Festival of Lights

Cullen went to his first Festival of Lights (and Erin's first too) at the Cincinnati Zoo on Saturday night with Mommy and Daddy and Aunt Kari, Aunt Erin and Aunt Lindsay. He got to take his very first train ride around the zoo in the cold and see lots of pretty lights. He did great being out in the cold. Lindsay, being the teacher was teaching him all kinds of new things.... like the noise that an elephant makes... I think he was having flashbacks when he tried to go to sleep. Way to go Lindsay!

We got free funnel cakes and hot chocolate because they ran out of batter and we had to wait for them to restock. I love free funnel cakes!!!

A Musician in the making

Well last week Cullen has discovered some new toys. One of which I got in the 5th grade, a recorder. What a lovely musical instrument. (no sarcasm). Mom and Dad handed it to him and he immediately started playing. I hope you enjoy the following short recital we have.







Check back when I get the video of him and the harmonica. Now THAT is a treat. Auntie Nora and Auntie Kathy got their own private showing Saturday night. Thanks for watching him for us last night! Hope he didn't wear you out too much.

Cullen tries to use a spoon

Well tonight at dinner, Cullen wanted absolutely nothing to do with us giving him pieces of food to feed himself. He wanted to be like Mommy and Daddy and use utensils. He did surprisingly well being that this was his second try. He wanted to use his fork to stab the macaroni to death the other night.
