I'm ready for a walk outside

Lucky's Turn

It was Lucky's turn to destroy one of Derek's toys. It all started today when I noticed Derek chewing on something. It turned out to be a little hand. A hand? Oh yes a hand... to one of Derek's little people. Lucky stole it and chewed off the hand and dropped it on the floor which Derek then found.. and was chewing on. Nasty. What will happen next?

Help I am stuck!

I heard a thud and a cry. I found Derek trapped. He had crawled under the table and got stuck in a chair at the other end. He wasn't able to get his leg out or back up. I know I am mean, but I had to take a picture before I got him out. He wasn't hurt, he was just stuck. Derek loves to crawl into small places but still has trouble getting out. He is now happy and trying to help me type!

Mommy's little helper?

Derek is trying very hard to be my little helper. Of course it makes more work but more fun. A few of his favorites:

helping me unload the dishwasher... by climbing in it. He wants to sit on the door as I unload.


recycling.. by eating the paper

Tunnel time

Derek loves his tunnel. He loves to climb in it, roll in it, and sit just inside it and play. He tries to get Lucky to play in the tunnel but she doesn't like to go in the tunnel.

Derek is in love with Lucky. He is constantly trying to get her to play with him. She sometimes indulges him. Sometimes she hides on the couch. Now if only Derek can learn to throw the toy for Lucky...

Congrats Daddy

I have the bestest Daddy. He loves me so much. He is great at building towers for me to destroy, fun to climb on and over, great to snuggle with, and makes me laugh lots. He also works very hard for us. He goes to work so our family has food, a nice house, and toys. I am very proud of Daddy. He just received a big promotion at work which was announced on Friday.
