A few of my favorite things

Cartoons on YouTube about doggies or kittens
going outside - even if I have to wear mittens
Bright colored books and shoes without strings
these are a few of my favorite things.

Acting like a pony or drawing some doodles
Rasins and juice and hotdogs with noodles
Playing in nursery and learning to sing
these are a few of my favorite things.

Blankie, cars, or any sport with a ball
I also like running - especially down the hall
Seeing my family and all the love that they bring
these are a few of my favorite things.

When in time out
Or when Mom yells
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad.

I think I can..(with Mom's help)

Hey guys -

Today was another Tuesday and I got to go to Book Babies. We actually made it on time today (no thanks to Mom - she is so hard to get ready & get out the door in the morning) so we got a seat and got to listen to the whole thing. I was a little mad because I wanted to read the lion book but Mom made me wait until the librarian had read it to the group - what a party pooper.

After library (with the awesome fishes and tons of books to pull off the shelves), lunch (cookies and chicken nuggets), and nap - we went to this cool place called McDonalds. I've been there before, but that was months ago.

This time I got Mom to come all the way up the winding tunnels with me. But I climbed all by myself - I only needed her there to encourage me and take all the static away (with her crazy hair sticking up)!

Isn't that awesome! I am just getting bigger every day. Pretty soon I won't need her to follow up all the way up - which is good because she likes to just sit at the bottom (even though that is REALLY boring).

Off to sneak in some youtube before Mom catches me on her computer.

Love you,
Buddy

Helping Mommy

I just thought I would let you guys know that I am becoming such a good helper to Mom & Dad. I'm really good at helping with laundry - I make sure all the clothes that are in the basket come out and I collect socks and take them away from the matching pile to somewhere else in the house. I'm helping with dishes in the dishwasher the same way and I'm the official inspector of Tupperware and pans. I make sure the ones in the cupboard are clean by taking them out and putting them on the floor so they get a double trip in the dishwasher. I'm trying to help with garbage but Mommy & Daddy reserve that fun job for themselves (and always catch me before I can help).

Today was different though. Mommy was really grouchy and so when she got home from work, I suggested we go to a park that she's wanted to go to for a long time. We picked up Crazy bread and pizza and took a picnic to a special park. It was HUGE guys! There were a ton of people, trees, dogs, and birds. After we finished eating we went for a stroller ride around part of the park and we saw so many awesome things. My favorite had to be the birds. At this park they have this big pond and there are geese and seagulls and sparrows and ducks. We saw a family of ducks (with little baby ones) and I tried to convince Mom that I needed to get closer so I could show them how to splash in the water - but she said that it was dirty. But it was still really cool.

Tomorrow I'll post some pictures on our Picasa site. For now it's getting late (and I didn't have very good naps today at the sitters, so I'm tired).

Loves & Slobbers,

Buddy

So Cool

Hey !

Guess what I did today? I actually drank out of my sippy cup. I've been playing with it for a while now - but mostly I've just gotten really wet. But today at dinner I tipped it up & drank from the right part & it was amazing. Water came into my mouth.

Anyway.... really cool. Oh, and don't forget to check out our picasa album to keep up with all that I'm doing.

Love you all,

Buddy

Note from Buddy

Hey guys!

I am having an amazing time the last couple of days.

I went to the doctor on Thursday and the pediatrician said I have another double ear infection (and still have my nasty cough). Also, I need to eat more table food - so SCORE! I now get to eat everything Mom & Dad eat.

We took an airplane to gma & gpa fitch's house. I didn't mind take off and landing hardly at all. The thing that really bugged me was having to sit on Mom & Dad's lap for almost two hours. No crawling or walking around - I got SO bored. I was even trying to get the guy sitting next to my mom to play with me (but he only wanted to play with his ipod). Oh & I had a huge stinky right as we were landing - ha ha.

When I got to grandma's it was a little different but starting Friday - I got to meet some more of my cousins & boy are they awesome! We play with the toys & I follow them around. It's just so much fun, I don't want to go to sleep because I might miss something. Mom doesn't really understand and kind of gets frustrated with me when I want to skip my naps or play all night (I've even tried waking up in the middle of the night but Mom insists that I go back to bed).

Tonight we had an awesome wedding / party. My Uncle Evan & Aunt Ty got married and it was really cool. My dad was up front with all his brothers (as groomsmen) and I wanted to go up there too. My mom kept saying "No" and wouldn't let me crawl up there. So I decided that I would add my own two cents and shout during the ceremony. Mom was embarrassed, but everybody laughed so it turned out ok. Then we had a dinner with vegetables and bread and I even got to try prime rib (it was awesome). I didn't try the fish, my mom didn't think I would like it. After dinner they had toasting (whatever that is) and then dancing. It was fun to dance with the bride (Aunt Ty), my cousins, and my mom and dad. Dad was really dancing a lot - he's funny.
We all had a really fun time.

Well I guess I better get some sleep (to make my mom & dad happy and so I can have enough energy for church tomorrow).

Love you everybody - screech at you soon!
