Dodger Stadium

Just got back from Dodger Stadium. Took Casey there, for the first time. For those of you who haven't heard, Dodger Stadium isn't exactly the safest place in town these days. It's not quite as bad as Afghanistan, but you get the idea. All went well. We didn't get beaten or even threatened. Casey had a good time. His favorite part was whenever the crowd clapped. He likely didn't fully understand WHY people were clapping, he merely enjoyed clapping with everyone. Oh yeah, and he really enjoyed all the treats he got to eat. The Dodgers played the Brewers, who featured a player who was recently caught in a steroids controversy. Of course the Dodger crowd chanted 'Steroids' everytime he was at-bat. Casey turned to me and said, 'Daddy, what is steroids?'.... Being caught off guard, and thinking off the top of my head, I replied, 'Steroids make your pee-pee shrink'. Apparently, I said it kinda loud, during a lull in the action no less, cause people within 3 rows fore and aft started cracking up.

The Wang Dynasty(s)

Back in 2010, Casey served as Emperor. Alas, his dynasty ended, and now, in 2012, Sydney is currently ruling. Here is a photographic comparison of their respective dynasties...

The Emperor

Just like California Proposition 28 addresses term limits, we have term limits in "Emperor-dom" here in the Wang household. The boys serve as Emperor until they outgrow the outfit! If you recall, older bro Casey's dynasty was back in '10. Sydney is currently ruling over his fiefdom now.

Little big boy

Sydney just had his 15 month doctor checkup. He's definitely healthy, checking in at a robust 28lbs, 10 oz (92 percentile), and 32.5 inches long (84 percentile). He was subjected to two shots, and he WASN'T HAPPY. In fact, he carried a grudge. After the doctor administered the shots Sydney wouldn't stop mad-dogging her for the rest of the visit. Anytime she moved around the exam room, Sydney's eyes followed her, staring daggers at her. Dude was not going to let her sneak up on him with that syringe...

The Magic Month of May

Two babies, both born on Feb. 3rd... Doing the math backwards, it appears that May is a magic month around the Wang household. If I even look at my wife during the month of May... bam.. prego!

Thus, I've decided to spend one hour each day in the month of May, soaking in the hot tub... Kill any of my little swimmers. Seems like an alternative to getting snipped...

Go Fetch

One of Casey's favorite activities these days is to get the morning newspaper. He considers it "His Job". He can be fully engrossed in a TV show but if we ask if he wants to get the paper, he jumps off the sofa, ready to do his job. If he is still in his pajamas, he gets to the garage, and says, 'I don't have shoes, carry me'. Last weekend, he brought Daddy the Sunday paper in bed. Our newspaper subscription only covers Thursday thru Sunday. As a result, Casey is learning is days of the week. He now knows Thursday means he has a job to do in the morning. And for those wondering, no, he does not carry the newspaper in his mouth...

You have a booger

Casey and I were swimming in the pool today when he looked at my nose and said, "You have a booger". I asked him to help and clean it. He replied, "I can't. I don't want to get my finger dirty!"

At least he's honest...
