Sick suckers

He he he. I tricked mommy and daddy into thinking I was sick today. They even kept me home from school. (I wasn't sick, I just had a tooth coming in.) It's hard work getting your nose to drip so much and coughing a bunch, but it was worth it to hang out on the couch all day and watch lots of TV. I think mommy figured out I was faking when we went for a walk in the park and I went on the swings and giggled like crazy for 20 minutes. What can I say, swings are my kryptonite.

Sick, nah! Ride-em cowgirl!

Here's Lexi!

Hanging with Arthur

We went to the Children's Museum today. I got to play in Arthur's World and all his friends from TV were there. I waived and said hi to all of them (multiple times). They let me and daddy play school with them and then we went camping in their backyard. There was also a room with a giant water table. I put on a smock and scooped up water with a spatula, a measuring cup and a funnel. Then in another room there was a big boat that I climbed and a slide to go down. The slide was so fast I fell off on my butt each time. He he he. My most favorite part though was playing with this funny metal drum and running around everywhere. I can't wait to go back soon!

I love swinging the drum.

The drum makes funny sounds that
make me giggle.

School is cool in Arthur's World.

Friday night chillin

It's been a long week. By Friday afternoon, I can't wait to come home, go to my secret spot (shh..it's behind my kitchen) with my Dunkins, a snack and a good book and just kick back and relax. Ahhhh.

The chain gang returns

We finally got to go outside today. I was so excited to be back on the chain gang that I couldn't stop saying and waving "hi" to everything we passed. I said "hi hi hi" to people, to cars, to trees, to steps, to buildings, and even just to the air. It was contagious (that means it caught on and spread). All my friends started doing it too. The people we passed sure thought it was funny to hear so many little voices saying "hi."

Kiss and tattle

I was feeling extra loving today. I gave all my friends and teachers lots and lots of hugs and kisses. When I wasn't busy kissing, I was tattling. Whenever anyone did something wrong today, like not putting a toy away, I made sure everyone knew. Once I started tattling, I noticed no one really wanted my hugs and kisses anymore. That's OK. I'll just kiss myself in the mirror instead.

Who loves me? I do!

This is how I like to roll, literally!

Nothing like chilling with your feet up.

Chicken draw

I had my first chicken fight tonight. It was me and daddy versus Maya and Eric. I didn't realize you are supposed to attack the other person sitting on the shoulders. I just kept clawing at daddy. I think it was a draw (that means no one won) because daddy kept screaming, "Ouch, you're drawing blood."



Just a bunch of us chickens having fun.

I'm so high, hehehe!

Hoarders anonymous

I'm Lexi and I'm a hoarder. I used to be a drooler, now I hoard. I can rarely be seen walking without a blanket or book or stuffed animal or toy nuzzled into the space between my chest and my arm. I'm so good at it that I can stash things in my hoarding space and still be able to fully use my hands. I know it isn't the worst thing to be, and it's a lot cleaner than being a drooler, but being a hoarder can't be good if everyone is always telling you to put things back.

Sometimes I put my stuff in
a bag for safe keeping
and drag the bag around. 

Your tribe is showing

If it wasn't already official that I'm a member of the tribe, it is now. I got my first taste of hummus tonight and it was yummmmy! I couldn't stop dipping pita and licking my fingers. And, apparently, well at least according to mommy, I have these things called peyos (it means sidecurls) growing from my head. I guess I can't really complain. Peyos do seem to be better than jair, another type of Jewish hair that many people complain about on the web. Who am I kidding, any hair would be awesome!

Where have you been hiding this stuff and why?

Party of three

I was so excited to see mommy when she came home (and not just because I was hungry). I hugged her, looked at her, hugged her, looked at her and hugged her again. I like it much better when we are a party of three.

Daddy-Daughter weekend

Mommy went away this weekend so it was just me and daddy today. We took the train to the Museum of Science and I got to run around a lot. A few times I got overwhelmed and dropped down to the floor, cried and wailed my arms. But, other than that, it was a lot of fun.

One thing I noticed today is daddy feeds me a lot differently than mommy. Mommy feeds me yogurt, fruit and milk for breakfast. With daddy I just get a little fruit and milk. For lunch mommy gives me tomatoes and pasta and chicken and a cheese stick. Daddy gives me animal crackers and milk. I'm really hungry. I hope mommy comes home soon.

Pick your masterpiece

I've been doing a lot of arts and crafts at school lately. Here is my latest collection of masterpieces. Feel free to call dibs on any of them. Well, any of them except the fishes in agua. That's my favorite.

Pushy lady

I got another note home today that I am "aggressive and pushy" with my friends and that I "need to be nice." You know what I say to that: mine, mine, noooo! 

Testing, testing 1-2-3

My buddy Curious George is always experimenting (that means trying different ways to do things) and that got me thinking. I should experiment ways to get what I want. I already know that if I cry it sometimes works, but not always. I decided to test being extra cute. For the last couple of days, I’ve been crossing my legs and leaning up against a wall when I ask for something. It totally works! Mommy and daddy say I look so cute and then give me what I want. This could be foolproof!

More apple please.

Laundromat playground

The laundromat is such a fun place. They have all these carts you can push. You get to watch all the clothes get really wet and then whirl round and round. If you stare too long you can get dizzy. I meet a boy there named Trevor. We chased each other around and around and around the machines giggling the whole time. Everyone else there looked pretty sad, but I had the best time.

Who can help me fold? 

I see you Trevor. Here I come. 

Kiss 2.0

Remember when mommy said that I gave slutty kisses because I always kept my mouth open. Well, I figured out how to do close mouth kisses. Don't worry, I'm still a little slutty though because I still love to kiss everyone!!

Bilingual? Si!

My Spanish vocabulary (that means words I know) is growing. At day care today we drew pictures of fish in agua (it means water). I giggle every time I say agua. It sounds so silly. Agua, agua, agua. Hehehe.

Know and grow

Here are all the new things I learned this week.

1. How to use scissors

2. How to make a ransom note
3. Hamantaschens are the best type of cookie EVER

4. You aren't supposed to eat stickers or glitter tattoos

5. If I sit really still, daddy lets me watch a lot of TV with him

6. It is more fun using crayons as dipping sticks in food than using them to color, especially at restaurants

7. I really like the roller coaster ride at Kids Fun Stop

8. Cashews are weird to chew

9. How to throw an effective (that means it works) tantrum

Not now, I'm eating.
