All four California cousins

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

The four California cousins get busy in toyland (aka our living room).

Oscar hits the slide

Dueling Conductors

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Oscar and Mo conduct the orchestra with their drinking straws. Mo says “Massachusetts.”

Mo has a straw for his Mango Lassi.  A few minutes later he broke out into hives, 2nd time this week.  First time was also after eating fresh mango… so I think we are going to limit his mango intake from now on.

Lazy Sunday morning

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

Oscar surveys the neighborhood while Mommy reads Pickle-Chiffon Pie to Moses.

Jumping beans

Monday, March 16th, 2009

For a while, Oscar thought jumping was laugh-out-loud funny.  Moses jumps around to make Oscar crack up.

Cooking with Lilah

Corinne and Lilah have a pretty awesome play kitchen.  Mo gets cookin’.

The planets align

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

The planets align more often than Mo and Oscar’s naptimes.

But it does happen once in a while.  Video proof:

If memory serves, Oscar woke up about two minutes after Mommy shot this footage.

Mo on drums

Monday, January 12th, 2009

I picked up this great Gretsch kit on Craigslist from a Berkeley High kid who was suffering from teen angst and lost interest in playing.  We set it up in the basement.  Mo gets a little frustrated that he can’t reach the pedals for the hi-hats and the kick drum, but he still has a lot of fun playing.

Oddly enough, he will only perform for immediate family.  The kid’s only two and he already has performance anxiety.  If anyone else is in the room he sorta shuts down and lets the drumsticks fall to the ground.
