not really. but i decided i wanted it to be. mommy asked me if i wanted to bake a carrot cake today and i told her "that's disgusting" (which is by the way, my new favorite thing to say). so she asked me what i wanted to bake and i said a birthday cake--a blue one with red frosting. so, we went to walmart and bought a mix and tub of frosting--white--and we made cupcakes and put food coloring in them. and i decided that it was my birthday. i even put candles in my cupcakes. happy birthday to me!
conversations recently had with mom, that some might think are interesting. i dunno. just trying to express my opinion. ask a question. you know. i'm almost 4. inquiring minds wanna know, y'know?
there is a cement factory that might be built near our town and mommy and daddy are mad about it. a long time ago, we went to a meeting in an old building with a lot of other people who think its a bad idea. i was thinking about it recently and asked mommy why we went to that meeting. when she told me, i said
"i can think of 2 reasons why it is good to build a cement factory here. one, is people can have nice furniture with cement inside and two, you can build foundations for new houses." you know, she said i was right and that they were two very good reasons and that everyone can have an opinion. see, i THINK about this stuff. clearly, mommy doesn't.
the other thing i said was "gas is like food for cars." mommy said something like, yes my genius son. you're right. you're brilliant. not quite a direct quote, but she said something probably pretty close to that. then i said "what if cars used electricity instead of gas?" mommy said that pretty soon that might be true. probably because i said it. don't let anyone tell you a 3-almost-4 year-old didn't invent electric cars. because i did. yes i did. YES I DID!!!!! stop lying and saying i didn't! i DID YOU BIG DARN DOODY HEAD!

one last exciting thing
so over the weekend i say ti mom something like "i wanted to get out the boogers so i put the green from the tomato in my nose and now i can't breathe at all" apparently mommy thought i could breathe okay, because she didn't panic. couldn't see the tomato stem with the naked eye tho---oh no--i put it waaaaay waaay up there. lucky for me mommy has an otoscope and she looked up my nose and found it. while calling the vitaline nurse and waiting for her to call back, mommy went to the store to get big tweezers. well, when i found out what she planned on doing with those tweezers, i found a way to snot-rocket that tomato stem right out my nose. no everything is jut fine.
kindergarden here i come!
what a topic of conversation in our house. first they changed the age to go to kindergarden so i was going to be stuck in daycare (we call it preschool, now) for an extra year. then we heard we could find a way for me to test in early which wouldn't really be early, just when it used to be. then we heard they changed the cut off date back but not until next year, which is when i need kindergarden anyways. and if that wasn't bad enough, at my preschool the transition from OP (older preschool) to either Pre-K or a different OP is a big hot topic. parents have very definite opinions of which class they should go to, which teachers they should have and even which friends (we call students "friends" here )should be in class with them. but they are assigned by the bosses. mommy told the bosses, "you know donovan, so just put him where you think he will be the most successful" mommy said she isn't going to play that "but MY child needs to be here this year!" balony. so am i going to go to OP2 where most of my friends are going? after OP2 then they go to pre-K. or do i go straight to pre-K? then i can get into kindergarden early. or, as my parents say, i can spend 2 years in pre- k if i ain't ready to go to kindeegarden. i think we decided that i will skip OP2 and go right to pre-K. it will be some older kids, but once they realize that i am actually superman, it will be okay. i get to keep my same teachers. mommy says i am going to have to learn things like buttoning my pants and wiping my butt better after i poop. i think pre-k is kind of a big deal. i will start pre-k next week and then next month---i turn 4 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
donovisms
i will tell you all about our family vacation, but first i have to tell you something i told mommy that she thought was funny. i had jotted down a few of my more recent donovisms, but somehow they became missing, which totally sucks(a word i do say).
i mentioned that i am not allowed to talk about how people look. especially if they are fat. especially if they are fat and mommy. well, sometimes i forget. so, i looked up mommy's shirt--it WAS after dinner, so give me a break--and it looked.....like she had eaten a big dinner. so i said, "WHOA MOMMY! YOU.....(this is where i catch myself)...had a big dinner so i just want to make sure your tummy isn't getting ripped out of your skin because then there will be blood and then you'll die. " and that was where i was smart enough to tell the old fat broad that i was worried and i loved her, hug hug. i don't think she caught on to my almost saying what i almost said.
also, i am officially going to preschool this year--next week--and i know it is because i know things like this: said to mommy when asking for a glass of tonic water with lime. no gin, no vodka, just tonic, ice and a slice of lime. just like mommy drinks it. she gives it to me because she can't figure out if it is soda and i am not allowed to have soda unless someone like aunt tiff gives it to me. but me and mommy, we looove our tonic and lime. so i explained to her that "tonic water is good for me because it has a lot of protein in it. and the protein goes into the cells in your blood and takes out the old protein. then the old protein goes out in your poop, so that is why i want tonic water." look, you just can't argue with science. that is the key to getting your way--especially as a kid---prove your point. defend your argument. who doesn't want the bad protein to be wisked away out of the potty.
did i really not post about out Family Vacation? seriously? another time. the hiking... the fishing... the river....the campfires, man it was fun.
i got to spend a weekend without mom and dad recently, which was pretty cool. unca jas and aunt tiff came to my house and spent the weekend while mommy and daddy went away on a romantic grown-up trip without me. i offered to come, but they said no. i had fun with them. but i can't post tooo much about it because one of you readers might be a spy and tell mommy what we did and what we ate and all that. we had a good time, let judt lave it at that. and yes, there as some drinking. it was one lousy sprite and i handled it just fine.

continuing to play catch up. this is my baby book after all.
another cool thing. aunt kendra came with the cousins--shea, auryn and cian. shea is a big boy like me but auryn and cian are babies. we had fun tying them up, because all they could do is cry. then. i was so excited to go to the 4th of july fireworks (far-works i say it, here in these parts). mommy is a big fat party pooper (ooops i forgot, fat is a swear word in our house and i am not allowed to call anyone fat, even if they are) because she didn't want to go. she thought it would be too scary. well, i really wanted to go and so did everyone else. turns out everyone really DID like it........except me. right from the first kaboom, i screamed "run! run! get me outa here!" it was like she was pulling me from a burning building, considering the reason i was so afraid was that the fireworks were going to land on us and electrocute us.mommy had to RUN and carry me. i guess it's good she keeps going to that gym. it's interesting that i am so deathly afraid of fireworks but not lightening, which we get a lot of here.
i still like going to monkey joes.
we took a ferry boat to the aquarium, where there are all the fish from nemo living there.
speaking of fish, i took swimming lessons. it was fun. i don't go under water much, because i don't want to get water in my eyes. it was very fun. we went with school. on the bus.
did i tell you that for a few weeks i insisted on sleeping on the floor snuggled up to a fan? yeah. i still am super duper into fans, but i sleep with it very very close to me while i sleep in bed. i often sleep in my buzz lightyear costume from halloween because, well, actually i AM buzz lightyear. i AM.
new fears, suddenly. out of no where. lightening. always loved it. suddenly petrified of it.
i have become an interesting boy. well, usually i am not a boy but lightening mcqueen or buzz lightyear or spiderman or a queen, but still. i am cool. and smart.
recently said to my mom. what was so smart was that when i looked at her big fat belly, i remembered to stop myself from saying that so i just wiggled it and said
"i just wanted to make sure you didn't eat too much so your skin doesn't rip open and then your blood will fly out and you will be dead." that went over better than when i giggled her belly and said "oh my god, look at that big fat belly"

yeah yeah yeah
well, it's been a while. i start a lot of posts this way, don't i? do you realize i am going to be 4 years old in september? FOUR YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!! altho, i must say, i have had a pretty exciting life, so far.
i have been pretty busy these last few months. too busy to write about it, obviously. i went to my buddy makai's birthday party. he had it at a real farm. it was wicked fun, man. i rode a horse, went for a hay ride, chased around some chickens. and of course, my favorite: ate cake. love birthday cake. i think it is my favorite food. makai is 4.
i told you i saw obama, right? i often shout "YES WE CAN" at various random moments in time. sometimes my mom thinks it is so smart of me and sometimes she tells me to shush.
also, did you know i dressed up like hail? yup. my whole family did. there was this thing, i guess it was a play. last year we were boils. this year, hail. i am still deathly afraid of the cow, like i was last year. it was a fun play. i like to be a plague. there was moses and matzah and hard boiled eggs. if there is food---i'm all over it. next year, we might be slaves. should be a real hoot!
OH! my dance recital! gramma a papa came to visit a long long long time ago---20 years ago, i think. it was may. man. that was a big weekend. i had my dance recital. i was in tap and ballet, you know. i like to dance. i had a cape and a bow tie and when i wore my tap shoes, i was a magician. some of the girls in my class were my Lovely Assistants and then they left the stage and then i waved my magic wand and then the other girls came out and they were bunnies! they curtsied, but i'm a boy and boys don't curtsey, they bow. and then, when i wore my ballet shoes, i was a dog trainer and all the girls in my class were doggies and they jumped thru my hoop. i can post pictures. i will have my daddy help me. probably not my mom, because she doesn't know how to do that stuff. that same weekend, i also had my "dedication." it was okay. i got up in front of the whole church and rev. elaine said a bunch of stuff and tiff & jason became my godparents. i don't know what that means. in fact, a couple weeks after that, we went to tiff's dad's house (does that make him my godgrandfather?) for a pigpickin'. i like pig. i am learning that chicken and fish and other meat that i like is actually dead animals that hunters kill. did you know chicken hunters give us chicken nuggets? it's true. but i liked the pig pickin. i just didn't realize that that it was a real piggy. this might be something i need to think about more.
there was another party.....jackson had his birthday party at the same gym i had my birthday party at. it was so fun. and this time, mommy was not too fat to jump into and get out of the foam pit. i like jackson. and i really like to go to birthday parties at gymnastics.
so here we are, well, into summer....digging the garden i have with my mommy. we started with a lot of veggies, but i like the tomatoes the best. turns out the tomatoes are almost the only thing doing any good. i have to go.

real quick
can't write much, michael moore is going to be on larry king. is it worthy to mention i am starting to have preferences of what clothes i wear? mom thought i skipped over that phase, since other kids care earlier. late bloomer i guess. it started simple enough. i liked pants that didn't have buttons, because they are hard for me. no problem. but now i have all kinds of ideas of what to wear. i like to see how far i can push it. i get farther with dad than mom. dad let me wear my chicken costume to school 2 weeks ago. the costume i wore at halloween when i was ONE. so what the feet were on my knees. i'm a chicken, bak bak.
i am a lot of things.
a chicken for a while
jelly fish
shark
spiderman
yesterday i was a kitty
sometimes a queen.
so?
i should keep a list of all the things i am because i am many many things.
did i tell you how obsessed i am with my new bike? i love it and i ride it fast, all the way to california.

sequins bikes and obama
so things are pretty good. i got my costume for my dance recital which is coming up (my dad is apparently not very happy with it. does anyone know what sequins are and what is wrong with them? are they like germs?) i have a top hat and i have been practicing my bows.
also, someone i know gave me a free 2 wheeler bike. i am now into bike riding like you wouldn't believe. we went out and got me some training wheels for the bike, and i can ride it no problem. my bike looks a lot like mom and dad's, which is really cool. "cool" is one of my newest words, by the way. but now, i can ride my own bike and not ride in that back seat thing on mom's bike. i think i am going to try to ride my bike to california. i know it is far, but i will wear my helmet, so i think i can do it.
i did another really really cool thing today. i even got to take the day off from school to do it. i went to see barack obama make a speech and answer questions. i got to do The Wave and yell "yes we can!" and of course i bowed when people clapped, because i know they were there to see me AND obama. it was very very very loud and it lasted a little too long. but i amused myself by saying i had to go potty really bad several times. that way i got to stay moving. and mommy and daddy didn't get too bored (mostly daddy) because they had to take me to the potty. go obama!!!!!

there is more to life than mommy and daddy
well let's see! my auntie tiff and unca jason picked me up in their pimped out saturn (marred only by the addition of my carseat), which i remember so well. it was azalea fest--pretty big party here in the port city--and i got to go with auntie & unca. no mommy....no daddy! you know what that means don't you! oh yeah! brig on the cotton candy (YUUUUUUUUM!) bring on the soda(forbidden nectar of the gods i have been trying to get my lips on for so long!-double YUUUUUM!). there was way more fun that i can't even post here because my mom will find out suffice it to say it was fun. they learned that i know how to spell pharmacy (altho i don't understand why it doesn't begin with "f") and that i know a quesadilla is a quesadilla and not a pizza (did they really think they could pull that over on me?) it was awesome. super fun day and nothing to do with the parents. is this how life is? i won't be spending the rest of my life having most of my fu with mommy and daddy? really? hmmmmmm. kind of opens up a whole new world, don't it?
then, as if on cue. here i am, outside, minding my own bizniss (mommy properly supervising me of course) when my next door neighbor came over--she is 6--can you believe it-- 6! and she wanted to come play in my yard with me. and she had her cousin, she was a grown up, she was 10 to splay with us. kids came over, UNINVITED, to MY yard and said "do you want to play football with us?" how cool is that??????? then we all discovered how fun it is to climb on a hammock. that was the real bonding activity, i'd say. by this point, i was wishing mom would go away, since i was playing with big kids. and i noticed she did go in the house more and more to stir the soup or something i really felt like a big kid.
yeah. i had an awesome weekend. and awesome life. friends to hang out with. oh yeah. i'm cool.

variation of a toothbrush theme song
mommies version:
brush brush brush your teeth
get them nice and clean
keep away cavities creeps
so you don't make them scream
donovan's version
brush brush brush your teeth,
keep them nice and clean
make sure no mold grows in your teeth
so you don't get sick in your stomach
brush brush brush your teeth
get them nice and clean
keep away cavities creeps
so you don't make them scream
donovan's version
brush brush brush your teeth,
keep them nice and clean
make sure no mold grows in your teeth
so you don't get sick in your stomach
it made sense to me
i don't know why mommy felt this was worthy of repeating, it seemed pretty straight forward to me, but, i guess you can judge for yourself.
i was eating this AWESOME lollipop one of my teachers gave me at school when i was picked up by lame old mom.
she was gabbering about lollipops not making me big and strong and full of sugar and she wishes i wouldn't eat it. i wasn't totally listening, of course, because how can you pay attention to "blah blah blah blah cavities" when you are eating a yummy lolly? duh. but something must have creeped in somewhere, because,
i said to lame old mom: my brain is telling me not to lick this lollipop
lame-o mom: but your mouth probably wants you to lick it because it is yummy in your mouth, even tho it is not good for your body
ummm--YEAH---whaddya think? so i said "i don't want to listen to my brain. i want to listen to my mouth. i wish i could take my brain out so i could just keep licking my lollipop"
i don't know why that is funny. i just want to enjoy my freakin' lollipop!

lessons learned, from mommy
it was a beautiful idea: donovan wakes easter morning and stumbles upon a little egg and a chocolate shaped like a carrot. "what's this?" he would say, quietly to himself. then, just ahead he would notice a small shiny bunny--he would recognize it as a piece of chocolate. hey! another egg! and another one! he would follow the little trail of eggs and candies to the motherload--his easter basket! "Mommy! Daddy!" he would exclaim, happily "The easter bunny was here! The easter bunny was here!" mommy, being the wicked cool mom that she is, would let donovan have a couple pieces of candy before breakfast. donovan would feel like a king, getting candy before breakfast and the day would proceed with our happy little family celebrating spring.
what actually happened: donovan wakes at 4am, to take off his wet pull ups and crawl into bed with us. he notices a chocolate shaped like a carrot. opens it, takes a bite, realizes he is surrounded by candy. not wanting to blow this stellar opportunity, he closes--actually closes mommy and daddy's bedroom door-- and proceeds to stuff his face. at some point, mommy, trying to salvage the moment, goes to see what her darling son has discovered. "it's candy" she thinks he said, but can't quite understand because he has a mouthful of jellybeans "the easter bunny brought it for me and told me to eat it". mommy says, why don't you see what else there is, after the sun comes up. donovan agrees, and unbeknownst to mommy (at the time) comes to bed clutching his chocolate carrot, which you, dear reader, will remember he had taken the wrapper off of. if we actually fell back asleep, we awaken to birds singing and smeared, melted chocolate (at least i think that is what is was) all over the bed.
on the positive side, we didn't have to fix a special easter breakfast before church because the amount of candy that continued to be consumed. also, he doesn't like "peeps"
it has been a long, long sugar filled day. i WILL remember what i did at halloween, which is take advantage of his innocent age and throw the rest of the candy out. as far as he knows, once easter is over, the candy disappears. which it will.
excuse me, i have to check the laundry to see if the chocolate came out of our sheets.
what actually happened: donovan wakes at 4am, to take off his wet pull ups and crawl into bed with us. he notices a chocolate shaped like a carrot. opens it, takes a bite, realizes he is surrounded by candy. not wanting to blow this stellar opportunity, he closes--actually closes mommy and daddy's bedroom door-- and proceeds to stuff his face. at some point, mommy, trying to salvage the moment, goes to see what her darling son has discovered. "it's candy" she thinks he said, but can't quite understand because he has a mouthful of jellybeans "the easter bunny brought it for me and told me to eat it". mommy says, why don't you see what else there is, after the sun comes up. donovan agrees, and unbeknownst to mommy (at the time) comes to bed clutching his chocolate carrot, which you, dear reader, will remember he had taken the wrapper off of. if we actually fell back asleep, we awaken to birds singing and smeared, melted chocolate (at least i think that is what is was) all over the bed.
on the positive side, we didn't have to fix a special easter breakfast before church because the amount of candy that continued to be consumed. also, he doesn't like "peeps"

product placement candy man, dinosaurs, reading
happy easter. i saved easter for myself, barely. i heard mommy mention to dad that we were going to just skip easter because, "what's the point--he's only 3"or some such garbage. easter was never one of the big holidays to mommy or daddy when they were little, like christmas or birthdays. and mommy doesn't like me to eat sugar. because they give me cavities. and mommy let me what a video on the computer and there was a commercial and she said commercials are like cavities for your brain and covered her hand over the screen so i wouldn't see it, but i made her move it and now i really want a honda. so, back to easter. look. i go to school. i am smart. i learn about important things like easter. you know what happens at easter? i'll tell you what: CANDY! so, i made sure i told mommy that easter was my favorite holiday because of the candy. so....i know when i wake up the candy man will have come. and of course, i know i have church that day too.
(insert by mommy: yes, he is right. we were going to skip it. but since he learned that easter--the CANDY holiday-- is coming in that fool school of his, the easter bunny--which he does not know of yet--will have come. cleverly, the easter bunny will have left a trail of colored eggs and little chocolate candies from his bedroom, thru the hall leading to his easter basket. hopefully he will find it the way i want him to and not just break his leg on a chocolate carrot. also, we colored easter eggs today. that was a super fun 5 minutes.)
so it has really been a cool weekend ("cool" is my new word. i think it will catch on) well, for one thing, i went to my very first movie in a movie theatre! they have a very very very very very very very big tv. and we sat way way way way way up high, by the projector. and i got to eat popcorn, which i cannot do when i watch movies at home (no eating in the living room). we saw "horton hears a who" and there was an elephant and a mayor. mommy and daddy were very happy because i behaved and we all had a very good time. i am very good at concentrating on things for a long time when i want to, so i concentrated on watching the movie and behaving.
also, we went to the store in the mall that has escalators (one of my favorite things) and daddy was looking at vacuum cleaners (another one of my favorite things). you wouldn't believe they had a grownup version of the same exact toy vacuum i have! that is so cool that they do that! daddy calls it product placing for kids and i'll tell you--it's okay with me! i got to play with the real version of my toy vacuum. when i grow up i am going to buy it! (hoover wind tunnel--yay)
then today after the mall, there was a fair in the parking lot. it had a lot of rides that looked too scary. but i went on some rides that were very fun. i didn't play any games because mommy said the people who want you to play the games are naughty and want to take your money.
now, a few moments of my genius. or at least, a few moments of things i do that get my parents all excited and serious and saying things like "no really, maybe he should get TESTED" they are so freaking weird i can't believe i am related to them. i drew a dinosaur with a long neck eating leaves off a high tree. and he had 2 legs and 2 feet. and imagine that--it LOOKED like a dinosaur with a long neck eating leaves off a high tree. so they are all excited and put it in the fridge of honor
so, then i tried to "f" with their mind a little more. we were out at a restaurant and they give me crayons and i said, "i think i will draw the letter L" and lo and behold, i drew the same thing i drew for dinosaur legs. and of course, they got all wiggy on me, which is always awesome to see.
but i am really really into learning my letters and trying to read. i know all my letters and i know what sound they all make. i don't know about reading, but i know i like to pick out letters when we go out and say what sound they make --like if we pass a fedex truck--i like those. so we;ll see everyone ha to lean to read sometime, right?
next week i start going to my new big kid class. i am happy about it, but i will miss christina and she she and beverly. i am a little nervous because i don't know how to draw a square.

indigo girls
or, i could have named it "a few of my favorite things" i am really into amy & emily these days. they are the indigo girls and they play guitars. in fact, there is a lullaby cd my mommy and daddy made for me when i was a new born baby and they have played it every single day of my life. make that every single nap of my life because sometimes i go to sleep more than once in the same day. but tonight, i finally stood up for myself and said i want the indigo girls in my night time music. look. i'm 3 1/2 years old. practically a grown up. i think i can pick what music i want to try to not fall asleep to. i particularly like the songs "gallileo" and "joking"
now that i am three 1/2, a whole new world of lessons has been opened to me. and i want to do it all. i have been playing with my mommy's violin and lo and behold, someone offered to give me violin lessons! i said i wanted to take them and he even had a violin my size. so, i think that might happen soon. then, the other day, there was a kids tennis clinic in the courts in my development and i said i wanted to go. so mommy took me. i was by far the youngest kid there, but i did just as good as them big kids. i whacked the ball over the net a couple times. and i have a decent forehand for a 3 1/2 year old.
it was a 90 minute lesson and after an hour i told my mommy i wanted to take a swimming lesson now she said no, we had to wait till it was summer, because we were wearing our hats and coats. she can be such a pain because the pool was right there. all we had to do was tell the swimming teacher (who lives at the pool) that i wanted a lesson. mommy's can be very difficult.
i also want to take gymnastics lessons, which i know mommy wants me to do also. but daddy wants to send me to get soccer lessons, but i can already kick a soccer ball real good. see, there is a problem when mommies and daddies give their kids to many lessons. they end up being weirdos on zoloft before they are 14. and i haven't even mentioned the tap and ballet lessons i have already been taking for the last 6 months (recital coming up!)
the thing is, i really like to learn and i really like to try new things. so mommy and daddy let me. i don't think i am going to take more tennis lessons right now, but it was fun to try. i am also pretty interested in learning how to read, but my genius parents haven't looked for a reading teacher for me! i doubt i will take dance class next year, but we will see! i can pick out most of my letters and i know what a lot of them say.
well, i will have plenty of time to take all kinds of fun lessons of all kinds since, even tho i am a genius and could probably start kindergarden tomorrow, i will have to wait an extra year before starting. that means i won't be in kindergarden till i am 6. this bothers my mommy a lot but i think it is a good idea. the law got changed and they said if you have my birthday you are not allowed to go to kindergarden until you are 6 . oh well. i don't mind.
i start in an older kid class room next week and i am very excited about that. there are going to be 4 year olds in my class. i might have to learn how to read first. but i can make better restaurants with the blocks than the 4 year olds. i make the best restaurants with blocks. i have a scary talent for block-building-restaurants and get this NO LESSONS! just figgered it out all on my own! how's that! peace mah brothers and sistahs (oh did i tell you, i have a baby growing in my tummy. it started out small as a germ and now it is getting bigger. it is a sister and a brother and her name is gloglo)

this'll help me stick to my diet
not by the big d.
big d's dad has one hand. little kids are not shy about asking questions, which d's dad always graciously answers. one of the preschool classmates was having a discussion with d's dad about this and after several questions about it he asked,
"did donovan's mommy eat your hand?"
ha.
donovan did not write a christmas post. he wanted to and he meant to, but he was so busy playing with all his toys he never got around to it. there was church, santa, food, love. the usual. xmas pageant. you know.

tickets to blue man group
after giving me (mommy) a hug he said, "i am glad you're fat. that's how i know you're a mommy."
"i love you mommy. i love your pimples and moles."
after reading a book that involved a wishing pebble. i asked d. if you had a wishing pebble, what would you wish for?" this little 3 year old dreamer replies, "i wouldn't wish for nothin'. just love"
mommy was on the phone with the on call nurse because d. was throwing up green. i posed one of her questions to him, so the nurse could hear his answer thru the phone. "did you eat anything yucky today?" "yes," he replied, serious as can be...."i had to eat old leftover broccoli out of the garbage because my mommy wouldn't gie me dinner."

title? what title?
did i tell you i was buzz lightyear for halloween? i will try to find a picture. it was fun. i liked trick or treating. and, altho i didn't say anything to my mom, i got a little comfused, because i got a whole bunch pf candy--and i DID eat a few pieces that night, but then *poof!* after that, it was gone! i don't know where it went.
i am having a lot of fun at dance class. i can do heel-step and toes-in-the-back and i can bow and i can plié. my recital is may 18, and you are all invited! please come! it might be the 17th, which is granny-frannie's birthday. but i want a lot of people to come to my recital.
how was your thanksgiving? mine was good. we went to a potluck, me and mommy and daddy and then me and mommy went to one of her friends at work and we had dessert and i got to play with a guitar. i love the guitar. i am very good at it (of course).
today we went on a field trip at school and i got to ride in the van and we saw christmas trees and a singer who i don't think was greg greenway, but he played guitar and there was santa claus also. AND mom signed a permission slip to let me watch a movie at school. we had pictures at school and i wore a tie and a vest and pants with suspenders and i looked really good.
i know this is a boring post. too bad.

3 is the good life
i do. i have a really good life and i am pretty happy these days. i started my new school. and even tho i miss my old teachers very much, i get to talk to them on the phone, so it isn't so bad. and i will visit them one of these days soon. my new school has a very nice teacher and all the kids use the potty. the potty and the sink and the paper towels are just my height so i don't need a step stool and can do it by myself. and i have a cool lunch box that i bring. and i take stretch and grow and dance class. and i even know some of the other kids in other classes because their mommies work with my mommy and they came to my birthday party. AND mommy sometimes makes me real peanut butter and jelly sammiches, which i thought i had before but it turns out that was a lie (soy nut butter? almond butter? ain't NOTHIN like this real stuff). that might be the best food ever. well, no. friday is pizza day at school. how awesome is that?
i also started sunday school, which is very fun. they let me light a candle...what's not to like about that?
i had a really REALLY REAALLY fun birthday party. we went to a gynnastics place and we jumped on trampolines and off balance beams into big foam pits that the grown ups couldn't get out of, which was funny. and there was a popsickle course that was fun to go thru. i think i want to take gynnastics classes. and i had a cake with trucks on it and it was yummy. and i got a LOT of presents. i think i might make someone sad if i forget to say a present someone gave me by accident, so i won't say everything i got. but i will say there is not one present that i didn't like. and even at 3 years old i know that when you get a bunch of presents there are always a few you kind of just ignore and forget about. but i totally scored and i heard mommy saying it made her "a little uncomfortable" whatever, she is going to have to get over it. no, i don't have too many toys and yes i appreciate all the new things i have. well, some relatives send "checks" or "money" or "savings bonds" and i don't really get that. i am rotating thru each and every toy and enjoying them thoroughly. so there, mother.
today was a good day too. not only did i get 4 books in the mail (i think from auntie karen) but i also went to the dentist for the first time and got my teeth cleaned. she polished my teeth and counted them and put a little hose and a vacuum in my mouth and i got to lay in a chair that went up and down and then they let me watch when they cleaned mommie's teeth. i had no cavities. it was fun.
the only thing that could make things better would be if daddy was here all the time. but, other than that, things are pretty good. i think i am going to like being 3.

ballet and tap shoes yay
if i keep my underpants clean and dry all day with no accidents i get a surprise after i brush my teeth. sometimes i get books or little cars. my 2 favorite surprises were lip balm (i could give minty kisses) and last week i got a small dustpan with a dust broom. i liked it so much i slept with it.
what?
what's wrong with liking a dust pan? i like things nice and clean, just like my daddy.
mommy said she can't keep giving me so many surprises and that it is going to stop soon. well, shucks mom, i guess that means i am going to stop going peepee in the potty then, huh? i mean, hello?! what's my motivation here? she said something about giving me tokens or some dumb crap so i can turn it IN for a surprise. yeah. mommy is just going to have to learn that if she gives me presents for doing something and then the presents stop rolling in...well....there is such a thing called "natural consequences" i don't exactly know what that means, but i have an idea.
also, my birthday is coming up and i am going to be three and i am going to have cake. also, i am going to have a birthday party at a gymnastic place.
also i am going to start a new school on monday. mommy said we were on the waiting list for a year. they have computer class and spanish class and music class and stretch & grow and dance class. i am going to take computer class and stretch & grow (which i did at my old school) and dance. we got my ballet shoes and my tap shoes already and i am very excited.
i had my last day at my old school yesterday. there was a little party for me and all the teachers gave me lots and lots of presents and they were crying and stuff and mommy said i could visit whenever i wanted. she wouldn't let me open the presents because she said it wasn't my birthday yet. one of the presents is from one of my teacher's mommies. they love me very much at my old school and i love them. i don't know what "last day" means so i will have to ask my teachers on monday. i think it means "birthday" because of the cupcakes and presents.
now my gramma and papa are visiting for the weekend. o love them. grampa plays with me outside which is good because mommy never does and daddy is always in raleigh. mommy has strep throat and is going to take a nap while everyone but her went out to dinner.

what i did on my summer vacation
when too much time passes between posts, too much flavor just gets lost. i had originally planned to keep a day-byday account of my super awesome vacation.....back in august. so let's see.........
on day one we drove to maryland and stayed in a house with a pretty girl younger than me and their dog maggie who i was very afraid of. i didn't have any peepee accidents at all.
the next day we drove to new york and i didn't have any accidents again. i only used the potty. new york was fun. we saw nona and pop and uncle elliott and aunt sherri. we stayed with aunt sonnie and tom who i love so much and they have this very tiny tiny white dog and i am petrified of her. and i saw my uncle dave and uncle dan which was awesome because i never get to see them. they are my mommies brothers
then a couple days later we drove to the greatest place in the world: cape cod.
i got to play with my cousin who is a big boy, he's 4. they had bunk beds in cape cod and we had pillow fights and played all kinds of games up on the top bunk. my mommy, who as you know is very mean, wouldn't let me sleep on the top bunk even tho it was a bed. i played with my little cousins too, but they were nmot as much fun as my big cousin. and we went on a whale watch on a big boat and we saw lots and lots of whales. we saw there mouthes and their tails and mommies and babies. it was probably the greatest day of my life. and we went to one beach and it didn't have waves and i liked it and we looked for hermit crabs. and we went to another beach and it had waves and i don't like waves. one day we were walking down the street in a place called provinctown and i thought it would be funny to pull my pants down. and a man who sounded like a lady said "oh honey don't do that then everyone will want to start doing it" and mommy was trying to yell at me but she was laughing and that is always fun when i can manage that trick.
oh i forgot before we went on our vacation, conor came to visit. and we went to monkey joe's. conor's mommy is my mommy's friend.
and then, i was doing really good not having accidents in my pants. and then we were in a store and my mommy SAID to the lady that she is potty training me and could we PLEASE use your bathroom and the lady said no, so i peed on her floor. ha. i wish mommy didn't clean it up. mean old lady.
i didn't want to leave cape cod it was the most fun i have ever had in my life and mommy and daddy were with me the whole time and i will never forget it.
then we went back and did a lot of driving again and the whole trip i didn't have any accidents. we went back to new york and we had dinner with michelle and i was very naughty in the resturant. but i was behaving so much, and i didn't want to be there so i was naughty. too bad. and i saw mommy's friend heidi for a little while. mommy wouldn't let me go in her house tho so daddy took me too hoffman's playland where i rode the trains and the boats and the helicopters.
then we went back to maryland again and visited and then we went home.
i was very happy to come home but i still think cape cod is the best place in the world.
on day one we drove to maryland and stayed in a house with a pretty girl younger than me and their dog maggie who i was very afraid of. i didn't have any peepee accidents at all.
the next day we drove to new york and i didn't have any accidents again. i only used the potty. new york was fun. we saw nona and pop and uncle elliott and aunt sherri. we stayed with aunt sonnie and tom who i love so much and they have this very tiny tiny white dog and i am petrified of her. and i saw my uncle dave and uncle dan which was awesome because i never get to see them. they are my mommies brothers
