Well, the results are in… I am getting a baby BROTHER! Go figure! 🙂

I can’t wait to teach him all about animals and Africa!

Today I woke up in a groggy mood. I haven’t been getting adequate sleep for my activity level. It is catching up with me slowly… at least that is the theory around the house. I missed my Gymboree Music class for the first time in ages, oh well. I even got a few tattoos today (giraffe, panda bear, elephant and a kangaroo!). Mommy and I ran a few errands and I behaved SUPER awesome. Mommy even let me walk at the “puppy store” and “office store”. By nap-time I was past tuckered out and crashed right away, and slept for nearly 3 hours!!!

After my nap Mommy, Daddy & I ran a few more errands and then came home to play. Mommy and I spent a long time in the backyard getting WET! Mommy set up my water table and the sprinkler on the hose. I had fun spraying Mommy and washing my wagon.

Suddenly, I stopped dead in my tracks and told Mommy I heard the ice cream truck, GO FIGURE! I knocked on the slider and told Daddy to “STOP the ice cream truck”. Daddy bought me a push-pop with Scooby-Doo on it. YUMMY! I really enjoyed it but they melt a LOT faster outside in 95F weather than they do in the bathtub with A/C all around! Oh well.. I was sticky and gross.

Icky… Sticky…YUMMY!
Mommy thinks more was on me than in my mouth!

Yeah, definitely more…

Mommy helped wash me off

and then kept attacking me while I was riding my tricycle! 🙂 I actually enjoyed it a lot!

I tooled around for a while but the grass kept getting in my way.

Will have to ride out front next time!

Afterwards I had a nice bath, a few books and went right to bed. I was tuckered out!

Today’s obsession was with my stuffed cat. Well, I guess this started a few days ago. I INSIST that “Kitty” does all my puzzles and reads me all my books. Basically, Mommy &/or Daddy has to hold the kitty puppet and then “Kitty” has to hold the pieces while I teach her where to put the pieces. It is a fun game… today I upped the anti to include my dragon, crab, dolphin, and even Lumpy! Mommy said Kitty is not very skilled at Legos. I still love my Legos and all the neat things Mommy builds me!

Ask me any question that I am not quite sure of the answer and I have developed a new habit:

Once asked… I look off into space… rub my chin with my thumb… and say “I don’t know!”

Mommy and Daddy think it is really cute. At least now my answers are not always YES or NONONONONONONONO!

I had a fun weekend playing with the family. Grandma Susie watched me while Mommy & Daddy ran a few errands.

Daddy spent a lot of one on one time so Mommy & Grandma Susie could get some badly needed yardwork done. It looks so much better! 🙂

Not if the stinking weather would just cool off already… why is it still getting hotter out? I want to go outside and play for more than 10 minutes without feeling like I will burst into flames! The joys of Florida!

Today Grandma Susie came over and played while Mommy worked in the yard and Daddy worked on the fish-tank. Now the yard looks great and the fish-tank is all fixed and working great. I really enjoyed reading and playing with Grandma Susie, I even cleaned up my toys. She taught me how to use the “Slinky” to go down the stairs to my tree-house. VERY COOL!

I had so much fun that I refused to take a nap again. After a little prodding I finally gave in and took a 50 minute nap. Mommy said she needed it to be 20 minutes longer because her nap was abbreviated because of mine. Oh well, sorry Mommy!

After my nap we headed up to Great Grandma Thelma’s (GGs) house. I played on the back porch and tossed a foam ball around a bit. There are LOTS of fun things to play with at her house but Mommy & Daddy kept grabbing my hand and telling me not to touch things. Mommy brought her laptop so we played my Dora game and also played with the computer built-in camera. I like to see myself on the computer. We all went to a wonderful dinner at a place called Niko’s! The food was great and the company was better! The waiter brought me a slice of chocolate cake when I finished my dinner. My eyes got bigger as I dug into the cake. I took a big bite and smiled with delight. When I smiled everyone started laughing. My teeth were brown from all the chocolate and I was grinning from ear to ear. SO YUMMY! After the meal Mommy took me to get cleaned up and to look at the fish in the lobby. When Mommy was helping me wash my hands she got attached by the auto soap dispenser. It started going crazy and spraying soap all over her shoulder!!! The little sensor was very sensitive and she had stepped close to the wall to allow me more room to wash my hands! OOPS! It was all good thought, Mommy just laughed it off.

After dinner we drove home. On the drive home I suddenly perked up and announced “Hear that, Ice cream truck!” Mommy rolled her eyes and told me no-no sweetie it is just the music from the Tarzan movie you are watching. A few moments later we stopped at a light, right next to an ice cream truck! It wasn’t playing its music but I KNEW it was there! Me and my ice cream trucks! When we got home I had a nice bath and read a few books and then tucked under for night night. Once I moved to the top bunk I haven’t wanted to leave. I LOVE it up in my tree-house! 🙂 Well goodnight all… I have a busy week of playing ahead of me! 🙂

Going to sleep tonight with the sound of thunder and the flashes of lightning.
