Next Cleaning Phase

Mommy has been scrounging around Craigslist.com for my toys ever since she got great deals on my train table for $20 and my Pottery Barn play kitchen for $30.  My kitchen looks something like this without all the cookware hanging from the hooks.  Pretty nice boy’s kitchen, wouldn’t you say?

Well, the next thing Mommy got off Craigslist was a Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner for me.  It was even fancier than she thought.  It had an on/off button and even made vacuum sounds.  Here I am posing with my new toy:

I love vacuuming, especially my own room and under my bed.  Sometimes I even vacuum the big carpets in the foyer.

Daddy thinks it’s crazy that Mommy buys toys from Craigslist, but to Mommy, there’s nothing that anti-bacterial wipes can’t get rid of!  After the rub down, the toys are almost as good as new.

My First Face Painting!

So a few weeks ago, Mommy’s employer, Kaiser Permanente, had a picnic at Burke Lake Park for physicians and their families.  It was the first time the event was held and it was so much fun, especially the face painting.

The face painting lady had a book of all the paintings that were available.  Mommy kept trying to convince me to get a tiger painted, but I wasn’t interested.  I wanted the shark and there was no changing my mind.  When I sat down, the lady actually told Mommy that she would not be able to draw the shark because I wouldn’t be able to sit still long enough for her to do it.  Mommy asked her to try and sure enough, I sat through the whole 5 minutes.  It didn’t take much, but Mommy gave me a mini pep talk to get me through it.

As if the shark painting wasn’t enough, Daddy waited in line for like 40 minutes to get me a balloon sculpture.  He requested a shark, but the balloon guy said it would take 20 minutes to create it, so I had to settle for a turtle.  Pretty cute, but it popped as soon as I accidentally put it on some grass.
