January Trip to Holbrook

I used the Post-its at Aunt Sarah's work.

I got patches like Uncle Gun's.

Aunt Kristi taught me how to play Uno and even got me my own Uno cards.
When anyone would yell, "Uno," I told them, "You are speaking Spanish!"

I measured myself on Aunt Kirsti's wall.

Happy New Year!

We didn't have a pre-made sign to welcome

in the new year, so Cael insisted we make one.

He wrote it all except the 2013 and the

squiggly decorative things.

Have you met my new best friend, Mr. Tato Head?

Aunt Julie got me Mr. Tato Head for Christmas,

and I like to take him with me everywhere.

He even lets me wear his glasses sometimes.

I make sure I take off his shoes and hat

when we are relaxing on the bed or the couch or

on the floor to watch a movie.

Merry Sickmas!

Christmas came to our house this year, merry, bright,and with the flu.

Yuk.

Cael and I suffered a bad flu virus.

It had us down and out for several days, including the big 2-5.

Cael, the poor little guy, was feeling so icky that he didn't even wish to finish opening his gifts on Christmas morning.

Things were so bad that we only got two actual on-the-day photos.

Santa left his footprints on our carpet as he exited our fireplace after maneuvering down the chimney.

These other pictures were taken a couple of days after Christmas,when we were feeling a little better and gifts were sent from Holbrook.I am glad Cael felt well and excited

that night, as he loved opening these presents. He was spoiled, as usual.

Yes, Santa, I am being a very nice boy.

I am not pouting nor crying.

I am doing the dishes, for goodness' sake.

I am even pretending that I am

Santa Claus coming to town.

First Trip to the Dentist

Cael had his first visit to the dentist yesterday. He was such a good boy. He let the hygienist (Kami Avila) and the dentist (Dr. Platt) do a complete exam, including x-rays. He did all they asked and was well-behaved the whole time.

His mom was proud.

Mrs. Avila did a great job showing Cael all the tools and things she would use on him before she began the exam. Cael even got to move the "magic chair" up and down and back and forth.

Cael got to wear one of the blue exam gloves, a blue bib, and glasses to keep any debris out of his eyes.

I love how his legs are sprawled out, as he relaxes in the chair.

The only bad news about the day: He has two cavities that need to be filled, so dentist visit number two will be coming up soon.

Who is giving him all that sugar?

Santa!
