Saul has a Melissa&Doug sushi bento box. this is a video of him making the rolls and cutting the rolls, and serving them to a customer. :)

Kevin in Reno has a mini flat track in his back yard. We took Saul for some rides, he seemed to have a great time. Don't let the gigantic smile fool ya....

on the way back from reno, we stopped at Cabelas sports store, and Saul loved this pop-gun. Since he is averse to loud noises, we thought it may be a nice way for him to get more used to them. He calls it his "fire arm" and reminds us to be safe around it.

SO, we went to visit our pal Kevin Johnson in Reno this weekend. He is rebuilding Saul's vintage BMW sidecar conversion. When we got there, Saul saw the bike on the work lift, and said "Kevin, you broke my BMW motorcycle"

By the end of the weekend, however, he was saying "MY BMW is apart, but Kevin is getting it put back together"

Saturday morning, we walked around downtown, and sat by a nice river.

Sara and Kevin went on a dirt bike ride Saturday, she had fun. Saul and I stayed home, he was cranky and would not nap.

But it was all pretty fun and nice to be out of sillycon valley for a bit.
 
Saul woke up at 3am last night. Came running into my room, hopped in bed, and said "daddy, wake up, lets play"

i tried to get him to go to sleep, but it was not happening. He played, he ran to the living room, he brought toys into my room, he played, he talked, he was a menace. He did NOT go back to sleep. at all. the rest of the night.

At about 6:30, I sent him into Sara's room, and I tried to sleep till 8:30. poorly.

Got home form work today, Sara was at wits end, he was yelling and cranky, and generally being a poop, cause he did not sleep. Back into my room, tossed him on the bed, threw his best blanket in after him, walked away. 2 minutes later? snoring big time.

I WILL wake him up around 5:30, get some dinner in him, and have him run laps, jump around, dig post holes, whatever it takes, he WILL go to bed tired tonight. I NEED SLEEP.

photos sleeping, angelic? I know better! Photos from yesterday. My pal Andrea visited a few weeks ago, and then rode a motorcycle home, to Anchorage. She sent him a very cool book. about a mole, who went in search of who POOPED on his head! This is him opening the package. # posted by Charles Statman : 4:17 PM  0 comments 
Isiah's 5th Birthday!

So Isiah is 2 yrs older than Saul, and they went to Scribbles and Giggles together. Zaye's moms Sue & Sarah are on Facebook, and suggested we bring Saul to the party. HOORAY! As we were pulling up to their beautiful victorian in downtown San Jose, Saul said "WOW they live in a CASTLE!"

it was great seeing everyone, Saul warmed up quickly, and was playing music, and? Eating! YAY Eating.

I will let the photos do the talking. # posted by Charles Statman : 1:26 PM  0 comments 
Saul starts off in my bedroom, wearing doggie Slippers my sister gave me about 15 years ago. He walks down the hall, and chats with mom. Sorry for the low quality, but high FUN

I tried to get in there fast enough, but missed him sitting on my bed, strumming his ukulele and singing the alphabet song.

He has been waking up around 1am, all fitful, so last night I lay in bed with him from 1-2, till he was really snoring, then went back to my room. He slept great the rest of the night.

Thursday was Shavuos, and Saul participated in the fun at Sinai. Witness, a kid who does not eat, seems to like the ice cream bars..... Now it is time for study. Are your papers in order? And here we have the culprit. The Cam gear on the corvair. Click on the photo to enlarge it, notice the gear teeth on the lower right side? yeah, nt supposed to look like that. Just sayin... a boy, his dad, his dad's toy Rode motorcycles on Friday afternoon had sushi friday night Saturday was Dale and Joan's wedding. it was nice, they got married.

Saul stayed over with Julia and Mark. And Mark bought him a Guitar! Well, a Saul sized Guitar (link to Julia's photos) *ukelele* and is helping him learn to play

I said anyone buys him drums, it is over, but a guitar is nice. and Mark is a trained professional....

Sunday afternoon, Saul showed me his guitar, and made up some songs. Mostly about Charlie and Lola.

Marv's not here....
Marv's not here...
but Sizzles is.

(Marv is Charlie's best friend. Sizzles is Marv's dog, a dachshund)

then his next song

Lotta went shopping
Lotta bought a present
Soren Lorenson is imaginary

Lotta is Lola's best friend, and Soren Lorenson is Lola's imaginary friend.

Saul holds the Uke in his lap, like a steel guitar, and seems to strum backwards, but with more tutorship, I know he will be a star.

Guitar, motorcycles, handsome, blonde, smart.... he can be ANYTHING he wants to be!
