Simon was excited to see the garbage truck on our street today. I love the way he says “truck!”

Ron took Simon to the park today and he had fun exploring underneath the jungle gym.

We’ll see how long he likes the tiger. For now he loves to sit on it. It has a metal frame inside so that’s how it stays upright.

Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy!

Simon got a big gift from Grandma Tam, this huge tiger. Doesn’t he look happy?

He needed a little bit of help getting onto it though.

We visited Ikea to find some more furniture pieces for our house. How about this big chair?

We went to have breakfast and Simon seemed in a happy mood. We will never go there for breakfast again though, eggs and french toast were terrible!

He enjoyed walking around the store and carrying a bag.

In the kids’ section.

Then when we went to buy things downstairs, he refused to sit in the shopping cart. This time he fussed and threw a big tantrum that lasted more than 30 minutes. He wanted to be held instead of sitting in the shopping cart. He cried and cried and cried. So we finally just left and he fell asleep in the car. Either he was tired or he made himself too tired with crying. After a nap, he seems to have forgotten about his tantrum and was his happy self.

We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Tam.

Me and Simon.

The highlight of Simon’s evening was tossing treats to the dogs.
