Wedding Anniversary Weekend!

Mommy and Daddy got married this weekend a mere four years ago!  So great that they have been together for so long.

What I am a little confused about is was where was I?  I tried to get them to explain but none of the answers they came up with satisfied me.  It is kind of hard to imagine that I was home with a babysitter if Papo and Deeda were there with them.  How strange.

Life Is Good

Oh my.  I didn't know life could be so good.  I was a little un-centered but all of a sudden Mommy put me on my back!

This is such a new perspective.  Unlike Daddy harshly pouring water on my head there is nothing like water gently flowing through your hair caressing you.

This is what it is like to be pampered.  Me like this Mommy.

Mr. Pig or Mr. Bacon?

I have decided all my stuffed animals need names.  Mr. Pig seemed like a reasonable name.

Daddy didn't agree.  He thought a more suitable name was Mr. Bacon.  I didn't agree, Mr. Pig seemed right .  .  . but all of a sudden I CHANGED MY MIND!  God I am never going to get tired of that power.

Mr. Bacon it will be!

I'll just hide him whenever Daddy gets the frying pan out!

School is Cool!

I was bursting at the seams today.  Why?  Very simple, it was my first day of SCHOOL!

And oh yes, this picture was the only picture Mommy got to take where I wasn't in motion, but even here I could barely contain myself! And as promised my friend Max was there.

I had a lot of fun.  My report card for the day said I was "Sparkling and Chatty", not bad for a first day.

By the end of the day I was talking about "Sharing" and was counting past Ten.  Oh, and I was glowing!

Piloting a Steam Scow in Laurelhurst

The construction at the new park was done and I was all over it.

Best of all they had installed a new boat-  a replica of the Steam Scow Squak!

I already have quite a bit of experience piloting boats so it was natural that I take the helm.

Daddy was pestering me to share with the other kids but I was not going to bow to the pressure.  We can have a discussion about who the captain is when I safely steer the scow into safe harbor, but if you mess with the chain of command while you are out at sea you put lives at risk Daddy!

Remember Daddy, you are second mate, not the Captain!

Drive Through Banking

This whole money thing kind of confuses me, but I do know that Daddy puts money in his checking account each month to pay our car loan.  Seems like a good deal to me.  Daddy gives them pieces of paper and we get a Jeep.  Sweet!

This seems like such a good deal that I dropped by Daddy's Credit Union with a new set of wheels I had been test driving and discussed getting a loan also.  What can you say, I am a sucker for a new model with two steering wheels!

Almost Potty Trained

There are two parts to being "Potty Trained".  1.  Dropping your pants and sitting on the toilet.  2. Wiping yourself.

Well I have Number 1 covered.  Unfortunately that toilet paper roll, it still takes a little figuring out.

A little help please Mommy.
