No Mystery Here

Could this be why there is about a pound of sand at the bottom of the bathtub after it drains???

Cheap Entertainment

I don't touch, but I get really, really close...

I have discovered the joy of the bug that was created in large part to entertain children - the Roly Poly. When I see one, I get so excited, you would think it was raining dolls. Mommy has taught me not to touch them, only to watch, but gosh is that difficult!

Providing the Best Companionship

As some of you may know, my daddy has not been feeling well lately. He went to the doctor two weeks ago and a whirlwind of tests ensued. After three MRI's and a CT scan, today he went for a spinal tap. Now, he has to lie on his back until tomorrow morning. He is nestled in the guest bedroom, and I am helping take care of him and keeping him company.

Perfect Timing

Who knew that when Daddy went to Randall's at 6:00 p.m. on Mother's Day, the absolute last card on the shelf would be the perfect one?

Mother's Day Swing

I always adopt my cousin Sam's doll during my visit. He is 25 now, so he no longer needs it, and probably doesn't want to admit that it was once his!

Remember the flowers I helped BaBa plant during my last visit? Look at them now!

I insisted on putting Carsyn in her stroller so I could push her. Isn't she sweet?

Poor Jake is always ready for me to leave when I visit him!

Searching for strawberries with Aunt Celia

"Granny, please don't show her how to push the panic button!" said Mommy.

Granddaddy, Daddy and Me

We broke in Mommy's new car this weekend with our travels to see family. Our first stop was Houston to see Granny, Granddaddy, Uncle Larry and Aunt Celia. Then we were off to Victoria to visit BaBa. On our way home we stopped to visit our friends, the Autreys/Boones, and got to see baby Carsyn.

End of Year Picnic

Believe it or not, yesterday was my last day of school. We celebrated with a school-wide picnic at the park. It's been a great year, and I will miss my teachers and friends!

The Things We Do for Our Kids

Mother's Day is coming up this weekend, so for all the fellow moms our there, Happy Mother's Day! As we all know, we make great sacrificies for our kids...as evidenced by my willingness to give up my chair for my babies while I sit uncomfortably on the arm rest.

New Doll

I have quite a collection of dolls because they are my absolute, most favorite toy. They are all shapes and sizes, but none of them do anything that I am not responsible for (like putting them in the chair for a tea party). Today; however, I added a new doll to the collection, and she SWIMS - all on her own (well, with the help of three 3A batteries, which Mommy says we will now have to buy in bulk). I am sure she and I will have loads of fun this summer!

Teasing Mommy

People often ask if I am potty-trained yet. Mommy gives them the same answer I give her when she asks me if I want to go on the potty - NO! The other day, Mommy heard my step-stool moving, which rarely means I am putting it in front of the sink to wash my hands (its sole intended purpose). In this case I moved it by the toilet, put my Elmo potty seat on, climbed up and grabbed some toilet paper. Of course, I was fully clothed and there was no real intention of using the toilet, but it appears I have the idea down...

Rubber Ducky

September 2007

April 2009

When I was little (hey, it's all relative), I used to take a bath in this blow-up duck. It is the perfect bridge between a baby bath and the big tub - plus when you squeeze the bill, it QUACKS! The other day, I found the duck in the closet and, after trying to blow it up myself, begged Mommy to do it. Since then, I have been dragging it around the house, filling it with miscellaneous items and insisting that it be brought in the tub with me. I no longer fit in the duck, so between the duck, my pool floatie, a tea set, two boats, 54 foam letters, three wind-up butterflies and my princess crown and mirror, there's not much room left in the tub for me.
