Tuesday Toddler Blogging

By drorzel on August 3, 2010.

SteelyKid's second birthday is Saturday, so we're getting her a few things. Given the recent video I posted, one of her presents was really obvious:

As you can tell, she's inherited her father's skillset. If the dunk picture doesn't convince you, this picture of her ace ball-handling ought to:

Not even two, and she can dribble it off her foot, just like her old man. She's a prodigy, she is.

The hoop and ball were a big hit-- we had to drage the ball along with us when we went out to dinner that night. The other big treat of the day was a visit from Grandma and Grandpa, who brought along this beauty:

That's a fire truck ("Truck! Vroom VROOM!") with a hose that sprays water. It took a little while to get the idea, and she's not quite big enough to pump it effectively herself, but it's a big hit. Especially when the adults jump and scramble to get out of the path of the spray...

Tomorrow, she's off to her Grammy's in Boston for a few days, and a party this weekend. I'm sure there's absolutely no chance of her getting spoiled at all. Nope. No way.

SteelyKid is off spending a weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's, so this week's picture was actually taken early Wednesday morning: The early hour accounts for both the pacifier (she wasn't willing to give it up yet) and the frizzy hair (bed-head toddler!). I'm pretty sure she hasn't grown measurably…

The JCC, where SteelyKid goes to preschool, is closed for Rosh Hashanah, so she's off at Grandma and Grandpa's for the weekend. They start doing a little more religious instruction at the preschool level, so we got to hear about Jewish theology, SteelyKid style: It's the birthday of the world, so I…

I meant to take a picture of SteelyKid yesterday, before she left for Grammy's, so we would have a Toddler Blogging shot for the week. Alas, I am a dope, so you will have to make do with this out-take from last week's shots, in which SteelyKid shares her opinion of her father's dodgy memory: She's…

Once again, I've let a very long time pass without posting photos. It's been a crazy stretch for us, starting with SteelyKid getting yet another case of strep throat, then DAMOP, then a trip to my parents' for Memorial Day weekend, then trying to recover from the previous. As with the last few, I'l…

I can't believe she's already (almost) two! Seeing pictures of SteelyKid is one of the highlights of my week.

My two year old loves the basketball hoop we just got for him, too. He's always asking to go out back and "shoot up the ball." And he insists on using the real basketball instead of the smaller and lighter dodgeball.
