Pudge-in-the-box



Although Mommy has bought me a ton of toys, I always find the extraneous cardboard box so much more interesting.

Mr. Fix-it




Look at how handy I've become with home improvement projects and fake tools. Someone get me a tool belt, stat!

Antic of the day

Yesterday, I conned Mommy into buying me a new bouncy ball at Harris Teeter. At home I showed it to Daddy and screamed, "Mickey Mouse!" when I saw him on one side of the ball. When I turned it over, I pointed and asked, "What's that?" Daddy told me, "That's Minnie Mouse." I shook my head and proclaimed, "That's Mommy Mickey Mouse!"

My new bushbaby friend



Here are some pictures Mommy took of me yesterday with my new friend, Boromir (whom I call a squirrel). Better watch out, Mommy--I might just have a new best friend now!

Daily roundup

Today's likes: Reaching into our neighbor's cat door and petting a very bewildered kitty cat (whilst giggling maniacally); using a Swiffer duster on Mommy's head while she was trying to nap

Today's dislikes: Daddy ("I don't like Daddy! I like Mommy!" I said when Daddy tried to put me to bed)

Word of the day: "boring" (I told Mommy I wanted to drive her car, but when I opened the door, I sighed, "This is boring--I need a new one!" and headed to Daddy's car)

Daily roundup

Today's likes: Boromir the bushbaby (Mommy and Daddy's stuffed animal, which I stole from their dresser and took to Lowe's with me)

Today's dislikes: When Mommy chided me for crushing a clematis petal in my destructive little fist at Lowe's

Word of the day: "Booger." Today at Gold's daycare, I waved one around and screamed, "Mommy, I have booger! Here you go!" (which led some of the grownups to speculate about what kind of Mother's day present I might have in store for Mommy).

Antic of the day: When Mommy was trying to show the electrician something in her room, I vanished from sight. Mommy looked all over the downstairs for me and started to panic. Finally, the electrician said he thought he heard a noise upstairs. When Mommy looked upstairs, I was sitting on the futon, giggling uproariously. It's fun to play hide and seek, especially when the other person doesn't know she's playing!

Daily roundup

Today's likes: Mommy (I declared her to be my "best friend forever" and gave her a big hug today); using diaper wipes to "clean" my crayons and create interesting color effects

Today's dislikes: Kermit the Frog (whenever I see him, I say, "I scared Ke-mit!")

Antic of the day: This morning around 6:45, Mommy was blissfully asleep when I started making funny grunting noises. Although she tried to ignore me, I finally declared, "I wet PJs, Mommy!" When she finally dragged her lazy butt over to investigate, I was lying in my crib with a big smile on my face, clad only in my diaper, having already shed my soaked green feetsie PJs after a struggle with the zipper.
