Episode 013 – Happy Birthday Daddy

Lucky number 13! Today is my birthday so we start off with Owen singing happy birthday to me and talking about his dreams of purple scooters (he has this Züm blue and purple balance bike/scooter.) We talk about going to Mighty-O for donuts and coffee and walking around Green Lake. Then we sneak upstairs a la Mission Impossible to wake up mommy. Then we play Endless Numbers on mommy’s phone. Later in the day we watched the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailers and get Captain Owen’s reaction to them. Finally we close out with his rendition of Row Row Row Your Boat.

Episode 012 – Disneyland

The Disneyland episode! We recently took a trip to Disneyland, and Owen and I sat down to discuss the big day. We talk about Pirates of the Caribbean and what type of pirate he wants to be when he grows up, Peter Pan, Belle, The Little Mermaid ride, It’s a Small World, Peter Pan’s Flight (my favorite ride) being closed for upgrades – there was a cast preview and apparently the upgrades are fantastic. Then we talk about the Bug’s World bumper cars that he can finally go on since he hit 36″, Astro Orbiter, and the Disneyland Railroad and the dinosaurs. For a little extra treat, after the chat, you can hear snippets of us actually riding Astro Orbiter and King Triton’s Carousel.

Episode 011 – Story Cubes

Sorry for the short episode this week! There’s a lot of crazy stuff going on – hopefully good stuff I can share in the near future. In this episode we start off playing with Owen’s Uncle Goose Alphabet Blocks. He’s at the point now where he is being very creative with them–throw a couple blocks together and its a pirate ship or giraffe. We then played with our Rory’s Story Cubes MAX. We don’t have any of the other sets, just the MAX set which has over-sized story dice. They are a ton of fun!

Double Digits! In this episode we start off playing with Owen’s latest toy–Tiggly Shapes. Then we read his favorite new book, Monster ABC, by Kyle and Derek Sullivan, currently featured on Kickstarter. After I read it to Owen, he wanted to read it to me (with a little help.) Then we talk about our upcoming trip to the tidal pools. Finally, we sign off by singing happy birthday to Owen’s Oma Lennie.

A long weekend! In this episode we sing Three Monkeys Jumping on the Bed and then have a little tickle party.

We sing the clean-up song when we’re all done, and then Owen asks to watch an episode of Tabletop with Wil Wheaton. After watching the episode, we quickly added Takenoko to our wish list.
