Happy Birthday to Me!

My birthday was on Thursday. Mommy and Daddy keep telling me I'm 2 now- but I just say 3!!! It's my favorite number.
Here I am playing with one of my presents. I love balloons!
While Mommy was out picking up my cake, I played. Here's a sample of my play time. Daddy thought I was being awfully quiet, and when he checked on me, this is what he found! I got the cabinets, the fridge door and both sides, the door to the garage, and the wall. Mommy said the crayons are washable, and she laughed and laughed at me. Then she made my artwork go away.

I also helped Daddy cook. While I was helping, he gave me a lemon to play with. It squirted me in the eye!!!

Grammy and Pap sent me a very funny card that sings to me. I loved it!

Here's my cake. It had the Backyardigans on it!!!! And Mommy got candles shaped like balloons, too! I tried to grab them, but she wouldn't let me.

Yummy- my cake was delicious! I like the icing best.

Next, I got to open MORE presents! I could get used to this...

Cool, a bulldozer to go with my dump trucks!

Here I go again!

Playing with my bulldozer.

The next day, my hand kept disappearing. Where is it, Mommy?

Oh, THERE it is!

Today it was nice and sunny, so I took my toys outside and played in the sand. Sand does not taste as good as icing.

But it's fun to put it into the back of my dump truck!

And I dump it right back out again- ready for another load!

Yuck, more sand in my mouth!

Santa came to my house!!!!

The past few days have been SOOOOO much fun!! Here are some pictures to show you what happened.
This wasn't Christmasssy or anything, Mommy and Daddy just like to see me eating my lemons. I picked it myself!
Here I am with my Night Before Christmas book. I turn the pages, and somehow, Grammy reads it to me!! This book is magic, I know, because Grammy lives far away!

I'm listening very carefully.

Carrying my book around from room to room. Grammy read to me no matter where I was!

Here I am with Daddy, getting ready to put out cookies for Santa.

I couldn't forget a carrot for his reindeer!

After that, Grammy and Pap called me. They said I could open some presents from them!!!!

I am SO good at tearing paper!

Um, Mommy, you're breaking my rhythm!

Daddy is showing me how to open my phone.

More unwrapping! Yippee!

Here I am playing with my race track!

Here's me opening it. Guess I got out of order.

Cool- I couldn't wait to play!

Vroom!

There go the cars!

I left Santa cookies and eggnog, and a carrot for the reindeer.

And he left me all of this!!!!!!!!!

I've been very, very busy playing with all my new toys.

Everything has to go into my truck.

And here are my race cars again!

I have 2 new phones! I love their beepy noises.

Christmas morning pictures are on Daddy's camera, and so Mommy will put them up later. But it was GREAT!!!!

Why is a tree in the house?

This was a very... interesting weekend. Lots of cool stuff happened- but was it ever strange! Mommy and Daddy took lots of pictures of me. I like that camera! First, Daddy brought this thing into the house. I didn't know what it was, but it had knobs I could turn!

I enjoyed those knobs. They were just my size.

Then we went and got this tree and brought it home! I had a fit when it went into Daddy's truck and I had to get into the car without it, but I was happy to see it again in my house.

I enjoyed investigating it.

The next step was to help Daddy put lights all over my tree.

I took breaks to play with the dancing snowman and snow doggie.

They're SO much fun!

Back to work. This was a big job, and Daddy couldn't do it without me!

Yep, they work, Daddy!

That night, Mommy and I put a bowl on my high chair. She said that it I've been a good boy, St. Nick would come and put stuff in it!

And he DID!!!

What a GREAT weekend! Can we do it again next week?
