Birthday Lessons

So, now that I'm three years old, I have to start acting like an adult, right? --- NAH!
Mommy and Daddy threw me a birthday party with all my Pacific Northwest friends. There was homeade cake made by Grandma, presents, and ... (wait for it) ... BUBBLE WRAP!!!!




As you can see, my friends and I truly enjoyed the bubble wrap. I even overheard Mommy say to Daddy, "That was the best eight bucks I ever spent!" (Ofcourse, Daddy then said, "Eight Bucks for bubble wrap?!? You gotta be kidding me!")

Here we all are waiting for the cake to show up. We had our party hats on and "Curious George" masks.
Even Bennett got into the Birthday spirit!

Finally, the cake arrived, and boy what a doozie! I saw three sticks of butter go into the oven, and a beautfiul (and tasty) cake come out ... now that is magic!




However, everyone knows that the best part of the birthday is the presents! I did enjoy opening them up, but according to Daddy and as you can see from this video below, it's never too early to learn another rule of life - SHARING!




Lastly, the big present from Mommy and Daddy was an outdoor playhouse. 180 screws, 3 beers, and 4 hours later, Daddy had completed the project. All that hard work should not go unnoticed, so I made sure that Daddy took adequate "picnic" breaks with me. Here's a snapshot of us enjoying lunch:

I Love Airplanes

Airplanes have been a passion of mine ever since I got my first one. To foster the importance of technology and flying, Mommy and I went to visit the Museum of Flight in Seattle.

Teaching Bennett the ropes

Lately, each day has been about a new lesson with Bennett. For example, the other day was about the importance of exercise:




The next day was more on associating colors to objects and the importance of reading:


Just my take here, but Bennett seemed more interested in the exercises than the reading :) Ofcourse, the self-grooming habits are most important, and I was happy to share my knowledge in the next video below...
