Bugs

Why doesn't Mommy like bugs? I brought her one this morning and she jumped a little and said "Ewww!". Then she had me throw it in the trash. I like bugs. I especially like picking them up and bringing them to show Mommy.

Mommy's note: Why does she have to pick them up? She was carrying a dead cricket by its leg. At first I thought it was one of the kids' rubber toys but, noooo, it was a real dead cricket. I try not to overreact because I don't want her to be scared of bugs, but they're soooo yucky. Why does she have to pick them up?

That's MY Baby!

My Great-Great-Aunt Esther comes and picks the baby up sometimes and takes him away and I don't like it. That's MY baby. Mommy says she always brings him back but what if she doesn't this time? I cry & cry when she takes him away - at least for a few minutes. Then its actually kind of fun without him because Mommy can spend more time with me! But I'm still always happy to see him come back.

I'm TWO!!!

I had a ladybug cake for my birthday. It was okay. BUT the ICE CREAM was "Dishes!" (Delicious) I even asked for MORE.

Zoo

We went to the zoo on Monday for my birthday. It was the first time I've ever gone to the zoo. It was great. There was a lot of open space for me to run away. I think there may have been some animals there too. I did like the polar bear - he swam around and looked at us - but he didn't get any of us. The budgies were really cool too. We went into their cage and Mommy & Hayden fed them and let them land on their fingers. Meredith didn't want them to land on her and I was way too excited for them to do that. I did almost step on several of them though. But it wore me out. I'm still tired today. That doesn't mean I'm going to take a good nap though!

New Record

Mommy says I set a new record today. We were all only up for 15 minutes today before I started getting on her and Hayden's nerves. Can I help it if I'm the only one in this house who wakes up ready to go? I mean, what are they waiting for? Mommy says she needs time to wake up in the morning - she's up, her eyes are open, what's the problem? Let's go, let's go! It's time to dump out the toys and sit in the box. G'Bye.

GUESS WHO'S ALMOST TWO!

That's right. ME!
Three more days until my birthday!
