Owen at 4 Years

Owen turned 4 a few weeks back. He has both an insatiable curiosity and tremendous ingenuity.

He still enjoys soccer and is learning Mandarin. He loves building pretend structures with his toy tools and playing with his toy construction vehicles.

He has moved on from Disney/Pixar’s Cars franchise to superheroes (Spiderman, Batman, Captain America) and animated movies featuring animals (Dumbo, The Lion King, Ice Age, Madagascar).

Owen at 3 Years

Owen turned 3 this past Thursday. He has an amazing vocabulary, a wonderful personality, a great sense of humor, and a wealth of energy.

He enjoys soccer, playing with his toy cars, trains, airplanes and excavator. He loves reading all sorts of books. He is absolutely head-over-heels for anything related to Disney/Pixar’s Cars franchise including pajamas, Crocs™, scooter (with matching helmet, kneepads, elbow pads and gloves), and, of course, all the actual toy car characters from the movie.

I love this age.

Yo Gabba Gabba in Seattle

Team Smith partied with DJ Lance Rock and the entire Yo Gabba Gabba gang at the Seattle Paramount Theater back on November 12th. We all had a blast with quality fun and great music enjoyable by all ages.

I was impressed with how well produced and coordinated everything seemed and the variety of topics and audience participation activities. Accordingly, I highly recommend Yo Gabba Gabba Live to any family lucky enough to have the YGG come to town for a visit.
