Go Fly a Kite

That's exactly what I did. Grandma and Grandpa came to visit because both Mom and Dad worked this week. I went through my usual list of activities, "Go ride the horses, chase the goats, go to the park, swim in the pool, etc...." Since it was breezy and cool for most of the week, Grandma and Grandpa suggested that we try flying a kite.

I didn't know too much about kites when we started. I knew when Curious George tried to fly a kite it carried him away, so I was a little cautious at first. Okay, let's see here. This thing looks like a triangle......

...aaaaand, it has some funny faces on one side. Is that it? Nope. Before I knew it Grandma, Grandpa, and I were flying the kite way up in the sky. It was so much fun.

After that, I played with my Play dough. Mom and Dad both agree, Play dough smells cool. They said it reminds them of when they were kids - sentimental old fogies!

I'm working hard on learning how to eat new things. This week I tried pureed chicken and noodles. I wasn't quite sure about them at first, but I think they are sort of okay. I still really like peach cobbler.

Grandma and I were talking about my birthday. She asked me what I wanted for a present. Without a single bit of hesitation, I said "I want a guinea pig. Puuh-wease." My "L's" are still coming along. Eventually that will sound more like "Please". Anyway, I digress. When Grandma passed on my request, Mom's eyes got really big. She said, "Oh no. There will be no guinea pigs in this house!" Apparently, Mom is not overly fond of rodents.

I've got some time to work on her. Dad thinks it's a non-starter - but we'll see.

I'm going to take off for now. See you guys next week!
