Sick of being sick

This week we have been and are sick again. I could not tell exactly how many times we have been sick this winter but I am sure more then 10 times. There is hardly any days that all of us, including Ocean would be ok. Usually, it starts with me. I have a runny nose, cough, ear ache...something , then I get better and mom gets it. Then by the time she is OK, then either I got ii back or dad gets it. Believe me, it is absolutely no fun. I recently have started the Waddler 3 group in my day care. Since then, I have stayed more home then I have been able to go.

That is why mom was a bit down this week until she read two reminders, that she wants me to remember:

"When a thing plagues you so and you done all you can, the outcome is no longer up to you. Sometimes the best thing you can do is take your hands off, just let it go, let it go."
----From the book of Tumbling by Diane Whetstone---

" Be on the guard against the pit of self-pity. When you are weary or unwell, this trap is the greatest danger you face.Don't even go near the edge of the pit. There are several ways to protect yourself from self-pity. when you are occupied with praising and thanking me, it is impossible to feel sorry for yourself."
-----From the book of Jesus Calling by Sarah Young---

When mom needs courage, she thinks about her mom and mom in-low, they are the two bravest women she knows. I want to get to know them better, that I can understand what mom talks about.

Lightning Mcqueen

I got this book set from my friend Alex. Actually, I only know Mcqueen, the rest of the characters were new for me and I still was not able to read all of the books, I just can not sit still long enough. The one thing that I love to do for sure with the booklets, to pack and unpack them. Who does that sound like in my family??? It's my dad, he loves to pack and unpack everything, specially when traveling. :-))))

Happy Valentine's Day!

Apa and I had a nice surprise for mom this morning. I was so excited that I was already up at 5:40 am, mom was not very happy. Usually she can not even see out of her head--that's what she says-- but what does that mean?

So, dad and I made art. We painted a coffee cup, a picture frame and our friend Becky took pictures with my two little friends, Owen and Christopher on a McCormick tractor. Oh, what fun we had driving that tractor and mom had no idea! :-) See Becky's blog entry here:

Happy Valentine's Day to you all!

Circus

Having dinner with my elephant at home.


Opening act


Closing act

A circus came into town. A real one! :-)They had elephants, horses, ponies, tigers and clowns. I did very good on the two hour show. We had pretzels, pop corn and the whole nine yard! Tatiana got me a circus hat and mom was holding me in her lap, we really had a great afternoon.

Lorents moment: Szeretlek! I love you

A couple of weeks ago, it was the first time I have heard Lorent tell me "Szeretlek! I love You!" i have felt warmness not just around my heart but in my entire body. It is now our routine, that after the milk, I tell him how much I love him and he is good, he is kind, he is clever and we pray together for a moment and one more time I tell him good night, I love you. This time, he responded back to me "I love you" in Hungarian and by the time I got to the door, he said it again. What a phenomenal moment to hear that for the first time from your own kid!
Since that night Lorent tells us daily "Szeretlek", when he goes to sleep and also when he leaves for school. I don't think that there will be a time I could get bored with that one. :-)
His Apa, Daddy was traveling over the weekend, he had to attend Cousin Katies' wedding.They were able to talk by phone and Lorent told his Daddy: "Apa, szeretlek."
Our heart was melting! Thank YOU Lorent!

Bathing time

I love bathing! If it is possible I take a bath/shower twice a day. It always has been one of the calming mechanism that my parents applied. Now, I can bath for a good 20-30 minutes and tell my parents when to go out, hide or come back. Our newest game: I send my parents out, let them stand by the door, and I come out from the tub - open the door for them - and go back to the bath tub again. It entertains me a lot. :-)
I love the sound of the water, I pour and pour again the water from the big container to a small one, then again back to the big one. Using the shower head or tap, I watch how the bubbles dissolve or take over my toys.
I love the water, I love bathing time!

I am saying for the first time "I love YOU!"

Soccer and break time

I played indoor soccer this morning, here I take a break

I started soccer today. We have finished going to the Gymboree and now I am starting a new activity. Soccer! We went for the first time today and we all had fun. I think, my dad got lots of exercise, keeping up with me and taking me back to our part of field. Coach Chris is great, I like running, I like ball so what's there not to like about soccer?

Carolina Tiger Sanctuary

Click on the little picture to see all of the photos!

Today we went to the Carolina Tiger Sanctuary and saw several types of carnivores! Here, mom and I check out the Caracal's.

Always keep...

Always keep a bulldozer handy, you never know when you need it!

Vvrrooom vvrrooomm!

This is mom's favorite picture at this time about me. I agree, it is one of those rare moments when I look into the camera, not moving, not showing my back, my side and I am smiling without the Binky.
