The Mountains

Mommy wanted to go camping, for her birthday, so we went up to Shenandoah National Park.

Zula really got into hiking this time.

She hiked 2.6 miles!

I liked throwing rocks in the stream.

Happy birthday, Mommy!

Granddady!

Granddaddy came to visit recently. We biked into Georgetown for a picnic lunch near the river.

I hear he's coming back for my birthday!

I Belong at Zula's School

Mommy and I went to E.L. Haynes for Asian Heritage Day.

There was a dragon there!

There were cool Indian stick dancers, too.

Do you think if I sit here they'll think I'm part of the class?

The principals wear cool outfits at this place. And they seem to like me!

Gidi's "Graduation"

Well, my first school year has come to an end, and my class celebrated by performing at a festival of all the city's public co-op preschools.

Yeah, that's me sitting at the back. I didn't really feel like putting on the yellow shirt or singing the song. Did anyone mention I'm about to turn two?

I do like circle time, however.

I know all the motions for "Wheels on the Bus"!

Here's my class "graduating" on the last day. I didn't really feel like wearing the cap. I mean, who are we kidding? 

Oh, there's candy in this bag? 

Okay, I'll wear the hat.

I'll take the snack, too, while I'm at it.

The Three Dancing Princesses

Recently I happened upon these two princesses in my living room, and I snuck into a picture with them. Do you think they'll notice that I'm not dressed up?

Later, my real sister reappeared and snuggled on the couch with me with some chocolate milk...
