One Shoed Boy

After a busy Saturday of beach time in the morning, Los Feliz to see Uncle Meitav's new apartment, and an outdoor movie night where we kept him out late, Lev just wanted to stay home and relax on Sunday. He wouldn't leave the house or put n clothes. He just wanted to be silly in the front yard. Who cares that he didn't have one shoe on? And snot running down his face. No big deal.

Circus Time

We were at the Ringling and Barnum Circus today. Lev wanted to go home after 10 minutes. Unfortunately, we had 2 hours to sit through. He was a trooper and humored us though. He didn't crack a smile once, yet every time he sees the Jungle Book (2-3 times per day!) he cracks up. Oh well - we won't make it a yearly tradition.

Chopsticks!

Lev learned how to use chopsticks this weekend at Okasa Sushi in Little Tokyo. Go Lev. Now he can eat his cucumber rolls like a native.

Making a Tower

One of Lev's favorite activities is building a tower with blocks. He calls the game "Make a Tower". Today he made a super tall one all by himself. Look at how straight that thing is.

He is also very much into spending time with Nico and Pam. And Nico loves spending time with Lev and idolizes Alec - so everyone is happy. They wouldn't let him out of their sight at the farmer's market so he had to do double duty. Its good exercise.

One more cute thing he does recently - if he likes a song playing on the radio he says "I like this song, make it louder" and he usually means Usher or Katy Perry.

Lev Starts Nursery School

Lev started nursery school this week and he is doing great! He has only cried for 30 seconds after I leave him and gets right into the swing of things, thus setting a good example for the other 2 year olds just starting out. He paints, beads, plays music, climbs, and plays outside. Eats his packed lunch unassisted. I think he will really love his time there. This morning he told Rascal "Bye Rascal, I'm going to school now. See you later". He says full sentences now such as: "Momma, I want to sit on your lap" and says three syllable words such as "comfortable". I'm inpressed. Actually, the morning of my birthday he said "I love you" without any prompting. So sweet.

Seriously?! The kid is talented. Self taught.
