Friday morning, I woke up with Dad after Mom had left for work. I made Dad read my new poop book (yes, you read that right) six times before going downstairs! We cooked an egg and just as I finished eating breakfast, Nana came as usual. We had a great morning and I was in a wonderful mood. We read books and played with my toys. I ate a banana and cheese snack around 10 and then went to bed around 11. By the way, some of my favorite toys are my pumpkins (a big one and two baby pumpkins), my penguin, and my soccer ball!
Mom got home in the afternoon and we hung out. Mom tried to get to me take a nap with her, but that didn’t work too well. I had dinner at the usual time and then Grandpapa came over. In order to get me to eat he made airplane noises and had food flying in my mouth. I loved it! After dinner, I started screaming “Lego! Lego!” because that’s what we always play together, but he didn’t come early enough for play time and I had to go to sleep. Papa stayed around while Mom and Dad went out to dinner to celebrate her 2^5th birthday!
I got up on Saturday with Dad and we played and read (quietly!) in my room before heading downstairs. We cooked an egg and before I knew it, Mom came downstairs. Dad and I took off for the grocery store, but then picked up Mom before heading over to grocery stores two and three (yes, our weekly trip now includes three stops — it used to be just one!!). Mom is a very slow shopper, but that just gives Dad and I more time to run around the store and cause trouble. I loved the free cheese and bread samples today.
When we got home, I had lunch and then got ready for my nap, which was pretty short. When I got up, Dad was gone helping Nana and Papa move. I played with Mom and then we went to the park. Since it looked like it might rain, we took an umbrella — and I fell in love with it because it has a dog handle. I hugged it, kissed it, and it even rode on the swing wtih me. When I wasn’t loving my umbrella, I was scaring away other little kids with my big hugs!
I wasn’t very happy to see leaves all over the jungle gym! I kept having to stop and pick them off and put them on the ground. We went to the bank and then after we got home, we shared a seasonal treat (toash with pumpkin butter and cheese — the same kind they were giving free samples of at the store!); I learned that Mom loves to eat seaonally! Mom tried to get me to take a nap, but I wasn’t tired. When Dad got home, I helped him cook squash soup before eating dinner. I ate quite a bit of Nana’s burger, but as I was dipping it in yogurt, I realized that I liked the yogurt even more. So, I picked up the bowl of yogurt and drank it straight! Mom was horrified, but Dad was cheering me on.
After I finished it was bath time. I wanted to sit on my potty for a few minutes, which was fun even though nothing came out. Tomorrow is soccer practice!!
Last year I flew SWA!

Ms. Margaret certainly has grown to look more like Sherri and Jessie! Dad, I know she has your eyes, but the “girls” are winning this contest.
