Amusement
I went to Oaks Park two weekends ago with Oma and Opa. I hadn't been to an amusement park since I went there with Kristin and Carson last year.
I rode lots of rides and ate lots of carnival food. Fortunately didn't throw up the food when going on the rides.
I loved the ferris wheel and the roller coaster best of all. I would go on roller coasters all day long if I could, like mama. Oma showed me how to wave my arms in the air. After I went with her, I insisted on going again....
...but not with Oma, by myself! Good thing mama wasn't there because no way she would have let me. I was very good and held tight to the bar and didn't wave my arms in the air because my job was to stay safe and hold on tight.

Overheard
What you might have heard, had you been standing in the hallway the other night...
(from the bathroom, where I was bathing)
(from the bathroom, where I was bathing)
- Oh, nice one, penguin!
- Now the bear will jump first, then the walrus will jump next, then the penguin will go. Everybody line up!
- The water holds me up.
- Yum. Yummy, yummy water.
- I'm fully, fully, naked!
- Don't ever, ever take me out of the bath tub!
- The monkey jammy pants are awfully scary.
- Dinosaurs might bite some people. They are alone now.
- I'm a wild tiger. And mama's a wild lion. RAWR!
I missed mama.
I went next door to Mady's on Tuesday night. I was upstairs in her room and she was reading to me, when all of a sudden I had a overwhelming urge to go home. I started crying and crying, and Mady's daddy asked me if I wanted mama. I said yeah, so he carried me back home. I got better quickly when he handed me to mama. Mama wanted to know what was wrong...all I could say was "I missed you..."
Here's a video that mama took a little later, after dinner.
If you're looking at the email update, you need to come to the site to watch the video. By the way - did you know there's a video on the post that I made a few days ago, with the boat ride? You should watch that one, too.

One Week
Egad, what a busy week! I guess it all started... at the beginning of the week. As it usually does.
On Monday I had soccer class. Wonderful soccer class. Where the rest of the kids and I pretty much ignored the soccer ball and crabwalked around the gym, or played with the curtain dividers, or picked our noses...you know, typical three-year-old sports.
Tuesday I was having a "nap" and daddy came in to check on me and when he opened the door, he startled me and I started crying. I calmed down and rested a bit longer, then when daddy came in later, he apologized for scaring me. I said "yeah, it made me so sad". Which made daddy feel bad.
That night daddy went to the fire station so mama and I went out on the town. We went to the toy store, and got me a smoothie to eat, and then walked around at the Bethany Center. Then we needed to go to Trader Joe's so we headed west. Mama got hungry so we stopped at the Mad Greek Deli. I told mama I wanted a picnic. On the grass. Under the power lines. So we got food to go and went to the park. We had such a nice picnic and a nice walk along the pond. We even found a bridge (!) and threw things in the water. Then we finally made our way to Trader Joe's and by the time we got home it was late and I went right to bed.
Wednesday I had soccer again. But first I went to the dentist with mama. We had been talking about it for a while. I knew he was going to want to look in my mouth. And he takes care of my teeth. Daddy went with us and I sat with him while the dentist counted mama's teeth. The chair moves up and down and the seat goes back and I did not want to sit in it. But when the dentist told me it was my turn I bravely got up and though I was tense, I let him recline the chair.
I was kind of excited to let him look in my mouth. I opened so big and mama and daddy were so proud of me. The dentist counted my teeth and said they all looked good and healthy. I got a new toothbrush and toothpaste and I like the dentist a lot.
I was talking to mama on Thursday and told her that we don't go to yamma and baba's house anymore because "yamma gave her house away. Yamma and baba don't live there anymore. They live with Amy."
I did a lot of playing with blocks on Friday night. I do a lot of pretend play these days and when mama and daddy aren't playing with me I talk for two people. "Daddy, daddy where are you? / I'm coming, I'm coming."
Yesterday morning (Saturday) we got up and went to Great Grandma's house. We saw Aunt Barbie and their little dog Herbie, who really likes to run around and play with me. I had fun, Barbie took me to the bridge and we threw things in. But not trash. I learned a new word, "organic". I had snacks and proclaimed that they made me "so much happy!"
This morning I went on a boat with daddy and some of his friends. There were some other little boys there and they were nice. I had a permagrin all morning. The boat was so much fun - I even got to ride on a tube behind it. When I got home, mama had made cookies. I had a little rest time, then I got to get up and watch some Oswald.
I was hanging on tight!
Boats are windy.
Tonight after dinner, I went for a little scooter ride with mama. When we got back home it was time for a bath. My hair was really long so she decided to get out daddy's clippers. Before I knew it, my hair was falling to the floor. Little curls everywhere. My head looks silly now. It looks like daddy's hair! I held still almost the whole time. I kept telling her it was tickly and asking if she was done yet...
TA DA!!! We like it but probably won't do it again anytime soon. It was fun to do once. And if you're going to do it, it might as well be in the summertime.

Pool boy
On Saturday mama and I went back to the farmer's market. I was prepared this time. We had my swimsuit and a change of clothes and everything. But when we got there the fountain wasn't on. Mama kept hoping it would come on "in a little bit..." but it never did! "What a BUMMER!" I wasn't the only disappointed kid there. There were boys and girls everywhere in swimsuits. And mommies saying "I don't know why it's not on/I don't control the on-off switch." It was very sad and a lame way to save a buck.
But as soon as we got home, we packed up to go to a friend's pool. So the day was redeemed. This is Nicola and her little boy Duncan, who is the master of the pool.
I wore new water wings, which worked great! Now I just need to remember to not run next to the pool...
Jumping into the pool was a great way to cool off and splash everyone.
Aah, all that swimming was hard work and I must relax. Please don't disturb me.
After my nap/rest time we went to dinner at Red Robin just like I wanted. But when we were leaving, I was climbing in and daddy closed his car door right where my hand was. That hurt so bad I had to cry a little.
It was kind of a bad/good/good/bad day.
We also have a pool filled up on our back patio and I've been in there every day because it's sooo hot.
So that's that. What's up with you?

Movie theater popcorn
I got to go to my first movie last night! Mama came home early from work and we went down to the movie theater. I was very excited and made sure to stand right next to mama in line. We got tickets to a movie called Up. I was too excited even to want snacks (even m&ms!).
In the theater, it was a big room with a bunch of other kids and their parents. I picked out my seat and I was on the edge of it watching the previews and pre-movie stuff. The movie was about to start and I finally told mama that I was ready for a snack. So we went out and got some popcorn and m&ms. When we came back, some old guy had taken my seat so we found different ones.
The room got really dark! I mean really dark! But I wasn't scared, not even a little. We had a super fun time, eating our snacks and watching the movie. I hadn't napped yesterday so I was sleepy despite the movie-and-sugar-high and so we left a little early.
Good thing we did because right after we got home I had to poop. Maybe it was that movie popcorn.
I went into the bathroom by myself and a minute later called out to mama that there was something wrong with the toilet. She came in to find poop everywhere...all over my underpants, the toilet, my legs, feet, everything. Yep, must have been the movie theater popcorn. We cleaned up as best we could but mama decided she couldn't get everything off me with wet wipes so she stripped me down and stuck me in the sink. I stood in there and she used the faucet hose to clean me off. It was fun! I didn't stop talking about it all night.
This morning mama was getting ready for work and I came upstairs to check things out. I asked her "you don't have a penis, do you?" and she said no. "Can I see...?" (leaning in)
"I have a penis. And daddy has a penis. Maybe you could get one at the penis store." She said that was a good idea but she kicked me out then.
