Computer down

Hi everyone, I haven't posted yet this week because Papa's fruity computer was a little sick. It seems that all the photographs he's been taking are filling up the storage disk and making iPhoto unhappy. Luckily all of the photographs are still there, it's just he has to rebuild the library so iPhoto knows where all the files are located. This is also a good time to archive all the memories for safe keeping, so it's taking a while. If you keep all of your files on your computer just know that someday, something will go awry.

I was asleep in bed when Papa woke me up with the morning by opening the blinds. Sometimes I am happy about waking up, sometimes not so happy. Today I was a little unhappy because I got shorted on sleep by a couple of hours. We had gone out to dinner last night to celebrate Papa's 39th birthday. That's old considering I'm not even two yet. But dinner ran late and then I wanted to play with Thomas the choo-choo train; before I knew it, 9:00pm had arrived. That's very late for a small boy. Oh well, maybe I'll get an extra long nap at Daycare.

Summer watty

It has been hot out here in California. We are seeing some rather warm weather right now and there is no sign of it letting up. Good thing there is a lawn sprinkler in the backyard to keep me cool. The fire season is underway as well, they don't call California the "Golden State" just for fun. All the grasses here seem to change from Spring verdant to Summer brown. This year the brown came early.

Hua is the Mandarin name for flower. Hua is also the name of my primary caregiver. Since I am a little boy, I like to call flowers hua-hua, which sort of sounds like wawa for water. To avoid some confusion, Mama taught me a different word for water. Now I call the clear, colorless liquid that keeps me cool, watty. Thank goodness for watty on a summer afternoon. Stay cool.

Happy Independence day

Oops, you caught me snacking at my favorite bagel place. You see, we drive past this little non-chain bagel store every day on our way to daycare. I can sense when we're getting close in the car, so I may even trumpet "bagel" out loud, just to plant the idea in your head.

Happy 4th of July. It is America's birthday; the day we celebrate our independence from British governance. The day when everyone gets the day off to BBQ and watch some fireworks in the sky. Except for me; I went swimming at the community pool and ate dinner in downtown Palo Alto to stay cool. I couldn't stay awake for the firecrackers, bottle rockets, and professional pyrotechnics. I turned in for a good night's sleep instead.
