I can’t remember why I held out on these things. But they are delicious! Broccoli is delicious! Between broccoli, peanut butter and jelly, chicken, and vienna sausages my pallet has expanded more in the last month, than in my first three years of solid food. Mommy and Daddy are thrilled!
Hi everyone! Well, this whole week at school we have been talking about St. Patrick’s Day - that’s a day when everyone wears green, and there are plants called shamrocks that grow in the grass, and if you see a Leprechaun named Lucky and can catch him, then he will give you his pot of gold! Leprechauns have pointy ears, and we got to make our own leprechaun headbands, and I wore mine proudly all day today! I can sing songs about leprechauns, and we even made a green snack at cooking today! Cool, huh? Mommy and Daddy say that even though my last name, O’Steen, isn’t really Irish, that we can celebrate St. Patrick’s Day anyway. So hopefully we will find a leprechaun and he will lead us to his pot of gold coins! (Mmmm…especially if they are CHOCOLATE gold coins!)
On a side note - I have decided that I am going to start trying bites of new foods, because my mom and dad and Sesame Street and my teacher all told me that’s a good thing to do. SO - prepare to be amazed, those who know me and my eating habits well - I have now eaten CHICKEN! And PEANUT BUTTER! And EGGS! And LITTLE SMOKIES! I know, I know - fruit and veggies are still the tastiest things in the world (oh, and pancakes), but hey I figured it would be a good idea to widen my horizons. And it’s been fun! Yum!
Sutter now lives in my room! (I guess it’s ‘our’ room). And even though he cries at night sometimes, it’s been lots of fun - I really like being a big brother. I take very good care of him, and I can make him laugh like no one else. Siblings are cool - I’m pretty happy that my mom and dad got one for me!
Have a good weekend everyone!
Boy I sure hope daddy’s trust in Wikipedia got that title right! Congratulations and be prosperous! I went to the Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco last night, and I got to see lions and dragons and lots of pretty cultrural icons. Plus I saw a lot of pigs! It was live! It was loud! It was fun! Here are a couple of photos of me.
Hi everyone! Last night I was all snug and cozy in my bed, when all of sudden I woke up because our house was shaking! My duck toy fell off my shelf, and I got kinda scared. Mommy came upstairs and told me I could bring my pillow down and lay on the couch with her and Sutter and go to sleep there with them. She seemed a little rattled too - she told me that the house shakes when we have something called an earthquake. She said it’s ok to be startled, but that it was over now and it was safe. Daddy was in Palo Alto for a meeting that night, so I don’t know if he felt the house shake or not. But it sure got my attention! Mommy called Cappy, and he said they felt it at their house too. Then on the tv, it said the earthquake happened pretty much right by our house - that’s why my duck fell off the shelf! When Daddy came home, he carried me upstairs to bed and I went right to sleep. We didn’t feel any more shakes that night, and I’m glad! (I think Mommy is too).
