Happy Chinese New Year - 2009 - Year of the Ox

Helen has been practicing "Ni hao" (Mandarin Chinese for "hello") so she could bust it out for this little video during Chinese New Year. She's getting it down pretty well, don't you think?


Helen was playing with her Little People House this week. The happy couple above represents her choice of a Dada and a Mama to live in the house. I'm the one on the right, Saxophone Steve, thank you very much.


Working the winter duds for sledding.




The very best FIVE BUCKS I've spent in recent memory (well, there was that banana chocolate chip bundt cake...hmm...) was on this line up right here. Despite the fact that the Jaguar is missing, these vehicles are capable of keeping a two year old busy for at least, and I'm not exaggerating here, 20 minutes. I should probably write Matchbox Cars a thank-you note.
