the life of baby jude

Last week was a good one! Summer camp officially ended and we had a week long vacation from daycare. So the first half of the week I spent with Grandma Ginny. I felt really bad because the weather was so crappy, so we didn't get to go outside together or anything. And one of my favorite things to do with her is force her to walk me around the neighborhood over and over again! So I guess maybe she was happy it rained. But we still had a great time together! She brought me cool toys as usual. She always knows just what I like. I even suckered her into buying me a truck Pez dispenser. And by "sucker" I mean I picked it out and handed it to the cashier at ShopRite. So poor Grandma had no choice. She also came with us to pick out my shoes for school and then took us to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. What fun!

For the second half of the week, I went to Meema's house. As per usual, she had delicious food for me to eat (pesto! hummus!) and lots of activities for us to do. We went to the Dutchess County Fair and the Children's Museum with Mama's friend, Jen and her three sons, Andrew, Dalton & Ben. Meema even had a special big-boy bed all made up for me with fishy sheets! It was so very cool and way more comfy than my Cars bed! On Saturday, Mama came to pick me up and we went to the fair with her. We sampled all kinds of treats and went on some fun rides. As anticipated, I really liked the zeppole, but you're probably not surprised. I know I don't look it, but my food tastes are 100% Italian. Mama bought a root beer float for herself, but guess what...? I drank most of it. Ice cream and soda? Come on! Mama took me on a really fun ride that required lots of climbing and sliding. I giggled the whole way and I even heard Meema laughing down below as Mama tried to climb ropes with me in tow (and in a dress, no less, poor thing). It really was so much fun!
