My Grandma and Papa are thrilled about it also…  We have been watching “Star Wars: The Clone War” animated series a couple of times a day for the last few weeks.

I have the Star Wars minifigures hidden in every room in our house; they’re everywhere…  Of course, sometimes Papa is not too thrill about that.  Occasionally they get accidentally dropped on the rug and are very difficult to see at night.. especially when you’re walking in your bare feet.   One day, I’ll have to work on that.

I have some Lego Star Wars kits too.  Papa helps me build them.   As Papa puts them together I’m busy either taking them back apart, using the pieces for my own masterpiece, or hiding critical parts.  It can get very exciting when Papa realizes that a critical piece is missing when the model is half way complete.   I always know where the missing pieces are; Papa just hasn’t figured that out yet.

What’s very cool right now (and yes, I talk that way know, not sure who I picked up the work “cool” from) is that McDonald’s is giving away Star Wars stuff in their Happy Meals.   Here’s a picture of me with my lightsaber…  please forgive how Papa looks.. it’s the only picture we had.

Well, that’s it for tonight.

Thanks a lot for stopping by and please stop by again.

So here I am… Posting this time until I leave.

Another good reason for posting today is I went the dentist this morning.   For some reason no one would let me eat or drink anything before we went, not even a drink of water.  Talk about cruel and unusual.. But digress…

When I arrived at the dentist they put me in a chair and made breath weird stuff that made me giggle a lot.   Then he gave me a shots.  I thought it was going to hurt but I didn’t feel a thing.    He did his thing and when he finished we left.

He had to fix something that had to do with points my back teeth.  He said I keep those back teeth until I’m 11 or 12 years old.  He obviously has never seen me climb Grandma’s cabinets.

All went well until I go home.  I couldn’t get my tongue and lips to wake up.  I even asked Grandma to try, she couldn’t either.  I couldn’t feel them at all.  That made it kind strange while trying to eat my yogurt.  It eventually went away.

After I had a little bit to eat, we met Aunt Lauren, Colten, Faith, and Annabelle at the park and played for a while.   Next thing I know it’s now and I’m writing this.

Well, thanks for stopping by and giving this a read

Hope you continue to visit, at least for as long as Grandpa lets me keep this thing go

Thanks and Bye..

It seems my Mom is moving up north, way far from Texas, and I, of course, am going with her.

One of my big blogging secrets is that my Papa occasionally helps me out with this blog.   Not being around him will make it difficult if not impossible to continue this blog.

I will miss sharing how I grow up with you all.   Who knows, maybe someday I’ll try this again.  But for now, it must come to an end.

Thank you so much for reading and following this blog.  And thank you especially for all of the nice comments and notes over the last 2  1/2 years.

Yup, I’ve been writing and you all have been reading this blog since November 2008, for more than two and a half years.  And yes, I was only a year old when this old started.   At 3  1/2 years old it comes to an end.

So just like that, this blog is no more

Thanks again for stopping by, it’s been fun

I was very good at the actual planting part.  But I was great a spreading the dirt around.  Do know how far dirt will fly when that little plastic shovel snaps out of the dirt?  You’re right, a very long way.. LOL

Well, that’s all for today

Then of course, I need to give Grandma a hard time about what I want for breakfast.  This can sometimes go on for 30-40 minutes.  I usually win.

Today, after doing some shopping, I got to visit Annabelle, my new cousin.  She likes me.

I get to hug and sit on her blanket with her.  She was even trying to talk to me today.  That’s why her tongue is sticking out.

We did a few other things… and by 4 PM I had had and crashed in my chair.

Life is tough… (smile)

When Papa is in his office, you can usually find me in his office also.  Today, I was catching up on my reading, looking through the latest Lego catalog that just arrived.   When the magazine gets boring, I can always play Angry Birds on my (Papa’s) iPhone.   He thinks it’s his iPhone but we all know better.  It’s just like his iPad.  He thought that was his for the longest time also.   he learned eventually… (smile)

If work is going well for Papa, he let’s me sit on his lap while he works.  I think he tries to avoid this though.  Whenever I’m on his lap, we also manage to end up doing something completely on planned on his computer.  It’s funny how things like that happen…

Well, I hear someone calling us for dinner.

Thanks for stopping by and please stop by again

Can you tell that I’m just a little bit thrilled to get to hold her.

I think Grandma and Papa were holding their breath for the entire 2 minutes I was allowed to hold.

What could have possibly gone wrong… (smile)…

Catch you in a few days.

We play on Saturdays at the local YMCA.  There are lots of teams and lots of kids.. so I get to meet new people.  I do enjoy playing with other kids so this is great.

Here’s a picture of me in my jersey with my shine guards on and my strange shoes.   My shoes have bumps and points all over the bottom.. they feel weird when I walk on hard stuff but work pretty well when running on grass.

And of course, we need a couple of action shots to show off my skills.

But don’t worry because Grandma has found a way to always make me quiet as a mouse.   She’s just gives me my iPad.   Of course, Grandpa thought it was his iPad but we all know better.  Someday, we’ll have to tell him.

Getting back to my original story…  Grandma just has to turn it on and hand it to me and instant silence.

The iPad is extremely cool.  It has games, puzzles, books, TV shows, movies, videos and photos of me and my family, and much much more.  What’s there not to like.  You would be amazed at how long it can keep me busy.

If we are at a restaurant for example, and I start to get just a little antsy, out comes the iPad and suddenly I’m calm and quiet.

What really fascinates Papa is how well I use it.  I can turn it on, adjust the volume, pick the app or video I want to watch..  I can even size things… flick my fingers out and it gets bigger, flick my fingers in and it gets smaller.  And turning pages is a breeze; you just swipe the page in the direction you want to go.

The only problem I have is I can get Grandpa’s computer screen to change pages when I swipe it, no matter how hard I pound on the monitor.

And remember when I said Papa still thinks the iPad is his?   Last time I check I had a couple of seasons of  “Dinosaur Train“, “Little Einsteins“, “Jacks’s Big Music Show“, “Wonder Pets“, “Rugrats”, and tons of “Phineas and Ferb” (Papa likes them also), and a couple of seasons of “Scooby Doo“.  Scooby Doo is my favorite.  I could watch him all day.

I also have the three Toy Story movies (“Toy Story“, Toy Story 2“, and “Toy Story 3“) loaded on the iPad..  and don’t even get me going about all of the books, games and puzzles I have.

If Papa ever decided he wanted to use it, I don’t think there’s room for any of his stuff… (smile)..

Catch you in a few days.

This way too cool.  Annabelle will be my first cousin that I am old enough to play with when she’s still a baby.

Aunt Lauren  and daughter are both doing just fine…

Catch you in a few days.
