A Letter From Vivian, 4th Edition: More About Me

Dear Readers of Mommy's Blog,

Hello! It's me again - Vivian! I know you've missed me.   And for any new readers or followers to mommy's blog, welcome to the best part about my mom - ME!  :) 

Once again, it has been far too long since we last talked.  Almost three months!!!  I need to write more blog posts since you've all secretly told me that you think I'm a better writer than my mommy anyway.



In case you've forgotten to read my last three letters, here they are:
my 3rd Letter,
my 2nd Letter
and my 1st Letter!


Go ahead and read them now. It will make more sense that way.  Are you clicking on these links yet?  Don't skip it.  You'll regret it!


There are so many things to discuss since my last letter. We moved into our new home in "Flaw-wah-dah." I have a huge room now, filled with lots of toys.  It's very cool.  Although, I don't like to play IN my room a whole lot.  No, ya see, it's much more fun to drag out all my things into the living room, kitchen and bathroom.  I love mommy's look of surprise when she discovers one of my toys under her foot when she's walking around or finds one under her butt as she sits down on the couch.  Her face is priceless! 




We have a backyard now with flowers and plants in it.  I love to water the plants.  Mommy says I "drown" them, whatever that means.  We look for birds and airplanes flying overhead each time we go outside.  And we're never disappointed.  There is always something flying over us.




I play with other kids sometimes so that mommy can see other adults.  Sometimes I go along with this.  Other times, I kick and scream and argue because.....well, I can and just feel like it.  And sometimes I just want my mommy and her attention all to myself.  But I heard mommy tell my Mia that she is putting me in a "Mu-ther's Daay Out" program soon.  If that is where the mommies go away and us toddlers can stay home all by ourselves.....then, cool!  Sign me up!   


Mommy says I am getting even more hair these days.   So, that's what that is growing on the back of my neck!  I thought maybe mommy waited too long to bathe me!



I had a lot of visitors over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.  All of my grandparents came to see me.  Boy, was that fun!  I made them all laugh and laugh.  I think I made them cry too when I cried.  It's so fun being the center of attention ALL the time.


Our pets are still crazy and nutty.  Mommy calls them "ner-rot-ic" every day.  She was laughing at our dog Bono who surprised daddy with a poop pancake last week though!  I didn't see what the big deal was, I poop all the time.  Why should our dog be any different?  



I've been testing my limits lately.  Or that is what mommy and daddy call it.  My mom says I am "deff-eye-ant" just because I can be and want to be and that is why I go in "time-out" a lot.   I've even gotten a few spankin's on my hiney.  I just stay quiet for a minute or two in my crib and then mommy or daddy comes to get me.  Then we just forget the whole thing happened.  It's kind of fun really, like a little game we play.




Mommy is doing great.  I heard her tell daddy that she's lost eight pounds since November.  I can tell.  She can run faster after me and even catch me.  Also she lifts me up more because I think her arms are a bit stronger.  I love mommy no matter what size she is though.  I like some cushion when she hugs me anyway.




Daddy seems to be doing okay, other than that car accident he was in on New Year's Eve.  Some lady named Miss Daisy hit him and shouldn't be on the roads, daddy says.  He also got bitten by a spider at work that caused an infection.  My dad has had a rough start to the new year!  I sure hope he feels better soon.  I love him lots, even though I don't hug him as often as I should.  I know mommy wants him to get well soon too since I heard her say she's "tired of him using the excuse that he has brain damage" in order to get out of taking out the trash and other chores.




My three favorite things lately are to count numbers, jump, and to play with ketchup when I eat.  I can count from one to thirteen.  Mommy tells people that I can count to twenty but after thirteen, I just say "aww-teen" for every number until I hear her say we've reached twenty.  Yay!  I got mommy sooo fooled!   I love to jump randomly too.  I'll just start jumping around the house for no reason, other than it being fun of course!  Oh, and whenever mommy feeds me foods like fish sticks, chicken nuggets or hot dogs, she gives me ketchup, I love to dip my fork in it.  I also love smearing it all over the table, on my clothes and anywhere within my reach.  Ketchup is awesome!




Oh well, I better go. Mommy is about to make me breakfast. I hope it will be something that will make me have a good poop today.  Then I can show our dog Bono who is the queen of poop in the house!~




Anyway, I hope you readers are fabulous. I'll close my letter now and leave you with some beautiful pictures. What are the beautiful photos of? ME! Of course!




See you again soon!


Love,
Vivian
