Too Sexy? Maybe.

Hello there.  Ol' Blue Eyes is back and I'm taking over this site!  

ARE... YOU... READY... FOR... THIS?!

I'M TOO SEXY FOR THIS DIAPER!  Kids my age won't even get the reference, but no matter.  Anyway, my household is a little conservative in the clothing department, so I don't get to parade around like this for too long before someone catches me and throws me into some serious pajamas.

I can still be too sexy, though.

Enough of the silliness.  I have to get back to my studies.  I have school on Monday.

And then it's back to more silliness, before I get caught and placed in my cage for the night with Horton, the elephant!  Run, Horton! Run!

Weekend Getaway

 On Saturday, we took a drive up to the central coast to visit with some friends.  My good pal Shea took me for a ride on his swinging surfboard.

 We rode that thing for quite a long time.

 We also spent some time on the trampoline with Shea's sister, Isla.

 We had a ball, obviously.

Did I mention that Ben came along, too? He checked the place out.

 The next day, we went to a place called The Barn, where we had lunch and fed the animals.

 Isla is a little younger than I am, so I kept a close eye on her.

 And this goat kept an eye on me, 'cause I had a bag of food in my hand.

I was so exhausted after a rough night of partying that I had Daddy Ben push me in the stroller while I took a brief nap.  

We had a great time with Shea and Isla and can't wait to hang out with them again soon.

"Snowy" with a Chance of Rain

 We headed up to the Skirball Center on Sunday to check out the Ezra Jack Keats exhibit.  He wrote one of our favorite books, The Snowy Day, among many others.  

The exhibit shows the different ways that he created the illustrations and displays a lot of the original art from his books.  Mom and I posed for the photo booth.

I cross-pollinated by bringing along Horton.  He's from Dr. Seuss, of course.

 I measured myself against the kids on the shadow wall.

And Grace and I took a turn at creating our own books.

 Later, we explored the Noah's Ark exhibit.

There are arks big and small and all sorts of different animals to look at and touch.

 I spent a bit of time cleaning up after my sister.  Luckily, the museum provides the proper cleaning tools, because they're used to having all those animals around.

 Grace left quite a mess.

 I still found time to fool around, though.

On the way out, Grace pretended to be a statue, hoping we would walk by without noticing.

Doctor, Doctor

 I spent the day at the hospital, getting poked and scanned.  On Thursday, I strained my neck and was in a lot of pain.  Then, last night I vomited about half my weight.  (Yuck!)  So, this morning my mom took me in to see the doctor.

 This was the worst part, when they put it in and when they took it out.  (Ouch!)

Anyway, all my vitals checked out OK -- I may just have a bug -- so I'm heading home for some serious Netflix time on the couch.  

On a Downtown Train

 I took my first train ride today. I got a little fired up about it, as you can see.

 Grace and our pal Zoey joined me for a trip to the L.A. County Museum of Natural History.

 Here's proof that we paid the admission fee.

Sometimes it seems to me that Grace is as old as the dinosaurs.  Here, she's just pretending to be one. 

 I tried to take a shortcut to the gardens, but I couldn't jimmy the lock.

 This stick dwelling was kind of cool, but it seemed impractical, even for Los Angeles.

 Grace took time out to do a silly pose for the camera.

Then she got back to her mission of discovering things with her new binoculars, which she is obsessed with.

The Many Faces of Grace

 This is the one that says "Don't cross me!  I will crush you!"  Don't worry, Grace was only acting for this photo, though her parents have seen this face many times for real.

Grace can also be super cute.  Was she only acting for this one?  Who knows?  She's that good.

And sometimes Grace likes to take some time out to just think about things.  This is her contemplative look.

Portrait of an Artist

I'm a big fan of works of crayon on paper.

It really is the most expressive medium for me.

 I don't think I'm quite ready to contribute a piece to the Venice Art Walk auction, but I checked out the work of some other fine artists. 

And Grace and I had a great time in the garden area at Google, hanging out in a hammock and listening to live music.  How do I get a job at this place?
