Hello!
Well! I officially have nicknamed my mommy “slacker.” This is because she has neglected my journal and has probably lost many readers as a result. I bet many have come to my journal hoping to see several new entries to read only to find the same entry that has been there since Christmas. OK, I’m exaggerating a LITTLE bit there, but, I’m making a point.
I have to tell you about my orphan shorts! Mommy picked me up from daycare one evening to take me out to eat with Grandma Cheryl and one of her friends, Jackie. I had never met Jackie before, so, I wanted to look nice. Well, earlier that day at school, I spilled my sippy cup all over my nice shorts and had no change of clothes. My teachers found me some replacement shorts, but they didn’t exactly match my shirt. The shorts were at one time blue and white checkered pants but someone cut them into shorts and didn’t do a great job. That person also wrote “TODDS 1” on the back of them in permanent black marker. So, this is how I looked when my dear mommy took me into public for dinner and to meet Jackie! Mommy joked and said that since gasoline was so high, she couldn’t afford to buy me clothes and instead started sewing clothes for me. She told Jackie she was still learning how to sew but felt she did a great job on my “TODDS 1” shorts!
I’m pretty sure my daycare needs to send out a memo requesting clothing donations!
Here is a picture of me getting a big bear hug from my Uncle Jim when he was here for a short visit recently. He likes to hold me and is so gentle with me when he picks me up. I wish I could have seen my cousins Emily and Luke too; I miss them!
For the 4th of July, Daddy, Mommy, Sister and I went to Mimi and Papa’s and I got to swim again! Uncle Willie, Aunt Andi, and cousins Reagan and Riley were there too. That night, I got to watch fireworks. I was pretty tired by then and probably wouldn’t have been too upset missing that, but I watched anyway.
OH! I almost forgot to tell you that I was student of the month in June! All month long, this picture hung on the wall just outside my classroom for all to see! I guess my teachers really like me as well as my super-cute sunglasses picture!
I have been painting, coloring with crayons, making designs with stickers and other crafts at school. Mommy has a stack of my artwork about 6” thick and she needs to figure out what to do with them all. I’m not even 1 ½ and I have a zillion paintings already! Mommy says mine are the best in the class and that she’s not just saying that because she’s my mommy.
I’m getting much stronger on my feet and will likely be walking soon. Please send your condolences to my Mommy and Daddy who will no doubt be busy keeping up with me. Mommy would like to catch my walking on video but I don't cooperate. It's too fun, really.
Well, I guess that’s it for now. Check back for more videos and pictures.
