I'm 6!!!

I'm 6!!

Hi!!

Hello!! I haven't written in my blog for a very long time but I wanted every to know that I'm 5 years old and it's 4 days before Christmas!!! Yesterday, my Daddy took me bowling and I got tired after the first 2 games so I took a break. My Daddy and my brother bowled the 3rd game all the way until the 7th frame. My Daddy didn't have even one strike so I told him I would bowl for him now. I walked up and threw the ball and it was straight down the lane and crashed right into the pins and I knocked them all down!! I got my first strike EVER!!!! I didn't even have to use the bumpers!!! I love my family and I can't wait for Santa to come in a few days!! On Saturday, we get to open one present! You can make it one present opening day but you don't have to. I have a key to bathroom #1. I found a key that Daddy got in the mail to win a free car but I used it to unlock the bathroom door instead. And it fits!! I have a goldfish named Lindrielle that Santa brought me last year for Christmas.

Grandma B

It’s time now that I need to post something that I never wanted to have to post. I’m not posting it for other people to read as much as I am posting it for my own feelings to begin to heal.

As I sit here typing this in my Word editor, the screen looks cold and dead. I have no comfort from it to help me with my words. Forgive me if my grammar isn’t as sharp as it should be for a 2 year old.

The week of May 4th, I noticed that my Daddy was on the phone a lot with with Aunt Bobbie, Aunt Dee, and my Grandma B. Every day when he got home from work he would call and talk to my Grandma B. He would go outside where he could have some quiet time to talk. He would come back inside and he looked really sad. Then there was one day, on Wednesday I think, when he got off the phone with Grandpa B and Aunt Bobbie and he started crying really hard. I didn’t know what to do so I just stayed next to him on the bed and tried to make him feel better. On

Friday, I got to see Grandma B on the computer. Daddy and Aunt Bobbie hooked it up so that we could see each other. Grandma B also got to see a video that Daddy uploaded to the internet so that Grandma B could see me walking around. She hadn’t been back out to my house since I started walking yet. The next day, Mommy took Daddy to the air port so that he could go and visit with Grandma B. Daddy got to Chicago and Aunt Bobbie and Amy picked him up from the air port and they drove to the hospital. Daddy got to see Grandma B and spend some time with her and talk with her for awhile. She was very tired but was very happy to see him and everyone else too. Daddy wanted to stay in the hospital the whole time with her but knew he had to eat and sleep. He came back every morning to see her.

For two days, she rested and was comfortable in bed. On Tuesday morning, Grandpa B went to the house where Daddy was staying with everyone and let everyone know that they wouldn’t be going back to the hospital. Daddy called Mommy and Mommy told me that Grandma B died. I was very sad for Daddy.

I loved my Grandma B and I had only known her for 2 years. Grandma B had been there for Daddy through so many things, especially when my brother Ethan died. I felt helpless because I couldn’t be there for Daddy to make him feel better this time. I talked to him on the phone the best I could. I’m very sad that I won’t be able to grow up with Grandma B but I think that she is still here. I think she’s here right now as I’m typing this so she can read as I type it. I think she is helping me with the words.

Every time Daddy cooks, he says that Grandma B is helping him figure out the recipes to make the food really good and he does, too!! I love those ribs!!

Daddy said that I was the light of Grandma B’s life since I was born 2 years ago. 2 years doesn’t seem like that much time for her to see me, but that’s my whole life so far!! Grandpa B came out to see me a couple weeks ago and he was very happy to see me and we spent a lot of time playing together. I hope he comes to see me a lot more. I miss you very much, Grandma B. Daddy misses you alot too. I love you.

Busy busy busy!!!

It's been a very busy couple of months. I've started to stand up on my own and can even walk a little bit with some help. Pretty soon, I'll be walking around on my own and getting into things that I shouldn't. I'm looking forward to that. I already get into anything that catches my interest and attention. Mommy and Daddy are looking for a new place for us to live. We've been to see some houses and apartments. I just hope Daddy finds a place we can afford so I can get some new pretty clothes on a regular basis. It's getting colder and I'm going to need a new coat.
A couple of days ago, we all went out to a pizza place called Fargos. When I got there, I was very upset that I had to wait for my food. I could see people all around me eating and having a good time. I just screamed and cried until the food came. Everyone sitting around me kept staring at me too. Daddy was going to punch everyone and tell them to mind their business. Wasn't like any of them didn't have kids that have screamed and cried at some point. I mean come on...I'm only 17 months old. What do you want from me? After I got to eat, I was very happy though!! Mommy got me a helium balloon and I knocked it around and laughed and laughed. I don't know what helium is but I like it.
I've become quite a picky eater lately. I like to eat whatever Mommy and Daddy are eating most of the time. Last night we had roasted chicken, stuffing and peas. I actually enjoyed the peas. I didn't think I would because I'm not a big vegetable eater. I like my meat and fruit, though.
My hair is growing very long. I'm going to need a haircut soon. Mommy and Grandma put my hair up alot but I pull those things out of my hair and let it hang around. I think when I get older, I'm going to keep it cut short so I don't have to worry about it.
I like it when Daddy gives me a bath on the weekends. He chases me around the tub with my toy shark and he makes noises like from the movie Jaws. I think it's very funny when he does that! I scream and giggle and try to get away but I can't!

My Brother From Another Mother

My Daddy was talking to me about my other brother, John Ethan today. He said he was sad because I would never get to meet him. I was confused because I already met him in Heaven before I came down here to be with Mommy and Daddy. He was very beautiful and had really big bright white wings. I never saw anyone else like him. One day, I'll tell Daddy about him so he's not sad.

Guess What I Did this Weekend!!

If you guessed "pooped in the tub" then that was a very lucky guess. Daddy was giving me a bath on Friday night and I had to let it go. I tried really hard to hold it in but I couldn't. Daddy was ok. He picked me up and sat me in on my towel while he cleaned out my tub for me. Then he sprayed me down and put me back in the tub and washed me again. Two nights later, I threw up in the tub. It was a fun weekend for Mommy and Daddy.

Well....

Father's Day was yesterday. I got my Daddy a nice card, some black earrings, and some alien game scratcher lottery ticket. He didn't win anything. Yesterday, I didn't feel good. I have some teeth coming in and I didn't want to eat anything solid. I was upset because I was hungry though. I ate some baby food and drank alot of milk but I was still fussy most of the day. I only took a nap for an hour so I went to bed early. I woke up at like 5am today when Daddy was getting ready for work. I went back to bed after I got some morning milk.
I'm trying to stand up. Mommy and Daddy hold me up and I move my feet around. They want me to walk because they think it's cute. But I want to walk because I can get into things I shouldn't get into alot faster if I could walk to them and stand up. Daddy moved my matress in my crib down lower in the crib because he was afraid that I might stand up in the middle of the night and tumble over the edge and get hurt. He takes good care of me.
