Vivi's sentences

Vivi is talking in sentences. Some of my favorites.....

1. I'll be back (runs away and runs right back) I come back! (over and over and over again)
2. I go walking. (I want to walk or I am walking)
3. I want all done. (translation: I am all done and I want to get down)
4. I want no on. (translation: I want to take this shirt/pants/hat/jacket off)
5. Happy Happy Happy Happy Vivi (translation: Happy Birthday Vivi!)
6. No Vivi. I want Momma. (translation: No, I don't want the little cracker/cookie/piece of cheese. I want the big piece. Apparently Vivi is what she calls "small" and Momma is what she calls "big" - this is true of food, animals, buttons, etc.)

Penguins and Robots

I bet you didn't know Daddy teaches Penguins! Here's a picture of one.

We went to see their robots compete - they are team 1717. The robot is playing frisbee.

I wore my penguin shirt and carried around two penguins all day. Here I'm waving black and white pom poms around.

This is the championship game. They WON! first place.
