He went to his first "big kids" birthday party last weekend. It was the birthday party for his friend Tomer's older sister, Yuvali and was held at a farm near where we live. They had a lot of great activities for the kids, including pony rides, but most were a little beyond Edison. However, Edison really liked being able to hold and pet this guinea pig. I used to have a guinea pig while growing up and it brought back fond memories of my beloved Cotton Ball.

As party favors, my friend gave out cowboy hats. Looks like Edison is a natural!
We attended the Coast Guard Christmas Party on Friday. I was looking forward to getting a great photo of Edison with Santa Claus. Here is what happened when reality took over.... I suppose I should be sympathetic with Edison because I was afraid of (and thus abhorred) all people dressed in costume (Santa, Mickey Mouse, etc.) when I was a kid - even now if I am being honest.
They had a big Christmas tree set up and Edison admired it.

This picture was taken at our local mall, Crystal Mall in Waterford. There is a ride - right next to the indoor playground of course - that is basically a merry go round with cool things to ride in. Go figure, Edison always goes for the boat over the playground. We never actually turn it on because Edison gets really scared when it moves. So this is a good compromise.
