Winston's Photo Blog

Lately Winston only wants to wear his baseball outfits. On Tuesday he went to his toddler camp and a kid came up to him and touched his shorts which have a baseball logo on it and he freaked out. He kept saying 'don't touch, don't touch' something he learned from his English Pocoyo cartoon.

Oh by the way, before going to his camp he dug through his dirty laundry to find the shorts. His nanny didn't want to put them on but he won't stopped whining. He went around the house trying to take off his clean jeans and saying 'baseball shorts' until she finally gave in. She hated his outfit because it didn't match. Then at night he wouldn't take a bath because he didn't want to take off his baseball shorts or shirt.

After his bath he insisted on wearing baseball shirt.


Around Christmas he only wanted to wear his tractor clothes so I guess this phase will end soon too.

Pobre de Winston le pican los mosquitos/zancudo y lo dejan todo rojo e hinchado. Antier uno entro en casa y lo dejo con 5 picaduras. Tiene los dos brazos, cerca del codo, hinchados. Le hemos estado poniendo hydrocortisone pero quizás tenemos que darle algo mas fuerte como Benadryl Itch-Stopping Treatment.

On our way back from our mini vacation to Monterey, CA where we stayed at a wonderful hotel located very close to downtown and Old Town area. From Hotel Pacific we were able to walk to many of the Monterey attractions.

Winston and I also had a chance to explore Pacific Grove's gorgeous shoreline. We stopped at Lovers Point Park for lunch. The view of the coast is gorgeous from here. Winston hit some golf balls from here and played catch with me.

On Tuesday night Andy's company rented out the entire Monterey Aquarium which included access to all the galleries and exhibits. Winston spent over three hours running around the aquarium counting fishes.

On the weekends we sometimes go the coffee shop near us and pass by a golf shop. Winston always wants to go in and sometimes we will stop by and let him walk around especially if the store empty. A couple weeks ago the owner told us that he could get us a toddler golf club set which includes a wood, iron and putter for a very good price. Since Winston is outgrowing his plastic set we decided to order one.

After getting the clubs we took him to the driving range to test them out. He enjoyed hitting ball but had a difficult time understanding that he couldn't go and collect the ball after hitting it. As his basket started getting low on balls he started hoarding them. Getting him to leave the golf course proved to be very difficult and eventually we ended up picking him up and taking to the car.

The clubs are slightly heavy for him but he is slowly getting used to the extra weight.

Winston latest obsession is his baseball book written by Gail Gibbons, "My Baseball Book." The book is an introduction to baseball and has great cartoon illustration with very little text.

His current favorite page is the baseball diamond illustration. He runs his finger from home plate, to first, second, third and back to home plate and says 'home-run.' Past favorite pages include the pitcher throwing to the catcher, the umpire calling an out and the page that shows a ball being caught by an outfielder.

We usually go to story time at the library on Saturdays and sometimes on Monday night. Each time we go he goes to the information desk and will say 'baseball book' to the librarian. The librarians think this is so cute that every time they indulge him and find him another baseball book but so far this is his favorite.

After getting his book he wants to use the computer! He will find an empty computer terminal, arrange the stool, sit and begin typing. He even moves the mouse. Thankfully you can't use the computer unless you type in your library card.
