White Xmas?

Tuesday, December 21st, 2004

Papa says that the weather gods are planning a winter storm that may dump between 6 to 10 inches of snow tomorrow! Wow, that is going to be a lot of snow! I hope they set their sights right on Bloomington.
I got into the mood of things by donning a winter outfit. My [...]

Haircut

Tuesday, December 21st, 2004

I forgot to tell you about the haircut that papa gave me on Monday. I don’t think that I will forget that traumatic experience soon!
After seven months of hair growth, I was beginning to sprout “wings” over my ears and started nurturing “lamb chops” down my cheeks. So when mama stepped out for a few [...]

Salsa

It snowed again today… enough to cover the ground! It looked so pretty. Now I know why mama and papa like the snow so much.
But it was very cold. Papa said that it went down to -20 deg C with wind chill. I don’t know what that means but I know how it feels. Despite [...]

New game

Sunday, December 19th, 2004

A while ago my folks started playing with me by putting a piece of cloth over my head. I would pull it off and we would have a good laugh. I thought I would never tire of that game until now.
Now my folks cover themselves with a cloth or blanket! Then I snatch it off. [...]

Yogurt?

Saturday, December 18th, 2004

Today Uncle Ugur took us out for lunch at King Gyros. The adults had a good time chomping and slurping away. I had a good time looking around and slucking up cold water.
Papa told me that Uncle Ugur is from Turkey. Funny… he looked human to me! I hope he does not get into trouble [...]

Here is a picture that papa took of mama and me during the snow shower.
It was a cold day but I had a warm smile. Hee-hee!

Hey babe!

Today the moms decided to go to the Scholars Inn Bakehouse instead of someone’s home for playgroup. The bakehouse was just a short walk from where we stay so mama and I took a cold, brisk walk there.
While we were there I got to taste a little bit of mama’s hot chocolate and lemon [...]

Snow fall!

Tuesday, December 14th, 2004

Woo-hoo, I experienced my first snow fall today!
At first I thought that papa was having a really bad case of dandruff. But even papa cannot produce that many white flakes.
It was cold outside and the wind made it even colder. But I was nice and warm in my snow suit. So I giggled and squealed [...]

Linguist?

Monday, December 13th, 2004

I decided that it was time to start babbling again. No, not the “ma-ma!” said a while ago, but attempts at real words.
Mama says that I sound like I am speaking drunken Vietnamese. Papa says that other times I sound like I am speaking Cantonese while on Novocaine. It’s all part of my plan to [...]

Finer things

Sunday, December 12th, 2004

Like most babies, I like the finer things in life.
You can give me a teddy bear, nice clothes, a Boppy, various toys, etc. But I will first play with the labels attached to those items and the packaging they come in.
The labels tell me which part of the world the goodies come from and [...]
