What I did the last two weeks -- Big E

Here's a bit of what I've been doing over these last two weeks. It has been very busy and I've hardly had time to sleep.

Here is a picture of what I've done with my dad at least three times a week. He can throw me much higher than my mom. Of course, he's taller so he has an advantage because I think my mom is stronger.

We went to the aquarium where we enjoyed fish like this...

touched jellies like this...notice our two fingered touch

My mom said that if we didn't listen to her she would throw us in the shark tank. I think she was serious.

Next she took us to the Natural History Museum where she told us we were very lucky to be living in modern times because otherwise we might be an appetizer for this T-Rex.

Here's lil' e taking pictures with his camera. He was copying me, of course. He does that with everything.

This animal didn't fair so good. He was lunch.

My friends, Megan and Maggie's dad is a scientist at the Museum so we got an amazing behind the scenes tour.

This is the head of an ibex. I'd ask to see it on our private tour because I was reading a book about the stone age with one in it. I was lucky because they usually don't have one. However, they had just gotten it the day before from the LA Zoo whose ibex had died recently of old age.

Afterwards, we were so energized that we lifted a truck!

Next, we went to a Colonial Farm with our good friends, Marin and Brooke. This woman is teaching us etiquette. She is quite funny and spit food and water at us! Talk about manners.

We learned about writing with quills.

Here are lil' e and my mom's letter to us.

I learned how to weave.

We also went to the Getty Villa. I know! Yet, another adventure. We were in heaven. We're planning our tour while Mom waits for us to make some decisions about what we want to see. I've made it very clear that only things that are interesting are worth looking at. I don't want to see "the normal." How boring is that?

We appeased her by posing at the end. lil' e never wants to stand next to me.

Now, this was where the action was!

You have to be quite brave to explore the Villa!

My mom has enrolled me in a charter school, which I love because I only go to classes twice a week and then she gets to teach me the other days. I love everything about it except when she speaks in a mean tone and tells me that I'm not working fast enough. But everything else, is the best!

Until next time,

Big E
