O-Ba-Ma



So, as many of you know, my vocabulary has really started taking off lately, and now that I've really got a good handle on the sounds farm animals make, I've decided it's time to begin my foray into the political arena. Considering everything that's happening right now, I can't think of a better time. My schedule for the week is as follows:


Today: Learn how to say "Obama"

Monday: Figure out how a bill becomes a law

Tuesday: Watch history as Barack H. Obama (I call him Barry) is sworn in

Wednesday: Pick out a power suit / meet with advisers

Thursday: Announce my campaign for the Presidency in 2049

Friday: Casual Friday - hang out with dad



In all seriousness, I spent much of my weekend with mommy and daddy watching Inauguration related events, and I'm really thrown back by the grandeur of it all. Yesterday, the Obama's left Philly in the morning on a choo-choo, picked up the Biden's in Delaware, and headed for their new home's in D.C. Today, HBO hosted a celebration at the Lincoln Memorial that saw the likes of Tom Hanks, Uncle Tiger (Woods), Denzel Washington, U2, Stevie Wonder, Usher, Sheryl Crow, Garth Brooks, Mary J. Blige, and MANY others wish Mr. Obama well - truly an amazing sight.

I need daylight!

Of course, I didn't spend my full week at home watching TV. Mommy stayed home with me on Monday, and we got to make breakfast together, play toys, and even go visit daddy at work for his birthday. I got to see Mimi and Papa one night for dinner, daddy took me to Pro Golf TWICE this week, and he stayed home on Friday. We drove down to Everett to see grandpa for a few hours, and then rushed home to clean up our mess before mommy got home from work!

Sometimes I wear hats

Is this "hat head"?
So, apparently I've become pretty independent over the last few weeks, or that's what mommy and daddy keep saying anyways. Idk - sometimes I just like some time to play by myself, and sometimes I just want to throw everything from a drawer on the floor without someone telling me no-no.

I'm gonna hide

On Saturday, our big outting consisted of a trip to Costco, and a wagon ride around the neighborhood. We really wanted to see Mimi and Papa, and my cousins who I haven't seen for a bit, but Emma and Eden and their mommy and daddy were really sick so we decided to stay home and try to stay healthy. I hope they feel better soon! Instead, we ventured to the almighty Costco, which frankly is just a tease. I found all kinds of cool stuff that I wanted, but mommy and daddy kept saying no, cause it was more than the (very generous) giftcard I got for Christmas from Grandma Great in Arizona. I did my darndest to keep running back to the Escalade no matter where we went in the store, but I kept getting picked off! Dang!


Let's put some 24"s on this thing. These 5"s just won't do!


Wagon Wagon Wagon
Hmm - I think this would fit in my room - right mom?
Well, it's getting late, and I've got a bit of a tummy ache, so I'm gonna snag a bath and get to bed. In all seriousness, I encourage everyone to reflect on the inauguration events of this week - I will definitely be staying home Tuesday morning to witness it so that someday I can look back and say "I was watching when....". Have a good week!
