Optimus Prime has nothing on this cute face.
This was one of Dylan's transformer-themed presents. He's never seen the movie, or a Transformer cartoon for that matter (mostly because he doesn't seem to care much about either), but he loves the merchandise. Go figure.
Bumblebee also made an appearance.
In September, Dylan was crazy about Star Wars. This came right after a Toy Story craze that was preceded by Transformers and Disney Cars. Green Lantern and Captain America made brief obsessive appearances and a little Star Wars and Transformers worked their way in the mix.
He has now returned his focus to Cars. Clearly, his obsessions are cyclical and I wouldn't be surprised in the least if they correlate with the latest movie release and accompanying merchandise.
Lo the power of advertising.
the favorite present that he can't quite figure out how to ride...
patience Little D, patience
On Dylan's actual birthday we invited over grandparents who we figured really didn't want to go to the Tempe Beach Splash Park and sweat with the rest of us who had to be there.
This was Amelia's impromptu birthday game for the grandmas and grandpas to play. We didn't pin the tail on Amelia, by the way. She drew a donkey for us to use. But when the excitement over that version fizzled out, she snuck around the room and taped donkey tails to the pants of unsuspecting adults.
On Labor Day weekend, Dylan's party was silly and wet, full of kids spraying each other and parents shooing away the pigeons.
(We didn't invite the pigeons, but they crashed the party anyway, and Evan was wishing that we had brought our b.b. gun along with the ice cream sandwiches.)
Here's to one year older, one year cuter, one year smarter, and one year cooler!
