So let me paint you a picture of my experiences so far . Two years ago I was introduced to the planet and to Lorain. As you can see Nag Nog has tried to introduce me to “art” .
I have now framed two of my works to rave reviews from mummy and Nag Nog! Maybe I will exhibit in the Louvre- I overheard Nag Nog saying something about going to the Louvre
My first interview can be found here

That was the start of many firsts:
My first Christmas was really very sad- my Uncle Chris had died and no one felt like Christmas, but they tried to be happy for me. This was the first time I got my Chris MISS present from my Uncle Chris.

Then I discovered the outside world and bunnies and food and Easter at Lakeview Park and the Rose Cafe. This year there is on April 23rd
Lakeview Park – 10am
For ages 2-10. Bring a container and dress for the weather. Visit with the Easter Bunny after the hunt. Food will be available for a fee in the cafe. April 24 Easter Brunch call (440) 233-7272 for reservations

Then I discovered “girls” at Lakeview Park Beach

I found out that there are brave men and women in this world who give everything for my freedom

I found out about the United States Coast Guard and safety

I learned how to swim safely in a pool

I found out about voting

And then I found out how Lorain decorates for Christmas and the holidays and I got to have my cake and eat it too!

Then it was was time for this years Chris MISS present- my own Ford 150- can’t quite reach the controls yet but watch me in the summer- hey do I need a license for this thing?

I went to my first political “party”
http://thatwoman.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/lorain-dude-keeping-cool-and-enjoying-the-hot-politics/
and decided to get an early start in running for office

YUP!!!! I have been busy and now I am TWO and my mummy and daddy had a “non political party” – I had lots of friends over and my Chris MISS present for this year’s party was a pony, no not the one in the basement that rocks (although this pony rocked !)

[...] http://thatwoman.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/lorain-dude-is-two-for-two/ Gavin “KNOWS” his Uncle Chris- Nikki has talked about you everyday- you are as real to him as we are – he blows you a kiss every night before bed – his favourite quiet time is leafing through your portfolio – especially the truck advertisements you created. He knows that Uncle Chris is special and loved him. [...]
