Dylan Channels Karnac!

And finally the last video of The Boy opening his parents' gifts to him on 9.12.09. He has always been fascinated by my weekly chore - mowing the lawn. No doubt it's because it involves noise, wheels, and walking. I don't think he'll enjoy it once it's his chore to do! Anyway, for now he loves it, and so getting him a toy mower was a no-brainer.

Oh, and the title (for you young ones!) refers to the old Johnny Carson skit where he played a fortune teller, Karnac, who was able to tell what was inside an envelope before he opened it. You'll see that Dylan was able to identify this gift before he opened it! Amazing kid!

Dylan Passes the Math Part of the CAHSEE!

Dylan got a set of colorful blocks - actually, TWO sets of the very same blocks, that's how wonderful they are! (Thank you Aunt Suzy, Uncle Jim and Jake!) He already knows his colors pretty well, and a number of shapes as well (oval, square, rectangle, triangle, circle, heart and star). So this set of blocks will help him with strengthening those skills - plus equally important, he'll have fun!

Dylan Sings Happy Birthday to You!

Title says it all...

Dylan Solves a Puzzle!

Here's a little video Jennifer shot on The Boy's birthday. He got a few presents from Mommy and Poppy, one of them the truck (see the post just below this one), a train puzzle, a box of blocks, a lawn mower and what I like to call his Flinstone car - a little Fisher Price push car that he just loves!

This video is him working on his train puzzle.

More to come!

Dylan's Delight!

There's more to his actual birthday (celebrated on the 12th with Mommy, Poppy and of course The Birthday Boy himself!) than just this, but this sequence is one of the most pure expressions of joy and excitement I have ever witnessed! I just wanted to share this with you. Will post more later...

Dylan Turns 2!

... And it took three days (and three parties!) for him to properly celebrate the big event. The first party was on Friday at his day care, where his day care provider throws a big party for the kids on their birthday. We were not able to be there, it being a work day, but Mommy gave the day care provider her camera and asked her to document the party. So, here are the photos from that party!
