Anniversary

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

My folks tell me that today is a special day: It is their wedding anniversary. Is it special enough for cake and candles? Apparently not!
I saw mama writing up a card for papa and I wasn’t asked to help with my crayons. Papa already bought mama a two-in-one present on Mother’s Day (cheapskate!), but I [...]

Moolah!

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

I overhead papa telling mama about a CNN article about a famous baby who has yet to be born. Apparently there are people who might be willing to pay a lot of money for a photo of that baby!
Wow! If a picture is worth a thousand words, then each of those words might be worth [...]

SNAG

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

Papa thinks that while I have very thick skin, I may have a sensitive soul.
You see, I get punished when I do something naughty. I used to cry when my hand got smacked, but now I mostly just go “Ow!” and potter along. I also know how to quickly say “Sorry, mama!” or “Sorry, papa!” [...]

Focus

Friday, May 19th, 2006

Apparently there is one part of me that is very long. Some people say that length doesn’t matter, some believe it does.
I am told that I have a very long attention span (what were you thinking?!).
Some people have noticed that I can sit and focus on things. I will sit and eat instead of running [...]

Hail!

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

I have heard hail falling against our window before, but I saw those blobs of ice for the first time today.
Papa and I were looking out the window during the rain when it began to hail. They so clonked loudly against the window pane! We also saw some hail lying in the grass and parking [...]

“Improv”

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006

I like to do comedy “improv”.
I used to like singing about Old MacDonald and his farm (E-I-E-I-O!). But after a while, Old MacDonald and his farm (E-I-E-I-O!) got a bit tiresome, even if we sang about his tractor.
One day, when papa went “And on his farm he had a…”, I said, “Pizza!” Why not? It’s [...]

Season?

Monday, May 15th, 2006

Can anyone tell me what season it is?
The reason I ask is that we are heading towards summer but it almost felt like winter last week. Even the furnace kicked in a few times… oh, the comforting hum of the gas fire and fan at night!
But I can’t figure out what to wear! I was [...]

Mama’s day

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

Today is Mother’s Day. So what happens today? Do we get cake? No? OK, then… do we get balloons? No?!
Papa tells me that we appreciate mama today (only today?). Hmm, can’t we show our appreciation with cake, candles, and balloons? To show her how much we love her we should have ice cream and chocolate [...]

M & W

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

I like playing with my squishy, colorful letters and numbers. I like to pour them out on the carpet, randomly select them, and name them one by one!
I identify them all correctly, of course, and mama or papa praise me each time. Wah, if praise had any nutritive value, I’d be morbidly obese by now!
I [...]

Sharp-eyed

Friday, May 12th, 2006

I like going to stores or supermarkets because there are so many things to see.
Marsh has got to be one of my favorites. Many of the interesting things I see there are also yummy to eat too!
My folks can count on me to help them with the groceries. Not only do I like to [...]
