Home with Dada

Mommy is in China right now but Dada is home to take care of me now that school is over. I miss mommy but I told her to bring me presents and maybe a new chewy for Kiwi. I hear Bejing is a great place to shop. Gung Gung will be quite proud of my pronunciation of Bejing. It must be my Chinese genes.
I am really enjoying my new backyard. Mommy got fed up with the dirt, I mean grass patch in our backyard so they finally put in Turf for me and Kiwi. Now I can play in the backyard all the time and swing on the rings! Dada says this is the first time he has ever just sat in the backyard. It's really nice. It's a good think mommy picked up that 30 hour flight to China to start paying for it!
I got to ride the train today. I saw it on Thursday when we were at CostCo so Dada took me for a ride today. It was fun! It wasn't like the steam choo choo at Disneyland just a light rail train but it was neat because I was way up high and could see all over. I sat on Dada's lap so I could see out. We stopped at a Farmer's Market on our way home and I ate lots of samples. What can I say, I a growing girl. BTW, I must point out my new board shorts. Daddy got me new swim trunks and a rash guard for the summer. I out grew my old rash guards months ago and now I look like a sausage bursting out of its casing. I know the shorts are for swimming but I have been insisting on wearing them for the past two days, so when Dada was dressing me this morning I made sure to find them, hand them to him and say ON! How could he refuse?

Mommy's Birthday and Father's Day

A fun trip to the Dog Beach so Kiwi and I could both play in the sand & surf.

At the Park

Mommy took me to Polliwog Park in Manhattan Beach today and I had a blast. There were so many things to see and do. I watched the ducks swim in the pond and some older kids play water polo at the pool. I climbed stairs, ran through the grass, looked out the window at the playgound (climbed out it too) and even walked through a neat botanical garden. I can't wait to go back.

Memorial Weekend Wrapup

It has been a busy two weeks since I last posted. Papa and Gramma were down in Newport Beach last week so I got to go down there 3 times to visit. I got to eat special treats, go swimming and play in the sand. I impressed everyone with my growing vocabulary. I have been hanging out with my friend Anna-Anna on Wednesdays at our Fun Time class and at the Aquarium. I even got to go to her 2nd birthday party this past Sunday. Two weeks ago mommy and daddy took me to the SCUBA exhibition in Long Beach. I can't wait until I'm old enough to dive! Since the weather has been nice I've spent a lot of time playing with my kitchen on the balcony and going to the beach. Just the other day a big present showed up on the doorstep. My very own pink car! Thank you Auntie Steff. I haven't figured out how to make the car go forward with my feet yet, but I like to get out and push. It's good exercise and I'm strong. I was very concerned that it didn't come with a seatbelt, safety is important you know. Mommy saved the day and gave me a special pink belt to wear in the car, so I am ok now. Thanks to H & O for my packages of books also. I'm having a great time reading all my new stories!
