great outdoors

today, panzer went to the park.

this isn't the first time P has been to the park, but it is the first time he has discovered some old flat nasty filthy bubble gum on the sidewalk, and after being unable to pry it up with his fingers, got down on all fours to try to pry it up with his teeth.

bang bang

today, panzer got his first visible bruise. on his forehead, above his right eye. i'm not exactly sure what happened, except that it happened on siti and grandpa's watch. he's in good spirits though -- ate a whole bowl full of black beans, yelled HOT when i opened the oven door, and hid three toys in my purse, all before bathtime.

the next day, his bruise turned a nice shade of yellow, and he added a huge scrape on top -- also not on my watch. P and daddy went for a hike, and since he hasn't learned how to watch where he's going, it didn't take long to meet a rock, head first.

strawberry fields forever

today, panzer fell in love with strawberry ice cream. sure to be the subject of many bribes to come!

knock knock

today, panzer had to go to the pediatrician for a few vaccinations. instead of waiting patiently in the "waiting room" for the impending doom, he took off down the hallway, pushed open the first door that wasn't latched well, and marched into someone else's doctor's appointment.

by the time i caught up, he was patting some teenage boy's foot as he had his blood pressure taken. so much for health information privacy...

stranger danger

today, panzer refused candy from a stranger.

choo choo

today, panzer executed a perfect three-point turn on the alphabet train. (he really is surprisingly adept at steering things around the house. which is good, because there are a lot of obstacles.)

happily we chug along, writing letters, singing songs.

happily we chug along, on the train.

muah

today panzer blew me a kiss. and said "mmmm-muah!"

vroom vroom

today, panzer sat on his first vintage motorcycle -- a 1987 honda supermagna. (happy birthday, daddy!)

now just waiting for his first ride....

piggy piggy

today, panzer came running screeching around the corner into the living room. he apparently found a quarter somewhere and promptly fed it to his piggy bank, shook the piggy to make sure it was full, and went about his business.

turkey day

today panzer ate like a jancaitis at his first solid food thanksgiving.


good job P, make papa tom proud gnawing on your big greasy turkey leg.
