Today Mommy and I were waiting at home for the FedEx person to deliver a new box of stuff for the fish-tank. Since we now have the “fish guy” to help with the cleaning fo the tank Mommy & Daddy are more confident about investing in corals and fish.

Anyhow, when the box came Mommy brought it inside and the doorbell rang again. Someone from the city checking on the kitchen completion. Mommy came back inside, locked up and we headed for the playground. I had been waiting all morning for the fish box to come so we could go to the playground. Every time I heard a truck driving down the street I would insist to Mommy that it was “TIME TO GO TO THE PLAYGROUND!”

We had a blast at the playground. I can even climb the ENTIRE rock wall on my own now and go down the BIG BIG slide. Mommy said she was very proud of me!

We got home and came in the house and heard a whining from the front porch. Mommy figured it was one of the “feral” cats that have been living in our yard for the last week or so. She looked out the peep-hole and saw HUNTER!!! Ugh!

He must have escaped to the front screened in porch when Mommy was talking to the man from the city. He was fine… but when we let him in… Clover and Sneaky Pie had a MAJOR hissy fit. It took nearly an hour for them to re-accept him into the house! Those silly girls!

Five weeks from today (Jan 16th, 2008) I will become a big brother. Ugh! The time has just flown by so quickly. Mommy and Daddy still haven’t decided on a name but the list is now very short. Mommy has been “nesting” the last few weeks… she is trying to make sure everything is ready before Christmas so there are no issues.

I am really getting excited but still not sure what to expect. I just want to play with my baby brother. But Mommy said it will be a little while before is he able to really play! So until then I will help out Mommy any way I can!

5 weeks!!!! UGH!

So this morning I woke Mommy up with a holler of “I dropped my stick!” Mommy looked confused when she came in my room… “Stick, what stick?” I pointed to the ground and there was a little 1.5 inch long red plastic stick. Mommy said she knew instantly it was a peg from a toy of mine. The toy is a little rectangle full of pegs that when you push against something it takes the form… like your face, hand or a toy. Mommy then asked me where the toy was so she could replace the peg that fell out. I pulled the toy from the bag at the end of my bed…. it was missing about half of the pegs. Mommy grinned and asked where the other “sticks” were. I told here they were under my pillow. She asked me how they got out of the toy. I told her they “fell out”.

We gathered all the sticks and sat on the floor together and put the toy back together. Mommy asked again how they “fell out” and I said… “my fingers did it!” My toy is fixed and now moved to the non-night-night toy pile.

Today Mommy and I ran a few errands while Daddy is in work meetings out of the house. We went by storage to swap out the toddler rail of my old bed for the crib rail for my baby brother. When we opened the door to the storage unit I saw my old horse! I got him for my first Christmas but haven’t seen him in ages since I stopped playing with him. I instantly asked Mommy if I could ride him. She pulled him down off the stack of boxes and I sat on him and bounced a few moments. I then got up and started dragging my horse down the hallway of the storage unit towards the elevator. Mommy sighed and said “fine we can bring him home for a little while as long as I promise to play with it.” I agreed. We loaded him onto the cart and I helped pull the cart to the elevator. Mommy made me stand still and hold the cart handle while she unlocked the car. She said “don’t let go of the handle”.

Being the sly kid that I am in kept holding on and climbed up on the cart and sat on my horse and started bouncing… totally NOT safe! Mommy asked me to safely get down… I did… still holding the cart handle. hehe

My horse is now safe at home and I can’t be pried away from it! I ate dinner on it and snacks. I fed the horse part of my sandwich. I guess it doesn’t matter that it is a bit too small for me to play on, but I still enjoy it. My knees nearly hit the handlebars but I can still get a good “giddy-up horsey” out of it!

So where to start??

I had a WONDERFUL time on vacation!

I got two balloons at the Christmas Parade!

I caught lots of “snowflakes” (soap bubbles).

I saw Santa and then INSISTED “he gave ME a present, ME… and I opened it and it was…. AFRICA!”

We went to every theme park at Disney! I enjoyed riding in my stroller and taking in the sights.

Mommy and Daddy watched me as I ran like a crazy man after the shooting fountains at EPCOT.

Grandma Susie and Grandma Jo enjoyed my silly-ness.

I saw ducks! EVERYWHERE!

I got this KILLER lollipop that I licked for about 5 hours!

I was COVERED in sticky!

Grandpa Howie offered to help but I said no.

I insisted that I throw pennies into EVERY fountain we saw!

Grandma Jo tried to steal my lollipop… I said NO!

We saw TRAINS at the American Pavillion at EPCOT. I LOVE TRAINs… CHOO CHOO!

Mommy DID steal a few licks of my lollipop! UGH MOMMY! You got caught!

We all had a great time!

At night we went to MGM to the Osborne Lights. They were really neat!

MOmmy and Grandma Susie were really enjoying the pretty lights.

I liked to give kisses!

The next day I got to ride the dinosaur spin thing at Animal Kingdom! I rode it several times in a row. I like it to go “round and round and up and down!”

I got to go to the petting farm too. I kept switching out brushes (I always took two matching ones!)

RED

Green

Yellow

Blue

Blue with a cute girl… I shared!

White…. with another cute girl!

Green again… this goat wouldn’t stay still.. I had to chase and brush at the same time!

We got all dressed up for dinner at Artists Point. I behaved SOO awesome that night.

The next day I hid my cars under the sofa… Mommy wasn’t TOO happy… Oh well.

I listened to my sippy cup, it knows all!

I rode the train around Magic Kingdom while Daddy had a work phonecall.

Some really nice lady gave me a DUMBO pin while we were on the monorail!

I got to ride ponies! I REALLY enjoyed this… A LOT!

Happy Breighton Cowboy.

I had to try another pony when I finished with the first. We even went back the next day again to ride more!

Grandma Jo took me to the KidCot (at EPCOT) and I got to make a mask. Well, she colored it for me once she realized that their NEW sponsor is SHARPIE PERMANENT MARKERS! Yeah, two year olds and anything permanent just DON’t mix! Mommy was upset over that sponsorship!

I was hopped up on LOTS of sugar!

We saw the candlelight processional. It was narrated by one of the people who was in High School Musical! Neat!

I really enjoyed my vacation! A LOT!
