It is great to be me!!!

Well life is pretty good for me right now. A couple of weekends ago my Uncle Chris came and visited me. He was here all weekend and I was spoiled rotten the whole time! My mom is still recovering from that spoiling. I am big into throwing myself down on the ground and screaming when I don't get my way. Usually one of my siblings, or my aunts pick me up and make it all better. There are times though that only my mom is around and she does not give in to me. Well, not right away anyway. Usually if I am persistent enough and scream loud enough, she will at least give in and take me to the park. There are only a handful of things that really make me mad: Not being outside, not being able to climb on the table, not being able to drink what you are drinking, and when my brother and sister walk away from me and are not there to entertain me. I am a tag-along and I am very entertained by everything my brother and sister do. My favorite thing to do is go to the park and hang out with them and their friends. My mom loves it when I am entertained at the park so she can make supper. I love to climb on everything right now. I am a daredevil and I have no fear. I can climb on anything, you name it, I can climb on it. I can even stand on things that barely have room for my feet to balance on. I am a bit of a wild child. We went to Toys R Us last week and my mom convinced my dad that he needed to buy me a basketball hoop. I smiled at him and he caved. I am a little charmer like that. Anyway, I have a new basketball hoop and I spend a lot of time shooting hoops. My mom moved a lot of my toys and ALL of my balls out to the porch, so I spend most of my inside time there. I stand in the door and watch all of the other kids that get to be outside and scream at my mom about how it is not fair. My life is so rough, I know!! I have not been sleeping well lately. I go for like 3 days sleeping well and then I go on a 4 day stretch of getting up and screaming several times during the night. My mom is getting pretty tired of this nonsense. She says I am a big boy now and I need to stop interrupting her sleep. I am sorry, but I like to check on my mom sometimes during the night to make sure she is doing ok. Sometimes my dad tries to come in and help me, but that makes me even more mad. I scream even louder when my dad comes in the room. I think he is confused, I wake up and scream because I want to check on my mom, not my dad. Oh well, I think they are slowly learning. Well, I have lost my train of thought so I am going to wrap this up. I have to call my grandma and see if she can come pick me up tonight because my mom is stuck in yet another meeting, jeez, she sure does get stuck in those a lot!
Take Care!

Easter

Hello everyone! I just wanted to give you an update on Easter and the other awesome thing that happened over the last week. First, Easter! I had a great time playing outside and getting my Easter eggs. I was however very confused because my mom got me eggs that look like balls and I could not for the life of me figure out why Grandma's lawn was full of balls! Anyway, with the help of both mommy and daddy, I got the job done. I got lots of fun stuff in my Easter basket from the Easter Bunny. The best present of all was the basketball hoop. I threw the ball into the hoop all afternoon and night. My mom finally made me go to bed at 8:30. I love that basketball hoop. I can slam dunk and shoot the ball. I get really close to the hoop though and so mom is trying to get me to back up a little and work on my free throw and 3 point range shots. Give me time mom! I also got a bat that looks like a carrot....look out, I don't quite understand that everything is not for hitting. Sorry, I am only 1 you know. The other exciting news is that my brother moved in with me last weekend. He is my most favorite person in the world. I get so happy every time I see him. I can even say, "Hi Chuckie" I can hardly eat dinner when he is at the table because I am so busy smiling and laughing at him. I try to do everything he does and I follow him around the house like a little puppy. I really hate it when he has friends over because he kind of ignores me and I just don't understand why. He also takes me to the park and plays with me. My bother coming to live with me is the best thing in the whole wide world. I have overheard mommy talking about how much she likes it too....something about how he is such a big help with me. Please, like I am a problem.....come on!!! I have a real problem hitting other kids and my dog. My mom is trying to get me to stop but I think I am just so cute when I do it. She tells me NO, moves me to another spot in the room and walks away from me. I scream, get up and go back and do it again. I don't know how you feel about this, but I think it is a pretty fun game. Mommy told me that as soon as my uncle Chris gets a new car he might come to see me. I have not seen him since Christmas and I can do so much more now. I heard he might even want to take me on at the basketball court.....ever been beat by a 1 year old? Well, look out!!!! If you practiced as much as me, you would be this good too! Well, I suppose that is probably enough for now. I must get back to my obsession, and I might even sneak a nap in there somewhere!
Take care
