I don’t see what’s so funny about this – something about a ‘juxtaposition’, but my editor is insisting I post this.  Maybe one of my readers can explain it to me…

Here I’m practicing my organizational skills.  I need to keep track of all my important dates (like my upcoming birthday!) on my calendar.

Thanks for my colorful birdie calendar, Grandma!

We had a sunny day recently and those strawberries were thirsty!  They needed water right away, and I was just the one to give it to them.

As you can see, I am very gentle when I water, and each strawberry plant gets individual attention.  I can’t afford to have any drop in strawberry production this year – they’re just too yummy!

When Mommy is working in the kitchen, I like to help.   I usually get to scoop flour between the mixing bowl and measuring cup, but today Daddy gave me a special task: lentils!  These little black beans are very tricky to keep track of, and they go everywhere if you spill them.  I’m getting pretty good at not spilling them now, but it took some practice.

Our trip started with going to the airport, and getting on an airplane!

I got to sit right next to Daddy!  The plane ride was fun because I got to eat snacks for almost the entire time.

And watching the big fans go around and around was fun, too.

We went to visit Grandpa and Nanna, and when we went to lunch, we parked right next to a FIRE ENGINE!

The fireman that was there was very nice and let Daddy and me sit in the driver’s seat!  Wow!

Later, we went to the park and I had fun on the swings…

…and then I spotted a garbage truck rumbling by.  I persuaded Daddy to let me down from the swing so I could chase the truck.  We were in luck as we caught up to José on his break, and he was nice enough to let me up into the cab with him.  WOW!

And then I got to sit with Grandpa in his RACE CAR!  I can’t wait to see Grandpa driving his race car for real!

Later, at Aunt Danee and Uncle Tommy’s house, there was an Easter Egg hunt.  “Cuz” Avery and I found all the eggs in no time flat.  Check out Avery’s swell hat!

Ma got us some nice Easter baskets, and Aunt Danee and Aunt Carol got us bunnies to play with.  Thanks Ma!  And Aunt Danee and Aunt Carol are really Great Aunts.

Oh, and I got a new aunt this weekend, too.  M&D said that while Grandma was looking after me, Uncle Ryan got married to Aunt Liz.  If aunts give you stuff like Easter bunnies, I’m all for having as many aunts as I can!

My dump truck is decidedly multi-purpose.  Not only can you move laundry with it, but it will hold the contents of most drawers in the house.  Ask me how I know!

Ho hum.  Yet another load of laundry to move.  Do the laundry chores ever end??

Well, I guess as long as I can have some fun doing them, then it’s OK.

I like eating snacks with my friend Hop.  He is always very gracious about my offers for snacks, but he never takes me up on them, so I get to eat them all!

Clearly, I’m going to have to find a different buddy when snacks turn to brussel sprouts!

One of my new favorite things to do is play with the shiny knobs on the door.  Now that I know how to move the stool around, it’s no problem reaching them.  Now if I could just figure out why M&D get that worried look on their faces when I’m having so much fun.  Really Mom.  Dad?  What is it?

I wanted to share my favorite video with all my readers.

Daddy was nice enough to take me outside to watch while he was filming, and do all the editing.  Now I can watch it over and over (Ed. Note: and over and over) on Daddy’s iPod.

Enjoy!

PS: YouTube will let you play this as many times as you want!  Of course, you might have to ask your parents for permission.
