Ethan came over to play this morning when his Mommy went for her first ultrasound. We ran around screaming for a while and then headed outside to play in the sandbox. Ethan is really skilled at throwing sand. He really enjoyed doing that until he got sand all over himself then it wasn’t fun anymore.

We watered all the plants and played in the the big refrigerator box.

Ethan rode my tricycle.

I did sprints down the pavers.

We were FILTHY so Mommy brought us inside and got us all cleaned up. We bounced on my bed until Mommy said NO!

Then we played with sticker books and were ODDLY quiet for a while.

I apparently told Ethan a bad joke because he moaned and covered his eyes!

We had a nice snack of carrots, applesauce and cheese. Ethan finished his but I really didn’t want mine because I had a big breakfast.

Mommy let us play Play-doh on my little table. Ethan and I shared VERY well with each other. I only ate the play-doh ONCE!

We watched the garbage truck pick up the trash and saw really neat birds, lots of them!

Ethan came back over tonight for spaghetti dinner and playing in the yard. Afterwards we had a quick bath and Mommy read us a few stories.

All in all, I had a nice day today!

Today was…ummm….UGH!

Ugh just about wraps it up!

When I got up today my outlook was good. I was happy to see my Mommy and Daddy and to say good-morning to the world. Then things started to go downhill. I hurt my toe on “something” and I cried for a little while. UGH!

I went to Gymboree and only one other kid was in my class today. Since I tend to follow the older kids things were all out of whack. I got upset and didn’t want to do ANYTHING the teacher said. UGH!

I came home and took a nap but he men were installing the countertops during my nap so there was a LOT of banging so I had a poor nap, only about 45 min. UGH!

The kitchen looks pretty with the new counters but they took away all my hiding and pop up places. UGH!

I found a magnet on the dishwasher and was playing with it and managed to pinch my finger REALLY bad… there was a little blood! but Mommy came to the rescue and made the boo-boo not hurt. I haven’t seen that mean magnet since. UGH!

I crawled onto the coffee table and Daddy yelled at me… I got upset and called him “Mean Daddy”. Mommy told me it wasn’t nice to say that because daddy was just looking out for my safety. I cried more… UGH!

Then Grandma Susie came over with Bob and Steve from the shop to pickup the old fridge and stove to take them to her place. I showed off my new kitchen…

Then they loaded the fridge in the truck and I waved BYE-BYE to it. Then… UGH!

As Mommy puts it… I MELTED! Tears came pouring down my face and I was crying so hard I was hyperventilating. Everyone was trying to comfort me and I just cried harded. I didn’t want to see my fridge go away… we have so many memories together. Plus that is where my MILK was. Mommy and Daddy brought me inside and showed me that my milk, juice, yogurt and other snacks were still in the NEW fridge. My first display of seperation anxiety and it was to the FRIDGE! UGH!

I finally calmed down after Daddy let me have a ice cream cone from the new freezer.

I bumped my head and feet and arms. I tripped over EVERYTHING and ran into more. It was just one of those days. Mommy said… “there must be another tooth on the way”. I get like this when I am teething. Well, I am going to bed… tomorrow HAS to be better. It just HAS to! UGH!

Oh, Mommy said to show you a picture of the new patio furniture because one of her friends asked to see a picture of it. It didn’t hurt me today!!! 🙂

NIGHT NIGHT!

I think all I did yesterday was party party party! 🙂 We got up early and drove to Spencer’s house for his birthday party, he turned 2! Mommy made him some “Thomas the Tank” overalls. He enjoyed them.

But now I want a pair… Mommy made me generic train ones but that was before I started to understand who Thomas was! 🙂

I played in the big back yard… I was afraid to go into the big bouncy castle

but I really enjoyed the play house…

I liked answering the door and sweeping the floors.

We got in the car and drove to Grandma Jo and Grandpa Howie’s place for a St. Pattys Day lunch. Not really for the holiday but my Uncle Bronson was down from Ohio. I refused to share my grapes with him… but I think (hope) he got over it!

I showed Grandpa Howie how to use my See-And-Say.

I also enjoyed my cup of marshmellows and pretzel sticks! I had some real food too, don’t worry!

I only spilled it a few times but Grandma Jo got me the vacuum and I cleaned it all up!

I was tuckered out by 8pm and went right to bed.
Maybe it was all the spinning and falling down I did!

Today I got up really early and Mommy & Daddy brought me into their room. I tried to fall back asleep but Hunter kept whining… MEEEEOOOOOOOOW! MmmMMMEeeeeeOooooOOOwWWWW! Silly kitty!

Today Mommy & Daddy let me watch Boooos(Blue’s Clues) on tv. I don’t know what to think of it yet… but it had a puppy so I am happy.

Off to nap now… more later I am sure! 🙂

Mommy made microwave popcorn tonight. I sadly didn’t get any as it was my bedtime. But Mommy is VERY happy to have a microwave for the first time in 5+ months!!! Thanks to Daddy and his awesome electrical and mechanical ways… he got the new nuker all hooked up and running! YIPPIE! I can have carrots again without Mommy going through the rig-a-ma-roll of boiling water and all that jazz. I can’t wait to dig into veggies next week once the kitchen is all done! 🙂 WOO HOO!

Well, not really! Mommy and Daddy have finally allowed me to pass through the thresh hold to the forbidden zone known as the kitchen. Today I got to explore…

I really liked the sink basin the best.

The ceiling is all raised and the cabinets are all in.

The granite should be here and installed on Monday!

Lumpy even liked hiding with me!

The sink basin has a flip out sponge drawer… really fun to play with.

I enjoyed playing with a huge stack of sponges…. Daddy kept wondering where they were coming from! (Where’s Breighton??)

Here I am!!!

Okay, I am bored… gotta find something else to do.

In other Breighton news:
At 4:30 i walked into Mommy & Daddy’s room and pointed at the clock and said “GEORGE!” I apparently have figured out how to tell time! Or it was just a fluke. At 4:30 Curious George is on PBS. Mommy has only let me watch it a few times. I really like reading the books but the cartoon is neat too. Mainly because I read the stories with Mommy all the time and then to see them in cartoon form is kinda cool. Point is… I knew it was 4:30 and time for George!

Tonight I had Karina babysit me so Mommy and Daddy could run some house errands. They got all the appliances picked out and ordered. They will be delivered tomorrow! YIPPIE!!! Mommy can make microwave popcorn for the first time since before Christmas when the old nuker broke.!

I behaved really well, except I didn’t want to go night night I kept calling for Mommy! I love my Mommy & Daddy!
