“Bubble!”

Thursday, July 21st, 2005

When I turned one in May, mama and papa organized a bubble fest for me and the rest of the playgroup. The parents who blew bubbles almost turned blue in the face from all that blowing!
Since then, my folks have bought a “bubble gun” that makes lots of bubbles. I love playing with the bubbles! [...]

Farm boy

Thursday, July 21st, 2005

Today the playgroup met at Dillman Farm.
It was cool… the farm that is! It was actually a very hot and sticky day. It was so hot that I wish someone made thong diapers! It was so sticky that when I got hugged, both hugger and huggee had to push each other away to separate!
I had [...]

A la cart

Wednesday, July 20th, 2005

I helped mama and papa with grocery shopping at Marsh today.
I walked around the aisles and critiqued the food and drink. I distracted other shoppers and smiled at them. As a result, they probably bought more than they should have, so Marsh should pay me a commission!
Today was also the second time that I pushed [...]

Squirrel?

Tuesday, July 19th, 2005

Papa says that I am like a squirrel. Yah, I also went “Huh?”
It’s not because I have a furry little butt. Neither is it because I have dark, shiny eyes nor because I like to grab at nuts.
Apparently I am a squirrel because I like to store food for later consumption. I leave it on [...]

Wash hands

Sunday, July 17th, 2005

I know how to wash my hands.
Papa says “Rinse!” and I put my hands under running water. He says “Wash!” and I rub them together with soap. He says “Rinse!” again and I wash the soap off. Yeah, I know that it’s a neat trick but I don’t know what the big deal is!
My folks [...]

Poop war

Sunday, July 17th, 2005

I am declaring a war with mama and papa!
Ever since I was 7 months old, my folks have been plopping me on the toilet bowl to encourage me to poop there. At first I cooperated and pooped where they wanted.
But a throne should not have a hole in the seat! It’s hard to feel like [...]

Wee! Wee!

Saturday, July 16th, 2005

Yellow river, yellow river! I think you know where this is going, but don’t get too far ahead of me.
Mama took a turn at bathing me earlier this week because papa injured himself. (The things that man will do to get out of doing things for me!) As mama waited for the water to warm [...]

Apple!

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

I can say the word “apple” now. That is the brand of mama’s computer and that is what I am to papa’s eye. Hee-hee!
Actually, mama has been feeding me Cameo apples lately and they are yummy. I also see them on display at Marsh. So I thought I should be able to ask for them [...]

Cool relief

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

What a relief! We have enjoyed two cooler days in a row now.
Papa thinks that Hurricane Dennis had such an impact on the weather over the continental US that it brought rain and lower temperatures to the mid-West. I don’t care what he thinks! Cool is cool!
But my body didn’t agree with my mind. I [...]

I’ll show you

Tuesday, July 12th, 2005

For cryin’ out loud, I am a boy!
If I could speak, that is what I would shout or scream at the people who mistake me for a girl! Every time I go out, at least one person will refer to me as a “she” or “her”.
One person even thought that I was two-years-old! I know [...]
