Hello world!

My best words this week are "olive," "truck," "star," and "jacket."

I set the table at dinner time.  I put forks and knives and spoons on the table for everyone.  I also like to clear the table;  I can reach the sink so I can put my own fork and plate in it.  I sometimes find my dad's mug and put that in the sink.  It goes crash!

A couple of times I woke up in the morning and shouted that I needed to pee, and my mama got me up so I didn't even wet my bed.  This morning I climbed to the top rail of my bed and my mama caught me before I rolled off.  It was really fun to climb up there. 

I have a book from the library about "twinkle twinkle."  My mama and dad started singing the song so I ran and got the book out of the library bag.

Love,

Franklin

Hello world!

My best words this week are "tree," "clock," "black," and "pocket."

This week it's rained a lot and I get to play inside. I played with the salt shaker and shook out all the salt and drew pretty patterns in it. Then I played in my dad's guitar bag and knotted up all the cables together. I also played in the kitchen cupboards and took all the lids off the sauces. It's a lot of fun to play indoors!

I tried on a new pair of jammies and I took them off so I was nakey. Then I told my mama I needed to pee; she told me to get the potty so I went into the bathroom and sat down on it. I sat down all by myself and did a poo. I didn't need any help--except to wipe. I also almost always remember to hold it when I wake up from my nap. Most days I wear the same undies all day without getting wet.

I really like giving kisses and hugs to my mama and daddy. I kiss and hug my toys too.

I got a chocolate gorilla. I get to eat a piece every day. I also have a stuffed gorilla named Ernie. I pretended Ernie was made of chocolate and I pretended to eat a piece of him. No one showed me how; I made it up by myself.

Love,

Hello world!

My best words this week are "worm," "honey," "bin," and "fork." I also say my own name really well: "FFFFFFFangin."

My dad made dinner one night and he did the best carrots ever. I ate all mine, most of my dad's and even some of my mama's. I liked the carrots even better than the potatoes and meat. Usually I like the meat the best, then the potatoes, and then the carrots last.

I'm not supposed to eat snacks before dinner because then I'm picky. When I don't have snacks first, I eat everything on my plate. Sometimes I ask my mama for a cracker but she says I have to wait till after I eat dinner. Before I eat, I get to have my cool bib on. I have one called Rainbow and one called Smiley. I like Smiley best but Rainbow's really good too.

I went to the garden centre and there was a steam museum too. I saw lots of machines going back and forth and round and round, saying "pffff." I like machines, especially noisy machines. I also like garden centres because there's lots of things to see and places to walk around. I even saw some big fish swimming there.

I love to help my mama garden. I especially like the digging. I need my own shovel so I can dig too. Otherwise I use my mama's when she puts it down; it's taller than me but that doesn't stop me!

Love,

Franklin

Hello world!

My best words this week are "broom," "balloon," and "blocks." I like to play with all of them.

I went to the library for story time with my mama and I made an Easter card too. I glued lots of paper together; it looks great. I even drew a message on the inside. After story time and glueing time, we did singing time. We sang "The Grand Old Duke of York" and marched all around the library.

I know even more animal noises now. I know all kinds of farm animals, but I sometimes mix up "neigh" and "baa." Our neighbour has a car with a lion on it but I think it looks like a dog. I always tell my mama "woof woof!" when I see it. She says it's a lion so then I say "rawr!"

I sat on the potty and had to pee so bad it just shot over the top onto the floor! Luckily I know what to do; I got a cloth and wiped it up. I put the cloth back but then my mama said to put it in the basket, so I did. Sometimes I need my mama to help me aim so that doesn't happen, but I had to pee so bad I couldn't wait to aim.

Love,

Franklin
