Funny Stuff...

Well, it's no secret...I like to sing....usually songs from movies and especially princess songs. So, yesterday I was singing a Pocahontas song and Mom was confused about the words. She thought the song said, "Just around the river bend." Really it says, "Just around the rubber band."

Also, I love germ lotion (the kind you use instead of washing your hands). I like to put it on people too. One time when Mom was feeding Ryan, I put it all over her legs. Well, yesterday I put a big glob of it in my hair and rubbed it around. That is not a good idea because it makes your dad freak out. It does make your hair stay in one place though.

Lula

This is my bear, Lula. I made her today at Build A Bear. Grams took me and it was fun! I named her myself and put a heart in her. I have asked mom to address Lula directly, as she is now part of the family. After nap today I taught her and mom how to "fake" burp.

Responsibility

Since I am getting bigger, Mom taught me how to feed the cat. You open the box, scoop the food and then put it in the bowl. This week I added my own twist....instead of putting it just in the bowl, I put it all over the floor...scoops and scoops in the kitchen.

Also, when you spray perfume in your mouth...it hurts your tongue. So, don't do it.

First Big Movie

These are just fun pictures mom likes.

Today Mom and I went to my first 'big' movie called "Shrek the Third." We got a sprite and M&Ms and it was really fun! And this morning, there was a Spanish story time at the Library. The nice lady read stories about frogs and we all got to jump (a specialty of mine) and learn the word for jump. She liked to hear me say my colors in Spanish, especially orange because that a long word. Ryan slept right though it, but he always sleeps through story time.

My New Nickname

Mom has been calling me Stinkerbell because I have been a little contrary the last few days. Maybe it's the red hair, the weather or the fact that I have to share Mom and Dad with a little baby that needs lots of attention. Anyway, yesterday morning I wasn't obeying and mom looked me in the eyes and said I could obey or go to time out. I told her I wanted a spankin'! It wasn't pretty after that...I got a swat on the bootie and timeout for the second time that morning. After that, I told mom, "You gotta be nice to children!" Mom told Dad on the phone that she wanted to run away from home.

Busy, Busy

This week we went to the farm. Uncle Rod and Aunt Toni were visiting. They knew my mom when she was little. Aunt Toni made us great breakfast tacos and speaks Spanish better than Dora. She taught me some new words and is super fun. Then, I went to the rodeo parade with Grams and Pa and saw horses and girls. I wore my pink cowgirl boots (I wear them a lot, so thanks Reina!). Then we saw friends and we had fireworks. They were the big ones in the sky, not the fizzy ones in your sprite. Oh, and my Dad put up a trampoline that Mom bought for a great deal from nice people that are moving to New Zealand. I'm not sure where that is, but I like that family and they get to ride on an airplane. To top it all off, I stayed all night with Grams and Pa. They took me to get pancakes with strawberries and I have been talking about those pancakes since.

Here is my friend, Sam. Our moms say we are alike...kindred spirits. Our parents went to college together. He is just a few months older than me and is really smart. He can read already. I knew I liked him the first time we played together because he wrote his name on my Dora stove and likes to wrestle. He is creative and silly, like me. Btw..thanks for the pirate potato head thing, Sam. Argg...I really like it.

His blog is funny! It is http://samiyam.blogspot.com.

Where is Gracie? She is Reina and Papa's big dog. She is peeking her head out of the garden...can you find her?

Aunt Toni and I.

Baby Powder is FUN!

Today, while Mom was feeding my little brother, I sang "shake, shake, shake" and sprinkled a whole big bottle of baby powder out in Mom and Dad's room. It's better than pixie dust and once it gets on a wood floor you can spread it around and make designs. Mom was so surprised! She was extra proud of me for getting the broom and cleaning it up myself.
