I was swingign today, looked up in the sky, and saw one single cloud floating up there, all by itself. I had never really noticed clouds before this. I pointed, very excited, and said, "Zee! Zee! Zee! Is it?" (Memphis translation "See! See! See! What is it?") Momma told me it was a cloud. I found it fascinating.

Lately, however, the thing in the sky that I most like to talk about is the sunshine. Today (while we were driving to Ezri's) the sun was shinning through the window, right onto me. I HATE it when it does that. I turned my head, kicked my feet, closed my eyes and wailed, "Oh no! Oh no! Su-shy! Su-shy! Oh no su-shy!"

crash

Last night I was driving my car around, and every time I crashed into something I would cry. Daddy told me, "Just floor it!" You see, if I just keep going I crash right through whatever obstacle is in my way.

Today I tried to crash through my indoor climber...and this is the result. I drove UP the slide. Thanks for the advice Dad.

8-26-08...Blossoming Acres

There is a farm in town called Blossoming Acres. They make Daddy's favorite pie - banana split pie - YUM! We went to get one today and I noticed the GORGEOUS flower field behind the barn. I frantically pointed and signed "flower! flower! flower!"Momma asked the farmer lady if we could go back there and she said yes. On our way I saw a nice doggy (I called her "daw-dee" and signed dog while panting like a dog ) and then some really small cute kittens (which I called "eee-yahs"). There were tractors back there, I said hello to each one (ha-la dra-der). Then Momma took my picture with Daddy.

8-24-08...big boy bed

Today Momma woke up and saw that I had swung one leg over my crib railing - I was trying to climb out. So bye bye crib, hello big boy bed! Momma and Daddy took me to the store and let me pick out my bedding - I chose Cars. Momma was nervous that I wouldn't go to sleep and would walk around the room, or if I did fall asleep that i might fall out of bed. I have been so so good. No problems. I don't get out of my bed by myself. when I wake up I sit up and talk to myself patiently and wait for someone to come and tell me it's okay to get up. And I haven't fallen out (but Momma put a big fluffy blanket on the floor, just in case)...
Here I am at nap time.
Here I am in bed for the night. Can you see me all covered up in there?

Momma was watching the monitor tonight when I went to sleep. I rolled around a bit, played with my dinosaur, and sat up and looked around. Then I looked down at my sheets (int he dark), pointed and said, "A car!" Then I pointed to another one and said, "Ohhh! A car!" I kept pointing, "A car! A car! A car!" They were everywhere. I was very impressed.

8-23-08...toad

Look what me and Momma caught outside tonight...a toad!!!!

I tried to give him a kiss...

...and share my choo choos with him.

8-22-08...choo choo museum

Momma and Daddy brought me to the Trolley museum today - it is a place full of TRAINS (aka "choo choos"...of course). I think it is the best place on Earth.

We started with a trip to the gift shoe where I got my very own choo choo hat and played with a bunch of choo choo toys. here you can see that Daddy's OCD may very well be hereditary...as I try to impulsively line up these choo choos.

I found a Thomas that was just my size! Peep peep!

We got to ride on 2 choo choos. One was green and the other had no roof!...can you believe it? My favorite part was hearing the whistles blow. Look! I am pretending to be a choo choo with a whistle.


There was a train table to play with...which I did, for a very, very long time.

What can I say? I LOVE choo choos!

8-21-08...a new toy

Momma got me this toy from "Once Upon A Child" yesterday. I can use all the buttons and levers to make the vehicles go. I am obsessed. I played with it for an hour straight and cried when Momma made me go outside. My favorites (of course) are the train and the car.
