Got Me Good

Today while I was washing the walls Von came up to me and growled. He's into trying to scare us. Well, he did. I freak out and screamed. When my brain finally relized it was just Von, who was now crying, I looked at him and started laughing. "You scared me, didn't you?" I said to him. Von then started to laugh too.

Vroom!

For Von's Birthday he got a four wheeler from Aunt Becki. He loves cars. He will drive his hot rods all around the house. He then gets on his four wheeler and watches Bob the Builder.

Look Dad Look

So we decided that we were going to go the zoo today. Being the smart people we are, we went as soon as they opened and before it was hot. We made our way through the new Dinosaur exhibit (photos) and then I made a restroom stop; Lori and Von went on to the Elephants. As soon as I got out Von summoned me over, pulled on my shirt and pointed to the elephants. We had been past this exhibit many times before, but this time he actually noticed them. He had to make sure I saw how cool they were. Seems like every time we go, he's fascinated by something different. 

Von Meets Elmo

We took Von to "When Elmo Grows Up" today. For the first half of the show he just sat on Lori's lap and had this look on his face like "holy crap...they're real!" He sat there with his mouth open staring at the stage. Finally after intermission and going down to get an Elmo balloon he totally got into it, clapping and dancing. I think he had a good time. If nothing else Lori and I had a blast taking him.

Tired Out

After a morning at the pool in Mexico Von was ready for his nap. When he saw Uncle Mike come out he waved to him, ran over and jump in his lap. One wheel around the pool and he was sleeping.

I'm Telling...Leave Me Alone

Aunt Becki, Grandpa Knofler and Daddy were agrevating Von by traping him inbetween their legs and not letting him go. Once he got free he ran over to Grandma Knofler, climbed on her lap and started telling on them. He then pointed his finger at Aunt Becki and with a dirty look on his face told on her.
