Numbers

I am a prize winning negotiator. The current prize is pretzel sticks.

Me: Can I have 1?
Momma: No!
Me: 2?
Momma: No!
Me: Please?
Momma: If you know what comes next I'll give them to you!
Me: Huh?
Momma: What comes after 2?
Me: 3!
Momma: Here you go!
Me: She gave me 3!

I can't believe for the longest time I thought 4 came after 2. I was such a baby! But now I'm big!

Me

I am a strong willed child. I'd say more but I have villages to terrorize.

Candy!

Last night momma and Grandma took me and Thomas to Halloween! We went up to doors and I got to knock and ring the doorbell and I thought about saying "Trick-or-treat" and they gave me candy! Lots and lots of candy! It was so much fun! I was a farmer. I wore my overalls and a flannel shirt and carried my hoe. Well, momma carried my hoe. And my bag of candy. It was bigger than me and too heavy. But people gave me the candy to put in the bag. I got mad if I didn't get to touch it and put it in the bag myself.

I had so much fun!

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Potty Training

Mommy and daddy are working on potty training me. Kinda. They let me run around naked and demand I sit on the potty every now and then. Then if I pee everyone shouts "Yea" and I get a hot wheel car from daddy's stash. Daddy has been stashing away hot wheel cars when he can because he knew I'd be potty training soon.

I still pee in my diaper a lot. And I still wear a diaper a lot.

I don't know, really, how this whole potty training thing is going. I don't know if mommy and daddy are going to be switching me to pull-ups. I just don't know.

What I do know is that daddy and mommy are sick of changing my diaper. And diapers are getting to be expensive.

So I guess check back and I'll let you know how things are going.

An Adventure

So Tuesday night I woke up with a scream and a cough. Daddy came running and got me out of my crib. It was 10pm. This time I didn't ask, they just talked about it.

When daddy got me I was barking like a seal and having a lot of trouble breathing so he got mommy. They took turns with Grandpa watching me while everyone got dressed.

Then we got in the car and went to this big place called a hospital. Mommy said it was because I had croup. Daddy said it was because it might be asthma. I said it was time for an adventure.

They gave me this funny bracelet and said I needed to keep it on. It was fun to take on and off and to throw on the ground.

After awhile, momma said it was about 12:30, we left the waiting room with the fishies and I got to go back to this big room with a big bed that was all for me. Really quickly the room filled with people. One lady asked momma and daddy all kinds of questions like where we lived and where they work. The rest asked them questions about my cough and my trouble breathing and how long it had been going on.

I got to see a breathing specialist btw. I think it's because I'm special.

Everyone kept sticking this weird thing on my chest and back to listen to me breath. It was cold but I stayed really still for it. Everyone was so proud of me.

After a little bit they determined it was croup. So that means momma was right but the doctor said it can be really tricky to tell the difference between croup and asthma so daddy very easily could have been right.

The pretty nurse put this funny thing on my finger that hooked me up to a computer that beeped when I eventually took the thing on my finger off. Daddy said it was for my heart rate.

After awhile they gave me this thing called a steroid. It tasted funny. But they also gave me apple juice to wash it down. It was in this little cup with a straw. I like straws. They make me feel big.

After awhile I got bored. Daddy and momma kept trying to make me lie back in the bed and keep my covers on. I was ready to play. I mean it was 2am! Time to party!

So I threw a temper tantrum.

Daddy said it was roid rage.

Whatever that is.

After a little more waiting the doctor said I could go home. I was breathing lots better by that point and wasn't coughing as much. Besides I was ready to go back to bed.

We got home at 2:30. I didn't ask, momma just told me. Momma let me sleep down in the basement with her. I remember getting a hug and a kiss and then the next thing I knew it was noon the next day.

Then Thursday, momma took me to see Dr Budin. She said he needed to listen to my lungs to make sure everything is clear. I like Dr Budin. Momma says everyone likes Dr Budin. He's a funny guy and tells me I'm neat and special.

Dr Budin gave me a clean bill of health, whatever that means. And then we got to go home. But first I got two stickers! They were trains! Pretty much worth being sick.

So now I'm left with a runny nose and a small cough. But I feel pretty ok.

Not my brother though. Last I heard he had the seal bark and momma was making him sit in the bathroom with the shower running. And now! Now he gets to sleep with momma! In her bed even! I always have to sleep in the pack 'n' play. Lucky.

Time

I'm very fascinated with what time it is and what day it is. I ask mommy and daddy all the time. I'm not sure what the answer means yet, but at least I know.

Guess What!

I figured out how to open doors!

Hair, The Pics

Books

Momma said she might have to take my books away from me. I keep destroying them. It seems the more I love a book, the more I tear it up. So much for board books being indestructible.

Momma says when she has the money there are a few she wants to replace. But right now she doesn't see the point because I'd just destroy them again.

Hair

I hope you all weren't attached to my hair. I wanted a buzz cut like my brother. And what Luke wants, Luke gets.

Pics later. Momma has been busy.

Time Out

Bear

Momma: I love you hugga bear!
Me: I not a bear!
Momma: You are! You're my hugga bear!
Me: I not a bear!
Momma: You and Thomas are my baby bears, I'm the momma bear and daddy is the dada bear.
Me: Daddy is a bear?
*goes over to examine*
Me: Daddy not a bear! Daddy is a daddy!

My Bed

For a long while I was sleeping downstairs with momma ever night. I slept in my pack 'n' play by momma's bed. Now I'm back to sleeping every night in my crib upstairs. I don't mind it so much. It's nice and comfy. I have all my lovies and blankies and room to spread out. I miss sleeping next to momma kinda. I really don't like that grandpa wakes me up so early. Momma always let me sleep til I woke up. I'll get use to all this.

Walks

Momma and I have been exploring the neighborhood. I get to decide where we are going and momma just follows along behind me. It's not the biggest neighborhood but I manage to find every sidewalk on our journeys. I like exploring.

Yay!

Daddy and Aunt Stacy took me and Lily (Stacy's niece) to the zoo today! The zoo is so much fun! I got to see all kinds of animals. My favorite animal was the "duck" (goose) that tried to eat me. Me and daddy fed him cheerios. Daddy loved the white bears best. He says we have to take momma back to see them. Momma couldn't come because she was out shopping with Grandma. I had so much fun today!

Hehe

I have mastered the fine art of getting my brother in trouble. All I have to do is holler "OW" when I'm alone with him. Works like a charm. Until momma figures it out, anyways.

Trouble

Momma and daddy have this new thing they do to me when I'm in trouble. They call it time-out. I call it horrible and torture. They make me sit on the floor and I'm not allowed to touch anything or talk for like a million minutes.

Then, when I suck my thumb because I'm upset, daddy yells at me to get my thumb out of my mouth. I like sucking my thumb! Daddy says I'm to big for it. I still suck it in my sleep though and when daddy's not looking. Momma yells at me to stop too, but not as much as daddy does. I think it bothers daddy more than it bothers momma.

I hate getting in trouble.

Monster

I am a monster. And I don't mean the cookie loving kind, though I do love cookies.

It seems I'm in the throws of the terrible twos: I whine, I talk back, I scream, I throw things.

Momma and daddy swear they still love me but I think I'm lucky I'm so cute. Because well, I'm pretty adorable.

I'm not all bad. I love kisses and hugs and cuddling. I read stories with momma and use her legs as a road for my cars.

But I am pretty angry these days.

Good Day

While Thomas had an eye appointment, I got to eat oreos and gummy worms in the front seat of the van with daddy.

I had a banana for lunch. Bananas are one of my favorite foods. I would have even more than just the banana but my belly was full from the eye appointment snack.

I got the watch the chipmunk movie downstairs with Thomas.

Oh, and I got to show momma I also know how to climb into my pack'n'play, when it's up against the bed. I can climb out no matter where it's at. I just hitch my leg up over the side and swing down. I don't even hurt my head and scream anymore.

I had two dinners. First I had the bowl of cereal I requested but then later right before bed I got some turkey and mashed potatoes with mommy and daddy. They called me their tater tot.

I got to play cars with momma. I used her legs as the road.

All in all, it was a good day.

Big Boy

I can put on my own shorts now. Sometimes I get both legs stuck down the same leg hole, but I'm getting better. I'm a big boy now!

I don't like help with things. I like to do all sorts of things by myself. I'm very independent.

I'm also very moody. I'm quick to temper. Momma says I'm slowly trying to kill her.

"I Write in My Blog!"

My Bear

My momma and daddy's friend Cindy sent me a teddy bear. He is a really nice bear too. He is so soft. He doesn't have fur so I can't eat the fur. Momma says this is a good thing. I don't know what fur tastes like so I don't know if it's good or not. I call the bear "My Bear" and that is his name for now. I like my bear.

Milestone

I can get out of my pack-n-play now. Though the landing hurts my head and makes me cry. Well, scream. It hurts!

New Layout

What do you guys think of my new blog layout? Momma found it for me and daddy called it fitting. Comment and tell me what you think!

Running

I was running, running, running but then I was falling, falling, falling and now I have a skinned knee. I didn't cry though. I'm a big boy.

Joe

I got to see Joe last night. Joe is Auntie Rachel's boyfriend. We went shopping at Kroger's with Joe. I like Joe. Everytime he was out of sight I asked everyone "Where's Joe?" I had to be sure we didn't lose him. And then when he came back into sight I'd tell everyone "There he is!" because I found him all but myself. I like Joe.

Cookie Monster

Momma taught me how to say cookie monster, because I am the Cookie Monster. Auntie Rachel taught me how to demand cookies. Grandma makes the best cookies. I love cookies.

Fun Day

I got to go to Brenda's house. She made this yummy thing called ham. I love ham. Then I got to look for these colorful eggs in her front yard. They had yummy candy and money inside them. I was good at spotting the eggs because I was close to the ground. I carried my basket with me and picked them up off the ground and put them in my basket. I also got to fly a kite with momma. She even let me hold the string. Oh! And I ate 4 cookies! They had m's in them.

I was the hit of the house. Everyone made a fuss over me. Because I'm so cute. And they all know it.

Easter Phase 1

I got a basket. It was full of crayons and candy and a whoopie cushion and a harmonica and a kazoo and trucks and all sorts of stuff. It was so cool! Momma says I have more coming on Sunday. Uncle Rob and Jen brought me this basket. I really love them and I think they kinda like me.

Sleepy Time

I've spent the last few weeks sleeping down in momma and daddy's room. I think momma likes having me close. And I like sleeping down with her. Tonight however it worked out for the best that I sleep up in my bed in me and Thomas's room. Then momma realized that while I have blankies in my bed, I have none to cover up with. And I like covering up. So momma got me a nice warm blankie that I could sleep with. We'll see how sleeping in my own room works out. I'm thinking about staging a mutiny at 2 am. Works every time like a charm.

So Silly

Grandpa put monkey in a coffee can and put the lid on. Grandpa is so silly.

Cheers

So momma taught me how to do cheers with glasses. You know, when you bump them together. And I went cheers with my glass and her glass that was sitting on her desk. Only her glass spilled coffee all over her desk. It even got on her camera thing called a D80 (yes the big one). Luckily the camera still works. And luckily momma is only a little mad at me and is mostly mad at herself for teaching me cheers.

So watch out grandma. When I'm at your house this weekend, don't leave glasses where I can reach them. I might try to cheers them.

Oooops

I wore blue gatorade. It was on momma's desk and I went to take a sip but I missed my mouth and it went everywhere. Momma felt so bad for leaving it where I could reach it that she poured me some into my cup for me.

Played Outside

Today I discovered this magical place called the playground. There are these big things on them called slides. I like to go down slides. Momma has to help get me started at the top but then I go down myself and land on my bottom at the bottom. It's so much fun!

Momma let me play out front of the house yesterday. I got to run up and down the sidewalk. Momma also blew me bubbles to chase down. Normally she blows them inside because it's too cold outside. But it's getting warmer outside now. I like chasing bubbles.

Counting

Momma: Count to 5 for me.
Momma: 1
Me: 2
Momma:3
Me: 4
Momma: 5! Way to go!

I counted to 5!

Om Nom Nom Nom

Momma was singing the nom nom nom song. Daddy made her stop. So I started singing the nom nom nom song. I'm funny.

Song Here

Magic

Momma has this special stick that she puts in this special water that makes these magical things called bubbles that pop when I catch them.

I like bubbles.

Something Happened

Momma and Daddy called it throwing up. All I know is my tummy hurt and then stuff came out of my mouth. It tasted so gross. And it made my car seat, clothes and blankies all gross.

I was up very late watching tv and being all sick and stuff. So momma let me sleep in.

She didn't let me eat much today. I ate a lot of cheerios. They were good though and didn't upset my belly. Then for a snack later I got vanilla waffers. Then for dinner I got pancakes with nothing on them. All really boring stuff but momma said it would all be gentle on my belly and she's always right.

I feel much better today.

Guess What!

I peed in the potty! I peed in the potty! I peed in the potty! I peed in the potty!

Monkies and Brothers

Daddy to David: Don't Bogart the monkey
Me: Bogart!
Daddy: Bogart?
Me: Bogart the monkey!
Daddy: Your monkey's name is Bogart?
Me: Bogart! The! Monkey!
Daddy: Bogart the monkey it is.

My monkey now is named Bogart. I love Bogart.

I told "Brother" "ni-ni" tonight before bed. Brother is a good name for him until I can say Thomas better. I don't know why momma and daddy had to pick such a hard name for my brother.

I even went to bed without fighting. I told everyone "ni-ni", ran to my bed and lay down to be covered.

I'm spending the weekend at Grandma's. Momma and daddy were going to a wedding. Daddy ended up having to stay home, but momma still went. I like spending time with Grandma.

Sleepy time now.

I Don't Get It

If momma and daddy spent so long trying to teach me how to talk, why do they got so frustrated when I refuse to stop? So what if I get louder when they are trying to talk. I need to be heard!

In related news, I can say Hi in Chinese, I just don't know what it means yet.

I Has A Cute

So whenever Grandma gives me a bath she wraps me up in a towel and sings "Baby, Burrito" to me. So today when momma gave me a bath and wrapped me up in a towel I sang "Baby, Burrito" to her. Then she kissed me. Yick.

So Silly

Daddy is so silly. He's trying to teach me how to say, "I pity da fool."

Rachel taught me how to demand cookies. "Cookie! Cookie! Cookie!"

Grandma and momma are trying to teach me how to say, "I love you!"

They are all so silly. I say what I want, when I want!

Me And My Monkey

Here

My Day

I had a long day today. Me and daddy took momma to work this morning. I hate taking her to work. I like it much better when she stays home with me. Then daddy and I went shopping at the grocery store. Then we came home and had lunch. Daddy bought me chicken nuggets and fries. They were good. After lunch we went to go get momma from work. She got to come home to me early because her job was dead. I'm not sure what dead means or how it can happen to a store, but I like it. I napped on the way to get momma and bringing her home, so I was well rested. I played for a little bit with toys then me and momma snuggled on the couch. After we snuggled momma took me down stairs to watch Nick Jr while she rested some. She kept saying she had a headache. I get those. They are no fun. After we watched some tv I ate dinner. Actually, I didn't really eat much. I ate the cheese and the bread part of a cheeseburger. I don't really like hamburger. Daddy knows this but he still keeps trying. After dinner Momma gave me a bath and then Grandpa read me stories on the sofa. Soon I'll play quietly, well noisily really, until it's time to go to bed.

Today I grew an attachment to my stuffed monkey. I made daddy let me take him everywhere I went today. I love monkey lots.

I also threw a temper tantrum when Grandpa tried to leave me to go back upstairs after reading with me. I grabbed at his legs and asked him not to leave. I love my Grandpa. He is so much fun.

I'm forming opinions. I have likes and dislikes. Desires and wishes. Hopes and dreams. I might be little but I'm big on the inside.

My Theme Song

Cranky Baby

I'm hungry. I'm tired. My brother keeps picking on me. My daddy is tormenting me. Somebody feed me and then leave me alone! Being 2 is hard work.

Hello World

My momma has a blog. My daddy has a blog. Even my big brother has a blog. So it's my turn to have a blog.

I will post all about my life for you to read.
