This weekend was filled with a lot of first time adventures, and no, we are not referring to me jogging the loop @ Prospect Park slower than the old guy with the large walkman.
Below is a list in order of importance:
1. First haircut - just a trim but we have the paperwork to prove her parents’ bravery..ahem…we mean, neko’s. Her fine fly away curls are now semi tame-able (once conditioned).
2. Riding in a chariot - we got one of those bike trailers and peter shlepped an extra 50 pounds up hill and down for a few loops. No pics as the bike nerd association would not approve. Neko did look cute in her new green helmet, sweat dripping down her forehead as she slumped forward and slept for most of the ride. 3. Rolly polly fish eggs - neko exhibits her love for all sea creatures by demolishing a container of fish roe. Yum! Lifestyles of the rich and famous (in the blogosphere).
4. New words include: amina (animals) - fooo (food) - orse and sus (horse in hebrew) and a new found obsession with the word pipi.
We complained when it was raining so much in June.
We complained when it was too hot too quickly in July.
And now, even I am at a loss of complaints for the oppressing heat we have witnessed here.
Only way to cool off is is be naked, drinking iced watermelon juice.
If you can’t get watermelon juice, then drink some nice pool water.
I think the secret hopes I have for neko’s future may actually come true:
She is a famous rock star/ musician/model and accessory designer and her parents retire early and smooch of her fame while wasting away the days floating in their infinity pool sipping cocktails and getting massages. We do read though. I probably still clean.
It starts early, this musical genius thing….
Oh the gift bag - filled with the secret kid crack like substance: colored sugar.
Wish neko knew to tie shoe laces or potty train herself as naturally as ripping off the wrapper and licking….
Wait.
What?
Seriously?
Man, time moves so quickly now. Seems like only yesterday we were gathering around bagels and lox for Andree’s shower, and just today we gathered for some more bagels and shmear to celebrate Elodie’s first year.
Amazing.
Incredible.
Joyous and hugely momentous.
Yeah, they managed to keep you alive this far!
Here is to a lifetime of memories together, wishing you the same happiness you bring your parenst, family and friends…Happy Birthday Elodie….
Human development has been divided into various stages.
Freud claims we begin our psychological growth with the Oral Phase: the one where kids explore the world with their mouth, or in other words, ingest everything is sight, including, but not limited to sand, dirt, rocks, bottom of shoes, carpet fibers, cat litter and even dust bunnies.
Yeah, can’t wait for the next stage to embark upon us!
Our last post was weeks ago and we apologize for delays on giving the world their taste of neko, but a few things have happened since our last blog-o-rama post:
- I lost out little digital camera - this means that we are stuck with the big not too great camera that makes me feel like a Japanese tourist in Paris.
- Peter’s parents were in town and our weekends were filled with family action (and by that we mean gathering to eat).
- Neko got busy climbing so that by the end of the day we are totally pooped from running and chasing and keeping twenty eyes on her.
- Yeah yeah, you’re saying to yourself,excuses excuses, but check these out for yourself:
