Play, Play, Play!

Tyler has been super busy lately. I wonder where the time goes most weeks when Friday rolls around and it seems like Monday was just yesterday. He's slowly realizing he has the power to make the world stand on end (at least his Mom's world) and every once in a while will exhort his tyrannical powers. We try to keep those moments at bay with diversion tactics, and for the most part this works. Here are a few photos from what he's been up to lately (added two weeks ago, but for some reason I couldn't log in from Colorad0 - very frustrating!). Godzilla tries to attack Tyler at Brody's birthday party. Tyler is completely aware of the monster's pending attack. Must work on toddler reflexes.
Post Godzilla attack? No, post-birthday party exhaustion. He'll look the same way in 20 years after a party as well (and hopefully none of his friends will shave his eyebrows or write on his forehead, if they do, they will have to contend with Mom!)

I've got some big shoes to fill! Trying to walk in Mom's Sketchers in Las Vegas. Even Mom has a hard time with these shoes sometimes.

At My Gym, contemplating if he really wants to bother crawling through the big barrel.
Is there a boy in all those balls? Just think of the germs in there - yuck! He clearly doesn't care.
Who wouldn't want to swing on a dolphin?

With Aunt Katie at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas during the All Star Game weekend. He's T-shirt reads "Lock up your daughters" and usually gets quite a chuckle.
At the Shark Reef exhibit at Mandalay Bay. The real exhibit was watching the zoo that was the All Star fans. So much bling and booty in one place. Once is fine, twice is foolish.

If forced, I could fit into the overhead compartment. This is good to know.

Another Field Trip? Hooray!!!

Mama said we were going on a field trip, so I hopped in my car. Let's go! I'm ready!

Not so fast, Munchkin, she said. First you need some clothes. So, I got Daddy and the suitcases and proceeded to climb on in. We can go in our pajamas and maybe we won't even need a car, we can...

ride in the suitcase! What a great way to get around town! Ah, but Mama said no (again - she's lame!) and she dressed me and we got in the car and went to....

the observatory! What a cool building! It was just remodeled and has some awesome views of all of L.A.! It wasn't even all that smoggy so we could actually see some stuff!

Here we are posing in front of the Hollywood sign on the roof of the observatory...

and here I am standing in front of a model of Venus. I loved playing with all the games and astronomy gadgets they had set up. We watch Baby Galileo all the time, so I'm sort of a budding astro-physicist already.

For example, here I am studying the optics of Mama's camera. They use optics quite a lot in astrophysics, so I'm told. Thus, it is very important to take a good look at the lens of every camera and grab every lens cap I can get my hands on. This is what I was doing at the beach the day after going to the observatory. No need to force me to study, no way!

Except when I get bored 2 seconds later and I need to walk up the beach, or....

try and push my ride in the sand. Anything to help Daddy out!

At the end of a long weekend, I like to get in my jammies, round up the gang and play a little cards. ABC is my game, some dudes like animals or numbers, but the real money is in knowing your ABC's. Trust me.
