Playing like a boy

My mom swears there is a difference between boys and girls. I say "how would you know?!"  Regardless of if this is true or not, I sure had a great time playing at the museum. 

I played puppets!

Put on a great show. 

Learned to use my thumb to make the mouth go. 

Used it to bite my mom, duh.

Tossed the puppets around

When I wasn't successful at landing him on top every time, I figured out a means to assist me

Then uttered the phrase "now he's stuck forever."

Followed by "have to get him killed"

Then found a sword

Which aided my fight with the King 

Then a girl came to play!

I yelled 

She danced around in a purple dress

I shot stuff with my sword

She posed while her mom drew her picture

I threw myself on the floor and played hurt yelling, "I'm very real sad"

She made the puppets talk. 

I made and knocked down castles

She read a book. 

See, we played the exact same thing. My mother is losing her mind. 

In other news, my new favorite thing to talk about is butts. Specifically peanut butter on butts. If you're not using this in your daily conversations, you're living life very wrong. 

Preschool Game Day

As I'm sure you realize, I've been very careful to rub my wonderful opportunities in your face as often as possible. Today is no different. Our local recreation center offers a preschool game day every month. My mom has been slacking and never took me before! I'm shocked that I've been missing out for so long!

 

 After the fabulous obstacle course, they gave us sticks! This day couldn't get any better!

My first sledding trip

You all know just how much I love the snow.  We received another bundle of the white stuff this weekend, so we took full advantage and had some winter fun!  My cool (or cold in this case) parents took me to a park to go sledding.  I'm not going to even pretend it was about me. My dad got a new GoPro camera for Christmas, so I KNOW that him getting to use his new toy was the real reason behind the trip.  Either way, I had a blast!






My mom wants me to warn you that the next two videos are pretty long as they are the GoPro videos.  She didn't take the time to edit them down, so you get to experience my whole sledding extravaganza right along with me!  And not to worry - when I ask to go play at the playground, they didn't really force me to stay on the sled as it might seem.  I have the pictures to prove it.  Keep scrolling.





The playground - at long last!

And my wonderful icicle for a snack.  Man do they know how to treat a kid.

How to outsmart your parents when they try to put limits on your education through exploration

I think the title and video speak for themselves

Christmas 3 of 3

Once we completed our Christmas spectacular with Dad's side of the family, we went to meet Mom's side in Columbia, MO for one last Christmas.

Nothing like Christmas on the go!

Mimi brought along some great literature for us to enjoy.

Then there were more presents!  Could a boy be any more lucky?

Keagan showed me how his lego starship worked.

I think I'm a pretty good learner.

This was a Christmas filled with family, fun, and fighting. I've been working on my sword skills.

Oh course, the very best thing about this Christmas experience was riding the luggage cart. No Christmas would be complete without it. 

So, that's it!  Three Christmas celebrations in one week.  Now what am I going to do with my time?

Christmas 2 of 3

After my first Christmas celebration, we packed up and headed out to visit family.  First stop: Mema and Papa's house.

After a fun filled evening of Silver Dollar city followed by another fun day at JumpMania, it was finally time to see my cousins.  We started our Christmas morning with reindeer pancakes.

I was a fan!

As was Zoey

Before they would let us open any presents, they made us pose for some pictures.  Then took their sweet time...I'm not sure what the hold up was...

At long last!

Merry Christmas!

Once we spent a few moments humoring the adults by playing with the new toys, we went back to what we really enjoyed - the toys we've been playing with since we were born...handed down from our parents.

Maybe my favorite activity (or at least favorite reward) was a candy cane hunt.

Smell that goodness?

We both tracked one down!  But there was only one!

Thank you for sharing, Zoey.  I would like to say I will return the favor in the future, but the truth is that I have too much of a sweet tooth to share my candy.

So I'll consume this one right now and continue to consume all candy canes for the rest of time.

Once our bellies were full of candy canes and our teeth totally covered in sugar, we figured crafting would be a good move.

The next day we were back to JumpMania for some more fun!

Then off to Incredible Pizza for even more fun!

Just playing ball with my Great Grandpa

While we were there, Dad took me in a race car!

What a fun second Christmas I was blessed to have!
