to park. It was pretty fun. I slid down a bunch of different slides, I climbed up a bunch of different things, I swung on the monkey bars, I played in the sandbox, and I just otherwise had a fine time.

Daddy slid down the slide with me, and I think he had fun, too.

Mommy mostly took videos and said things like "Oh dear God, is he supposed to know how to do that?"

I think that as a family outing, it went over pretty well.

Even cowboys get the blues...

Mommy took these videos and pictures of me when it was SUPPOSED to be my naptime...

She's as bad as the paparazzi, always trying to catch me in a MOMENT.

I wonder where the Olympics will be in 2020?

'Cause it looks like I'll be ready by then...

Daddy and I practice hard every day.

And we're constantly working on my floor routine.

This one gets an 8 for difficulty, but maybe only a 7 for form. What do you think?

There's a big purple bear in my bed.

And it's darn inconvenient.

See, here's what happened. One day last week, Mommy and Daddy put me to bed, but there wasn't any room for me, because the big purple bear was in my way. I'm not scared of it or anything, but there is simply not room for both of us in my bed.

So, I moved my blankie, my pillow, my little brown bear, and myself up on to my changing table. It's not quite as comfortable as my bed, but at least I'm not getting squished by the big purple bear.

Mommy came into my room in the middle of the night, and this is where she found me.

The next night, Mommy brought some Bear Away Spray into my room, and we sprayed the heck out of my bed. And guess what? It worked... at least for a little while. Then the bottle broke, and guess where I ended up?

Big purple bear, it's gonna be you or me. And I'm betting on me.

Aunt Barbie lets me get away with a lot.

This is me, outside. In my pajamas. Sliding down a wet slide.

Aunt Barbie was supposed to be keeping an eye on me.

I love it when she comes to visit :).

YAR!

Mommy was going through some stuff the other day, and she found this "new" hat! Well, she said it's not really new - that Katie got it for me when I was just a little baby. But that was a long time ago, and I don't really remember it, so it's new to me.

I really like to wear it, but Mommy keeps calling it a pirate hat. I beg to differ, and keep telling Mommy that it's a dinosaur hat. Whichever, it looks pretty cute on me, don't you think?
