A Long Week

This week Daddy has been away and I have not been happy about it. My naps have been very short and I am not sleeping at night. On Monday, Mommy and I went to Beaver Dam to go shopping. When we got back to Waupun to had just enough time to get ready to go to the waterfall park and had a picnic lunch with our friends. After lunch and playing at the park we walked home and I took a very short nap. In the afternoon we played outside. That night when Mommy put me to bed she went back down stairs and got a drink. All of sudden she heard a noise and it was me. I climbed out of my crib for the first time and then walked down the steps. Mommy brought me right back upstairs and I showed her how I could climb out and climb right back in. That started a huge battle of wills Mommy wouldn't let me back in the crib and I didn't want to stay in the my airplane bed on the floor. I kept coming down and Mommy would bring we right back we did this for three hours until I finally gave in and fell asleep in Mommy's bed.

Tuesday, we had kids here to paint for the backdrop for VBS. I like playing with them. Mommy had to go and work at the thrift store. Marla came and took me to Mc Donalds, I got a Happy Meal and I was able to play in the play area. I had fun, but when I got home I gave Mommy a run for her money again with nap time. It took me a long time to go to bed and then she woke me up before I wanted. I did not want to talk with Daddy when he called that day because I was still mad that he had gone away.

Wednesday and Thursday were still rough days for both Mommy and I. This morning I woke up with allergies, a cold, or my final two teeth coming in. This morning I made Father's Day and Grandfather's Day cards. When I got tired of making cards and I went and got my Lighting Mac Queen car and Mater. I climbed right back up the stool played with them. Telling Mommy all kinds of stories and then asking for more cars. I played like that for an hour. Then we went and brought a whole bunch of VBS stuff to church. I took a good nap today and while I was sleeping Mommy worked hard on painting my new bed.

Tonight we went and watched the softball team that Daddy plays on. I got to see my friends and Mommy got to talk with some adults. The best part of the day was after the game I got to talk with Daddy on the phone! I can't wait for Saturday when Daddy comes home.

Missing Daddy

Yesterday, Daddy left for a week with the youth group. I can't quite figure out where Daddy is or why he is gone. Mommy played in a softball tournament this weekend. It was a tournament to raise money for the athletic club at CWCS. She has not played in five years. They won 2 games and lost 2 games. Mommy is a little sore from diving for so many balls. She was playing in a game and I was napping when Daddy left for Cedar Rapids, IA. After Mommy got home we played here for a while and then we went over to some friends house for a picnic. I played outside with their boys and we had supper at the picnic table right by their pool. I had my second hot dog, grapes, and chips it was so great.

After supper I learned how to shoot a water gun. I got Mommy all wet. When we got home Daddy called and I asked him where he was. At first I thought maybe he was with Uncle Chris but he said no. Then I asked if he was at the farm with Grace and Joe, but said no again. I just can't figure out where he is because he is not with family.

I miss Daddy but I know that when he gets home we are going on our camping vacation with Grandpa Buck and Grandma Sara YEAH!!!!

WHY?

"Why" is my new favorite word. I use it at least 20 times an hour. Mommy and Daddy answer my questions and explain things I like all the new information I am learning. I love playing outside and having picnics outside. I just wish that Mommy would let me take my naps outside. Then life would be perfect.

I love to pretend that I am a puppy dog. I go around on my hands and knees panting like a puppy. I will also lick you leg, hand, or face if I can. The best part of being a puppy dog is that Mommy will give my a rub down and sometimes she pretends to be a puppy as well. My cars are still a favorite toy I love to drive my cars and trucks to Pizza Ranch. I have several Pizza Ranch stations set up around the living room and porch area.

We have ripped a bunch of shrubs from around the house and planted new flowers. I have the job of watering the flowers and I do a great job of it. I may over water a little but sure is fun when I get a 5 gallon bucket of water and my little watering can.
