Back talk

I just told Levi to stop wiggling around like a little worm,sit down and eat his lunch.
He sneeringly replied...,

"you're talking like a little monkey"

Buzz Flashyear

Levi was busy saving the world with his playground friend, Cairo. Upon
leaving, Flash informed us that "you bow when you do a good job
saving the world" and thus bowed before us in acknowledgement of his
own great work.

Cowabunga!

Hot Fun in the Summertime

Levi escapes the Orlando heat lounging in the pool at Gramere and Granpere's.

In The Groove!

Levi enjoys yet another round of batting practice with his eye on the ball.

Copake Falls

We went camping this weekend in the Taconic state park with Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Shaun. Levi was a natural camper-gathering kindling for our campfire, roasting marshmallows for s'mores, climbing up hills and even hiking a couple miles to bash bish falls! He loved sleeping in the tent and swimming in the pond. We can't wait to do it again soon! More pics to come.

Superheros!

Keeping the streets of Brooklyn crime free. At least until bedtime.

The Negotiator--or how the war against the smoothie was won.

Early morning, Thursday--breakfast time (day two of operation "get son to drink new smoothie drink).

Levi: What you making me mom? What we gonna eat?

Mom: How about you try this smoothie? It's delicious. It has banana! Max and Jake LOVE smoothies.

Levi: Noooooooooo! No mom. I don't like smoothie. I want peanut butter and toast.

Mom: Okay, you can have peanut butter and toast and you can just try the smoothie. You can have both. Just one sip of smoothie!

Levi: I don't WANT a smoothie. Just peanut butter. And toast.

Mom: Sorry little dude. No peanut butter and toast without smoothie. You eat way too much toast.

Levi: I don't LIKE smoothie.

Mom: You've never even TRIED smoothie. Try it, you'll like it. Hey, if you don't just try ONE SIP of smoothie, you aren't eating toast.

Levi: (head cocked to one side, contemplating) Well...... what do I get if I don't have smoothie and toast? Cereal Bar?!? I love cereal bar.

Mom: No, I don't have any cereal bar. We are all out. But you can have a smoothie! Yummm, banana.

Levi: (falls on floor in fit of hysteria, crying etc...) ahhhhhh! I WANT a cereal bar....Please mom, please. i NEED it. Cereal baarrrrrr.....a*(@^_%Q*!!

Mom: (cringing) Okay, okay, forget it. Just toast, with peanut butter.

Levi: Okay! Yummy. I love toast. And Peanut butter.

End Scene.
