Don't bother us -- we're working

Tending to clients' needs 24/7!

Boom!

I went boom while on a walk! At least I got a fun band aid for my trouble.

Can you hear me now?

Good!

Dave, let me help you get comfortable

This is a great rocking chair (thanks, Tracy!). I really like it. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, too.

This is a real milestone

This is my 1,100th post on my blog. Not bad for a toddler! Not bad at all.

And not bad considering I'm only 920 days old!

There's a new tradition in our house

Mommy comes home and I demand that she take off her pearls and put them on me. Mommy said I have excellent taste. They're Mikimoto, after all.

Baba took this picture of me - and mommy loves it

Pure innocence. Absolute perfection.

With summer coming up, I'm preparing early

First things first -- new sunglasses! Seahorses are so very stylish.

Where did Caroline go?

Tee hee hee!

RockSugar!

Mommy loves this restaurant called RockSugar in the Century City Mall that features Pan-Asian cuisine. She was pretty sure daddy would love it too, even though daddy doesn't like Asian cuisine. Turns out she was right -- and she got a bonus in that I loved it, too! Here I am dipping my flatbread into their delicious red sauce. I also had some potstickers and some of mommy's claypot beef. I topped it off with the chocolate ice cream that accompanied daddy's banana-caramel cake and about half of mommy's creme brulee! Now that's a tasty treat.

I would totally go back.

It's my half birthday RIGHT NOW!

So where is my ice cream cake?

Caroline logic: if I wear your shoes, you can't leave for work

What's this you say? You have other shoes? DRATS!

Oh my DOG!

Shoes. Clothes. Hair clips. Welcome to LA!

MP3s!

Mommy listens to an MP3 player when she goes to the gym. I asked to listen to it, too.

I loved it! I immediately learned how to wrap the armband around my arm and listen to the ear buds. I even learned how to operate the song selection and volume controls! Naturally, it took me mere seconds to learn that -- I'm 2 and therefore more technologically advanced than any adult.

Happy birthday, Daddy!

Here is a song for you:

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm feeling a little bashful.

Amma taught me how to do the crab walk!

After I walk like a crab, I pinch like one, too! Gotta play the part!

Then I perused the book in greater detail myself

It's even better than I initially thought.

I read daddy my new book!

Mommy's friends and their fun little boy bought me a fun magnetic alphabet book that features an animal that correspondends to each letter of the alphabet! What a great learning tool. And what an entertaining book!

Happiness is...

A foot bath with L'Occitane lavendar bath wash.

Yeah, I can operate an iPhone

I can even offer you a tutorial if you need one. My favorite thing to do, though, is to scroll through pictures. Especially when said pictures involve kitty cats.

Yep, I'll call you out on that

Daddy was doing something silly and mommy called him an amateur. And I repeated it. Again and again. Everything daddy did, I asked him if he was an amateur. It was very funny. He laughed. A lot. And who could blame him?! I'm little Miss Personality!

I have turned into a CREATURE.

Mommy has always been so proud of how polite and proper I am. I always say please and thank you and dutifully do what I should. Then I got the flu last week and apparently turned into someone else. I didn't want to eat all weekend and I insisted on spitting out all of the food I was given, regardless of whether I asked for it and regardless of how much I otherwise like it. And it was clear to mommy and daddy that I knew exactly what I was doing, because I would smile right at them when I did it. I didn't want to drink anything other than water. That effectively meant I didn't want to consume any calories at all. Of course, this also means I lost weight - about 2 lbs. - and I have skinny little chicken leggies now. And that's not all. I started hitting (what?!) and kicking (whaaaat?!) and pitching fits. And this all happened overnight, with no warning. That left mommy and daddy wondering what on earth happened to their sweet little Caroline! Some have said I'm hitting the horrible threes. Mommy and daddy are hoping it is just a weekend thing and that I will revert back to my normal self.

Update: it was just a weekend thing. I'm back to myself now. Phew!

TINKERBELL SOCKS!!

Daddy saw these socks and knew that I would love them. He couldn't have been more right! I'm just kookoo for Tinkerbell!

Amma always brings me things

She always puts my presents in her red bag. Now I know to go straight for the bag when she gets here. Oh, the goodies!

Okay, who put the lion and the zebra in my bed?!

Lucky for you, I like these guys!

Monkeys fling poop?!

This was news to me.

Mommy and I were talking about my monkeys when my one of my monkeys needed to poop. Mommy agreed to take monkey to the bathroom. Then she asked if monkey was going to fling his poop. This perplexed me. I asked why on earth my monkey would fling his poop. She explained that monkeys do this. I demanded proof. She went to YouTube for demonstrative evidence:

Enjoy the video! I laughed so hard I almost pee'd my pants!

Daddy was gone last week for work -- AGAIN

The only nice thing about him being gone is that mommy lets me sleep in bed with her if I tell her I want to. Then she gets to wake up to something like this.

Another funny Caroline story

I do and say funny things all the time.

Last night, I grabbed a big block of Tillamook cheese (it comes in a 2-lb. loaf) and walked over to the cabinet where mommy keeps the wine and champagne. I opened the cabinet and shoved the Tillamook in, snuggled inbetween two bottles of bubbly, and walked away. Mommy and daddy were impressed that I already understood that wine and cheese pair well. Mommy suggested I try it with brie next time. I take my brie straight up, with a spoon - hold the rind.

Don't I look the part?
