THINGS I SAY #50

I am playing LEGOs with Daddy.

Daddy: Why don’t we make a platform for your Minifig to stand on so your helicopter can rescue him. I’ll start building the platform.

Me: Maybe I should make the platform. It’s a bit challenging.

CASSINI

I’m really interested in the solar system right now. So I was super into the Cassini spacecraft and had to make some drawings about it.

PLUMBING SUPPLY

Hallelujah, we have a working kitchen faucet again!

It only took 5 days, several trips to the hardware store, and Nick – the guy who was intimately familiar with our super weird plumbing (he used to live in our townhouse complex!) and told us what we needed to do to get around it. George Morlan Plumbing Supply FTW!

I think I’d make a good bathtub model, don’t you?

Talking about pipes and fittings is boring.

ELIWEN IV

I had another play date with Eliwen yesterday. As usual, we started off at the Singer Hill Cafe.

Then we went to the Oregon City Public Library, where I did some more flower hunting.

Next, I had to go check out my latest work from last weekend’s LEGOLab. (I go every Saturday with Daddy now.)

Then we played on the computers. I had my own computer, but I wanted to check out what she was watching (a video that had girls with butterfly wings or something??)

Then it was off to play with the second greatest building toy (after LEGO, of course)… Magna-Tiles! I built an airport terminal, as I always do.

Then we went off on our separate ways. I always stay for a really long time. I like the peace and quiet. And once Mommy drags me out of the house, it’s hard to drag me back in.

POST-OP APPOINTMENT

Yesterday, I went to Doernbecher Children’s Hospital for the first time in almost two months. Mommy learned how to change my g-tube button. I was a super brave kid even though it felt really weird to have it taken out and put back in.

The best part was that I got the new tram sticker!

CRAYOLA MASTERPIECES #2

I hope you like my art because I am a drawing machine!

Here is a family portrait, including Daddy spitting out green beans, me eating linguini, and Mommy eating cereal. And there’s a hot air balloon, airplane, and submarine, just for kicks.

Spaceships. Everywhere.

Ode to Pink.

A helicopter, a couple of aerial trams, and a sun.

Plaaaaanes. And rectangles.

A couple helicopters, an aerial tram, and a sun.

Hot air balloons and blimps.

A submarine in the ocean.

Me just casually writing my name while Mommy washes dishes.
