We created a monster - part 356

What started as an innocent test turned into an addiction. Now, David is hooked on a YouTube video of Happy Feet. His favorite word inside the house is now "penga" ("Penguin") and Mom's computer is now the official Happy Feet device of the household. In the meantime, dad is frantically trying to find ways to prevent David from discovering he can watch videos on his computer too. A conjunction of ultra-sophiscated software and barbed wire is under consideration.

To show you how bad it is, here's a recent conversation between Mom and David, the former trying to corrupt the latter out of her computer with food:

Mom: pizza?

David: penga?

Mom: pizza?

David: penga?

(and so on and so forth)

The only break we got was when mom tried to take a picture of dad & son watching the said video - David waived his arms towards the camera saying "camwa!". So now Mom - who never wanted her son to get too close to computer and electronics until he was 10 or so - is seriously considering offering David a camera to get her computer back.

David really doesn't know what's coming...

A day at the zoo

David went the other day to the zoo, a place full of strange kitties

First shots taken by David

Jumping on the opportunity when he saw one (dad was at work and mom was busy working from home), David was able to reach dad's camera.

We now know for sure: he does know what is a camera and what it's used for.

Below are some of his shots he took (I removed the majority which are blurred). You can see he took them near dad's computer.

If he ever gets a hold of Steven's or Christopher's phone or cell, they are so screwed!

Newport, RI

This weekend we went to Newport RI. Among other things was to go to the beach. There, David had some fun jumping on the sand, playing with water and going where we didn't want him to go. He's still not too sure about the big, meany waves though.

After all these efforts he took a well-deserved nap (see pictures 3 and 4).

The day after we walked along the cliff walk by the see (about a mile each way). There, David learnt that he could do this walk - and in fact he could do pretty much anything - if he has the right mindset, proper nutrition and a parent pushing his stroller.

Moving to big boy bed

Yes, David is transitioning to a big boy bed. And it has nothing to do with the face that we will need the crib in a couple of months. No, sir!

If the shoe fits...

That day, David decided to play the Cinderella game with mommy. After a few gut-wrenching moments (see picture 3) David decided that, yes, mommy was who she claimed she was, and that he should indeed to listen to what she says to better ignore it!
