Art Appreciation

Come on mother, let me show you some art. I know you don't know much about it, but let me educate you.

Ah....art! You know what makes this art? Honestly, I don't either but it is, so go with it.

You know what's great about this art? It's all about little people! Look, little hands, hammers, feet, toys...great colors!

Oh....me likey! It also moves! Awesome....

I'm inspired! Mom, this settles it, when we get home, I'm going to need some steel, a cutting torch, some paint, and an arc welder....start making some calls!

Bassinet!

Just stop talking, you're wrong! I tell you, it's called a bassinet!

NO! It's not your boat! I realize that you're now sitting up, but that doesn't change the name of that thing, and it's called a BASSINET!

WRONG!

Sure....I'd love to see the label....I'll wait. Nope, take your time, you show me the tag where it says "boat." Yep, I'll be right here.

Hey dad, let's go get my tricycle! I'm totally ready to peddle and steer! I've been working on it...well, visualizing it anyway. Let's go!

Yep, I remember: push the peddles down, point the wheel where I want to go, I know!

I know! You don't have to keep reminding me. But honestly, how awesome does my helmet and Elmo pad looks!

So, we worked on my driving and peddling and dad said something about "driving like I'm blind and drunk" and so he yanked me out of my trike and put me in my car. Doesn't he realize that I can't steer or peddle in this thing?

Ahoy you scurvy dogs!

Call me Ismael....or if you want me to answer, call me Mallory. Anyway, welcome aboard the S.S. Mallory! We're about to head out in search for that great white whale!

Full speed ahead! Let's go find us some fish!

Dammit...I can see over the dash board...is that what you call it on a boat? I'm going up to the crow's nest for a better view.

Ahoy! There she blows! Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! Ok....can someone help me get down? No, I'm not playing any more....little help here!

Oh gosh, thanks mom....

Basic Nutrition

Let me introduce you to the most important food group - ice cream!

Don't forget there is also the other sister food group to ice cream -- that's ice cream on a cone!

And of course, the very closely related and equally important ice cream outside on an awesomely warm winter day!

Oh yea! Don't forget sprinkles! A very close relative to the ice cream food group...man, making sure I get a balanced diet sure is a lot of hard work, thankfully I'm totally up for it!

Knock! KNOCK!!

So, I hear you've got a new chair, how great for you!

Interesting....so they Velcro you into a chair so you can sit up? Really?

Did I mention that I can sit up on my own? Yep, I'm awesome.

Yep....so, will you let me in now?

HELLO?! I'd like to come in! The Great Mallory is done outside....hello?

My TV!

So, today I told mom and dad that this was MY TV and my movie and I didn't want to share it.

So, rather than tell me that I HAD to share, mom jumped up and nearly ran across the room to get me some headphones....not sure why they were so on board with me using headphones to watch TV...

But, as I watched my movie, mom and dad seemed to be very happy about the fact that I was not sharing the noise...huh...whatever, MINE!
