- The space invaders land on planet Wally
Wally plays with his new figurines in the grass and dirt pool Jerry dug these cool retro figurines out of his stuff. I gave them to him years ago. Wally just loves them. He wanted to play with them outside so we experimented with them on the sidewalk, in the grass, and, at my prompting, in the pile of dirt left over from digging the garden. - "He flies! He flies!"
Of course, he does. All of Wally's toy's fly. - Throwing dirt clods into the yard.
Ok, as long as they don't hit Mommy or Daddy. There is only one picture, but this game went on for some time. - Avalanche! Retreat!
The invaders plummet to the bottom of Mt. Wally. He knocked everyone down into a pile. - Crash!
Mommy jammed a few rockets into the dirt and held her breath. I didn't know if he would be amused or distressed. After all, he doesn't like things to get dirty. But he ran with this one. - Wally and friends
The dogs and Dutch snuggle up to Wally to watch an afternoon flick How sweet is this! It wasn't until after Wally turned two that he started to be interested in the pets. Now he greets them, kisses them on the head, puts his head down on their backs, apologizes to them if he should, and laughs about their antics. - The invasion begins
Wally considers Mommy's provocative placement of the space men. - Gathering up the toys
Time to pack it in. - From the toys' perspective
The invaders await further commands. - Daddy and Wally breakfasting before going to Grandpa's birthday brunch
Looking sharp for Cafe Ventana downtown They were looking sharp for the celebration at Cafe Ventana near the Fox. Chris and I went to the art fair since it was Mother's Day weekend. We dined on art, they on freshly made beignets that they watched being made through a window in the floor. One of the bakers made silly faces at Wally much to his delight. - Wally and Mommy check out the masticated carrot in his mouth...so funny!
Wally was totally amused to view the contents of his mouth He was giggling so much that I was concerned he might choke...nutty. - And they fly!
Staging extra-atmospheric attack. - Wally's newly minted silly smile
They still look great! - Decorating Daddy!
Wally embellishes Daddy's otherwise unassuming hand. - First successful attempt to climb into the crib
But he makes no attempt to climb out without assistance The gate is down, and he climbed in on his own initiative. Not gracefully, mind you. He got his leg up and went over, landing with his head at a right angle to the rest of him...not an easy thing for mom to watch. But he was thrilled with his new trick and it predictably became a game. However, he needs help getting out, or, rather, jumping out. He climbs up on the rail with me holding his hands and then jumps to the floor–great fun!
