Moo Cows

Mommy says thank goodness I sleep till 7 now. When I was a little baby, not the big boy I am now, I usually wanted out of bed at 4:30 in the morning. Daddy always would tell me as he changed my diaper that we did not own any dairy cows, there was no reason to get up this early. I wish we did, I like moo cows, only not too close. Daddy has less lines around his eyes now that I sleep later, but I miss seeing him in the morning before he goes to work. We would sit in the comfy chair by the front window and watch the sun come up. One time he took me out in the back yard and we saw a big owl in the tree. I liked clinging to his arm as he carried me around. Now I walk mostly, since I'm so good at it, plus I weigh 5000 lbs's according to Daddy.

Boogers

I try very hard to talk. I practice and repeat words constantly. I'm getting pretty good with some words. Yesterday, when Daddy got home from work, he asked me what I did all day. Usually I say things like "Play truck" or "Play sandbox" But yesterday I said, "Booger. Big bigger upim nose. Mommy get it." I thought it was very clear. But Daddy started laughing and laughing. I don't understand why.

The Croup

I am finally over the Croup. I still cough stuff, which my Momma wants me to spit, but I try and swallow, and get "boogers", but I feel much better. Daddy took me to the park yesterday and I rode the slides and the baby swings, and even the big swings with Daddy. Then we shared a muffin and coffee (he won't let me drink the coffee, it's too hot).

I'm glad I feel better. I get very grumpy when I'm sick, and throw temper tantrums. I even lie down on the driveway concrete if I don't get to push my bicyle where I want. Now I'm back to my normal pleasant self. I know Mommy and Daddy still love me when I'm grumpy, but they don't smile as much.

Whenever I say "damn it" they smile, but then they don't look at me. I wonder why?
