Happy 29th birthday, Aunt Kristan!
Noise coming from the bathroom next to my bed woke me up at 4:45am!  My first cousins twice removed, twins Julie and Amy, spent the night in our spare bedroom and they had an early flight back to Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Barbara and I hurried to get dressed so we could drive them to the airport.  I was quiet on the drive but I was awake and listening and would answer when they said something to me.  Of course, I did fall asleep on the drive home...

...and I continued sleeping on the sofa... 

...until 8:45am when I woke up.  The pillows are on the floor in case I roll off the sofa.  The first words out of my mouth were, "Where are Julie and Amy?"  I'll be talking about Julie and Amy for the next several days.

When I get angry and throw a toy it gets put on the pool table until the next day.  I got Captain Hook back this morning. 

 I am growing up fast.  I know how to clean my body.... make a lather...

 ...rub it on my body....

 ... rinse....   After my hair has been wash, I know how to hold a wash cloth over my eyes while my hair is being rinsed.  

I stack my my toys when my bath is over.  And I know not to stand up until someone is ready to lift me out of the tub.

"Why do I have to put on clothes?"

"Let's play first; then get dressed."

 I often stop playing to read a book.

"Let's count these balls.  I bet there are a hundred."

 I decided I wanted to play Santa Claus.  I needed a coat and boots.  Pants were not necessary.

 Barbara was the child and I brought her lots of gifts.  I almost emptied the toy shelves in my room.

Here are the gifts I (Santa Claus) gave to her.

 I played with Marble Works.

 I did some climbing.

I played with trucks....

..coming up with all kinds of stories about what these trucks were doing.
For over three hours I wore that hooded jacket.  I fell asleep with it on.  Barbara took the jacket and boots off of me while I slept. 

The neighbor man across the street was mowing, edging, and blowing, so that occupied me for the an hour. 
We found a song on On-demand sung by Trace Atkins.  I call it Old Daddy and I want to listen and watch it over and over.  Really it is called Your Gonna Miss This.

 Mommy and Grandma attended a scrapbooking weekend in Austin.   Mommy entered a contest for a "bling container."  This is a picture of her entry.

Mommy won first place.
