Out with Dad (part 3)

Before riding the bus home we stopped for a latte for Dad and a steamed milk for Simon though the toy truck was better than a snack.

Out with Dad (part 2)

We rode the bus to Pike Place and walked around the market. There are lots of people to watch!

Big day out with Dad (part 1)

Simon and Dad went out on Saturday by ourselves. Simon got his first bus ride which was super cool.

Taco Night

Tacos are yummy, even if you only eat the refried beans and avocado. These are still two of Simon's favorite things and he still makes a giant mess.

Talking up a storm

Now if only we could understand him...

We have a new neighbor

So to speak.

There's a kitty who regularly visits us on the back deck, eating bugs around the hot tub, chasing birds in the trees, crying at the back door and in general, willing the smallest human in the house to open the door and, "LET ME IN."


Simon LOVES him, or her, I'm not sure which it is. I'm not even sure if it's a stray. This cat seems too well groomed to be a stray, but he/she could have been abandoned, or is lost. The cat started showing up about a month ago, generally out back, hunting for bugs and birds (or tuna, if the female human in the house caves in). Once, I found him crying at the front porch windows, from the settee.

He certainly knows how to work it. Here he is being aloof, pretending to hunt for birds, where Simon can see him...

Farms are fun

Simon got an 80's era Fisher Price farm the other day and he's completely in love with it.  He feeds the cow and horse, and puts the rooster into the top of the barn, along with whatever else he can get to fit... it's quite amusing.
