Hula hooping

On Sunday I met a nice lady selling hoops in the fremont Sunday market. Eager as always to try something new, I tried one on. It was really tricky at first, but now I’m hooked.

Dance Party

Everyone was tremendously happy with the fantastic dance party that I hosted! I told everyone all day that I wasn’t actually 4 until I blew out my candles and everyone sang to me.

Click here for the whole album or just check out the highlights below:

We’re anxiously awaiting our guests. The cake was ready:

From Ben turns 4

The favors:

And the main dancers – Breakin’ Benny B and Lil’ A:

We danced the limbo, the conga and everyone had a great time!

From Ben turns 4

I was so proud of my friends for not getting too crazy, we all ate our dinner, colored and enjoyed the cake too!

From Ben turns 4

I’m so lucky to have such good friends (and thanks to the other grown-ups who helped my parents pull it off)

Basement update

The basement project is coming along slowly but surely. Mom is very excited about the laundry room – I cried when they painted it pink. Real tears.

I really wanted it to be brown.

They let me paint the closet – so that cheered me up. I really wanted it to be black, but I agreed that white was good too. I’m a really big help! Much more help then I was painting Annabel’s closet last year. (Dad and I worked hard for about 2 hours!)

I’m so excited about the toilet!

And I think it’s hilarious that the ‘hot is cold and the cold is hot’ – they will have to take it out and fix it!

The goal is to be done in time for the Easter Bunny to see it!

More Ben singing

As we wait for the Easter Bunny – my preschool learned “little bunny fufu” in Spanish.

(and I’m wearing my painting mask and homedepot apron)

Jorge

Me: “Hey mom, why do they sometimes call Curious George, ‘Jorge?’”

Mom: “Well, when you pronounce names in different langauges, they sound different. Because, remember, the letters in Spanish sound different than the letters in English.”

Me: “Like the A is called ‘Ah’!

Mom: “Right! So Annabel is sometimes called Ah-nah-BELL. And you know what my name is in Spanish? I’m called SAAAW-DAAH.”

Me: “You know what I’m sometimes called? BAAAT MAAN.”

Moose got her

“Mom!!!!! OH NO OH No ohhhh nooo!”
“WHAT’S WRONG?!”
“Look!!!!!!! OH NO! HELP ANNABEL!”
“hahahahahahaha.”
“MOM, do NOT get the camera, HELP her! Moose got her! PUT THE CAMERA DOWN” (Shrieking and jumping.)

Don’t worry, we got the drool cleaned off her and I was much happier.

I take my sister’s spanish instruction seriously.

Santa meets Annabel

We saw Santa and I told him how I made these reindeer antlers at school just in time to see him! He loved them of course. Annabel was fascinated by his beard and kept tickling him.

For Christmas I requested an R2D2 and said Santa could just make something up for Annabel. I trust his judgement.

Camarones

We were all in the car and I was “reading” a book about sea creatures.
Me: “Hey, Mom, can you see this thing – what is this thing?”
Mom: “I don’t know, I can’t see because I’m driving.”
Me: “Well, I don’t know what this animal is.”
Mom: “Well, ask Viviana what it is.”
Me: “Vivi – que es esto?”
Vivi (looking at picture): “Es un camaron”
Me: “OOOH! Mom! It’s a shrimp!”

Bad words

me: Mom, can you tell me the thing about “stupid” again?
mom: Yes, Ben, “stupid” is a mean thing to say, so we don’t use that word. It’s a “bad word.”
me: So I can’t say that?
mom: Right.
me: But, I can say “crocodile”?
mom: Of course you can.
me: But if a crocodile eats you – that will be bad.
mom: Yes, it would.
me: So, we can’t say “crocodile” then.
mom: Ok, Ben.
