Photoshoot With Mommy

I was in the mood for posing and Mommy was in the mood for taking photos so we had some photo sessions a few nights ago. Notice the dress that I am wearing? It's now already a blouse because I have grown tall. Everyone was already asleep so that I had we took photos the whole night... well, not really the whole night. Just until I got tired of just sitting on my little basketball and got distracted by old Mickey Mouse cartoons on YouTube. Hihi! 

So, what do you think? Am I model material already or what?

Look Ma, I Can Paint!

I gave my Mommy and Daddy a little surprise last Sunday. What was the surprise? I will tell you in a jiffy. But first, let me do some story telling. 

It was a warm Sunday, the sun was out and Schlossplatz was packed with people... you can really tell that something fun was going on so that after church, we dropped by to check out was happening. I think it was a family day, because there were lots of families with small children about and there were lots of booths put up. There was music and laughter and merriment everywhere and some wails and cries too!

I got all excited with what I saw and the first thing that I asked for was a balloon. I just love balloons and so Mommy and Daddy set out to get me one. I got three balloons that day, all for free. Hehe! There were lots of activities for children to try out too but there was one thing that surprised my Mommy and Daddy so much. I made two water color paintings all by myself, and it was my first time! Daddy for one was surprised to see that I knew how to hold a brush and what to do with it. Well, it's thanks to Timmy das Schäfchen.

So what do you think? I must have some painting skills after all, which I have taken from my Mommy. I wish Mommy will buy me some art materials now. I know she is hesitating because I might paint the white walls, which by the way are now covered with scribbles.

Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite!

Young as I am, my Mom has taught me the importance of cleaning. She said that keeping your living space clean will also prevent the bad bacteria that causes a multitude of diseases away. She likes to keep our bedroom especially clean. She would regularly air our beds because she doesn't want bed bugs in our bed. She also vacuums our luggage cases when we get home from our trips. It helps prevent bed bugs transmission, she says. She vacuums the bed and changes our sheets once a week, too. Kind of tasking but true. I guess you could officially call my Mom maarte then.

If you are wondering what bed bugs are, they look like this:

They are very small insects and elusive at that. They bite and the affected area becomes red and very itchy. They feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals especially humans so you can almost call them vampires. These parasites are most active during the night and can feed on their hosts unnoticed. 

If you want to keep the bed bugs from suddenly biting you in the night, you might as well follow what my mom does. This will assure you of a bed bug free sleeping haven for those good night sweet dreams. So, don't let the bed bugs bite!

Do You Know Emily Erdbeer?

My newest favorite cartoon series? The all new Emily Erdbeer or Strawberry Shortcake in English. I would always say "erdbeer" to my Mommy if I want to watch this one. The characters are just so cute and I find Erdbeerland or Berry Bitty City very colorful.

In case you don't know how they are named in German, here they are:

Emily Erdbeer (Strawberry Shortcake) 

 Orangella Obstblüte (Orange Blossom)

 Bonni Blaubeer (Blueberry Muffin)

 Himbeertörtchen (Raspberry Torte)

Pfläumeli Creme (Plum Pudding)

Zitronella Baiser (Lemon Meringue)

Aren't they just cute? I just love them and I always look forward to watching the next episode which will be shown on Nick Jr. on July 17th at 7:45AM. I hope Mommy doesn't forget to record it. So I get to watch another new episode.

How about you? Do you like Strawberry Shortcake too? Who is your favorite character?
