A private pool

This is our neighborhood city pool.  This day was beautiful, but occasionally the sky would get black and it would rain for 30 seconds. We hit the pool between rain storms and basically had the whole thing to ourselves. 

Of course he only wanted to play with his boat in the drainage trough next to the steps.

Baby D plays in his seat while still in his bathing suit and sun shirt. 

A drives the bus around the house at the speed of light.

"cups wrapped in noise..."

Last night was awesome. I fell asleep in the car and woke up in a place of wonder and surprise. Da carried me into a room that had EVERYTHING! A bed, a abbydaba (tv), a remote with a big red button, a bucket, cups wrapped in noise, a place to wash hands...all in the same space! 
I threw the towels on the floor, it was awesome. I picked up the phone and guess what?? It beeped! Again and again! I tried to show baby D the phone beeping trick, but he just doesn't get it. He cried when I put the bucket on his head, and that was hilarious.
There was a big box with knobs, I turned them all around and the box blew air at me! I have no idea what that was, but who cares, it was awesome!!
This morning I had some cereal and 2 donuts. Mama said there was one for me and one for Da, but then she left and I ate them both. The cereal was boring so I dumped it out on the big bed. It was so much fun smashing it up. If you haven't felt cereal with your toes, you are missing out!!
Then I figured out how to open the door. Running down the long hallway shouting and laughing was a blast. Once Da came, the 2nd time Mama came. Then the door got stuck, which made me really sad. They said it wasn't stuck, but it totally was, so I tried showing them and saying it again and again.
We went to get some juice. Mama really loves her juice in the morning and she does not share.
We took the juice and got back in the car. I watched the busses for awhile and reminisced about how awesome that place was. They called it a cheap hotel, but whatever, it was glorious.

Cut the grass!

Attison and I cut the grass at my grandma's house. 

A climber

A is a climber. It is hard to tell him to stop climbing, because usually before I notice he is climbing he has already reached the top.

This happened WHILE I WAS TAKING THE PICTURE. So very quickly.

Porchin it

This is the exhaust duct that Tim made for the house furnace-turned-air-mover that we used during the renovation. Attison thought it was a fun tunnel.

It isn't a fun tunnel, it is a gross air duct, so I made him get out...after I took pictures of him in it. 

He was still pretty pleased with himself while he played in the pool.  

Speaking of pleased with himself...baby D is getting really smiley!

This is his "milk face" which means "Feed me now please. And no, I don't care about this laundry or when it gets folded. Milk. Thanks."

Attison blogs

Every morning they come and remove me from my place of exile. I've come to enjoy my time here though, it is comfortable and safe. Often I am allowed a few favorite books and perhaps a small bus. 
I ask to see my brother. Will they oblige? Has he also been locked away as I have? 
When I see him he looks alert. I begin CPR anyway, these large humans are tricky. She makes me stop, my brother cries out. He is alive! I kiss him again and again, perhaps a little to roughly, he seems displeased when our foreheads knock together.
I play. I need to work the kinks out of my joints from the long isolation. She tries to change my pants. I refuse. I am kicking! That new one shall not touch my skin! I, like Jennythedog, have marked this one so others know it is mine.
She has overpowered me again. I will distract her with begging and crying so she doesnt get to my brother. Oh D. Baby D baby D.....
