Emotional Breakdowns…?

I think this week Mommy & Daddy are seriously working on finding a new home for me with the Gypsies. I have begun a WONDERFUL pouty face (that Mommy said is more funny than sad).
Mommy tried to snap a picture of it in mid-pout but I wasn’t in full pout so it was tough. I manage to stick my lips out like a dying fish and hit a very odd octave as I whine to my hearts content.

Things that have driven me to whine today:
1) My sippy cup was empty
2) I used a giraffe sticker two weeks ago and really miss it
3) The Tarzan movie didn’t start fast enough when we got in the car
4) I pulled sticker off of a piece of paper and the paper ripped (very tiny rip)
5) I couldn’t get my sunglasses on correctly
6) I had 4 snacks and wanted 5
7) I am convinced I need a band-aide and I have a boo-boo. When Mommy asks where I point to all my fingers, my tongue and my knee.
8 ) My Tappy Turtle toy wasn’t in the car (BTW it NEVER is!)
9) Mommy has a boo-boo on her finger and it hurts ME!
10) The cat ran under the bed and I couldn’t reach her to harass her!

So as you can see, little things set me off.

But then 2 minutes later I am the happiest kid on earth.

Things that have made me happy today:
1) The constant phrase “Going to Africa!”
2) Sunglasses once I got them on correctly
3) Shopping at Hyde Park for new puzzles and new animals
4) Doing stickers with Mommy & Daddy
5) The pictures of the giraffes on Mommy’s calendar in the bedroom.
6) Pouring pretend coffee for Daddy, Mommy, Grandma Jo and Grandpa Howie
7) Getting a “money” for sitting on the potty at Grandma’s house (without the toddler safety ring, I didn’t potty, just sat there!)
8 ) Playing hide & seek with Mommy this morning
9) Giving Daddy hugs in bed to wake him up
10) Tickles.

Things that have made Mommy & Daddy happy:
1) MY NAP!

Rain, rain and more rain…

When I got up this morning I knew it was just going to be “one of those days”. Mommy took a quick shower while I finished my breakfast and milk. I opted to curl up and watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I just didn’t want to get going today.

Today I have been off… just off. The rain is still coming down (4 days now). At least Mommy is getting me out to Gymboree so I am not too crazy. But the rain just seems to drain me. I have been “emotional”. Today one of my friends screamed in my face (mind you I do this to him on a daily basis) and I totally LOST it. I cried in Mommy’s lap for 15 minutes. Yesterday a little girl hit me (3 separate times) and I cried and cried. Mommy put a stop to it and the girl got a time out. I swear I am an easy target sometimes. Is it just because I am so nice? I just want to hug! 🙂

So today I think I will just stay in bed after my nap and not move until the sun shines. Good idea? Probably not… Mommy will inevitably drag me back to Gymboree to burn off some juice.
