It's a Hard Day's Night.....Strawberry Picking!

As one of the last outings for Moses's Toddler 1 class, they went strawberry picking. 

Moses was quite the strawberry picker.

"I have to try one to make sure they are good enough to pick."

"I'm on a break, so I can enjoy another strawberry!"

After a hard day (or more like 30 minutes) of strawberry picking, the troops enjoyed some more delicious strawberries!

"Here's my bucket to prove how hard I worked!"

Notice that the bucket isn't completely full.  Moses enjoyed a few too many strawberries on the job.

Oodles of Noodles

Moses is quite the eater.  However, when it comes to noodles, it becomes something quite different.  Let's just say it's easier to strip the crazy monkey to his skivvies. 

"I'm saving the noodles on my chest for later."

"What?!  I'm just enjoying my dinner!"

"Would you like some noodles?  I have plenty!"

"YEAH!!  I LOVE NOODLES!"

And this is the damage.  Do you think he got any noodles in his mouth?

We LOVE You, Grandpa Joel!!!

In May, we went to services to remember Grandpa Joel.  It's hard to believe that it's already been 7 years since his passing.  We remember him everyday!

"WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH, GRANDPA JOEL!"

Here's three generations of Kaplowitz boys.

Good Times with Good Friends

On the last weekend in May, we headed to Old Towne with some of Moses's buddies.  We had a great time with some good friends, good and music!

Here are the Daddies and the toddlers.

One Fish, Two Fish......in the pool

9In May, Moses and a couple of his buddies started swim lessons.  He is quite the fish in water.

He has definitely gotten the hang of kicking his legs.

"This is a piece of cake!"

"GULP! GULP! I can even go under water with ease!"

"See I still got a smile on my face!"

"I can even jump out of water and knock down a turtle!"

"NO WAY!!  Fish don't float on their backs unless it's the end!!  I AM NOT GOING TO DO THIS!"

"Look at me!  I AM MOSES! I'm walking on water!"

"High Five Ryden for a great swim!"

Here's a family portrait with our little fish!

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream

Since Moses has a dairy allergy, he can't enjoy real ice cream, but he can enjoy tofutti.

"Don't bother me! This is my first bite ever of ice cream!"

"YUMMMMMMY!!!  That was AMAZING!"

The funny thing is that after this picture, Moses didn't want anymore of the ice cream.  Guess he had his sweet tooth fill.

Artist in Training

 One afternoon, Moses got an inspiration for a masterpiece.  So we set his inspiration and creativity loose with some paint!

  

"Oh how I love my tools that speak for me so well!"

" A true artist is always a little messy!"

"My masterpiece is done!"

Chugga-Chugga-Choo-Choo

The Easter Bunny (aka Hal-ah-pu-jee and Hal-muh-nee) got Moses a train set and table.  We had it all set up for him when he got up from his nap.   



 "What is that down there?   Is that for me?!"

  

He was pretty overwhelmed and excited.  There was so much to look at and play with that Moses wasn't quite sure where to start.

After a while, he was pretty comfortable and was a train conducting pro! 

Choo-Choo!

Thank you Hal-ah-puh-jee and Hal-muh-nee!

The Easter Bunny comes to town....

On Easter weekend, Moses got a visit from Uncle Jerry instead of the Easter Bunny.  He was a little hesitant about his Uncle Jerry but once Jerry let him play with his Ipad, Moses was in love!

Here's some silly photos they took with the Ipad.

"I'll MISS you, Uncle Jerry.....and your Ipad too!"
