This is it, I guess. I am off to Grandma and Grandpa’s house tonight so Mommy and Daddy can get a good nights rest and get up early to go to the hospital. Mommy has to be there by 7:30am! Baby Brother should be here around 9 or 9:30 in the morning. Mommy is very emotional today and I haven’t been helping but we are all getting through it.

Tomorrow I will be a BIG BROTHER!!!! YEAH???

Mommy hadn’t used her camera since before Christmas and when she downloaded the pictures she came across these pictures of Daddy and I making a HUGE mess in the kitchen.

Daddy has just done a water change in the fish tank and was cleaning out the bucket. He called me in and showed me what happened if I blew on a hose full of water. I got pretty good at making the water jump out of the hose.

As you can see, Daddy was MUCH better though!

Then we turned our little game into “LET’S SOAK MOMMY!!!” Mommy didn’t like that game. But the kitchen was soaking wet anyway. This was a LOT of fun and seeing how frustrated the water all over the place made Mommy made me giggle even more, Daddy too!

So we are in the home stretch and this is my last weekend as an only child. Mommy and Daddy wanted to do something special for me today because tomorrow Grandma Susie is watching me for most of the day. This was the last real day for a family of three outing! We ended up leaving the house around 8am and heading to Clearwater Beach, isn’t that were everyone goes in mid-January? I was excited…. very excited! I was jumping around the house screaming “BEACH BEACH BEACH… YEAH We Going to the BEACH!!!!”

Daddy helping me with my sand toys as we built a few small castles.

I was in high gear and running practically the entire time we were there!

Daddy showed me how to make “sand angels” since snow angels were pretty much out of the question.

I decided I was a wrecking crew and knocked over all the sandcastles Daddy had built for me!

Mommy sat still too long and Daddy and I buried her feet in the sand!

Then I wanted to go see the “ocean!” Mommy explained it is the Gulf of Mexico but I didn’t care! Daddy took me down to the water, rather I took Daddy! The water was a bit chilly but that didn’t bother me!

JUMP when the waves come!!! See I CAN jump now!!!!

Soaking wet after the waves and taking a breather in the sand.

“HELP the waves are chasing me!!!”

High gear run with hands full of sand toys.

Daddy and I braving the cold water. Those waves weren’t TOO big but were wet and cold!

All done in the water.. My “Cheesy cheesy cheese” smile.

We got all cleaned up and ran a few errands and then went to Frenchy’s Rockaway Grill for lunch. I LOVE there calamari!

Home now for a nap and then more fun this afternoon.

Mommy and I took the mini-van to get it cleaned and detailed before the baby comes. I like the “car wash doctor” because they sell circle shaped peanut butter crackers! It takes one pack of crackers to equal the time it takes to wash the car.

Also, yesterday, for the first time in ages I was really into my Gymboree classes. My art class we were pretending it was SNOWING… using packing peanuts. I laughed and giggled at this. I think I liked it more than the rent of the kids combined!

We also did “shaving cream ice skating” again! Mommy laughed at all the toddlers stripped to diapers and rolling in the shaving cream. Mommy said she didn’t take pictures of it because she was afraid of all the shaving cream on the diapered kids!

Next was my play class. We pretended everything was “fire truck” related. Here is a shot of me and several friends riding along in the fire truck! I had a LOT of fun!

Today, I demonstrated a new task at breakfast. Daddy was picking on Mommy (who was up most of the night with discomfort and what she called Braxton Hicks Contractions). Daddy said to Mommy “s-e-x will fix it!” Mommy snarled at Daddy and then I repeated over and over at the top of my lungs “S-E-X…. S-E-X…” Mommy snarled even more!

Mommy got about 3 hours sleep. She said it could have been four to four and a half if a fire engine had not gone racing down the local highway by the house. I have very keen hearing and immediately woke up and started shouting “FIRE TRUCK… WEEE_oooo_WEEEEEE_Oooooo”. That was the end of sleep because it was “DAYTIME MOMMY DAYTIME… FLY ME DOWN!!!!!” Mommy growled at the clock… 6:15. UGH! Normally I can play quietly for about an hour…. not today!
