Hello world!

My best new words are "ball" and "apple." I also like to say "banana" and "fish." I have a book with all those things in it.

I know how to jump on the bed. I jump after my bath. It's so funny; I laugh and laugh.

I love to play outside! I got to play outside lots this week with just my jacket on. I chase the dog, throw things, sit in my car, run around, climb on things, follow my mama everywhere; it's SO much fun! I helped my mama plant seeds. First we put the seeds in the dirt, and then we poked them down with fingers. Then we watered them. I liked the poking part the best. I brush my hands off afterwards.

I try to hold it when I wake up in bed and need to pee. It's hard though, especially if no one hears me right away. But I don't like wet jammies, so I try my best. My dad says I can have a real bed soon, if I promise not to go downstairs in the middle of the night; that way I can get out of bed and wake someone up to help me.

I don't go downstairs by myself. I always hold someone's hand.

Love,

Franklin

Hello world!

I still have snot but my eyes are better. My mama gives me a hankie and I wipe my own nose. Sometimes I ask her for the hankie.

In the bathroom, if you open the bottom drawer then open the top drawer, you can step on the bottom and reach into the top. I get out all the toothbrushes and give them to who they belong to. I love to brush teeth. I get out all the toothpaste too. I even take off the lids myself.

My best toy to play with is legos. I love building stuff. My dad builds with me. I stack up all the green blocks together, and all the orange blocks together. It's so cool.

I woke up twice this week in the middle of the night because of poo. I woke up and had to sit on the potty and poo. No way I was going to poo in my jammies!

I know how to use an inhaler. Shake it up, take off the lid, then blow on it.

Love,

Franklin

Hello world!

I still cough and have snot. My eyes itch. It's yucky. My dad stayed at home instead of work because of his cough. And then my mama stayed in bed instead of getting up to play with me because of her cough.

It snowed at our house. It's fun to make footprints on. I got to wear my boots and tramp all over my snow. I don't eat it, though.

My mama throws out crumbs from our bread board onto the patio for birds. She throws out old bread crusts I don't eat too. I love watching birds. I say, "bird yum yum." That means the bird eats. If the birds don't come down fast enough, our dog eats the crusts. Then I say, "dog yum yum."

Love,

Franklin

Hello world!

I feel yucky. I have snot and I can't sleep very much. Last night I woke up twice so my mama and dad let me sleep in their bed. I liked that a lot. I got to wriggle and poke and kick. When my dad got up for work I told him bye-bye, then I went back to sleep.

I help my mama garden. She cuts off sticks and I carry them to the pile. Also I pick up rubbish to put in the bin. And I show her where dog poo is so she can throw it away. I say "yuck."

I remember to tidy up my things. When I get out a new book, I put the old book away. Mostly my mama doesn't even have to remind me. At night before bath, it's best to tidy up all the toys. Both my mama and dad help too.

When I get dressed in the morning, my mama asks me where my shoes are. I look for them. When I find them, I say "Here is!" and then run to my mama so we can put them on.

Love,

Franklin
