I hung out with Sebastian again at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. I hated the part of the aquarium that was indoors (too many people taking flash pictures!). But the outside was okay. Mom liked the penguins the best. I think I liked the stingrays. (I also met twin almost-two-year-olds named Kai and Coleman. But no pictures of them because they were too fast!)
Thanks to Sebastian’s Mom for the picture of me and Mommy!
Yesterday was our last day in New Hampshire. It rained in the morning, so I stayed in and played with Duplo blocks and my cars. Then we went to King Arthur Flour, where I tried (and am pretty sure I liked) a maple flavored lollipop. Then I went to Left Bank Books on the Dartmouth campus where I immediately found their stash of cars!
Bye, New Hampshire! Bye, Grandma and Grandpa!
We went back to the beach! This time, I wasn’t as interested in going in the water. But Grandpa showed me how to use my fishing reel on his boat and I played with my cars in the sand. Uncle Mike and Auntie Sarah joined us, too, and Uncle Mike pretended to be a sea monster.
Also, we went out to eat for breakfast and dinner. Not only was I amazingly well-behaved, but I also nibbled on some fruit, Grandma’s pickles, Mommy’s home fries, and Auntie Sarah’s maple syrup. Plus, I succeeded in sucking on a straw for the very first time! I’m not totally sure how I did that, but I’ll work on it again today.
Wow, what a day in Grantham! We went to the lake and I loooved playing in the water. We got to see Grandpa’s new boat. I helped Grandma vacuum, played in my new red car, and nibbled on some pizza! What will tomorrow bring?
We drove from Manhattan up to New Hampshire and stopped to see Cousin Amy and John on the way. Amy made us lunch and I put a meatball in my mouth!
Last night, I went to my friends Crystal and Chris’ wedding! Okay, well…I hung out pretty close to the wedding outside under the Brooklyn Bridge. Music and camera flashes make me upset, so I let Mom and Dad know very clearly that I wanted to stay OUTSIDE.
But it was fun playing with my new yellow taxi and New York City stickers. Thanks, Crystal and Chris!
Yesterday, we flew to New York. It was a long day, but I was really good on the plane! I played on the iPad, poured water into a cup, napped a little, tried (and liked) pineapple juice, and put grapes and chocolate chip cookies in my mouth. Mom and Dad were very proud of me.
Yesterday, Andy and I went to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. First, we played in the “spaghetti” and chased each other around the plaza. Then we headed over to the Boone Children’s Gallery to learn the art of East Asian brush painting. I painted several masterpieces. (Oh, and I tried some of Andy’s gummy bears!)
Russell’s car is something I think about constantly and talk about at random times. It’s so amazing.
Yesterday morning, we had an impromptu beach outing. I had so much fun, I didn’t want to leave. Like, I really, really didn’t want to leave. It was a scene.
