I guess it’s time to start thinking about how to address race with Hazel. Me : hazel, what did you want for dinner? Hazel : sushi! African-american lady next to us, joking: Pizza! Me: hmm, that sounds good, what do you think Hazel? Hazel: sushi.

Hazel and I had a great day at the science and natural history museum yesterday. Saw the Endeavor for the first time, which was cool for sure. A little bummed to learn there is no way to see inside.

I need to start parking on the other side of the.museum, where I can get in and out without going through the gift shop….

Hazel picked the girliest balloon animal possible

Hazel had very strong opinions again on her clothing this morning.

Hazel wanted to ride her scooter to Popo’s house. I drove her around the corner, then we scootered there. Popo came out, and was helping Hazel with the scooter. I gave her a hug goodbye, started walking to the car. I turned to take a

Daddy medicine for a beat up chin.

I guess I got a little overconfident on Hazels playground skills.

Thanks grandma and grandpa. Hazel still loves her birthday gift. We went to the aquarium again today. Right now, she loves (to the point of ignoring a lot of other stuff) the touch exhibits. Today, she touched jellyfish, anemones, star fish, sea cucumbers, horned sharks

She wanted to take my picture. I actually have an old point and shoot I think I’ll give her.

Jam

Guess who liked daddy’s grape jam?

So we could play with the toy trains identical to the one we have at home. In our living room.

"I’m climbing a MOUNTAIN!"

It’s not like climbing real rock, but pulling plastic is good training. She actually got off the ground on the overhang, but I was slow with the camera and it didn’t happen again.

Now here, and she won’t leave my shoulder. Sick toddlers are tough

For a little girl who just projectile vomited all over Starbucks. She is in a good mood, getting restless in the house, but not keeping anything down. I thought she was maybe better this morning. I asked her what she wanted for breakfast, and she

Good thing she had a designated driver.

I’ve had a stomach bug for the last 2 days, and it appears I’ve given it to Hazel. She threw up this morning. Lots. Then I had to use the restroom, and came out to find her asleep on the dining room chair. Pretty unusual

just a little comparison. I think Jennifer was a few months short of 2 in the photo, and Hazel is 2 years and 4 months. Tried to get the size close.

Hazel was saying thank you grandma and grandpa in this photo, but I didnt have enough room on my hpone to.get video. The blocks are really, really nice.

We hadn’t been talking at all today about dad/grandpa, but she just picked up this teenage mutant ninja turtle watch set, and said, very seriously "I think grandpa will like this. "

Hazel was playing with tinker toys on her own, and made this. She called it her "sun".

Just a photo I like a lot of Hazel, really getting into music time at the Kid’s museum.

I had fun playing photographer while hazel played at the zoo today.

Rapt attention for the fossil talk.
