Q tells us his New Year’s Resolutions

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 | Bud Curtis, Family, Quentin Curtis | 1 Comment

Quentin has developed quite the vocabulary at this point, but still not enough to to speak discernible full sentences. But don’t let that stop him! He’ll talk on and on and occasionally you can make out a word like “spaceship, firetruck, poopy, potty, screwdriver,” etc. Quentin is also at that stage where you may be having a conversation with someone else and he’ll just randomly repeat a word you just said, like “electricity, or lasagna,” etc. This also means I really need to start being more careful about dropping my f-bombs.

A Short Time Ago, in Our Own Galaxy…

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009 | Bud Curtis, Quentin Curtis | 4 Comments

Quentin is obsessed with Star Wars! How did this happen? He’s only 2 years old! I can honestly say that his dad did not use the force to push Quentin into Star Wars. I may have been influential, but I never told him he needed to start getting into Star Wars.

About a month ago Quentin came into my office to see what daddy was doing. I was holding him on my lap while I was doing some work on the computer. That’s when he noticed my 1978 original Kenner R2-D2 & C-3PO action figures I have standing next to my monitors. He said “Robots! Robots!” and wanted to play with them. He didn’t want to give them back either. He played for hours, took them to bed with him, and played with them all the next day. In fact, I was kinda concerned he would break them since they are about 30 years old after all. I decided to go online and order a new set of R2-D2s and C-3POs that could be his.

weekend adventures

My camera was getting full of pictures from the past two weekends, so I thought I’d make a quick slide show. The highlights of the past two weeks have been hair cuts, star wars, playtime with friends, and trying to get outside in some very cold weather.

Quentin’s First Hair Cut

Friday, December 11th, 2009 | Bud Curtis, Quentin Curtis | 3 Comments

We took Quentin to get his first haircut yesterday. At first he was apprehensive about it, but I got him to sit on my lap and read some books and play with some toys. I told him that if he sat still we would go ride the “yellow tractor” at Fred Meyer’s. The barber was really nice and gave him a comb to comb his hair. She would also comb his hair as well, occasionally taking a snip of hair from the back or off his ears. After awhile he was more comfortable and let her trim his bangs in front. Eventually he was all trimmed up and now actually looks like a boy.

friday with friends

Saturday, December 5th, 2009 | Family, Linda Curtis, Quentin Curtis | No Comments

Quentin had a great day yesterday. He started out the morning in school, while I ran errands. Then his friend Miles came over and they played with trucks, ate lunch, and played on my old office chair. They love to spin. Then it was nap time. Next up – a play date with Meadow and Elyas at the Taylor’s house. A very full day.
