I woke up one fine morning, and Mom said that I was now old enough to help around this house!

I thought that was a fine idea, though I must say that the soap doesn't taste very good.

Then Mom put me in this very large turtle in the back yard..

(She said something about this being a birthday present from Mom & Dad)
 

I wasn't too sure at first, but discovered that it  tasted pretty good!

Later that afternoon, we went to the science museum, where they had lots of great stuff to play with!

I loved the water...

And the new toys...

And climbing up...  and down..

And there were oh so many balls to eat.. or throw..

The only problem was that this kid kept following me around! (Lucky he was cute!)

After my nap, Mom & Dad tried to burn down the house!

Then they gave me birthday cake.. I wasn't too sure at first, but once I got a taste, I was off!

 

They then brought over a mountain of gifts, and I had a fine time opening my new presents!

Over the next several days I got to read, bang and throw all my new toys! Thanks everyone!
