Vacation at Nana's

Daddy and I are going on vacation to Boston this weekend, and you are going to nana's. I kept telling you that you were going to nana's and you got so excited. The whole way up there you kept saying nana every once in a while. It was like you were trying to remind your self that the trip in the car was worth it becuase you would get to see nana.

Picking Peas

Yesterday was Memorial Day, so we went down to Granny's and Papa's to eat lunch with them. Some people they knew came over to pick peas and daddy took you down into the field. He said you helped them pick peas. He said you would take peas, but mostly leaves and throw them in their bucket.

Weekend with Daddy

My aunt died this week, so I had to go to the service in Atlanta on Saturday. You stayed home all weekend with daddy. I was a little apprehensive as to how well you both would do, but you did so well, I stayed two nights. I called you periodically through the weekend, and you both seemed okay. When I came home you only had one bruise on your forehead and you looked like you had been fed well. I would say daddy did a good job!

Vowels

I have been trying to get you to learn your vowels this week. I will say "A" and you will repeat it, and then I say "E", and you say "mama" in this exagerated way. You do the same thing after "O". But before bed tonight I would say "A", then you would say "E" and the same with "O" and "U". It's so cute! I am going to keep working with you to see if you can say them.

Reading books already

Last night we put you to bed a little late. It was about 8:45. At 9:30 we heard you a little so I turned on the video monitor and you were laying in your crib with a book in your hand. You were laying flat on your back holding the book up in the air flipping through the pages. Daddy went in there and traded the book for you elmo doll and he said you went right to sleep. You were obviously pretty tired after all that reading!

Last day of Mother's Morning Out

Today was your last day of Mother's Morning Out. I am so sad because you love it. But next year you will start 2-K which is officially preschool.

Mother's Day

Today was Mother's Day. You made me a framed poem at school with your handprints on it. I loved it! You stayed home with nana this morning while daddy and I went to church. Then we all piled in daddy's truck and went to granny's. You were so funny and loved the attention. You had your parents, a set of grandparents, and a set of great grandparents all looking at you and laughing at you. You cut up the whole time. After that, we drove to grandma's house and ate dinner with daddy's grandma and parents. You cut up there too. You kept talking gibberish and laughing at yourself. You love to get attention!

Pool Time

Yesterday I had told you we would go to the park this morning, but it was foggy and misty this morning, so we opted for Chickfila. You played for a while and we ran some errands, then came home. You were quickly bored at home so we decided to get in the pool. It was so cold, but you didn't seem to mind. You kept getting in and out which made the pool super dirty and made me super crazy, but you loved it. We stayed out there about 30 minutes and it started raining so we came in. Then when we came in you started saying bubbles which means you want a bath. I figured you were probably cold so I gave in and you got a bath as well. You loved the pool!

You love your mama

After dinner tonight you and daddy went to do some Mother's Day shopping. I decided to stay home and let you go by yourselves. Well, you started walking out the door and you grabbed my hand and said go. I told you I wasn't going that you were going with daddy and you started crying. You kept crying and daddy tried to put you in the car, but you kept reaching for me. I finally had to go inside so daddy could get you in the car. He said you said mama the whole way to the store. You usually love to go with daddy, but you wanted your mama tonight!

Elmo all the time

It's safe to say you love elmo. You have started calling him elmo instead of "melmo", and you can't get enough. We tivo sesame street at 5:00 in the morning and as soon as you get up you want to watch it. You and daddy usually sit down and watch it while I get ready. Then all day you want to watch it. You will only watch the elmo's world at the end of sesame street which is only about 20 minutes long. We watch it at least 5 times per day.

Wide Open

Lately, you have been Wide Open! You have been sleeping later in the mornings and taking longer naps, so I guess you are just really rested. But you have not slowed down. You are constantly moving and getting into something. When I picked you up from MMO today, your teacher said you were wide open all day and you had been really silly. I grabbed your hand to walk out and you didn't want to go. Finally, you gave in and started walking. But as soon as we got to the parking lot, you put on brakes and I had to pick you up. I'm so glad you enjoy it, and I hate that you only have two more days left. I hop you enjoy it this much next year!
