Lighting the tree

Decorating the tree

I have a CHRISTMAS TREE! and it's the most beautiful tree you've ever seen. Mommy and daddy put it together last night and I got to help decorate. Mommy's been reading Christmas books to me so that I get what's going on and what mommy doesn't understand is that I get what's going on! In the mornings I normally run into mommy and daddy's room and sleep with them for ten minutes before I get them to LAKE UP by saying LAKE UP MOMMY over and over, and if that doesn't work, I say COFFEE TIME. Did you know I like to drink MILK COFFEE thanks to Noni and her special MILK COFFEE in a coffee cup, the kind you take in the car. So that's what I normally do, but now that I've got a CHRISTMAS TREE! I don't want to go into mommy and daddy's room because I want to go down stairs and see the tree! First thing in the morning. In fact, I stood at the top of the stairs screaming for mommy and daddy to LAKE UP GO DOWNSTAIRS CHRISTMAS TREE! Daddy thought I thought it was Christmas morning, but I knew better. Mommy has circled the 25th on the calendar so I can see it and when I look at the calendar I point to the circle and say THAT'S CHRISTMAS. In the meantime one of my favorite books is a book about Rudolph.

Leaves leaves and more leaves

TEXAS: Playing in the leaves at Noni & Papa's house

THANKSGIVING WITH LAYLA (in Texas!)

I had a very nice Thanksgiving this year at Layla's house because it was aPARTY DAY and I like PARTY DAYS. Layla's mommy HOLLY made a very nice dinner for everyone and while everyone ate and talked and caught up, Layla and I played and played and played and played and it was fun! Layla calls me MO-MO. Isn't she cute!

Happy Birthday, Grandma!

My Horn (Harmonica)

I've got a new horn. It's called a harmonica, and I can say MONICA, but I prefer to call it MY HORN, and I like to carry it in my pocket everywhere I go, just in case I need to pull it out and blow. I think you'd be surprised at just how good I am at playing MY HORN. I'm going to buy a horn for my cousin Layla and that way when we get together during the holidays we can form our own horn playing band. Shhhh, don't tell. It's a surprise

A few things I like to do...

I love to go to the library where I have to talk in my quiet voice. My quiet voice is not that quiet, especially when I fart at the library and announce it out loud. EXCUSE ME, I FARTED!

SHHHHHH, mommy says.

Which makes me say in a very loud whisper, I FARTED MOMMY, over and over, because I did, I FARTED, so EXCUSE ME.

When I go to the library I run to the kid's section and pull out a book and then take it to a table and read it to myself. I usually can read a book in less than three seconds. I starts out ONCE UPON A TIME, I flip through the pages and point out a few things i know and then say THE END and do it again. So much fun. My favorite books are books about farm animals. I know all my farm animals, as well as the sounds they make. I also know what a COW BARN is and that CHICKENS live in a CHICKEN POOP. Oh, and that COWS HAVE UDDERS.

Look at my new scooter! I'm SCOOTER MAN! Yes, I actually call myself SCOOTER MAN. Why? Because I'm such a good scooter rider. I love my scooter and ride it all over the house. You would be shocked to see just how fast I go. And when I'm done, I turn to make sure you're watching me. If you're not I say SHOW ME MOMMY, because I want you to watch me. Working on that one.

Something else about me, my favorite night time song is the one that goes...

My Bonnie lies over the ocean

My Bonnie lies over the sea....

Rest assured, if I know you, your name gets inserted where Bonnie's name is. And if you're an animal, your species gets inserted too. Needless to say, the song goes on and on and on.

Today Mommy is going to take me to see my first real life movie in the movie theater. Madagascar. I'll tell you how it goes.

Halloween Night!
