JD's Swimming Adventures: 1st Swim Class

Saturday was JD's 1st swim class! He did a lot better than we expected, but he was still a little hesitant and held on tight the whole time. Hopefully with a few more trips to the pool and a few more lessons he will begin to feel a little more comfortable in the water, but for now we're just happy that he enjoyed the being in the pool!

YO GABBA GABBA LIVE!

JD's aunties, Mari and Gabi are huge Yo GABBA GABBA fans and since JD spends half of his week with auntie Mari he's also become a fan of YGG (his name is Julian and he likes to dance). So needless to say when they found out that YGG was coming to the NOKIA Theater at L.A. Live in November, they insisted that we had to take JD. So today after a week of "you haaaave to take JD to see YO GABBA GABBA!" I caved in and bought tickets for the five of us! Tickets go on sale to the general public on June 6th 2010 at 10:00am (Ticketmaster), but if you have an AMEX (American Express) card you can purchase tickets now for $36-$46 (Orchestra Level).

There's a Party in Your City!

JD’s Carnival Party: The Birthday Boy

Although I’m sure that JD had no idea that this party was for him, I really do feel that he had a great time. I was running around so much that I actually had no idea how much fun he was having, he mingled with his guest and he played carnival games and had tons of carnival food; I don’t think he sat down for more than a second and he didn’t even take a nap until all his guests were gone, what a good little host!  

The birthday boy...

Where is everyone?

I'll just snack on these tickets until they get here!

I guess I just have to be patient!

I think I see people over there...

 

Yay! They're here!

It's time to party!

I'm so happy everyone is here!

Let's say "hi" to everyone

I've got my tickets, it's time to play!

I love bubbles!

I like your style Lulu!

All mine!

I think I need a nap!
