Flashback Sundays

Last year around this time I was celebrating Easter for the first time. I went to an Easter party at T-Man's house where we all pretended to be baby bunnies in our birthday suits.

Then I traveled back to the midwest to celebrate Greek Easter with Pappou and Yiayia. While I was in town I visited with lots of people....starting with Great-Grandma.

and then with Theo Evans and Thea Dori to meet my cousins Christopher, Evie and Zoe.

On Sunday we went to my cousin Ari's house for an Easter celebration, Greek style. Here I am trying the crack Thea Kasiani's egg.

Here I am with Thea Vivian and Ari last year.

Bon Appetit

A couple weeks ago, Big T and I thought it would be nice to cook dinner for the Mommies to show our appreciation. Here I am pulling out a pretend souffle of the toaster oven for them, while Big T looks on hoping that it came out.

Here is Big T having a lot of fun frying something delicious up in the pan. We both had so much fun pretending and I think the mommies enjoyed all our effort.

Bus Driver

Over the weekend I ventured back to Brooklyn to visit the Transit Museum again. I had so much fun driving the buses and exploring the old subway cars.

My Stuff, My Bag

Lately Mommy's bag has looked more like a mini toy bin because of all the toys that I like to bring with me everywhere I go. So today, I had to carry my own toys when we left the apartment. I went along with the idea because I didn't really think she would make me carry all my faves around all by myself.

I wasn't thrilled with this idea at all, I mean, its a lot heavier for me than it is for her. In case you wondered, I carried a fire engine, stegosaurus, airplane, giraffe, coloring book, taxi and train all on my back.

This is the moment I realized that she was serious. I carried it the whole way uptown and the whole way home and I was not excited about it.

Bubble King

I have been a bubble fanatic ever since I took my first class. Mommy's not sure when or how it happened, but somehow I learned how to blow bubbles. Jaye and Sophie had a bubble party for all of us at the playground last week and I was in heaven.

Everyone was pretty shocked by all the bubbles I was blowing and that I wasn't putting them in my mouth. One, two, three, blow....

....bubbles!!!!

I was so proud of myself and did not want to stop. When Mommy said all done, I spilled all the bubble juice on the ground and was extremely upset. Thanks Jaye and Sophie for such a fun time!

Happy Belated Birthday Theo

Happy belated birthday Theo Johnny! I wish I could have come with Mommy and Daddy to celebrate. Daddy especially had a great time and then an even better time waking up with me a couple hours later.

Eastside Girlfriend

Kiki came over for a visit with her mommy last week and I was so excited to meet her. She brought this great Abby purse that we all wanted to carry around. I had so much fun teaching her what a digger was, how to play with the train tracks and a lot of other boy things. I must say, Big T was a really good wing man. Thanks for coming Kiran and Jin, can't wait to play again!

West Side Trikes

When the weather is good, my friends and I like to trike around the neighborhood instead of strolling. All the passerbyers get a kick out of it. Here we are taking a break after a long ride to have our daily ice cream cones.

High Line Afternoon

This weekend I spent as much time as I could enjoying the wonderful spring weather. I went back to the High Line for a little more downtown fun.

I decided to skip my nap that afternoon because of how excited I was to be downtown. When we got to the High Line, Big T woke up, so I had someone to goof around with. We had so much fun pushing our new fire trucks down this bench while we waited for Enzo to wake up....

Then we had fun walking up and down the ramp on the bench, while Enzo kept sleeping....

Then we played by the window and watched all the traffic. By this time, Baby Buca (Luca) was up, but Enzo was still sleeping!

Finally Guillaume decided why wait around for Enzo when I can join him! Mommy wished Martica would have sprinkled some fairy dust on me too because Enzo slept nearly two hours and I slept not even close to five minutes.

Look Out Joshua Bell

I am currently obsessed with the violin. After music class I finally got to play my own. Mommy tried to help me get into position.....

but as most people know, "Narinn do it" is my favorite thing to say right now, so she quickly had to step aside.

Here I am almost getting it. I talk about the violin everyday and want to visit Spiff everyday to play it. Suzuki here I come!

Scholastic Birthday

On Saturday I went to Soho for a double birthday party for Gemma and Leo at the Scholastic Store. I love to read the "How Do Dinosaurs..." books they publish, so this was quite a treat for me. We heard a story and did an art project where I made a puppet with Daddy.

After the puppets I was very excited for cake and "happy to you," but I had to eat lunch first....

Then came my favorite parts, the singing and the delicious cupcakes!

Happy Birthday Leo and an early Happy Birthday to you Gemma! Thanks for inviting me to such a great party.

Cabo, Cabo, Cabo

Here are some pics from Mommy's trip to Cabo....Mommy keeps forgetting to snap pics, so we are a little low on pictures to post!

Blocks

The other day, I suddenly had the urge to build with my blocks and look at the tower I made. I was very focused, cool and calm. Mommy said I haven't been that way since I was six months old. I was very proud of myself for making it so high!

Brooklyn Flowers

On Sunday I went out to Brooklyn to spend time with Emma and Boyce at the Botanical Gardens. All the trees in the Japanese Garden were in bloom and it was so pretty.

It was a beautiful day to be outside in the gardens, but all that I had on my mind were the fish. Mommy later found out that Daddy asked me if I wanted to jump in and I said yes.

In the bonsai room I saw a friend putting rocks into this square that was filled with water, so I spent ten minutes filling it up after she left. Hopefully it was okay to do it, unlike when I touched one of the trees which had a "Please do not touch" sign next to it.

Mommy was so impressed when she asked me to stand next to the tree to take a picture and I did! Thank you Emma and Boyce for a wonderful afternoon and the very yummy ice cream.

Daddy Daycare, The Movie

Mommy thought everyone would enjoy seeing this movie Daddy took of T-Man and I when he had us on his own. No wonder he took a nap when we did!

Suckie Ban

Daddy decided that it was time for me to say goodbye to my trusty friends Suckie and More Suckie. We have been attached to each other from almost the very start. Since I was becoming a Big Boy, Mommy and Daddy took me to FAO Schwartz to pick out a big boy present.

After a lot of searching, I thought this big flat-bed truck with digger would be perfect. I had my first nap sans pacifier when we got back. It was rough on everyone involved, but I managed to sleep when my parents let me nap in the big bed.

The first thing I said when I woke up was, "Big Boy truck," so Daddy helped me open it right away. After my ordeal, I was quite impatient and tried to pull it out myself.

Mommy and Daddy are so proud of me and cannot believe how well I am taking it. I went to bed very easily that first night, although I am fighting with Mommy over naps. I am a Big Boy now!

Easter Bunny

This morning the Easter Bunny left Daddy and I baskets full of little treats. I was so excited to play with all my new things! Everything was a hit, even the chocolate covered peeps from Jacques Torres.

Earlier in the week I dyed Easter eggs for the first time and made a huge mess....but I had a great time doing it!

Here I am with Allie opening up all the eggs we found on our egg hunt. I had fun dumping all the treats out into the basket.

Today is a gorgeous day in the city and we are going to go visit Emma and Boyce for some fun in Brooklyn! Happy Easter everyone!

Daddy Daycare

Yesterday T-Man came over for Daddy Daycare while Mommy and Sassy went to Long Island to take care of business.

Most people were more worried about Daddy than us because we have been pretty tough lately. You'll be glad to know that he survived, but was almost out of gas by the time the mommies came home.

Thank our lucky stars that Pete found the double Maclaren stroller so we could all enjoy the beautiful day outside. Thanks for such a fun day Daddy!
