Little Chef

"Today I'm going to teach you how to make corn cob soup."

 

"You need to get Mama's help with shucking the corn. 

It helps to have a pretend sword fight with the 2 ears of corn before you start, too."

 

"After Mama takes the kernels for whatever she's making, put the 2 corn cobs into a pot."

"Stir vigorously."

 

"Cover the pot and put it back into the cabinet for awhile. 

Take this time to play with blocks, wind up cars, or a fish puzzle. 

Or, do as I do and play with all of the above."

"After your toys are sufficiently played with, you'll want to check both corn cobs for tenderness."

 "You'll know it's ready when you don't put the cobs back in the pot."

 

 "The perfect meal for teething!"

Fireworks

 "Look, look! I have shoes on with my pajamas! 

Mama and Daddy are taking me out past my bedtime!"

 "Somehow I thought something more interesting goes on after bedtime. 

Instead we're just on this field."

 "But it looks like I'll get a lot of extra Daddy time tonight, so I can't complain."

 

"Daddy?"

 "Is this my new bed? Because I think I could get used to this." 

"Well, Mama's clearly excited about something. 

I guess I'll keep my eyes open for something new."

 "And the first something new? Cotton candy! I approve - 5 stars."

 "Glowy thingy! New thing #2! Will there be more? 

Something called fireworks? I'm intrigued."

"Mama? Daddy and I talked and we agreed. That flash is too bright. 

Stop taking pictures and just tell people that I liked the fireworks. A LOT."

Taste the rainbow

"A little more blue..."

"A little more red..."

"Did I just make a new color?"

"I bet purple tastes really good."

"Yup."

Swiper, no swiping

Diego: "So, Goat, do you just climb up here like this?"

Goat: "Tasty hat almost in reach...just a little closer..."

Diego: "What do you think you're doing?"

Goat: "Nothing, man. Yeah, just climb up on that chair."

Farmer Diego

"Welcome to one of my favorite places to play - Davis Farmland!"

"Follow me as I guide you through what I like to think of as 'Old Diego's Farm.' 

It goes a little something like this:"

Old Diego had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

And on this farm he had a DONKEY, e-i-e-i-o

With a HEE-HAW here and a HEE-HAW there.

Here a HEE-HAW, there a HEE-HAW, 

Everywhere a HEE-HAW, 
Old Diego had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

Old Diego had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

And on this farm he had a SHEEP, e-i-e-i-o

With a BAA-BAA here and a BAA-BAA there.

Here a BAA-BAA, there a BAA-BAA, 

Everywhere a BAA-BAA, 
Old Diego had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

Old Diego had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

And on this farm he had a PEACOCK, e-i-e-i-o

With a...With a..."Mama, what does a peacock say?"

"I'm still waiting Mama. What does a peacock say?" 

(Sorry, Diego. I have no idea. I'll wait for you to get distracted.)

"Oooh, a goat!"

Old Diego had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

And on this farm he had a GOAT, e-i-e-i-o.

With a NEEAAH-NEEAAH here,

And a NEEAAH-NEEAAH there,

Here a NEEAAH-NEEAAH,

There a NEEAAH-NEEAAH,

Everywhere a NEEAAH-NEEAAH!

Old Diego had a farm, 

E-I-E-I-O!

"Thanks for singing with us! 

I'm going to focus on petting this goat now. This very soft baby pygmy goat."

"I like goats."

Anniversary

"Oh hi. Looks like it will be a year tomorrow since Mama shared our first adventures in 'solid' food."

"Yeah, I sorta remember that. Oatmeal, right?"

"I think I've come a long way in a year, learning new things and eating a lot of different foods.  

But you already know that."

"What you might not know is that 2 years ago yesterday, 

I made my presence known to Mama and Daddy for the first time."

"I've definitely come a long way from just 2 pink lines on a stick*!"

*Technically, it was a total of 10 lines.
