(As portrayed by Mom & Dad)
We went to Grandma Jo’s house again this year for our cookie making marathon.
This year I was more than a bump on a log and got to help out. I got to smash cookies (don’t worry my hands were clean).
Here is a picture of me LAST year helping with cookies.
How much I have changed!!!!
My Cousin Anna was there too and she played with me for a while. I had a fun time. I even stole her slippers, Hop-hops (bunnies)
.
I had a wonderful turkey day with my family. We ate at Grandma and Grandpa Reed’s house. There was lots of yummy food, including pretzles! I especially enjoyed the playtime with my cousins Anna and Ian. They played Legos, books and lots of other games with me. I got to go to the park and play in the sand with my bucket too. I really enjoy playing with older kids because they have so much to teach me, I like learning.
I decided that I would rather have fun with the family then sleep. So I only took a brief 20 minute nap. I survived the day but barely made it until bedtime before drifting off. Two hours after Mommy & Daddy put me to bed I awoke screaming. I think I had another night terror along with the pain of my teeth. Mommy and Daddy took good care of me and I eventually went back to sleep.
Well, today I went shopping with Mommy and Granny Susie. We only went to the craft store and the Dollar store. Mommy and Granny don’t really like crowds. I don’t understand why. It is fun when there are lots of people to flirt with. Mommy said they are all just grumpy anyway on Black Friday. Mommy said I must have been tired from all hte fun yesterday because today i took a 3.5 hour nap! I just needed to catch up on my sleep Mom!
Well, I am off to play…hope everyone had a nice Turkey Day.
Okay, so I behaved really well for my photos. Aren’t I just the cutest little 17 month old boy in the world!!
I did all the poses myself without being asked! I really like the camera.
Santa, is it Christmas yet???
!
Dear Santa,
I have been a good boy all year long. Sure I had my cranky days but cutting teeth and general toodlerhood cane take the blame for those. I walk, run, eat my veggies, give hugs and kisses, pet the cats gently and am always smiling. I really like animals and the sounds that they make. I enjoy doing puzzles of all kinds and working with my mind. Mommy helped make my list so it is easy to shop. Here goes:
No-Spill Paint Cups and Brushes 6 Pack
Ramp Racer ( I REALLY like this one!)
Learning Resources Shape Shell Turtles
Small Wonder Toys Dress Up Kitty
I think that is all for now. Thanks again Santa and others. I promise to behave and not bite, kick or scream. I promise to be the good little boy that I am growing into.
Love,
Breighton S. Reed
PS: Grandma Susie suggested that Mommy remove gifts from the list if she knows someone is buying or bought it so there are no duplicates… SMART GRANNY!
Well today I was cranky again and had the trip-sies again. I was playing with a ball at Gymboree and rolled it between my legs. I looked down to see where it went and planted my head on the ground. I gave myself a nice raspberry bruise on the right side of my head. (Daddy said that is the artistic side.) I just can’t win lately! Daddy thinks some of my trips are because my feet are HUGE now and I insist on walking on my tippy-toes.
Tonight after my bath Mommy was brushing my teeth and discovered that the 3rd point of my first molar came through sometime today. She also found that the molar on the top right side of my mouth has two points through now!
I guess when I get teeth I have a BUNCH at the same time. Mommy & Daddy said that it explains my strange crankiness of late.
Thanks for checking up on my life updates.
