Giving Thanks

Captain X has much to be thankful for....from wonderful aunts, uncles, cousins and especially grandparents (far and near) to a very caring nanny which his parents are very grateful for. This Thanksgiving, Captain was very fortunate to have both his Lola (Daddy's mommy) as well as Ba Di 6 (Mommy's auntie) at Thanksgiving dinner. After dinner, they couldn't wait to have their pictures taken with Captain X.



The day after Thanksgiving, Captain X (with both parents) we to get a Christmas Tree at a Christmas Tree farm,. Granted, we were a bit lost for about 15 minutes... We made it to the farm and pick-up our noble fir tree. YAY! This was Captain X's first Christmas Tree! He was fascinated with the little twinkling lights and all the cool ornaments that could be hung on the tree. Captain X was so excited, be picked up a glass ornament (One of precious ornaments from her collection). It's okay, he's learned a great deal from that little experiment... glass ornaments don't bounch.

Captain X's New Ride?

Not likely for some time! Captain X went with Daddy and Auntie Tiffany to the annual motorcycle show. It was loads of fun, including the chance to sit on this little sportbike number. Shhh....don't tell Grandma, she would freak out!

Look closely, Captain X's feet wasn't even long enough to touch the pedals, but resting it on the motor is sufficient enough. Vroom, Vroom!!!!

Who's Up For Playstation?

Who's up for some Playstation? This is just too cute and had to be shared. Captain X saw his daddy playing on the Playstation and just had to have his own control. Hehee hehee... he thought that his control actually was making something move! I guess it was only in due time when his gamer side would come out... but, then what do you expect as an offspring from a couple of RPG gamers as parents?

Future Musician in the Making?

Captain X has been doing a lot of dancing and singing, and now he's become interested in musical instrument. So, when we were visiting cousin Megan and Maddie before the trick-or-treating in the park and what did Captain X spot? A piano! Mega's piano! So, he had to touch the keys, bang out a couple of tunes (no, we're just kidding. He just loved to tickle the keys a bit)... Could this be a future musician in the making? Only time will tell!

Meanwhile, we'll be looking into some sort of a music and movement class or tumbling class for Captain X now that we're taking a break from swim class for the winter season.

A Disguise Within a Disguise (and Post-Halloween Wrap-up!)

What was Captain X dressed up for Halloween? A ninja, in stealth mode! Well, he wouldn't wear his neato armor piece that was part of his costume, but he was a ninja nonetheless! We just called his costume as an underdressed ninja. Captain X had tons of fun with his cousins the weekend before Halloween and went trick-or-treating at cousin Maddie and Megan's neighborhood park! But, he didn't want to carry his Elmo candy bucket, so his cousin Jenna carried it for him instead. Jenna was a lion (roar!), Maddie was a ladybug, Megan was a pirate (arrgh!), Alex was such a cute witch, and Blake was a Storm Trooper. Everyone had lots of fun and then after the trick-or-treating all the cousins went to play in the playground. Weeeee, fun for all!



Then, the very next day Mommy and Daddy took Captain X to the same big pumpkin patch that they took him to last year (but, he was too young to remember). This year, Di Sau (Mommy's aunt) join us, too! There was so much to do...we went on a train ride, the checked out all the pumpkins, and there was a carousel ride - first with Mommy and then with Daddy. Last year, he didn't know what to make of the giant pumpkins (they were bigger and taller than him, but this year Captain X wanted to lift one of the big pumpkins with his bare hands!
