Happy Thanksgiving

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. I had lots of fun, unfortunately mommy didn't get many pictures, so I will have to tell you about it.

On Thursday, we went over to my Aunt Julie & Uncle Aaron's house. I got to play with my cousins and see my papa Jim and Uncle Jay & Aunt Chris. I also got to see my second cousin Tanner. He sure is getting big. He must have liked me, because he kept wanting to be my friend. I tried to play with him, but everyone kept telling me to be nice & gentle. I don't know why, I play with the babies at my daycare all the time. After lunch, mommy, daddy and my aunts and uncles were in a Guitar Hero III contest, so I just watched them. Mommy was crabby because her and daddy were first up and she knew she couldn't beat him. My aunt Julie won the whole contest, she even beat my daddy. Way to go, Aunt Julie!

After that, we went to my daddy's aunts house to see his cousins. They have a lot of kids too. I had fun making new friends, but since I didn't take a nap that day, we couldn't stay long - they said I was getting crabby. But when we got home, there was a surprise, my Papa & Mama Nodland were at my house, with thier puppies. I was so excited.

On Friday, my daddy got up early to go shopping, but the rest of us stayed at home and enjoyed some sleep. Then later, daddy went to work, mommy & mama went shopping and I stayed home with papa. When mommy and mama came back home, they had lots of bags. Mommy said she found some good deals and is almost done with her Christmas shopping. Grandma had lots of bags too, but they mostly had pink & purple outfits in them. I know that mommy went to the doctor on Wed and they looked at the baby to see if it was getting too big. Mommy didn't tell me anything yet, but since I am a smart kid, I think the baby is going to be a girl. Otherwise my daddy will be kinda mad, if they try to put those dresses on a boy.

On Saturday, we stayed home most of the day and played. Mommy & mama did some more shopping, but us guys stayed at home to watch some football. I was showing papa that I have got some good drumming skills too.

Mama, papa & those crazy puppies left this morning, but they said they would be back as soon as mommy has that baby. I hope it is soon (& I think mommy hopes that too)

That's all I know for now. Have a good week!

Underwhere?

My mommy got some clothes for me from a friend this weekend. Most of the clothes were too big, but there was a bunch of little boy underwear in with the clothes. After my nap, she showed them to me. At first I said "No" and wanted to nothing to do with them; but after a while I found them again and said " Mommy. . . .hat" and decided that these would look good on my head. I wore my new hat all night long.

I think it looks good.

Big Boy - Step 2

So my mommy, daddy and my babysitter made such a big deal yesterday, about what I did, that I was pressured into writing about it. Yesterday, I went potty in the potty chair 2 times at day care. It was pretty exciting.

Mommy tried to get me to go potty at home, but I didn't have to go. She let me read some books when I was sitting there. I see why daddy likes to read in the bathroom, it is quiet and has good lighting.

PS - I did not let mommy take any pictures, so you will just have to use your imagination.

Big Boy Bed

Yesterday I went to go play with my friend Gracie. Her mommy said that I could come over so that mommy & daddy could get some work done around the house. I always thought I was a good helper . . . Anyway, when I got home, I went into my room and found a new bed. Apparently they are going to give my crib to the baby, but that is ok because my new bed had SpongeBob bedding.

Mommy was worried that I wouldn't like my new bed or that I would not want to go to bed in it. But last night, she let me watch cartoons in my room and when she came in to turn off the TV and tell me good night, I said "nite-nite mommy" and when to sleep right away.

Parents . . . they worry too much.

Oh, yeah - I also heard her talking to daddy about me going potty in the potty chair. I say, let's take this "big boy" thing - one day at a time

Guitar Hero (in training)

My mommy bought a new game this weekend. I think it is pretty cool. It is Guitar Hero III. Aunt Heather introduced daddy to this game this summer when she came to visit. They sure had fun. Mommy was not very good, though. She said that they booed her off of the stage. I found the guitars when I got up on Saturday morning, and they looked fun. I like to count the buttons and pretend to play. I sit in the chair next to daddy's when he plays and pretend that I am as good as he is. I don't know what mommy was complaining about, it doesn't look that hard. Oh well, I better get practicing, I overheard mommy talking to Aunt Heather and it sounds like her and Uncle Sam will be here for Thanksgiving, and I want to show them that I am better than mommy.



Rock on !
