This and That

Tweet

This blog is going to be a miscellany of this and that, kinda like my attention span these days.

Gecko. We found a tiny gecko with the skin falling off his head so you could see the inside. He was missing part of his tail, too. I wanted to play with him (he was a little slower than most), but Mommy wouldn't let me.

Bidet. I put my toothbrush down the bidet drain. (Look up the definition if you don't know what that is, though if you were Portuguese, you would know. The bidet - not the toothbrush. If you don't know what a toothbrush is, shame on you.) Mommy cleverly got it out and drenched it in mouthwash.

Log in Bathtub. I had my first log in bathtub experience. Mommy wants to know what the proper protocol is for this event. Do you grab baby out first, or log out first?

Drinking Water. I love drinking the water in the bathtub. (When reading this entry, ignore the one above, please.) Especially sucking it from my washcloth. What do Mommies do when the tap water is not necessarily safe for drinking?

Bubbles and Play Dough. Mommy made homemade bubbles and play dough for me last week. I tasted both of them and they are NASTY! She's got some serious work to do on those recipes.

Safety Gates. Daddy installed these silly gates around the house that keep me from going places. They still need locks, but we are getting there . . . In the meantime, it messes up my skateboard practice:



Photography Business. Mommy let me use her camera, and I think I am going to start my own photography business. Here is my first photo of some of my favorite things - electrical outlets and phone jacks. Maybe I better not quit my day job just yet, huh?

Tylenol Effect. Last week I was running a low-grade fever, so Mommy gave me some Tylenol. Boy, did that make me feel good! I was jumpin' off the bed and everything! Here is a video of me on Tylenol. (After this, Daddy put the mattress on the floor. Good thing, 'cuz I then proceeded to dive off head first and then cried about it.)

Red + Blue = Purple

Mommy has been winging school lately. So she comes up with all sorts of weird ideas, like "Ball Art" on the day our theme is "Balls." That consists of coloring a ping pong ball with a magic marker and then crumpling up a piece of paper around it, resulting in a crumpled, smudged piece of paper.

Or on the day we had Moses and the Bulrushes theme, I ate pancake pieces floating in applesauce – I'm not sure the pancake pieces qualified as baskets, even though they were fibrous with whole wheat flour and sweet potatoes in them. They were yummy, though.

And yesterday the theme was "Bed." You can tell what's on her mind, huh? So I decided not to take a morning nap in civil protest. Some other themes have been "Money" and "Telephone," as well as some numbers and colors.

For art, Mommy lets me paint the bathtub. Here is me blending red and blue. She says I will probably be an engineer and not an artist, because I am more interested in how the paint lid goes on and whether the rubber bathtub stopper will close the paint jar than I am in my artwork.

We still have fun most of the time. Mommy's just not learning as much, since she makes up everything as we go.
