I Want to Ride My Bicycle

Dad keeps saying that my Chariot is designed to be pulled rather than pushed, but until today I didn't believe him. (He also says I've ridden in it that way before, but I don't remember a thing.) Bundled up in lots of warm clothes and a quilted stroller-bag, it was a little chilly, a little scary... and a lot of fun! I'm inspired to practice my latest word: "bicycle".

I Has a Bucket

Iz mah bukkit.

Back in the MSDF

It's my first day back in the MSDF. I played all day without a single "No mouth" or "Not for babies". Despite that, it was still pretty fun.

Mom and Dad stayed with me the whole day. If they enroll full-time, do I get a referral bonus?

I habb a code

Five weeks with Rebecca and Penelope taking turns being sick at home, and I'm fine. Two hours visiting daycare, and now I have a cold. And I got off easy: During my absence, the MSDF had a bout of bronchitis and a stomach flu that emptied entire rooms. Maybe I don't need to learn how to shave after all.

You can't go home again

After six weeks of quarantine to keep me healthy for surgery, Mom and Dad finally took me to visit my friends in the Minimum Security Daycare Facility. My room's been completely rearranged, and some of my friends are walking! And had birthdays! Next time I see them Zian will probably be shaving.

In and Out of the Clink

After two weeks on furlough, I was actually starting to look forward to running with the gang in the MSDF, but by the end of the first day I had a medical release. I have to be completely healthy for several weeks before surgery, and in the pre-toddler room, the only things running are noses.

Holiday Hearing

The wardens brought all the parents into the MSDF for a big holiday parole hearing, with snacks. Olivia's grandpa was apparently squeezing a cat inside a bag with pipes poking out of it. He was wearing an outfit called a "kilt," possibly named after what happens to the cat.

But I was granted a 2-week furlough, so I'm not complaining.

Back in the Clink

My week-long furlough is over, and I have a new MSDF cellmate, Butch. I'll teach her to sit up, and then we're taking over this joint.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em

Rebecca came to visit me at the Minimum Security Daycare Facility. The warden let me out on furlough, so I gave Rebecca a tour of the grounds before we took it on the lam. Too bad we couldn't reach the latch on the gate.

Rebecca keeps asking to come back and play again. I guess it's a pretty sweet gig, for a detention center.

I Hab Anodder Code

Since I've been visiting daycare so much the last two weeks, they gave me a prize to bring home: a cold! I shared it with Mom and Dad, because I'm just that generous.

Jailhouse Rock

Mom and Dad are gone, Warden Maria! Par-tay! I'll pretend I didn't hear them chortling as they sped away.

I showed them. I had fun, got nice and tired, and was all ready for a good cry when Mom picked me up.

Excitement Unbounded

I'm headed to the Minimum Security Daycare Facility for my first full day today. I can hardly contain my excitement.

Having a Ball

Tummy time is more fun when there's loot involved. If I can reach it, it's mine, right? I've got to learn to crawl.

Wiggle Room

I start my stint at the Minimum Security Daycare Facility next week, so Mom and Dad took me to visit today. I wiggled on a fluffy rug, and Dad read me Goodnight Moon. I also met a couple of fellow inmates, and get this: they can crawl. I've got to get them to teach me that; it looks useful for my ultimate plan.

Welcome to the Orchard

The Minimum Security Daycare Facility held a welcome breakfast. We met some of the inmates I'll be sharing a room with in October, and I spent some time playing with Warden Maria. She knows the "fly" game just like Dad, and she'll play it in exchange for smiles! Who would have guessed?

The other babies in my ward are all much bigger than I am. I figure that means I'll get the most flights. There are advantages to being svelte.

I feel pretty, oh so pretty!

We visited the Minimum Security Daycare Facility again. Mom and Dad attended a boring meeting, I got to try yet another new place to eat, and then we went to hang out with a nice lady who'll be my warden when I start my stint in the fall. So far there's only one other inmate, but I'll have to share Maria with a total of 5 others by the time I get there. I'm not worried, though, 'cause I'm the cutest.

Soon I will be invincible

Mom and Dad scoped out the Google Minimum Security Day Care Facility where I can develop my plot to take over the world in comfortable obscurity.

They have nifty toys, the staff are really nice, and the snacks are made by a dedicated Google cafe chef.

Plots are tricky things. This could take a while.
