Los Angeles Sanitation had an open house yesterday and JBM got all his trash compacting wishes satisfied. He also got to "drive" a forklift and sidewalk sweeper. He also got a mini recycling bin which hasn't left his hand.
Good times were had by all. Highly recommended.
For those of you keeping track at home, here's another milestone to check off. Jonah has made the leap (and we do mean leap) from crib to twin bid (a.k.a. Big Boy Bed). So far, so good *cough cough*.
And when we say leap, we do mean leap. Jonah got in his idea to do backwards leaps using his crib headboard whilst holding onto the side rails. Sometimes, he even managed the full flip, much to his delight. Good times, good times. Only aged Mommy and Daddy an additional 10 years.
Thus, we decided to upgrade and what you see above is our little Pride and Joy surrounded by his current favorite brands: Thomas the Tank Engine and WALL-E (Animusic thankfully doesn't make any bedroom related items). Thanks to The Woodsworth Trio for the Thomas bed tent thingamabob!
We'll leave it to your imaginations as to why the guard rail is there (You don't see the bruise on his forehead, do you?).
Just a recent photo to show how long and lean JBM is getting. Is it me or does he look 6 years old in this photo?
People, I can't stress this enough, DO NOT PUT electric eels in the bathtub with your toddler.
Finally, he's into basketball. Now I can really put the pressure on him.
It seems like only yesterday, our wee bairn was born. And now, lo and behold, it’s 3 years later and he’s turning into quite the little boy. We celebrated by heading down to San Diego for a trip to SeaWorld and the San Diego Model Railroad Museum. Much fun was had and many gaskets were blown. JBM set a land speed record for running from one train to another we think. Needless to say, we are so proud.
Then it was back home for our annual doctor’s visit. Update your scorecards, as JBM now weighs in at 38 pounds and heights in at 38 inches. He’s a perfect square, which makes no sense for someone born on 3.14.
Thanks to everyone who sent cards and presents. We are overwhelmed with your kindness.
