My Brush With Greatness




On my 1st Mother's Day, we went to Sesame Place. Or as my mommy calls it, "A Land Without Time Outs." I got to meet Elmo, who is not really as full of himself as you might think for someone so self-referencial, and Big Bird. He. Is. HUGE! My Grandpa and Grandma came along, and the night before, I got extra hugs from my Godmother Bobbie, who almost got me walking! Maybe one more batch of homemade cookies...Daddy!! Off my blog!
Coming soon...metubes.com, at the end of the month.

Hoppy Easter!




We had a great time at Easter! First we went to church at St. Ann's, and then we went to brunch at St. Ronald's, because mommy gave up Super Sizing for Lent. What is blasphemy?
We had an egg hunt, which I supervised from my big red car, and Aunt Bobbie, my Godmother sent use fancy, but not too fancy clothes. My brother, Big, was not all about sitting for a picture, and clearly wanted my teething biscuit, but I know where they hid his peeps, so I'll have the last laugh. The Easter Bunny sent us 2 baskets. One with bubbles and books, and another with lots of red, white and blue baseball stuff. I guess he has another office in Boston, where I would think it would be pretty cold to hop around without pants on, but what do I know? Happy Easter to you!

Going to Geogetown


This spring I got strong like bull in my neck and head. I started rolling with the best of them, and graduated from PT at Good Beginnings. I still check in, because they miss me, but I am now an alum, which is nice.
My most recent adventures include a bunch of visits to new friends who try to get me to clap when they say things like "sweet potato" and "mommy" into a speaker, like it is karoke or something. They don't know that my vocabulary is actually loaded with words like "frozen waffle" and "you have a time out for kicking the dog" due to my environment, but I am guest there, so who am I to judge?
At Georgetown audiology, mommy made me wear a winter hat with ear flaps on a spring day, right after they put the special headphones in my ears. This made it very hard for me to win the game where I pull the wires out, which was a pain for a second, but then there were all these bubbles to look at. Mommy noticed that it always the doctoral student who blows the bubbles. She once again feels that perhaps she went to school for the wrong thing. More later, but if I don't smile when you say, sweet potato on the left, don't think it is because I am not hungry! Try again!
