Round and Round

This week Mom and Dad took me to the carousel. I really love it, especially when I can ride the bunny rabbit. Notice how nice and clear this picture is because it is BEFORE the carousel was in motion.

Once we started going, Mom got more than a few shots like this one:

She did manage to get one or two of me actually in motion. Pretty cute, huh?

You might notice that Dad lacks the certain theatrical flair that I bring to carousel riding. I'm going to work with him on that.

See? Lesson one and he's already lightyears ahead of where he was!

Picture Day

Last week I had my very first ever school pictures. As you know, this is an important milestone in every child's life. It's like first steps, first words, and first school pictures.

Mom decided to straighten my hair for the occasion. I was a little wary about the whole process. I mean, she would pick up a piece of my hair and when she put it back down it was super warm. It just didn't seem natural.

But then I looked in the mirror and I was all about it! I was so excited that I asked Mom to take a bunch of pictures of me and then I kept jumping up and down when she would try.

Those school picture people wouldn't let me hold Mickey for the pictures. The nerve. So I just had Mom take some instead. I'm always thinkin'.

I find it silly that with all these pictures, Mom and Dad STILL make the school take some of me too!

Poolside

A couple of weekends ago we had some unseasonably warm weather, and I took advantage by going to hang out at Grandpa's pool. And there was the added bonus of getting to show off my awesome new Ariel bathing suit.

I was a little wary at first, because it's been awhile since I've gone swimming. Dad had to promise to take me to Disneyland before I'd let him take me in. I drive a very hard bargain.

But once I was in, I loved it!

Now people, I feel as if I must tell you how important it is to NEVER run around the pool. Walking only. I know this must be really important because Mom and Dad told me about a bazillion times.

After a long swim I prefer to lounge poolside and catch some rays. And make Mom bring me an apple juice with a little umbrella in it.

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. Mine was awesome. First, the Easter Bunny came to my house and brought me a basket full of goodies. I got this great hamster that makes little squeaky noises and runs all over the floor. I think the dog likes it even more than I do.

And then the Easter Bunny went to Grammy's house, too! I just wanted to see what was in my basket, but everyone kept making me stop to take pictures. I was trying to be gracious, but I thought if I just climbed on the table a little, maybe they would put their cameras down.

I'm going to grow a garden with Grammy! Grammy got me these way cute gardening gloves and apron so that I stay clean, but little does she know that these are no match for my getting dirty skills.

I also had an Easter egg hunt outside. I went ahead and brought the Easter Bunny with me in my bucket so that he could whisper some hints to me, since he's the one who hid them and everything. I'm smart like that.

Once I found all the eggs, I had to check out what was inside them.

Chocolate?! Easter is trying to give Halloween a run for it's money!

Hey, Hey Everybody!

This week we took a quick day trip to my favorite place, Disneyland. Here I am with Dad waiting for my favorite ride of the day, the parking shuttle. This ride is so great I'm surprised they don't charge extra for it.

We decided to pass on the obligatory picture in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle this trip in favor of the Matterhorn picture. I didn't want to get in a rut with my photo opportunities. Though let's just be honest, how can any picture that has me in it be in a rut?

Here I am on the ONLY other ride I went on besides the parking shuttle, Small World. It's my favorite ride ever. We rode it five hundred just a few times.

Now people. We discovered something new this trip that totally blew my mind. They have a Playhouse Disney show with all my favorite shows like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Handy Manny! It was pretty much the best thing I've ever seen in my long, long life. I kept asking to go on stage with the characters but Mom and Dad wouldn't let me. They are such fuddy duddies.

And I of course had to make sure I saw my BFF Goofy. Have I mentioned that I really love Disneyland? I'm so happy there you would think it was the happiest place in California. Or maybe ON EARTH. I should be their advertising director. Do you think I would get free tickets?!
