Whew! What a week!

Whew! I'm a tired tot!

We spent all last weekend in Little Rock. All of us and Aunt Cathi, Uncle Tony, and my best pal and cousin Laila went to Riverfest. I never seen so many people in all my life! There were big people, little people, all kinds of people!

I finally got to meet Mary Grace. Neither one of us felt like talking much. I had sunscreen in my eyes, so they were kinda red. And Mary Grace has been sick, she had to have a biopsy, so she was kinda quiet too.

We watched these guys do all kinds of flips. They were flipping off of each others heads! They even had some big kids down there, and the guys were jumping and flipping over their heads!

There were a lot of girls showing off how they can dance. Some little bitty girls not much bigger than me were dressed like brides and they couldn't remember how to do their dance. Everybody clapped for them anyway and said they were just the cutest. Hey, I thought I was the cutest???

We went to this place in North Little Rock called the Old Mill. It is really pretty. There were lots of tasty looking flowers, but mama wouldn't let me eat them. She said I could just look. What fun is that? At least dada let me down for a while and let me crawl around. I hate being carried around all the time. I can get around by myself, so why do they want to carry me? They won't let me eat flowers, or rocks, or paper cups, they spoil everything!

They took me out to eat Sunday before we went back to Riverfest. They ordered me a grill cheese sandwich. Did I mention I could live on sandwiches? I love bread! I also love cheese and penut butter. And crackers and my kitten. My kitten screamed at me last time I bit his tail. That was funny. While we were waiting for the food, I showed them all how cute I am. I played peek-a-boo with them. All this time they been tryin to teach me, and I let em think I couldn't do it. Then when I had all their attention, I showed em I could! They all laughed and clapped, they were so loud I thought we'd get kicked out of the restaurant!

After we ate, we went back to Riverfest. We were supposed to get to hear an orchestra and watch some fireworks. I don't know what either of those are, but it sounds like fun. We parked, walked to the river, found us a spot on the hill, and it started raining. Hard. I was a drenched baby! laila and I thought it was fun getting rained on. We wanted to play. But the big people are no fun. They were grabbing umbrellas and stuff and walked back to where we parked. By the time we got to the van, everybody was all wet. Serves them right for not letting a baby have any fun!

Guess what? I'm so big! I get to start school on Monday! Mama got a call yesterday and they are ready for me to come on Monday! I get to go to Easter Seals school. There are lots of other babies my age there. I will have fun biting them! Uh-oh, mama saw that and told me I'm not allowed to bite. Well, she won't be there! She's sad cause she says she will miss me. I'll miss her too, but I'll have lots of new friends! Too bad Laila can't go with me.

Me and Laila got 2 new swimming pools. We have one at my house and one at hers. Mama and Aunt Cathi put us in the pool at Lailas yesterday. They put us in there buck nekkid then took pictures of us swimming! They said something about "blackmail" I don't know what that is, but they were laughing about it. Laila and I splashed each other and the mamas. It was fun. We both kept trying to reach out and get leaves and grass and stuff to play with, and the mamas kept telling us no. We thought we'd be smart and climb out and grab stuff, but all that got us was a bath in the pool. Aunt Cathi went in and got baby wash and they scrubbed us down. No fun! What good is outside if you can't get dirty?
