Gone Wild!!

As of late, Mommy would say that this title describes me to a tee, but I'm not referring to my recent behaviour. I'm talkin' about the trip I took with Mommy, Daddy, and Pop-Pop to the ZOO! WOW; what a place! I felt right at home. I could run free, throw my food, and scream at the top of my lungs and nobody would even notice - BUT, I didn't of course, because I have complete self-control. You see, that's what separates me from my primate brothers.

Anyway, I digress. You probably want to know all about my day. Well, I rode a carousal, visited the gorillas, elephants, tigers, boas, zebras and giraffes - amongst many other animals. I roared with the lions, chased a few peacocks, became one with a sea-otter, and galloped with the gazelles. I ran my way through much of the zoo, and if I wasn't running about while holding Mommy and Pop-Pop's hands, then I was either riding Pop-Pop's shoulders or swinging with him through the trees.

Oh, and get this, I missed my first camel ride by about a half hour, BUT when I got home, I discovered a rocking horse in my backyard. YES, that's right; my own rocking horse! Pop-Pop brought it for me, and it more than made up for missing out on my first camel experience.

Ah, what a fun-filled day!

She Blinded Me With Sneezes (at the Science Centre)

Yesterday Mommy, Daddy, Mom-Mom and I went to the Science Centre and delighted in many of the distractions they have to offer. I danced on this magical coy fish pond on the floor, and pulled out some wicked moves to a classical violin piece. Many people commented on my rhythm. I even had a few people take photos of me. Oh, how I LOVE the spotlight!

Throughout the day, I enjoyed playing the steel drums, making huge bubbles, playing in the water play area, and taking a walk through the "rainforest." I was a little scared of the caves. Mom-Mom attempted to bring me in and I said "Noooo!" Later on, Mommy took me through a different cave twice, and I survived (unfortunately, when we got out Mommy realized I had been walking around with a "bat in the cave!" (if you know what I'm sayin'! If you don't, you need to get hip to the analogies. That means I had a little booger in my nostril). ) How embarrassing!!! After suffering from humiliation, Mommy distracted me by taking me to this flat wooden woman who very rudely sneezed in my face! I was blinded by the air that spewed from her mouth. It was so off-putting. I couldn't believe her lack of manners! Anyway, every time Mommy opened her flat wooden mouth, she would say "ah-choo!" and then a burst of her sneeze would fly in my face. I looked at her disgusted, and tried to get away, but Mommy insisted she sneeze in my face a few times so Mom-Mom and Daddy could get a laugh at my expense. Thankfully, I didn't walk away with a cold. I did walk away with a new word though "ah-choo!"

N-O, N-O, N-O Spells "No, No, No"

Mommy insisted I create this post because she was so entertained by my recent behaviour.

It all started at the grocery store: I picked up an item from the shopping cart and decided that I would work on destroying it before Mommy and Daddy got a chance to pay for it. Daddy caught me in action and said "No, No, No" and swayed his index finger back and forth. I delighted in Daddy's actions and decided to imitate him. I swayed my index finger and repeated "No, No, No." If you're not entertained, then you had to be there. It was KILLER!

Something else Mommy gets a kick out of is when I sit in my pool and recline on my beach balls. Ah, it's soooo relaxing! Again, if you're not entertained by this stunt, then you have to witness it in person. KILLER!

Happy Canada Day!

To celebrate our country's 143rd birthday, I decided to go out with Daddy and get a tattoo of a maple leaf on my chest. After said stenciling, the family went to watch the East York Canada Day parade. I did my part by enthusiastically waving our country's flag (one flag in each hand). We then took a bike ride to the park - TWICE! The first time, we ran into all sorts of familiar faces, and the second time I rode on my first Merry-Go-Round (twice)! I also rode on a train. I ended my day by taking a nice stroll to the ice-cream shop with Mommy, Daddy, and Grandpa where I delighted in some of Mommy's chocolate ice-cream cone! What a fantastic day!!
