Dad is pretty bummed, but he kept saying something about "hungover instructor". I'm not quite sure what the instructor guy was hanging over, but they didn't really have control of us tiny tyrants.<br />
I was so excited about going that I woke up at 5.30 and spent the whole morning running around like a lunatic. It was AWESOME!<br />
That said, Dad did get a couple good pictures of me...<br />

Meanwhile, Mom bundled Nugget up for a little run. She's really getting back to form and is finishing her runs with under 10 minute miles, which isn't bad for a lady that had a baby not quite 4 months ago. I'm pretty sure I can still beat her, though.<br />

October has been super busy so far and has just flown by. School is a lot of fun and my new teachers, Miss Julie and Miss Carol, are working hard on teaching us how to write, cut better with scissors, and learn zoo-phonics. I mostly work on playing hard with Jacob and Chase, and Zoe and Libbie some.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My social calendar really picks up in October, too, with birthday party season (which actually started in September). And I start soccer again!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Nugget has been very busy being a baby and all that entails. The day before her 3 month visit, she rolled over both ways -- front to back and back to front. It may have been an accident, but she's really perfected it now. It's made for some interesting nights -- like her waking up Mom every 90 minutes for 3 or 4 days. Or was it a week? I don't know, but Mom was tiiiired. She also found her feet. Aunt Darra tried to show her where they were the day she rolled over both ways, but Nugget wasn't into yet. Last week, she discovered them herself and is very busy holding her toes and staring at her hands while she practices princess waves.</div>

... Of the bench kind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Back in August (August 10th, if you must know), while Tia Chavie was rocking our world here, I <i>finally</i> got to do something I'd been bugging Mom about for a long time: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
GOING TO THE ER.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yup, that's right folks, the ole' Emergency Room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You see, I thought it would be a perfect way to spend a Saturday night while Dad was out of town.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After bath that night, I was so excited to get into bed and have Tia Chavie read, that I took a flying leap into the sharp, pointy corner of my bench, thus splitting my head open and leaving lots of blood on the carpet (good thing Mom wants to get rid of that carpet! Someday...), towel, Tia Chave, Tia Chavie's shirt, my shirt, my boxers (don't ask), and, generally speaking, any other light colored surface available.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After summoning Mom with my shrieks and Tia Chavie's utterance of, "Uh, Chantal, I think you need to come here."<br />
Mom: "Is he bleeding?"<br />
TC: "uh, yeah."<br />
Mom: "Oh dear lord. Jesus Christ. What happened?"<br />
Later that night Tia Chavie admitted that she might need to work on her delivery of this kind of news in future. Mom is rather hoping that it never happens again, but realist versus optimist... tomayto tomahto.<br />

Anywho. So we cut Nugget's massage short, poor kid, threw some clothes on her, threw her in the car seat, stuffed Aunt Chavie between the car seats in the back to maintain pressure, and raced off to and urgent care place called East Jefferson After Hours, which turned out to have no hours. Groan. Redirect and off to the Emergency Room.<br />
Where I got 5 stitches and a whole lot of shots of lidocaine. Mom and a nurse held me down and Tia Chavie held Mom. Nugget, incidentally, slept through the whole thing after screaming her head off in the car. The triage nurses did give me some cool stickers.<br />
And then the doctor sent us a cool bill in October.<br />
All in all, we were all troopers, me especially. Everyone pretty much agrees that I am super brave. And I have a super cool scar (that we're still treating with Mederma).<br />
While I thought about capitalizing on this incident and being Marcustein Monster for Halloween, I'm afraid Buzz Lightyear won out.<br />

Week 7 was a lot of fun, no big surprise there. Our newsletter this week summarized things pretty well and I'm going to use some of it here...Chaverim 1 pretended to be little Michaelangelos: We got to make our very own picture by drawing upside down. It was silly, and fun, and we loved every minute of it. We all asked our counselors if we could do all our art upside down.<br />

I, in turn, asked Dad to hold me upside down. By my ankles. Slightly different affect.<br />
We learned how to say mom and dad in Hebrew thanks to Mr. Tamir's teachings. I told everyone that my "sister is prettier than any girl!" Watermelon Wednesday involved one of my favorite fruits and a heckuva lot of pre-treat on my shirt.<br />

Thursday I got the all clear (on the fluid in my ears) from the pediatrician, and Mom denied me the nectar of the Gods, aka Milk Bar shake. Boo hiss, Mom. Finally, on Friday, Aunt Donna came to Oneg Shabbat and then I went home with her for a little while. Mom helped me pack the night before since I needed to bring some toys, books, and my jammies. Mom didn't quite understand that I only needed 2 cars because "Uncle Dan doesn't know how to play cars"; she mostly just found that statement very funny. I may or may not have ingested large quantities of sugar. I'm not telling. We had a a lot of fun and Aunt Donna and Uncle Dan brought me back for bedtime. Good times.<br />
Saturday and Sunday I continued to perfect my waking up early to go into Mom and Dad's room. For some reason, they are not so excited about my 5.30 and 6 am arrivals... It makes for so much more interesting of a day, so I don't get it. When I get an early start like that, it insures I hit "train wreck" status early enough in the day to exhaust everyone. I did go to Dad's soccer game on Saturday and had fun holding down the bench, but Sunday I was mostly just a Betty Bunny handful.montlanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15606724605942901781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539462105651834573.post-82340512333307626222013-07-22T10:50:00.003-07:002013-07-22T10:53:39.952-07:00Divine Miss AThe lovely Miss Aliza finally arrived on July 2, 2013 at 6.03 pm.<br />

She weighed in at a hefty 5 pounds 14 ounces but was almost as long as me when I hatched. She came home on the 4th of July and the country club celebrated with fireworks.<br />
I was busy having a blast with Gramma, otherwise known as Super Gramma, who really kept me thoroughly entertained and crafted for 2 weeks. I was also busy with that nasty cold I mentioned in an earlier post, so I guess I was kind of keeping Gramma busy, too. She let me practice taking pictures with her camera, which was a lot of fun:<br />

And we picked up leaves and did other gardening every day. We ate banana pancakes almost every day and talked to Grampa, too. We generally had a really awesome time while Mom and Dad were at the hospital and figuring out which way was up the first week home. (I'm not actually sure they know which way is up yet, but they do seem to be keeping our names straight. For now.)<br />
I think Aliza is pretty awesome, though it has been a little bit of an adjustment, and I'm still not crazy about this whole sharing Mom thing.<br />

Mostly, I'm just a really great big brother and love trying to help her be happy if she's crying and holding her. (NOTE: Mom did kind of freak out this morning when I picked her up with out asking for help... something or other about her neck and breathing being important). I enjoy coughing on everyone right now, but am trying really hard not to cough on her -- since apparently germs are not something I should share. Rules, rules, rules. Share this, not that. So hard to keep it all straight.<br />
There's really too many pictures to share, but here's a few we like:<br />

Also, Pop Pop is visiting and at the end of the week we went to my first ever movie at the theater! Dad, Pop Pop , and I saw most of Monsters University. I say most because I don't really see the need to stay for a whole movie.<br />
And I spent a lot of time hanging out with Aliza and being super cute.<br />

Mom said that I'm getting lots of compliments from the lifeguards and counselors about what a strong swimmer I am. Yay me. I've advanced to level 3 in my swimming, which means I get to work on rotary breathing, among other skills. I'm stoked to swim laps with Mom.<br />
This week we also got to bring home some new friends -- complete with birth certificates! Meet Khaki. We think he's a rottweiler.<br />

Good times! Mom's favorite part of the Shabbat service, which includes skits, singing, and a slideshow of the week, was the older kids doing a riff on Icona Pop's I Love It that included lines like "I put sunscreen on my skin. Because I don't want to burn. I got into my car and drove to the J-C-C..." complete with some awesome YMCA-esque arm movements. Mom and I had a great time boogying to it in our seat!<br />
Here it is:<br />

I'm stoked.<br />
We decided that she probably needs an official non-Nugget name. So here's what we came up with:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large; font-style: italic;">Aliza</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-small;">for Oma/Liza, Hebrew name meaning joyful</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Hailey</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;">for Nana's mom</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;"><i>Rose</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-small;">for Dad's Grandma and Leslie's favorite flower</span></i></div>
<br />
I think Mom and Dad realize that Aliza will probably still be called Nugget, even though we have 3 names to choose from. I'm kind of partial to Rosie, like Caillou's little sister.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And at least Mom and Dad didn't go all Uma Thurman with her name (<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2012/10/uma-thurmans-daughter-has-seven-names/" target="_blank">Uma Thurman’s Daughter Has Seven Names</a>)...<br />
In the mean time, I'm busy helping Mom prepare for my new sister's arrival!<br />

The counselors are all very kind, sweet, and funny. My favorite is Miss Shayla, who is actually the assistant director -- she likes me a lot and does a great Thing 2 impersonation. This week was Dr. Suess week, which ended with the counselors doing a funny skit based on <i>Oh, The Places You Will Go</i>. Amazing what substituting in the name Mordechai can do to a story...<br />

We need a few prints still (Nugget is really giving Mom a hard time about getting hand printed at this stage), and we're going to get prints from a few other folks for Phase 2.<br /> Thanks, everybody - my big boy room is looking pretty awesome!<br /> xoxo.montlanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15606724605942901781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539462105651834573.post-78136029667153790312013-05-12T18:29:00.000-07:002013-06-15T08:17:30.585-07:00Happy Mom's Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Dear Mom,<br />
I wanted to wish you a happy mama's day. You gave me life. And I gave you chronic sleep deprivation. You gave me awesome cars from CVS. And I gave you a lifelong aversion to crawfish. You gave me red hair. And I gave you grey ones.<br />
I could go on, but you get the idea... It all balances out, right?<br />
We had fun making cards to send to everyone -- I'm glad your card came on time. Nugget says she enjoyed her photo shoot, too. And that she enjoyed signing her real name for everyone.<br />
love.<br />
Marcus (and Aliza)<br />

And then he was having so much fun that he stayed an extra week!<br />
Here's a run down of how it went:<br />
week 1: Mom dragged Pop Pop to school every day so he could help with the school fundraiser. He loved it. Who knew that those surgical skills would come in so handy for preparing sliced strawberries for 500? Pop Pop showed off his mad grilling skills and taught Dad about actually cleaning the grill.<br />

week 2: I let Pop Pop relax a little more and sleep until at least 6.30. Just kidding. More like 6.45. That doesn't mean I slept that late... We went for some long walks around the neighborhood, we went to gymnastics and the Children's Museum, did some backyard swimming, painted my awesome castle, and assembled Ikea bookcases so that I could move into my awesome-cool-new room. I introduced Pop Pop to the joys of the Pelican Point car wash.<br />

week 3: I let Pop Pop sleep until like 7 am. He reminded me how delicious bagels with cream cheese are. We spent a day downtown: haircuts for Dad and me, then the aquarium, then Pinkberry. I reintroduced Pop Pop to Pelican Point and showed him where the cool cars are at CVS. Dad and Pop Pop had a date night while me and Mom had a date night. We all went for sushi. And more Pinkberry!<br />

Love the cool 3D action. Mom said it was really neat in 4D and that Nugget waved hello. I suspect she may have just been waving off those pesky paparazzi, but don't tell Mom.<br />
Next week, we all get to go skiing -- lucky Nugget: Mom's ski pants still fit so she doesn't have to miss out on the action. The very easy, green, blue, and bunny hill action, for those of you worried that Mom might be hitting the Black Diamonds. Dad has, however, offered to take me on the real trails. Of course, he also started calling me Bode*...<br />
<br />
* You may not want to google Bode Miller right now. Suffice to say, he is a great downhill skier whose personal life might leave a little to be desired.montlanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15606724605942901781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539462105651834573.post-3430359665588156092013-01-10T16:01:00.003-08:002013-01-10T16:01:55.003-08:00Marcus at the Barber Shop<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He goes and spends time at home with each kid in my class; he stayed with us for most of December and I'm hoping he comes back soon! Here's a copy of his journal entry for school.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
What a busy month! I moved in with Marcus and his family on December 3rd, and we got to spend some quality family and holiday time together. Marcus did a really good job taking me places, and we had so much fun playing together. He’s very good at sharing! Marcus’s mom took lots of pictures, so let’s take a walk down memory lane…<br />

As our time continued, Marcus introduced me to many of his toys and proved to me why “Hazard” really is his middle name (as if that bike ride and close encounter with Evan hadn’t already). We rode tricycles, fire trucks, shopping carts, swings, and shoulders and played dress up and dance party. Marcus’s mom read to us a lot in funny voices and introduced us to this great song called “Jessie’s Girl” by Rick Springfield; we LOVE it and listened it to over and over and over again. Until the iPad would stop working – so odd that kept happening. Marcus, his Dad, and I Skyped with his aunt, cousins, and grandparents after breakfast most days, which was fun. We cleaned house and ran errands to the library, Whole Foods, and Sams.<br />
