I'M OUT OF CONTROL!!!!

Hello everyone! I am as wild as ever and I am making my mom crazy. I don't remember, but if I were to look back at all of the posts since I was born.....I bet each and every one of them has something referring to the fact that I make my mom CRAZY! I can't help it, really I can't! Anyway, I went to Bloomsbury Farm last weekend and had the time of my life. There was so much to do there, that I couldn't stay at one activity for very long. I got to see piggies race, I got to go in a corn maze, I got to see some animals and feed them corn, I got to play in the corn box, I got to ride on the hayrack ride, and lots and lots of other things. I really liked it there. I even got to see a real life scarecrow....I was beyond words and just stared at her for a really long time. I asked her if she knew Dorothy and she said yes. I even got my picture taken with her because I just could not believe that I was sitting next to the real life scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz. I am going to be a scarecrow for Halloween you know?! My little sister is going to be the lion, my brother is going to be the tin man and Lindsey is going to be Dorothy. I will give you 1 guess at what Mommy is going to be.........yep, you are right, the Witch! She won't need much of a costume! Shhhh....., don't tell her I said that! I have been a wild man lately, running around the house, getting into things I should not be, standing on tables, falling off chairs, beating my little sister up and doing lots of other things I know I should not be doing. I have been spending short amounts of time watching some tv, but it does not last long. Mommy always says, sit down and be quiet, or you are going to bed. Jeez mom, SOOOORRRRY!!!! I just can't! She settles for letting me stand on the couch to watch my few minutes of tv before bed, so I guess that is a good compromise right? I just can't sit still......EVER!!!!! I have been working a lot in my sand pit where the swimming pool used to be and it sure is a lot of work! I have built a barn for my horses and tractors, I have spent lots of time playing in mud puddles and also having monster truck competitions. I keep trying to get Mommy to come in with me, but she always says no. That is what I have a big brother for, he always comes in with me. Well, not always, but if I whine and cry enough, he usually gives me my way. Speaking of giving me my way, my mom has sure tried to stop giving me my way all the time and I DO NOT like it at ALL. Just this morning, I wasn't ready to go downstairs yet and she was not listening to me, she said she was going to count to 3 and then turn off the light....I even helped her count to 3 and she still turned off the light. Then she asked me if I was coming downstairs with her and I said no. You will never guess what she did then...... she left me there, in the dark, sitting on her bed. I sat up there for about 5 minutes, got into a bunch of stuff on her dresser and came downstairs happy as could be, with money in my shirt pocket! I am not sure how happy mom was about it, but at least she made her point right? Whatever....I am still the boss around that house and as soon as everyone accepts it, life will be a lot better for us all! Ok, I have spent way too much time doing the same thing and I must move on.......

Have a wonderful week!!!!!!!!

My mom is too busy!

Hello everyone! It has been a long time since my last update....sorry, my mom is so busy lately that she does not have time to help me. I have been a very big boy when I get dropped off at Aja's in the morning. I tell mom "peace out" and then go on my way to play with all of my friends. When I was learning how to be a big boy, I would get an ice cream cup from Aja's freezer at the end of each day if I did not cry. Well, here we are 1 month into school and although I have not cried for weeks....I still think I get an ice cream cup when I leave Aja's every day. Good thing Aja is so nice! I don't know what mom is going to do when Aja finally runs out of those ice cream cups. Did you know that if I don't go inside right when I get home from Aja's and eat that ice cream that it will turn into milk? I have to hurry up and get inside because I don't want my ice cream to be milk! I am still obsessed with Chuckie and will not leave his side. I think Chuckie gets really frustrated with me sometimes because he gets mad at me and tells me to go upstairs. That makes me cry and mommy tells me it will be ok, but I don't like it. I want Chuckie to play with me all the time! I am still kind of mean to Madyn, but I am getting better. I am usually only mean to her when I am up past my bedtime and when I am being crazy and she happens to get in my way....or in the way of my monster truck.....or in the way of the ball I am throwing....or in the way of the 4 wheeler I am pushing. I have been having fun pushing her around in the walker though and she thinks it is really funny. Sometimes I push her too fast and she cries, but she needs to get over it!!!!! I have been playing outside a lot by myself with my tractors and in my sand box. Last night mom could not find me, but that was because I was working in the boat. Sorry, it is broke and Daddy said it needs to be fixed. I was just trying to help. Mommy told me that if I did not get out right now, I had to go inside. She gets so mad at me sometimes and I just don't know why. I have been sleeping in mommy and daddy's bed almost every night. I go to sleep in my bed, but when I wake up I go and get into bed with mommy. I don't think Daddy likes it too much, but who asked him? Mom does not mind because she gets to keep on sleeping. Daddy says I kick him. How would he know, he snores so loud that nothing wakes him up!!!! I have been "workin" a lot lately. If you need any dirt moved, just let Mommy or Daddy know and I can come over and help! I have my own tractors and dump trucks, so you don't have to worry about that. My sister is begging for the computer and I am tired of listening to her, so I will let her have her turn. I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and GO HAWKEYES!
PS: I was at a Hawkeye party last week at Aja's house and the Hawkeyes lost....the people at the party were screaming really loud, I was just having a good time playing with all of the kids.

Summer update!!

Hello everyone! I have been so busy!! I just got back from staying with Aunt Kate in Pella for 4 days. I had a wonderful time. We watched tractors, played in rock piles, had a bbq and I met some new friends, went to the beach 2 times, played at parks, saw a hot air balloon show, checked out the motorcycle rally, got to eat in the living room, and I got to sleep in Kate's bed. I hope I get to go back and stay again next Summer. I have been spending my time this Summer going to CCA softball games, going to parades, going fishing and boating with Daddy, meeting my friends for play dates, watching fireworks, going to the zoo, playing at the park, riding my 4-wheeler, going to the library, going to monster truck shows/demolition derbies, visiting my friends at Aja's a couple times a week and many more things that I am sure I have left out. I have been so busy that I have not had much time to give updates and I have had even less time to get caught up on my sleep. Tomorrow I am going to the splash pads with my friend Declan, I have 2 weeks of swimming lessons coming up soon, and I hear we might be taking a trip to Ft. Dodge to see the CCA Clippers hopefully win the state title. My sister has a hard time being happy when she is not at home, so Mommy is still trying to decide if we are going or not. I hope we do, I will have so much fun! I do not enjoy being at home and am much happier when I am on the go. Unfortunately for Mommy she has 1 that likes to be at home and 1 that does not. We will see what she decides. Either way I will be cheering my girls on to the state title. My big brother and sister will be coming home soon. I sure have missed them. I am sure they are ready to see me too. I mean who wouldn't want to see me? I must keep moving, things to do and people to see. I hope everyone is staying cool in this heat!

Summer #1

Well it is the start of week 2 of staying home with mommy and well, we will just say, some people like Summer more than others. I have been keeping her busy bossing her around and calling the shots most of the time. I have been spending a lot of time riding my 4 wheeler around town, visiting the moo-moo's and chickens, bouncing on the trampoline across the street, going to softball games, playing at the park, beating up my sister, and watching my new favorite movie Spirit...or as I call it, neigh-neigh moobie. I still go to Aja's house 2 days a week and I think that is a good thing. I like to play with my friends, and mommy needs to keep her sanity. I have been talking a lot more lately, so mommy is not as worried about my speaking as much as she was before. I even sing songs to my sister once in awhile. I have not been very nice to my sister lately and mommy and daddy get really mad at me. The other day I think I spent the most of my day in time out....I bit her finger, kicked her in the head, slapped her face and the last straw was when I threw a hard toy at her and give her a bump on her head. Unfortunately for me, daddy was home and he laid the smack down on me. He made me go to bed without mommy rocking me. I cried and cried and cried. Finally daddy felt really sorry for me because it was storming outside and I am really scared of boom-booms. He came upstairs and rocked me to sleep. I know I did not like that consequence, but I am not sure that I have totally learned my lesson. I did learn however that when I want to hurt my sister, not to do it when daddy is home. Daddy bought me a fish yesterday and I think it is so cool. Mommy said it will be a good learning experience for me. I keep sticking my fingers in it and trying to add new water. I also want it to go to every room that I go to. I am really, really trying to convince mommy to let it live outside...more specifically, in the swimming pool. She keeps saying no. I just don't understand why. I guess for now he will just stay inside. Chuck and Lindsey leave in 1 week to go stay with their mom for 6 weeks. I am sure going to miss them. Chuck is my idol and I love every minute I spend with him. What am I going to do without him? More like, what is mommy going to do without them? They both help mommy when she asks them too. Chuck takes me to ride my 4 wheeler a lot and sometimes even lets me hang out with him and his friends. I don't really have much else going on right now. Uncle Chris is coming home this weekend, so that will be fun and I think mommy has some play dates scheduled for the upcoming couple of weeks. I am sure I will stay busy...you can count on that!
Enjoy the warm weather!

Softball season has begun!

Hello everyone! I just thought I would let you all know that softball season has officially started and I can't wait for the first home game tomorrow night. I have my Clipper gear ready to wear and I have my bag of tractors packed. I am ready! I have been spending some time at the field already digging in the dirt, flirting with the girls and playing in the sprinklers that water the field. I have only a couple of girlfriends on the team so far, but ask me after the season is over and I bet it will be more. I know how to work the ladies! I have been OBSESSED with the 7 calves across the street and make my mom take me over there at least 1 time a day. They are ALL I talk about. I am pretty sure if my mom had to go a day without hearing, "I wanna see moo moo's mommy", she would not know what to do! I have been enjoying every minute of playing outside lately. I have a really hard time coming in though because I DON'T WANT TO! I could play outside every minute of the day if they would let me. I am talking more and have a lot more words that people can understand. I am still the boss of my mom and she is not liking it so much anymore. I am a little worried about what this Summer is going to bring me. I think she is going to work really hard to regain control of me...good luck....and I have heard some talk about potty training....good luck on that one too. Does she know me? I will do what I want, when I want and if she tries to change my mind, I will make a fuss. I did hear that I will get to go to Aja's 2 days a week, so that is exciting. I think mom will keep me pretty busy all Summer though because life is better for everyone if I am kept busy! I am not a fan of playing with toys, as a matter of fact, I don't even know the last time I played with the toys in my toy room. I have been getting really frustrated with my trucks lately because I try and hook them all up to trailers and try to have them haul stuff and sometimes they come undone, or sometimes I can get them hooked up, and sometime the stuff falls off of the trailer. Instead of using my words, I just scream and then mom tells me to use my words and then finally she comes to help me. I am thinking that if she would just always be ready to help me if she senses that I might become frustrated, that would be fantastic. Grandma and Pa got me a sandbox and I love it. Pretty sure I am going to be hanging out there the entire time I am at their house visiting from now on. I love to dig with tractors! Pa does get frustrated when I throw the sand out though. He tells me to keep it in the sandbox, but I am not so good at listening when it is not something I want to do. I have also been into singing lately. I like to sing to the baby and I like it when mommy makes up silly songs. One of my favorite made up songs, which I was the creator of, is: The itsy bitsy moo-moo, or The itsy bitsy neigh-neigh. I also love 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed. I have a new favorite movie, Babe. I am not as obsessed as I was with the Wizard of Oz, but I sure do like it. There are times though during the movie that I have to get my gun out and shoot some animals, but never the baby animals. I am sure there are lots more things I could tell you, but I know you have other things to do with your day, so I will stop here.
Have a wonderful week!

Happy May

Hello everyone! It is May already, and with that brings more time outside, ball games and baby animals! The weather sure has not been on our side so far this Spring, but my mom has finally thrown in the towel and my little sister is getting more used to it, so I think our days inside are just about over! YAY!!!! I discovered that the nice people across the street where I used to go see the sheep now have a calf and it is my new BFF! Mommy asked me what I wanted to name it and I said, "bye-bye", so that is his name. I don't think I understood her question, but oh well. Does it really matter what its name is? Not really, as long as I get to go see it at least 1 time every day. I wake up talking about it and I fall asleep talking about it. I love moo-moos...and neigh-neighs...and tractors. I really wish I lived on a farm is all I have to say! I got to watch a lot of tractors working on the softball field this weekend getting it all ready for softball season. Did I mention that I love tractors? Well, I do! I had a fun Easter. The Easter Bunny left me a lot of eggs outside and in the house. I got so excited when I found them. After about the first 20, I was done and ready to play, so the other 20 or so were either found throughout the day, or Mommy went and found them for me. I love all of the candy the Easter Bunny left me too. I love candy...but not as much as I love tractors...and moos-moos....and neigh-neighs. Uncle Chris came on the bus to see me on Easter weekend too. I got to pick him up from the bus and take him back to the bus when it was time to go home. Pa told me that some time he and I are going to go on the bus to see Chris. I can't wait. Mommy said it will be a really long time before I am ready to be on a bus for that long. Whatever mom, you don't know! I have been big into taking my tractors outside and digging in the dirt with them. I am entertained for a long time doing that...until I remember there is a moo-moo across the street and then I go bother my mom to take me over there. I am doing a much better job when Mommy drops me off at Aja's in the morning. We have been practicing saying, "Bye Momma" a lot so that when I get there, I say that instead of crying and clinging to Mommy's leg. I am really good at having temper tantrums too! I hate coming inside and when I have to I freak out and scream and hit my mom. She really loves it when I do that, especially when my sister is sleeping. She is getting better every day at walking away from me and letting me do my thing and NOT feeling bad about it. She is such a sucker! I have become a really good cleaner and if anyone needs someone to come over and spray their cleaners for them, wipe their shelves, straighten their shoes, sweep their floor, or vacuum...I am that man. My mommy is forever cleaning and I have learned everything I know from her. I am even really good at spraying Febreeze on EVERYTHING! Well, gosh have you smelled my teenage siblings and their friends. Say EWWWW!!! Alright, it has taken me all day to complete this because I have been so busy.
Have a wonderful week!

Spring weather

I would love to fill you all in on what has been happening in my life, but I can't come inside long enough to do anything. When I am inside I am throwing a fit and mom won't let me have the computer when I am doing that. So, check back when the weather is not so nice. Maybe a rainy day? Who knows.....gotta go!

I hate being sick!

I am sitting at home bored to day because I could not go play with Kyler at Aja's. I was sick all weekend and it was not any fun at all. Saturday morning I woke up and was talking with mommy about all of the cool animals I was going to get to see at Barnyard Day at Hills Bank and before I knew it, I was throwing up all over the living room floor. I spent the next few hours whining, throwing up and sitting or laying on the floor. After I took a long nap however, I felt much better. I was running around like nothing was wrong. Mommy even took me out to eat Saturday night and I ate a ton. Sunday morning really early, I woke up and was burning up. Mommy thought I was on fire. My head and my tummy hurt really bad and I just wanted to drink some juice and lay with mommy. I got some medicine and slept on and off, but the whole time remaining in mommy and daddy's bed, until 12:30. Now if any of you know me, first of all you know that I NEVER prefer mommy and daddy's bed. To tell you the truth, until this weekend, I had never..ever....slept in their bed. When I woke up, I still felt horrible and sat on mommy's lap forever. Then mommy passed me on to daddy and as soon as I got on his lap, I threw up everywhere. I then took another nap and woke up about 5. I have never slept that long in my life. I really, do not know what was wrong with me, but it was no fun at all and I had to miss out on some pretty cool stuff because of it. I sure hope I get to go back to Aja's tomorrow. I really miss playing with the kids.
Until next time......
Take care!

Spring Break

I survived Spring Break...or should I say my mom survived Spring Break. She let me stay home with her and baby all week and I tried her patience to say the least. We didn't even spend that much time alone, but the times we did, I gave her a run for her money. I got to spend some quality time with Grandma and Stephanie and Kate over break and I had a blast. I got to play outside a lot, I got to go shopping and I went out to eat for Kate's birthday. The best part of Spring Break came on Saturday when my brother Chuckie moved back in with me. I love him so much. I have not left him alone since he walked in the door. I even wake up in the middle of the night and tell mommy that I want Chuckie. Poor Chuckie can't get away from me. He has been a good sport and done everything I have wanted him to since he got here. I think he is hoping that the newness will wear off and I won't act like this forever. Good luck brother! I had quite the adventure yesterday when I opened the basement door all by myself and let the dog and myself out to go to the park. Mom was switching the laundry and Dad was in the living room, so I took it upon myself to wander to the basement and out the door. It took me less than 5 minutes to complete the task. Mom and dad keep saying that it is a good thing we live in Oxford. I am a crazy kid they say. I have also really been trying to help more with my baby lately and have been caught trying to pick her up several times. I don't see what the big deal is, everyone else carries her around, why can't I? I can't really think of much else to tell you, for some reason I can't remember anything. It must be the lack of sleep the last few nights catching up with me. For some reason I am falling into this habit of getting up about 3 and not going back to sleep until 5. Let me tell you how much my mommy loves that! HA!

I'm officially 2

I am officially 2 years old and I act the part well. I had my 2 year check up at the doctor and I am weighing in at 30 pounds and I am 36 inches tall. I jumped from always being in the 20-25th percentile in weight all the way up to the 75th percentile. Guess those hot dogs are really catching up with me. I blame it on the Winter months and not being able to get outside and run around. I am probably like my dad...heavy in the Winter, skinny in the Summer. Speaking of Summer, is it almost here? I am getting sick and tired of being inside all of the time. I love to be outside, there is no place I would rather be and my mom keeps telling me no. I try to run away from her when we get out of the car, but she always catches me and always tells me that it is too cold. We have been out for a few walks on some nice days, but then my crybaby sister gets cold and starts crying and then mom says we have to go home because the baby is cold. You know what mom, I really don't care if she is cold, I have mud to walk in, snow to stomp in and things to pick up! I can't wait for it to be warmer so everyone is happy. I do care a lot about my sister, don't get me wrong, i just really get upset when things come between me and being outside. For my birthday mom and dad got me a really, really big red 4-wheeler! I am not liking it so much. I like to look at it and I like to talk about it, but I would rather not ride it thank you very much! It is just not something I am too interested in. It kind of scares me to tell you the truth! It goes and I don't really know why and when I stand up to try and get off, it just keeps going. Dad is very frustrated that I am scared of it and mom says they may have been a little premature in buying my this. Maybe my 3rd birthday would have been more appropriate. They just could not wait I guess! I had a really fun time at my birthday party too. Thank you everyone who came. Eating cake and cheese puffs and running around with other kids was just what I asked for! I got lots of cool presents of which mom is having a hard time finding room for. I keep getting more and more presents too. It seems like every time mom or dad walk in the door they have another present for me from someone who did not make it to the party. Thank you everyone! I am working on getting all of my thank you notes out! I don't really have a whole lot more to say, and my sister thinks she needs to get on the computer now, so until next time.....
Take Care!

I'm 2 this week

Hello everyone! There is something really important happening this week....my birthday! I will be the big 2! I am having my party on Sunday and it is going to be a tractor party! Grandma and Stephanie are working on my cake this weekend. I can't wait to see it. I am sure I will say "tractor". I am totally obsessed with monster trucks right now. Ever since I went to the monster truck show with mommy and daddy, that is all I can think about. I watch it on tv all the time and play with them on the living room floor. Mommy says that is great because she has not had to clean my play room for 3 weeks. I get all of my trucks and tractors and matchbox cars out and talk all about it. I like to make sure everyone is giving me my full attention so I say, "see" a lot. I just want to make sure everyone sees what I am doing and what I am watching. I am an entertainer that is for sure. I am always on stage and it is my favorite thing to do. I love to show off. I like to dance and be a stunt man. I enjoy diving off of the couch and jumping off anything that I can find. I have lots of bumps and bruises but that is ok, I am tough! I overheard mommy telling daddy that it is his job to get me outside this Spring and start working with me on my throwing, catching and kicking. Really? Do I have to start that already? I think Uncle Chris would say YES!!! He would probably say I should have started long before now. Oh well, I am sure if it involves throwing things and kicking things that I will have fun. I have been getting outside a little more since the weather has been above freezing. I like to play in the front yard and usually I stay right in front of the house. My mom however, found me in the middle of the street the other day. She yelled really loud and I don't know why. I was just playing in the puddles. I heard her say it is a good thing we live where we do as there are very few cars that go down our street. I have a doctors appointment on Friday. I guess I have to get shot or something. I don't know, I guess I will find out when I get there. All I know is that I don't have to go to Aja's and I get to stay home with Grandma that afternoon. Speaking of Aja, I have been a real stinker at drop offs in the mornings. I give my mom and Aja are really hard time. I say no, I scream, I cry, I throw things and I have been trying to hide in the car every morning. I just do it for show because I love going to Aja's and I play all day long. I don't even want to leave when mommy comes to pick me up half the time. I don't know why I do it, maybe I should stop. We will see about that!!!! Well, I think it is about time to eat some lunch and take a nap. I will let everyone know how the birthday party goes and what presents I get. I hear mommy and daddy have something pretty cool. I even heard daddy ask mommy if I could help him put it together. I think she yelled at him and said "No" or "duh" or something like that. She does that all the time to him. Take care! Hurry up Spring!

BRRRR.....

Wow, it is really cold outside! I still like to play in this snow thou. The only thing I hate about this cold weather is how cold my hands get. I come inside and cry because they are so cold. My mom didn't buy me very good gloves this winter....I don't think she thought I would be spending so much time with my hands in the snow in these frigid temperatures. I love playing with and eating the snow. I have a water table that mom put on the porch and every afternoon when I come home from Aja's I spend about 45 minutes out there playing with the snow. I love to shovel too. I help Daddy and Pa shovel. I might have a job when I get older....I am really good at it...just ask Pa. Pa said I am supposed to take it off the driveway, but I prefer to take from the pile on the side and place it ON the driveway. I got to hang out with my Aunts and Uncle last weekend and had a blast. I always have a great time when Uncle Chris comes to town. I wish he lived here. I got to pick him up from the bus station and take him back when it was time for him to leave. Now every time I see a bus or a picture of a bus I talk about Chris and how he went bye-bye. I hope he comes home again soon. My birthday is coming up soon and I can't wait for my party. Mommy said it is going to be a Tractor party. I can't wait to be the center of attention and eat cake and open presents. I love parties. I have been working very hard on my talking the last few weeks. Mommy said I need to start saying words so that people other than her can understand what I am saying. I have been doing a very good job of pointing to things and saying to mom, "what's that". Hopefully after mom tells me 100 times what everything is, I will be able to say them too. Aunt Stephanie bought me some color tabs for my bath water and I am very addicted to them. We will never be able to have plain bath water again. I think every color is blue, but mommy tells me there are other colors. I am supposed to only put 1 tab in, but sometimes I am really quick and get 2 or 3 in before she can stop me. I am becoming very independent lately. My favorite thing to say is, "B do". Mommy said she really hates it. When mommy does not let B do, I get really mad and have a temper tantrum. Speaking of temper tantrums, I have been getting really good at those too. I have a special time out chair in the dining room and mommy is no longer afraid to send me to it. The other night I was so mad that she made me go up to my room until I was calm. I just get so mad at her sometimes and she just does not understand that if she would just let me do what I want to do that we would not have these problems. Someday she will learn! I really like my new sister, she is a cutie. I can't wait until she is old enough to play with. she is pretty boring right now and every time I get close to her everyone tells me to be careful and be nice and be gentle. Come on people, do you know me? There is nothing gentle and careful about me. I have had to go to timeout a few times because I was not careful and gentle and nice to her. I didn't mean to, I am just crazy and sometimes I get a little carried away. I am really excited because I am going to the Monster Truck Nationals on Saturday night with mommy and daddy. Mommy and I have been watching monster trucks on tv every morning for a really long time and I love them. Mommy has been reading me a monster truck book at night and I have been practicing covering my ears because she said they are loud. I will be the judge of that. I am kind of crazy in that I like loud noises and dark rooms, unlike most kids my age. I however might just be a little different than most kids. I have not been so obsessed with Wizard of Oz lately. We left the movie at grandma and Pa's house on accident and every time we go there we forget to take it home. Do you think mommy really "forgets"? Well, my baby needs to tell everyone about her happenings so I better let her. Take care and stay warm everyone!

January 24,2011

Hello Everyone! I have been very busy these last 2 weeks taking care of my new baby sister. Sorry I have not given more updates, she is keeping me very busy. She really likes to sleep and I have to check on her every 5 minutes while she is doing so. I have to rub her head, move her arms, check on her eyes and put her pacifier back in her mouth every time it falls out. I like to hold her and help her with her bottles too. I also am very good at throwing her diapers away. I am waiting for the perfect moment when nobody is looking to pick her up and carry her to where I want her. I will let you know when I accomplish that task. Mommy has been keeping a pretty close eye on me when she is around. Please mom, I have it all under control. I am adjusting pretty well to not being the only baby in town. I like to get into trouble when mom is feeding her, but for the most part I have been a pretty good boy. I went for a couple of weeks of horrible sleeping at night, but I am getting better. Last night I did wake up 2 times, but I stayed in my bed and all mommy had to do was come in and tell me to lay back down. Mommy does not rock me anymore, she just makes me lay back down and she sits in the rocking chair until I fall back asleep. I heard that the next step is that she is going to sit in the doorway in hopes that by the time she goes back to work in 4 short weeks that she will not have to go in at all in the middle of the night. Fat chance mom, I will never sleep through the night!! I know she gets very, very frustrated with me, but I just can't go that long without seeing her, I love her so much. I was home with mom for a week while Aja was on vacation and that was about the most stressful time of my life. My mom was tired and crabby, my dad was home because it was too cold to work and every time I did something wrong I had to go to time out. Thank goodness Aja is back and I am going there again during the day. All day and all night with my mommy is just too much for her right now. I am a social butterfly and don't do well being stuck in the house with nothing to do. I know I have more toys than most kids my age, but I am not too interested in toys, I am more interested in running around and being crazy. I still love the Wizard of Oz, but more so on youtube right now where I can watch short clips of my favorite parts. I get daddy's computer and tell mommy and daddy which clips I want to watch. I love bossing them around. Do you think I will get to do that my whole life? We will see! I doubt it now that there is a Princess in the house!! I love the show Wipeout and what I love more is doing the things the people on that show do. I fall off of things, crash and say, "wipe out". People that come over get a little scared by my actions, but just ask my mom and dad......I will be just fine. When I do get hurt, I kiss my own owie and move on. Life is great!!! I think that is all for now, I must get going.
Take care and stay warm!

I am a big brother

Exciting news in my world today.....I am a big brother!! Mommy finally had this baby everyone has been talking about. Her name is Madyn and she was born today, January 9th at 12:23pm. She was scheduled to be born on 1-11-11, but just like me, she does not listen to mommy very well and decided to come before then. Mommy had it all planned out and thought it would be so cool, however while watching my favorite movie, The Wizard of Oz with me this morning at 7:00, Madyn decided she wanted to come today. All I know is that mommy was telling daddy and Lindsey to do all this stuff like vacuum, take out the trash, sweep the floor, fold the laundry, pack your bags, and then we were off to Grandma's. I hung out with Pa all day and then went to McDonald's with grandma and Pa. Then they took me to this place and I got to see my mommy in a bed, which kind of made me stop in my tracks and I held this pink blanket with a baby in it and they say that is my sister. Ok, that's cool, she was cute, I kissed her. But.....she is not coming home with mommy and daddy is she? I am not sure I will like that a whole lot, but I guess we will see. Until then, I guess I will stay at Grandma and Pa's house and see what mommy has planned for me next. I just go with the flow you know. Well, I am pretty tuckered out from my busy weekend, but not to worry, I will keep you updated on the upcoming events of my life and I will let you know if that baby comes home with my mommy and daddy, or if they leave her there.
Take Care!
