(As portrayed by Mom & Dad)
I made up a new song. All by myself! “Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, all the way to Africa.”
Enough said. My song rocks! I came up with it on the carriage ride tonight at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground. Prince Charming (the horse pulling the carriage) even sang along and apparently he’s normally quiet!
Night peeps! Time for some sleep before Animal Kingdom in the morning!
I woke up this morning and told Mommy “it’s vacation, time to go see Mickey!”
I packed my Lumpys in my pillow sack. I still had some room left and Mommy asked if I wanted another stuffed animal or if I wanted to save the space in case I found a new animal. I got really excited and said “oooooooooooooo” than quickly took the not full bag to the garage door. 🙂 New animals!!! 🙂
Mommy found this picture today when looking through Daddy’s Aperture Library. It’s from way back on October 11th! (Of this year silly!) I’m sooooo cute. Mommy was waking me up so I could go out with here since I was being a sleepy head and taking what Mommy says was a 4 hour nap! I insist it was like, 5 minutes, but she woke me up anyway.
The past few nights I’ve asked mommy and daddy to leave the light on in my room when I sleep. I already have a nightlight, but I want on the big overhead light. I’m very nice about asking. I usually say “make bb very happy please. leave on light”. So mom and dad have been nice enough to generally listen (although I’m convinced they sneak in after I’m asleep and turn it out.) If it’s out when I wake up in the middle of the night, I turn it back on.
Well, mommy finally asked me why I want my light on. She probably thought I was scared of the dark (and in fact, still thinks that’s the *real* reason). I told her that “BB need light to grow”. Mommy scratched her head for a moment and then remembered the book we read about reptiles. While reading that book mommy talked about how reptiles, when kept as pets or in a zoo, get special lights that keep them warm and help them grow. She told me I get all the light I need from being outside and that I’m not a reptile!
Well, I still think I need a light to grow. After all, if it’s good for the reptiles then it should be good for me in my cave/cage! (Daddy wants to remind readers before they scramble for the phone to call DCF that I don’t actually sleep in a cave [or cage] – I sleep in my own bed in my own room. The bed has an open-ended fabric arch that creates a “tunnel” with the opening going from the head of by bed about half-way down to the foot of my bed. The “tunnel” arches from one side of the bed to the other and the two sides secure to each other under the mattress. I like to hang a blanket on each open end [leaving enough room for air flow] to create an enclosed cave/cage!)
So, since I need to grow and mommy and daddy keep turning off the overhead light, anyone got a spare grow light for me???
Also, anyone got any more ideas of what other logical (and cute) justifications I can use rather than saying (I *insist* falsely) that I’m scared of the dark???
This evening was NOT fun! I finished dinner; just finished my bath; was in my bedroom. Mommy and daddy asked me to pick out books but I had a coughing fit while doing so. Instead of sitting still I kept moving around coughing harder and starting to gag a bit. Mommy told me to sit on her lap. Like a good boy, I (finally) listened and sat still on her lap. Then…. well…. let’s just say that while my head didn’t turn completely around I discovered I do like turning it back and forth and back and forth while mimicking the “pea soup” scene from the Exorcist.
After I stopped (and mommy was covered) I got another bath while daddy did “quick cleanup” with several wet towels. I kept telling mommy I was sorry for what I did. Mommy and daddy kept telling me there was no reason to be sorry – sickness happens. Tomorrow mommy (and/or daddy) will have to spray the carpet with something. Maybe the cat “oops” stuff. They don’t want to do it before I go to bed (in case the smell of that makes me feel worse), but if they don’t do it tomorrow then my room will have a funky (nasty!) dairy odor.
Well, I hope I sleep well tonight. Mommy and daddy won’t sleep well because every time they hear me cough they’ll shoot out of bed to check on me.
Hmm…
Hmm……..
I know I shouldn’t….
But I’m not sure I can resist…..
This might just be a fun night of torment the ‘rents! 🙂 What do all my peeps think?
Should I torment or be nice? Oh, who am I kidding…. I’m a Gemini. I’ll do both. Torment and then say “sorry” when they check on me. (Repeating that pattern ALL night long!) I’m sooo bad, but sooo good too 🙂 Gotta love us Geminis!!!!
Night all! (‘cept mommy and daddy… see you lots tonight!)
