Lice

My daycare identified two cases of head lice in my classroom today.  Eww...gross!  Mama and dada are really hoping that it doesn't spread to me.  If I have it, I can't go to daycare - and they can't go to work.  

As a precaution, my teachers disinfected the room with bleach, washed all the linens and removed the dress-up clothes and other soft items from the classroom. Dada grabbed my spare clothes and blanket so we can wash it.  And starting tomorrow I have to do a "head check" so I can be cleared to go to my classroom in the morning.  The head check will be in effect until July 15.

Mama's grossed out and feels like there're things crawling around on skin.  Dada thinks it sucks because he doesn't have time to deal with these darn bugs.  Ummm...hello, he should think it sucks because if I have lice, it'll be uncomfortable for me!

Mason is 5 months old!

Happy 5 months to Mason!

What he likes:

• Kicking: he's always kicking his legs. He's really squirmy, which makes it hard to hold him sometimes. Grandpa thinks he'll be a good swimmer because he kicks so much now.
• Rolling over: he's getting a lot better at rolling from his tummy to his back. Sometimes he can go full circle: tummy-to-back-to-tummy again. 
• Holding his bottle: guess he likes to help too because he usually tries to grab his bottle when he's being fed. Sometimes he pulls the bottle out and tries to put it back in his mouth.
• Reaching/grabbing for things: he especially likes things that make noises
• Funny noises: he breaks into a smile when mama (or anyone) makes a funny noise
• Raspberries: he always laughs when mama gives him raspberries on his tummy or feet
• Grabbing his toes while he's lying on his back (also known as happy baby yoga pose)
• Getting naked

What he doesn't like:

• Napping at daycare

Happy Birthday Mama!

Mama's three!  Okay, she's not really three, but that's the number of candles we put in her cakes. I got to pick out her cakes, so I chose: a chocolate cupcake, mini-fruit tart and a mini-carrot cake. 

To celebrate her birthday, mama went on a bike ride with auntie Michelle, planted vegetables in her new planter box and went for a bike ride with me and dada around our neighborhood.  We also went to lunch and dinner with grandma and grandpa.  Po-po's on a cruise of the British Isles, so she couldn't join us. 

When it was time to sing Happy Birthday and eat cake, grandma asked, "Who's going to blow out the candles?" I replied, "Logan!" in a very insistent tone. Since it was mama's birthday, I decided to let her help me blow out the candles.  See, I can share. 

I ate all the chocolate frosting off the cupcake and two blackberries from the tart.  I wasn't interested in the cake part of the cupcake or the custard and crust from the tart. 

Posse in effect

This weekend was our first trip to Gilroy Gardens for 2012 season!  It was also Mason's first trip ever!

Usually, we go with another family or two.  This time, we had a huge posse with us: Me, Mason, Kyden, Sienna, Matthew, Edison and Greyson. (That's right, Sienna was the only girl hangin with us guys.)

With such a large group, it took us a while to get started. After all the season pass photos and the bathroom stop (one of many), we finally got to ride the rides.  I wanted to ride the spinning garlic (similar to the teacups at Disneyland) and the banana split (giant banana swing similar to a viking swing), but I was too little.  Boo!

At least I got to ride on most of the rides.  Mason was too little to ride on pretty much all of the rides. He was only allowed to ride on the train. See there he is...somewhere in this picture. If you look closely, you can see part of his face. Even though he couldn't ride most of the rides, Mason did great.

 I had a great time hanging with my posse. But I think mama is confused.  I've been asking her if we can go to Disneyland, not Gilroy Gardens.  Every time I ask her, she replies, "You need to ask Uncle Jeff and Auntie Jeanette."  Huh?

Here comes the bride

 Mama's cousin, Sharon, got married today.  Hmm...if she's mama's cousin does that make her my 2nd cousin? Anyway, we (Mason and I) were lucky enough to be invited. So after our naps, we got dolled up and headed out to Pleasanton.

It was a really fancy venue with a giant fountain in the front. The bridal party danced down to the aisle to the Marry You song from Glee. Even the groom's mom danced down the aisle with the groom! I bet mama would do something like that when Mason or I get married. They had an airline/flight theme, which mama thought was cute because Sharon is a flight attendant and Wilson (the groom) is a pilot for Cathay Pacific. BTW, they didn't meet at the airline; they met in college - driving buses.  Hmmm, I'm sensing a definite transportation thing.

They also had a photo booth with props. Fun, fun! Mason and I took pictures in the photo booth.  I took mine with dada; Mason took his with mama.  We couldn't get it together to take a family picture though.   


















There were only a handful of kids at the wedding: me, Mason, Anders (he was the ring bearer), the flower girl and two other girls. I've hung out with Anders before. His mama (who is another one of mama's cousins) brought him over to meet Mason, have lunch and then go to the park a month or so ago. He was really dressed up in a rental tux. Mama got me to wear my tie by telling me that Ander's would be in a tie too.

Weddings are okay...kinda boring and long in my opinion. I mean don't people know how hard for little kids like me to sit still and behave?  I kept asking if we could go home during the reception, but we had to wait til the food was served. Good thing dada packed dinner for me. Otherwise I would've been tired and hungry.
