Oh what a beautiful mornin'
Alexander asked for his rocking horse so he could be Curly with his cowboy hat riding his horse. Can you find the maverick winkin' his eye?
Storytime revisited
one of the first of many ...
Disney Transportation
Alexander got a triple dose of Disney transportation this weekend! First, we road the Monorail into the Park, then he "drove" a yellow Autopia car (just the color he asked for!) and after that, he took his first submarine ride! We had a "busy day" like Alex likes to say.
I'm a baby flamingo!
First times
Today, Daddy and Alexander rode the Dumbo ride at Disney for the first time (yup, both for the first time)!
Daddy's early present
Alexander learned to flour his dough and rolling pin when rolling it out to help Mommy make Daddy's early birthday pie! Check out the finished product - it was delicious.
Mommy & Daddy's Anniversary!
to help mommy & daddy celebrate their anniversary, alexander helped mommy make some banana blueberry muffins from scratch in the morning! he's becoming a mixing expert with his special giraffe whisk!
tortilla time!
Tonight, not only did Alex play in his tent for the first time, but he also made tortillas for the first time! After Mommy made the masa, he and Daddy placed the ball on the press, (which was made by Alexito's great-grandpa, Esteban), and then pressed it down to a perfectly shaped tortilla! Before dinner, Alex ate a couple of tortillas to make sure they were ok to eat! We had mini veggie-stuffed quesadillas with a doctored-up pico de gallo, blacks beans and brown rice.
celebration at the park
on March 11, 2011, there's a post called construction at the park. and on August 24, 2011, our local park was finally officially re-opened with a fantastic new playground for kids of all ages! Abuelita came with us to celebrate and she and daddy colored with Alexander and one of the booths.
goodnight moon/ buenas noches luna
it's inevitable. this book is as classic as everyone says it is (in English or Spanish - Alexander enjoys both). although, I bet you didn't know that the real point of the story is to find the little mouse on each set of colored page!s Alex can show you were to find the lil mouse each time!
AAA discovers escalators
Alexander quickly picked up how to step on and off the escalators at the Mission Viejo mall today. Of course, having Daddy there to swing him off makes it that much more fun! (I think this was his 6th time riding it up and down, which is 12 times altogether!)
one of the morning rituals
This is one of Alexander and Daddy's morning rituals. The stack of books is what Alex went to get from the bookcase and Daddy's already read to him.
in the mix!
just like daddy
i like mine better than yours!
AAA goes to town on his teething caterpillar while daddy enjoys his latte. They're men about town, just stopping by at the local cafe. We love our Peet's!!
