Circus And Park

Lately CD has been inhaling food.  The other day I literally spent 2 hours in the kitchen just preparing food for him to eat.  I guess he is growing.  🙂

Can’t…eat…enough

C bought CD a new shopping cart as the other one just isn’t really holding up too well.

Helping put the shopping cart together

Yesterday we went to the circus.  It was an experience but still ok.

Circus crew- minus one kid hiding and Mama who took the pic

We had some time to waste prior to the doors opening for the show so since it was nice outside, we headed to a park.  It was so much fun that I think we will return there for a picnic one day.

Enjoying the show with C

Today we didn’t do much.  Just had a major tantrum and went to the park.  The weather was nice and then towards the end of the day, it turned pretty quickly to being windy, cooler and rainy.

Watching the wheels spin

Feeding Ernie

Then Charlie Brown joined us

And all were happy!

CD Lunch – YouTube     CD is eating lunch and places a bean in Ernie’s hair.  Towards the end of the video, he feeds Ernie.  CD also shakes his head as he dances to the Ernie tunes.

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures…End of Catching Up

This will bring you up to date on CD.

“Bus Stop” Ab Workout – YouTube   CD loves to sit here when I’m in the bedroom doing stuff.  C’s folded clothes are the perfect height for him to sit on while he holds the “bus” poles.  Not sure if you can see the smudges on the pole where he always holds it.  🙂  He is working his abs as he is getting ready for bathing suit weather.  🙂

LOVES the goats!

Can you spot CD in the line looking at the camels?

Watering the flowers

GP would be proud. CD was ALL over the Black & Decker tool bench. He loved the “working” drill.

Let me just say I’m pretty wiped out today.  We had an okay morning, but then things kind of went downhill from there.  CD is FULL-BLOWN toddler right now.  LOVES to say “Nein” (No) and has his own opinion.  I can deal with these.  What I can’t deal with is being slapped.  Yes, he does it…just like a bunch of other toddlers.  We are working through it and I hope to get to the end of it soon…for my sake.  🙂

Hope you all enjoy the photo shoot of CD.  🙂

Look Mama…a flower. Meanwhile Mama is passed out from her run!

So I let him play with the freaky sharp-nailed merry-go-round girl. Creepy.

Little monkey

Expensive car

Hallo!

Red sports car

Test drive

Found the gas tank…and stores his gas money there

This is why our walks last so long: CD points to all the little reflectors on the cars.

And the wheels. Thank goodness car alarms have not gone off because he also tries to get into the cars! He screams “I see!” every time. 🙂

Running free

Checking out his shadow

Smile!

We went for ice cream one day. The fire alarms went off. We needed to vacate the building. Fire trucks, police cars, etc. arrived with blazing sirens. All in a days fun.

Park run…for CD, not Mama

Argh!

One of my Favs!

Watching people play badminton in the park. Look at his hands! SO CUTE!

CD’s hideout at the park. He loves it. It is a cove underneath the slide.

STRESS for Mama. We let CD and E run free and CD was ALL OVER the place. Needless to say, we chugged our drinks instead of enjoying ourselves.

Bedhead

I have a picture of CD in front of the cherry blossoms from last year. Figured I would get one this year too.

Yup, shopping distraction. I know where all of them are in Frankfurt. 🙂

CD made some crumbs. Then he disappeared only to return with the dustpan and brush. Good boy!
