The homemade toilet paper tube tram returns.

OMSI
I had some awesome Daddy and Me time at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry over the weekend. We went specifically to see the USS Blueback because I’ve become really interested in submarines.
Here I am steering this puppy!
The bunks are super small!
After our tour of the USS Blueback, we also saw a LEGO exhibit. And I found out I’m 98 LEGO bricks tall!
CELERY SCULPTURES
Mommy was chopping some celery, so I stole some to build things.
HOUSE PARTY
I’m taking advantage of being allowed to stay home all day everyday to cover the entire house in crumpled paper, string, and colorful plastic.
LATEST ARTWORK
I’ve started drawing actual things, instead of the abstract art of my past.
This one is a whole bunch of planes crashing into each other.
This one is what the world looked like “a long, long time ago,” followed by some writing.
This one is an airplane flying over Portland at night.
This one has lots of airplanes and lots of planet Earths.
This one is a whole bunch of space vehicles and satellites.
IT’S BEEN A TIRING WEEK
THE TAYLOR’S VISIT
The Taylor gang visited yesterday! Cousin Kenji is four months old now and very different from the last time I saw him.
Thank you, Aunt Lisa and Uncle Ryan, for making the long trek with a baby (Mommy and Daddy tell me it’s not easy!) and for the super cozy blanket.
And thank you, Nana and Papa, for coming and taking care of Chubs during my surgery and making lots and lots of food for all of us!
AIRPLANE SHOW AND TELL
I showed Nana my Hello Kitty airplane and regaled her with tales of my trips to Russia and France that I made “a long, long time ago.”
G-TUBE SURGERY
I am now the proud owner of a g-tube. We checked in at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital at 6am on Thursday morning. By 9am, I was a tubie.
When I got to my hospital room, I practiced feeding my g-tube baby.
Daddy practiced feeding the g-tube baby, too.
That day and night, I tried to walk around, but it was not so fun. So I hung out on my bed and played with cars and planes.
The next day, I was afraid of walking around. So the nice ladies at the hospital lured me out with the promise of Legos and airplanes. After that, I just wanted to wander around and play in the playroom.
After I was discharged, we rode the tram!
PRE-OP DAY
I am having my g-tube placed this morning. So I spent yesterday doing important things, like washing my syringes and looking really cool in sunglasses. Also, during my session with my occupational therapist, I drew my very first person!
