Most Wonderful Place In Grand Central

After french class the other day the mommies took us on a mini-adventure to Grand Central. We had no idea what to expect, but it was one of the best adventures of the year.

We saw the train show at the transit store and it did not disappoint. There were so many different trains that passed through tunnels, skyscrapers, mountains, the Brooklyn Bridge and even a mini Grand Central. I was in heaven.

I have a new love of all things train-related, so all I could say was "choo choo" and "choo choo coming." I spent my time running around the display following the trains. Mommy has never seen me more excited!

Mini Playgroup

We had to postpone the mommy cookie exchange until next week because so many of my friends were not feeling well. So instead we had a mini playgroup at our apartment. It was just baby Cole and us three rascals.

Being the rascal that I am, I decided to dump all my Big Bird crackers on the ground because it was easier than reaching into the box. Mommy owes Jaye a big thanks for vacuuming up the big mess.

Big Day Boo Boo

As many of you know, I am in the midst of applying for nursery school for next year. The other day I had a playdate, but knocked my eye on a bucket and had to go looking like a baby thug. Mommy was extremely nervous about how rough I looked.

Fortunately, we put together a very sharp outfit and I could not have looked more handsome given my condition.

I took the knock really well and had full use of my eye. Here I am showing off my famous winking abilities with a bum eye.

Decorating The Tree

Over the weekend we listened to Christmas music and decorated our tree. Its the first tree we've ever had, so we were all very excited. Here I am helping Daddy put the lights on.

After I helped Daddy with the lights, I worked with Mommy on arranging the ornaments. She made sure to put the fragile ones at the top. While I made sure to put the fun ones at the bottom where I can play with them.

We are all so proud of our beautiful tree, it was great teamwork!

Flashback Sundays

Look at what a chunk-ster I used to be! Before we got the highchair Mommy would feed me in the bouncy seat.

Here is a snap of the first time Mommy hosted playgroup at our house. We used to just sit and play and then take a nap while the mommies had fun. Now we get into a sorts of trouble and there is no down time for the mommies.

We all used to go for lunch after Little Maestros class on Fridays. Sometimes I could wait until I got home, or at least in my stroller for my nap, but it looks like this day the highchair made a good substitute.

Brunch At Home

Michael and Rachel came over for a bagel brunch today and I had so much fun catching up with my number one fan. Michael was happy to come over because he loves Christmas trees and Daddy said he could hang an ornament up. Here he is putting up the mouse, he could barely contain his excitement.

After brunch, I really bonded with Michael. We had a good time reading about good New York City walks with kids and looking at all the funny pictures.

We had so much fun together that my number one fan felt a little left out...

But I still love her. Here we are having a bye bye hug before I take my nap.

Gold Star

When Daddy does nice things for Mommy she likes to tell him that he deserves a gold star or a yummy cookie. So the other evening, it was our turn and we gave her a gold star for our Christmas tree. Here I am admiring how sparkly it is.

I was so impressed by the sparkles that all I could say was ooohhhh and aaahhhh. I showed Daddy what a beautiful star it was and was very excited when he told me that I could put it on the tree.

Daddy and I make such a great team, he does all the heavy lifting and I do all the work that requires little hands. Here we are getting the star on the tree on our first try. I can't wait to decorate the tree this weekend!
