More Random Updates

So, at least it hasn't been as long as last time since my mommy blogged for me!

Let's see...

Here are Aiden and I dancing to some Israeli music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em5iMxK98kc

In April my best friend Ethan had a birthday party at Romp n' Roll. Daddy and mommy and Aiden came with me. We had a really great time. The birthday cake was made to be completely allergen free so it was safe for all of us to be there.

And look what a cutie pie this little brother of mine is


Aiden and I have mostly become really good buddies. He has learned how to play a bit better (rather than destroy my towers and throw stuff) and I guess I have become a bit more patient. On most days we actually have lots of fun together and we do great team work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8yhBey0Wj0


Sometimes, we just have some quiet time when we cuddle on the couch and watch some TV and we get annoyed when mommy tries to take pictures of us




Recently, Aiden has been going through an annoying phase of not wanting to sit on his booster chair for meals. Instead, he prefers to climb onto the table



I tell ya, the stuff little brothers get away with now days http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmNfrRhofRU. I was never allowed to climb on the table and eat like that!


This past Friday my first year of preschool ended. We had a wonderful graduation party.

Us at the end of the party


Here are the videos from my class's performance. Aiden didn't want to be left out so he just marched up and joined us! He sure seems ready to start preschool (it's a shame they can't take him until he turns 2!)

Yesterday my daddy had to go to the UK for a very important board meeting. So grandpa and Nima came to stay with us and help out my mommy. Tomorrow they have to leave and daddy doesn't get back till Friday. We all miss him A LOT!

So my summer vacation has started. We bought a swing/slide play set and had it installed in our backyard. Mommy has lots of fun things planned for us to do this summer. I am looking forward to a summer of bonding time with my little brother and just fun times in general in the pool and the parks and all that good summer stuff!

Until next time...

Playing Catch Up...

So it's been about 6 months. A lot has happened in the last 5 months. Since so much has happened, I can't include everything, but I will tell you about the major evetns.


The first of which was my second 3rd-birthday party that took place on my actual 3rd birthday (which is my mommy's preferred time of celebrating a birthday). It was on Saturday, November 21, 2009 (man, we're already into April 2010...). The guests were my sitter Lindsay and her wonderful boyfriend Will. Then there were my other two sitters, Tonia & Niki and their mommy. And of course my mommy, daddy, and my little bro Aiden. Lindsay made me a super yummy cake, I received lots of wonderful presents and most importantly, I got lots of love and attention and had a blast

And then we went to stay with my aunt Debbi (daddy's sister) and uncle Kevin (her husband) and my cousin Colin for Thanksgiving. Grandma Phyllis was there and so were Grandpa Phil and Nima Sandy. Thanksgiving was nice enough but the highlight was my third, 3rd birthday party for me. Aunt Debbi went all out to make me a very special party. Grandma Phyllis slaved for hours to make the a Toby birthday cake (Toby is the number 7 Tram engine in the Thomas series). She made it with all the substitue ingredients so that I don't get an allergic reactions. Also, since my mommy won't let us have stuff with food colorings, she squeezed cranberries to make the red on my cake. She really went all out and it was such a perfect and yummy cake. Of course I got lots more presents...

In my new wagon...



And then winter struck us... mommy and daddy moved to Richmond, VA around 5 years ago. Of course I and Aiden were'nt around yet. Winters here in Richmond have always been pretty mild. But not this one.
And a couple of videos of how baby Aiden learned how to walk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--i8FqgkjRs and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RPqucZrOTw

And then came Hanukkah...

Ha, and then came A LOT more snow...

And this is our back yard...


And every once in a while, mommy and daddy will get a sitter and go out.
And after being stuck at home because of the snow for 3 days, we were finally able to get out on the road and go to an inflatable place and have some fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-Y3x30zn_4 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFm_bVW5ufE

And in January (the 17th to be exact), my baby brother turned 1. We all couldn't believe that his first year has gone by so quickly. It has been quite a year. He has added so much joy to our lives (even though he sometimes really annoys me). We are so happy to have him in our lives, and we are never giving him up

And of course I had to be Thomas for Purim

And then came Pesach (Passover). We joined our wonderful friends the Rifes and dined and read the Hagadah at their home. We are so fortunate to have made such wonderful friend here in Richmond.
