mommy is a camel.

so. christmas is coming. this is a little exciting to me because, well, i don't exactly know what it is. i know i am going to get a very cool thing called "coal" because my parents have told me this several times. i don't know what coal is, but i am pretty psyched to find out. it's got to be a cool thing, right? my parents have put up a christmas tree. i thought it was cool when they first put it up because, well, there was a tree in the house. then one day, i woke up and ther were beautiful lights and ornaments on it. i asked if santa brought them and mommy said yes. me and my parents have a difference of opinion, however in how one treats a christmas tree. i think it is big fun to pull off ornaments and drag off garland while the parents feel pretty strongly that one should leave them alone. it's not that i want to be naughty (heh heh, no really, i DON'T) but come ON i'm 2! what do you expect. i notice after breaking several ornaments that each day, it seems less and less of the tree is decorated. in fact, it is almost only decorated on the top half. it's okay. i have a higher reach than mommy and daddy realize.

so, these days i am super duper into trains. i heard mommy saying it is going to be a "thomas christmas" and i don't quite know what that means either. but i am not stupid. i know thomas is a train. i also really like penguins and beautiful things. i think a lot of things are beautiful. the other day i took a beautiful nap. i have a beautiful cat, mommy is beautiful and the day is beautiful. i like to say "it's a beautiful day outside today" because when i do, mommy gets all weird and it cracks me up.

yesterday i went and saw santa. i mean, i really saw SANTA. the real deal, man, not a picture. the real guy. yup. at the mall. i have asked daddy to scan the picture so i can post it here to prove that i really saw him. a lot of the kids were in cute red sweaters and fancy hairdos, but i was in my yellow shirt and brown cords. i am not sure my shirt was clean. however, alot of those kids who's mommies dressed them up to see the big guy cried like wussies and never got the picture. me, i just ran up to santa, sat on his lap and told him i was behaving and that i wanted a blue train. i am so badass.

i am also very excited because my auntie karen is coming to visit soon. (my crazy best friend who wants to put me in dresses. yes. i said crazy. accept it auntie. embrace it) well, okay, truth be told....even tho i love her so much, i don't have real real real clear memories of her....but mommy is so excited, so it is making me excited. i know she is the coolest person ever. i can't wait to see her. it's going to be very cool. i am going to have her give me juice and cookies and wine.

also, i am going to be a king in a church xmas pageant. mommy is going to be a camel. god i hope someone takes pictures.

one more funny story before i go. the other day i was taking a bath and i wrapped myself up in the shower curtain and i said "i am in a elevator" and i went up and down and then i opened the doors and closed the doors. then i said, "i go peepee in the elevator" then i assumed the position and peed. it was so fun. what i loved most about it was that i said it and THEN i did it. i didn't do it and then say it. there is a profound difference. hopefully mommy hasn't caught on to that sublety yet because then it's going to be on the potty all the time. i would much rather pee in the tub. one of my favorite books, "green eggs and ham" has sam-i-am sitting in the potty, reading a newspaper. i told mommy, "sam-i-am is on the potty, trying to go peepee. or maybe poops" mommy thinksi am very smart.

well, okay then. bed time.

PS don't try to tell me the guys name isn't sam-i-am. they can both be sam-i-am.
