My friends ...

I love my friends Elijah, Alicia, and little Kiki. It’s so easy to play with them and so hard to stop playing and go home. I often cry when I have to leave. I cry so hard that my parents are not sure if it’s worth playing with them. They stayed once at my place for a sleepover and it was great!!! And when I go to their house I love to go to their hot tub.

Ice skating

OK, I tried it and it didn’t really work. I don’t get it. You go in circles like you are in a prison, over and over and over … it was cold and to make it worse they played some annoying music.

Why are they forcing me to learn to walk on ice when I only recently learned to walk on the ground?

A new beginning

Can’t believe there were only 3 posts in 2010! Sorry for that, I got distracted … everything will become clear if you go to past posts (which will be created soon). Anyway, here we are now. Wow, it’s so hard to re-start the blog – I haven’t been writing for such a long time. Well, it will be a hodge-podge; I will be working on past and current events at the same time (all this will look fine for someone coming to the blog a year from now). So, either you go back to the future, or be patient.

I love bubbles!

But its' also OK to play withouth bubbles

Collecting leaves

The swimming season is over. The swimming pool is closed and leaves are all over our back yard. I had a lot of fun collecting leaves but I had much more fun in the summer …

I am three years old!

I am about 150 times older than I was on November 15, 2007 (one week after I was born) and over 1,000 times older than I was on November 9, 2007! Time flies. On November 7^th (one day before my birthday) I had a party in my house and invited my best friends Jo-Jo, Alicia, Elijah, and Kicky. We had so much fun, dancing, spinning,

and then we decided to go to my bed. Well, after a while we thought it would be even better if we all went into my crib (which I now use to store my toys).

I tried to celebrate my birthday at my school as well, on November 8, but it didn’t work. I brought a large cake so I can share it with all my friends. It was a special cake since we were not supposed to bring anything that contains chocolate and/or nuts. It was really hard to find a cake like that but then my teachers decided that we shouldn’t have even that cake since it contained milk and some kids were lactose intolerant! Can you believe this? What did we turn into? Politically correct and human-intolerant society.

Elijah and Alicia, aren't they great!

A trip to the pumpkin patch

Today, I went with Jo-Jo to a farm to pick some pumpkins and play with animals. Well, our mothers had to come with us – you know they can’t let us go alone. They were OK at the farm but then in the car they were kind of boring, just talking and talking, so Jo-Jo and I fell asleep.

Safety first!

Today we went to King’s Dominion – an amusement park in Virginia. What an experience. I didn’t bring a camera so no pictures this time. It’s probably better without photos for many reasons … When we entered the park, they searched us like we were entering a high security facility. What were they looking for? I am not really sure, but among other things they were looking for something really dangerous: cheese and meat, a main ingredient for a sandwich. Unfortunately, we did have both of those dangerous items since my parents prepared a lunch for me. The lady at the entrance said that they were so concerned about the spread of various diseases (e.g. E. Coli) that they now require that all the items that contain cheese/meat be "discarded". Weird, never heard of anything like that. I wasn’t planning to share my food with anyone. I thought that they went a bit too far with their concern about the health and contaminated food but it was OK, I just wanted to get in! And then after an hour or so, I got hungry and I realized that my food was gone – my father had to threw it away when we entered the park. We then bought some food but not only that it was overpriced (fries were $8) - it was awful! What a business model! Don’t allow people to bring they own food and then basically force them to buy junk food?! Well, this is not really new. I have experienced something similar at airports. These days we are not allowed to bring water on a plane but one day who knows, we might not be allowed to bring our clothes since you can hide all kinds of things in there. But once we go through a check point I am sure someone will be there to help us and sell us some underwear. Or, we should all be naked on a plane. Safety first!

No more diapers for me!

This morning I told my dad that I don’t want to wear my diapers any more and that I want to go to daycare wearing my Mickey Mouse underwear. Well, that didn’t go without a fight but I prevailed AND there were no “accidents” in the daycare. Yes, no more diapers for me (at least not during the day – I still have to wear them at night).

Daddy’s bluff

For a few days we didn’t have power and I couldn’t watch Elmo. My dad told me that when there is no power then there is not light and we can’t also watch TV and Elmo. Last night I wanted to watch Elmo and my dad told me that we can’t do it since there is no power again (and when there is not power …). I wasn’t sure that there was no power, so I took my moms hand, I drag her to my bedroom and asked her to turn the lights on. She was surprised that I asked her to do that but she did it. The lights came on. I went to my dad and told him, “Dad, the lights are on, there is power, let’s watch Elmo!”.

Mom is in Europe

Mom is in Europe (June 23 – July 1) and I am alone with my dad. We are doing fine (I am fine but he is going nuts especially in the mornings). I am used to going to sleep with mom and getting up with her (I summon her to my bed when I get up) but these days my father suffices. We talk to her everyday over Skype so it’s not that bad.

I am in love again!

I have a new girlfriend. Her name is Jo-Jo (don’t know her real name, I have to ask her). Well, what can I say – it was love at first sight. I think that we are very romantic, at least I feel that way when I am with her. You can tell from the pictures.

She is about two months younger than me but she is very articulate and tall for her age (that’s not why I am attracted to her although I like “smart girls”). It’s much simpler than that – we just enjoy each other’s company. We hug, hold hands, I give her flowers and she gives me beautiful smiles. Oh, life is so good …

Our swimming pool – grand opening

Today was the first time we used our swimming pool! Yeah! The water was cold but not that bad – well it’s still May. Of course, it was cold for my dad but my mom is brave and she loves to swim. I am somewhere between two of them. I wasn’t swimming but I wasn’t completely ruling it out (like my dad). So I put my feet in the water and watched my mom swim. I told her: “you are like a dolphin!” (Tata, mama je k’o delfin!”)

Today was a nice day. We went for barbecue at Paul’s place (he is dad’s friend) in the Capitol Hill. I had a great cup cake over there. It was wild – red and blue! Look, I don’t care about politics. Yes, today is a Memorial Day but for me a cup cake is not about some hidden meanings and messages – it’s about a taste! I am a cookie monster and a cup cake is a sort of cookie for me. And as you know, C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me - and cookie, cookie, cookie is for ME!

And most importantly, today was a great day because Jo-Jo came to visit me! More about that in the next post.
