Last night I was sitting on the sofa with Mommy and eyeballing her bowl of ice cream. She gave me a few spoonfuls but soon it was all gone. I got off Mommy’s lap and climbed off the sofa and immediately went over to Daddy, who was sitting on the floor, and climbed in his lap. Daddy had ice cream left, I finished it! Am I a REED or what!? Mommy & Daddy just sat laughing at me. 🙂

Well, it was a pretty boring weekend from my prospective. Mommy & Daddy took me shopping at the outlet mall in Ellington. I only found a few pair of jammies I liked. Mom said it is getting hard to find clothing that isn’t a sports theme! All the neat clothing is for little kids. I am a 2T already and growing fast! Mommy & I like dinosaurs, trucks, other animals or plain preppy things. Mommy said she will just resort to shopping online for now. After the mall we came home and played around the house for the rest of the day. The weather has been really icky lately. Hot and humid and very rainy.

Sunday I woke Mommy & Daddy at 6:08-am. Mommy came into my room and told me “no. go back to bed” so I did! I got up at almost 8-am. Your welcome Mommy. Grandma Susie came over and watched me while Mommy & Daddy scurried around trying to get the house ready just in case Hurricane Ernesto comes our way. I don’t think it will, but my silly parents said “better safe than sorry!” I guess I really don’t understand hurricanes yet. I just know I can’t control them, and I don’t like things I can’t control.

I discovered the spray bottle Mommy & Daddy keep on their bed to squirt cats when they misbehave. I figured out that I can squeeze the trigger handle and squirt water. I made an oopsie and had it aimed right at my own face, silly me. I got my face all wet. Oh well! Next time I will spray Daddy!!! YEAH!

This week I don’t have much planned. I am really enjoying my art class and hope that the weather cooperates so I can go to it on Friday. Probably just a lot of Gymboree this week. I am hoping that the silly construction people get their work approved and that they can pour the concrete in my new playroom this week. Mommy & Daddy are not to optimistic about it. Oh well!

I got to wear my first Band-Aid today (well, I had some after shots, but this one is because of a boo-boo). I was running from the living room into the kitchen and took a tumble. My ankle slide under the corner/hinge of the refrigerator and I cut my ankle! Ouch! Mommy and Daddy scooped me up and cleaned up my cut and put a Band-Aid on it. I don’t like getting hurt. The Band-Aid around my ankle is also kind of freaking me out 🙁 This just isn’t a good day for me. Mom and Dad couldn’t find many new clothes for me at the outlet mall and I keep grabbing my forehead like I have a headache. Should have staying in the crib this morning. Oh well, not long until bed!

Mommy & Daddy said because I was a GREAT boy today and learned so much and showed off how well I could behave (I didn’t even pull Mommy’s hair!) that they would buy me a new toy.

This is REALLY cool. It was only $21 at Costco. It is HUGE too!!

It reaches from the foyer to the kitchen!

Daddy had fun trying to catch me as I was zipping around my new play toy.


Mommy added my tunnel from Gymboree too!

I can’t wait until my new playroom is built! I will have more room for it! YIPPIE!
!

I finally figured out why I’ve been so cranky/moody and gotten such a kick out of pulling Mom & Dad’s hair. They’re idiots! Blathering, nonsensical, obtuse, idiots! Everyone keeps telling me how they are really smart. Well, let me tell you — that’s soooooo not true. I’ve been cranky & moody because they’ve not been giving me enough challenges. I was terribly bored. I wasn’t listening to them because they were only asking me to do silly simple things. Hey, Grandma, if you read this, tell Mom & Dad to shape up and start giving me more challenges. At least they got today right…

Art Class
Today was my first art class at Gymboree. It’s for kids 18 months & up (and I’m only 14 months), but Mom thought to give me a try. It was awesome! I managed to follow the directions and do a great job in class! I’m in a much better mood. (Daddy just said that I take after him — he gets cranky and moody and likes to procrastinate if the challenge isn’t big enough.) Class started with a song and greeting and then we got down to the fun stuff, with a theme of “The Sun”

• Miss Sharlene gave me a paper plate and I helped Mommy spread glue on it. I then picked up yellow things (like crepe paper, pipe cleaner bits) and stuck them in the glue. Cool huh?
• We had snack time and I sat in my chair and ate my Ritz cracker and after I was done I stayed seated! Yea me!
• The teacher hung big pieces of paper on the walls that had a big circle drawn on each of them. Mommy came over and held a bowl of yellow and orange paint. She took my hand, dipped it in the paint, and helped my with the first brush stroke. From there I was all on my own! I would dip the brush and then paint on the paper. I had fun painting the sun. (At the end I decided to stick my hand on the wet paint and put my hand-print on the painting of the kid next to me!) I only tasted the brush one time and decided it was ICKY!
• Bead stringing!!! Mommy held the string for me (she held it nice and still) and I would find the hole in the middle of the bead and put it over the end of the string (Mom said those were shoelaces — not sure what those are for sure — we all wear sandals.)

It was way fun!

So, hopefully Mom and Dad will get the idea and start upping the ante for me. I like the challenges! Keep them coming! Feel free to use the comment feature and give Mom and Dad new ideas for things to keep my mind busy!

The Past Few Days
I’ve been really bad about updating my blog. It’s been hectic. They came and tore out the patio out back to get ready for the new sunroom! That was noisy but really cool. They had a jackhammer and I could feel it vibrating inside the house! Then they came by and picked up all the old patio with a front-loader. That was incredible! Each time the front-loader would dump a bucket into the truck, I would giggle and smile! I loved watching it! Mom said they’ll be back next week to jackhammer more of the old patio out — they figured the size wrong so they need to take out more of the concrete. I can’t wait!!!!!!!

While I was watching them pick-up the concrete, check out what I figured out how to do. Mind you, I’ve never been allowed to play with the Vespa before and I’ve never seen daddy ride it. Mommy sat me on the seat and I looked over the console, reached down, turned the key, and then reached back up and hit the starter button! Then both hands went up to hold on! (Mom didn’t get any pictures of that since she was worried I would fall over!) I was kind of disappointed it wouldn’t start though. Apparently (a) it’s broken and needs to go to the shop and (b) I have to hold the brake lever in when pressing the starter button. I’m not quite big enough to do both but will be soon! Look out girls! No more clandestine meetings behind the tree at Gymboree, I’ll be coming to your place and we can go cruise before too much longer! Dad — PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get the Vespa fixed soon!

That’s it for now!
