Keeping grandparents and others updated on MAS's latest activites and achievements.
Three, I'm 3! My party on Saturday was very fun. All the grandparents and some friends came over. I got a bus game, a Thomas DVD and book, a toy ATV, and a LeapPad and some other stuff that I don't remember. Now I'm back at school and I'll be having cupcakes tomorrow (today is another friend's birthday).
I just can't seem to shake the tantrums. It's hard when Mom leaves for work in the morning. I like my school, but sometimes I just have a hard time settling in.
My cousins are here from Burbank. I like playing with them, but I still have to come to school today and tomorrow. I will see them more this weekend. Mom's been really busy and hasn't been updating my blog. Basically I'm learning how to be a big boy and am doing a little better with the potty. We haven't tried real hard though. My birthday is coming up.
Jesus came from behind the rock and people were happy. Jesus likes to ride his tricycle and it was a beautiful thing.
Hey everyone. I'm back at it and have so much to report. I'm now 2 and a half, which is a big deal. This weekend I start serious potty training, which means I may get to wear my Thomas underwear and be done with pull-ups (at least during the day). Wish me luck, and we'll see how it goes.
Mom says I'll be taking a break from letting you know what's going on. My life is pretty good, especially if I get to climb on things. Mom says maybe I'll be posting again in October.
I took a little break. Being 2 is hard. I had a great birthday party and got to see Elmo. I also saw my cousin Ella last weekend. We had lots of fun running around the house. Today my eye is gooey. Mommy said I had a pink eye but today she is saying I don't. I still need to take medicine.
I'm starting to get this whole "funny" thing. For example, when I make a funny voice or something like that, I am sure to point out to Mommy and Daddy that "I'm funny." It's not very subtle, but at least I'm getting attention.
What is going on here? Today I'm totally happy, singing along, eating food, getting dressed. Yesterday I was not happy at all. Mom wouldn't get me kiwi until I stopped crying and asked her right (without crying). That was hard because I was mad that she wasn't getting me kiwi, and her making me wait was just getting me more mad. Finally I got her point and did what she wanted. I was still mad though. My birthday is coming up soon. I hope there's a huge cake. Thanks, Grandma Mary, for teaching me the word "huge". I think it will come in handy.
I saw fireworks earlier this week. I didn't know what they were before. I keep asking Mom about them. Can't we have them every day? I don't see why not. Especially if it means I get to stay up late.
Mom says I'm getting bigger, so I get a new look for my blog. Also, I'm not a baby anymore, so it's now MAS blog instead of Baby MAS Blog. Cool! I hope you like it. I'm still waiting for Mom to figure out how to upload pictures, because I have so many things to show you.
Yesterday was a special day for my daddy, and I gave him a card that I made and some t-shirts that Mom bought. Later that day we went out to breakfast with Grandpa Ed, who is my mommy's daddy. Daddy and Mommy have told me that Grandpa Bill is daddy's daddy and that he's in the sky. His picture is on the refrigerator. I didn't see Grandpa Roger yesterday, but he's probably someone's daddy then too. This is all very complicated for me.
My first poop in the potty happened this afternoon at daycare. Jeannie called Mommy to tell her. Everybody kept on giving me hugs. I knew I could do it. It took a while. I'm very excited. Just like Henry in my potty book!
There Mom goes again, not posting about my complicated and interesting life. Here's the update you've been waiting for. I'm starting to sing songs and have my favorites: the ABC song, Happy Birthday, Old MacDonald. Numbers are cool. I think I understand the counting concept, at least up to around eleven or twelve. I skip around and leave things out though. I'm working on it.
I have a new favorite song on my new Sesame Street CD: Captain Vegetable. He's really funny. Mom and Dad like the song too, so they play it for me a lot. That's fine with me. I'm trying to say "vegetable" but it's a really hard word.
Cmon, Mom, I have much more to say than one or two posts per month! Dad bought me a new Sesame Street CD last night. I like it! I don't have any favorite songs on it yet, maybe the bird song. I've been hearing talk about a dr's appointment for me. I hope it's not painful.
They say I'm moving into a new house that has a sandbox. It's very exciting. I get to make piles, dig, move it around. Fantastic! (I actually can't say "fantastic" yet, but I'm thinking about it). Folks are more and more impressed with my words: elephant, caterpillar, edamame, hummus. I'm feeling more comfortable stringing words together. Another birthday party at daycare the other day: Olivia turns 2. Happy Birthday, babe!
I've been reminding Mom to post something here for me. She's been busy I guess. Meanwhile, I'm learning lots of stuff: running, jumping, new words ("appetizer" seems to be a big hit), and I'm venturing into verb territory: go, standing, running, carry. This language stuff is pretty interesting and very powerful. I still pull out a good cry when I need to.
I'm fighting nose goo. I don't have a fever like the other kids. That's good. I haven't wanted to eat much though.
Now that I've been going to my daycare for a few weeks, it's time to get some snifflies from the kids. It's always the way. My appetite hasn't been great and I have a runny nose--nothing major, and not the flu like in Seattle. I'll be okay.
