35 Months...Christmas was a blast!

I have been saying and doing some really cute things lately! I know how to hop on one foot! Some of the things I have said are, "I need to run. I need more energy in my bottom", "Mommy is a great counselor", "My brain's full of questions", and "pa-scare-a bus" (asparagus). I like to ask everyone and everything if they are my best friend over and over. I explained Santa like this: "When we're on the happy list, we get presents. When we're on the naughty list, we don't. We get a big black rock!" I wanted to leave out 2 cookies and milk for Santa, and 5 warm carrots for the reindeer because it's cold outside. I also made up my "baby Ro-ro", a 2 month old baby with orange eyes. "I think his daddy is Trey or something like that!" I had my first bad dream on New Year's Eve right before midnight. (I just wanted to be awake when the ball dropped!) It was about a black fuzzy man who was rolling around in the garage-very scary! We had Christmas at lots of places (at my preschool, Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom's, Great-Grandpa Willie and Great-Grandma Rose's, Papa Ron and Nana Carol's, and Nana Arden and Papa Rodney's) and had several visitors (Stacey, Ryan, and Jaxson, Papa Ron and Nana Carol, Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom, Kristy and Anthony, Great Aunt Michelle, Great Uncle Roger, and Daniel) and went to visit Heather, Sean and Ashley over the holiday break. I even got a snow day with mommy, and we built a snowman, made snow angels, and went sledding. I was disappointed that Frosty wouldn't run around with me. I also had a few accidents at pre-school, but they discovered that the first one was because I couldn't get my coat off in time, and after that, it was because I wanted to wear the cool rainboots like after my first accident! After Miss Kristina told me I would have to wear "ugly boy shoes", I stopped.

34 Months...Christmas is on the way!

We really had a nice Thanksgiving with family. Mommy and daddy joined me for our preschool Thanksgiving feast and it was a lot of fun. On Thanksgiving, we went to Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom's and I got to play with my cousins. That Friday, we went to Nana Carol and Papa Ron's. We went to a parade and I really loved this one! I danced to all the Christmas music and when it got loud, "I held my ears and didn't even cry!" I got my hair cut for the second time on Saturday and then went to Nana Arden and Papa Rodney and got to play with my other cousins. We finally did more family pictures on Sunday. I have said lots of funny things too. I said that I liked the "punadoes" (tomatoes) in my taco soup. Mommy is wondering if I really am related to her! One night, I was trying to get out of bedtime and mommy and daddy left the room and closed the door. I got mad and said, "I'm gonna pee in my diaper and no one's gonna be happy about that!" Later, I said, "I need someone to play with!" Then, "I'm pretty sure someone's gonna come." No one did though so I went back to bed. I have also been talking about grandnana a lot, and said that she taught me how to throw a snowball. Mommy and daddy weren't sure where that came from since she died earlier this year. I got to go to Aunt Lisa's house one night while mommy and daddy went on a date and had fun again with my cousins. I also had yet another fever this past week and stayed home with daddy one day. I am really getting excited about Christmas. I got my picture taken with Santa, and I want to watch "Crosty" the snowman every night. I enjoyed when St. Nicholas came and wanted him to see my pj's. I can't wait to see what this Christmas thing is all about because I don't remember last year very well!
