playing the castanet!

now that he's had a couple of music classes, nj knows how to use the turtle instruments. he shakes and hits the tambourine, shakes the maraca, and softly clicks the castanet. i was pleasantly surprised that he kept pressing the button to play music and play the instruments!

happy birthday, ah-gong!

it's not 'till tomorrow, but we wanted to celebrate and see him.

waiting for yogurt...

some yogurt to calm our tummies... we (mama and baba) have not been feeling our best. but we're thankful that nj has stayed well!

helping mama clean

he moved the kitchen stool over to the counter, took a towel hanging off the oven, got up and started wiping the counter. loves to clean, just like mama! if only baba had seen for himself, he'd laugh and roll his eyes.

milk bubbles

it's about time to get him off his sippy for milk, he's been drinking it from a straw fine. today he discovered how to blow air into it. he'd blow into the straw and say, "bubbles!" with a big smile.

loading up my cart and going...

the playground stare

i could hardly get up in the morning and was having a tough time, so i took him to the park to get him out of the house. he climbed up and slid down a few times. but he spent the rest of the time staring at these two older girls (about 10, i think), spinning themselves silly on the swings.
