Hello world!

My best words this week are "knee," "raining," "kitty," and "carrot."  I'm really good at counting two and three.  When I see two things, I say so, like "two bus!"  Three things, too.

My mama took me and our doggy on a walk, but then it started raining.  We ran over to some trees:  cherry trees!  I ate tons of cherries in the rain.  I eat the whole thing and just swallow the seed.  I just spit out the stem.

I washed the dishes while my mama made dinner.  I stood on my chair next to the sink and got the cloth and wiped them all really well.  My mama wouldn't let me wash the knife, though.  Then when I finished, we got a big towel and wiped the floor.

I'm better at staying in my room at night now.  I used to get up lots, but now I just get up once or twice, usually.  Sometimes my mama puts a gate in front of my door so I can't get out, but I don't mind much.  I also hardly ever wet my bed.  Wet bed is yucky. 

I helped my mama pull up carrots from the vegetable bed.  We washed them off and then I ate three.  They're really yummy.  I also helped plant more seeds.  We used a big fork and a big sieve.  I got to put them both away in the garage.

I really like to run around and kick a ball.  I tell my dad "football!" and we play together.  We kick it to each other and score goals.  My football is kind of flat, but it's really fun to kick and chase anyway.

At the library, I looked at books.  Then I saw a man go into the bathroom.  I said, "wee-wee!"  When he came out I said, "all done wee-wee!  Man wee-wee!"

Love,

Hello world!

My best words this week are "in," "shut," "hug," and "back."  When I dropped my penny and couldn't find it, I said, "Where money go?"  When I see something I don't know or don't remember, I ask my mama to say the word.  Then I say it. 

I have a chair my size;  I use it like a stepladder.  If I need to reach something in the kitchen, I bring my chair in and stand on it.  Then I can reach the counters.  I can reach all sorts of things.  Nobody showed me;  I worked it out myself.

I lifted up the chicken fence so the chickens could get out.  I told my mama, "bok-bok out" and she picked them up and put them in.  It was so funny I did it again.   Now there's a brick in the way and I can't lift it up.

I also worked out how to draw on the walls all by myself.  I made a big drawing and I want to draw more.  My mama says I'm not allowed, but I think I might anyway.

Love,

Hello world!

My best words this week are "hand," "stuck," "chair," "wash," and "sit."  Sit sounds like seat but they mean the same thing.  I said to my mama, "mama sit daddy seat."  I meant she should sit in her chair, not dad's chair.  I also tell the doggy to sit.  I think she doesn't hear me very well, though.

Today I helped my mama pull weeds in the front.  She moved the gate on the driveway, then I moved it some more.  I even closed it;  I never knew it could close!  I got to play on the pavement outside and scuff up the gravel next door.  I also got to play with the trailer at our neighbour's house.  I think I want to play out front all the time.

I also got to play with our chickens for a whole hour today.  I asked my mama, "Bok-bok in, please."  So she let me go in their fence.  Then she dug weeds while I got to follow the chickens and talk to them.  I love our chickens.

I'm really good at saying "please" and "thank you."  I almost always say please when I ask for something, like "up, please" or "more, please."  Then when I give something to someone I say, "thank you."

Once my dad dropped something and yelled a word.  I yelled it too.  I liked it so much I yelled it all the time.  Sometimes I still yell it:  "bugga bugga bugga!"

Hello world!

My best words this week are "wheel," "ketchup," "outside," and "kiss." 

When it's bedtime I still like to get out of bed, open the door, and find my parents.  I can do it for a whole hour.  Maybe I'll never stop next time;  it's so much fun.  Sometimes I do it at naptime too.

I love smoothies.  I eat them with a spoon and then drink them.  They're the best.  I also like ham, raisins, bananas, carrots, and cheese;  and every day I want to eat crackers.  I just love crackers.

I went with my mama and we got our tire changed at the garage.  There was a mechanic with a loud drill that took it off and put on a new one.  I really liked it a lot;  now, I fix the tire on my cars too.  I fix it on my big car that I drive, and on my little cars inside.  Today I saw a man changing his tire and I said, "Wheel!  Fix it!"  and I pointed and made a circle with my finger. 

Love,

Hello world!

My best words this week are "bucket," "dump truck," "horse," and "sheep."  I really like to watch Arthur on my dad's computer.  I call him "Saucer." 

Okay means yes.  When my mama asks do you want a cracker, I say okay.  When she asks do you have a cracker in your pocket, I say okay.  When we're ready to go, she says okay and I say Ooooh Kaaay!  It's a great word;  I say it all the time.

When I get too tired to walk, I ask my mama for a ride.  She tells me to hang on, monkey.  So I make monkey noises and hang on.  I ride on her back and it's fun.  But if something exciting happens, I wriggle down so I can be part of it.

When Izanah went away, I told my mama, "Bye bye Nana.  All gone Nana.  Nana go home."  I asked my mama where she went:  "Nana is?"  I wanted her to stay with us forever. 

Love,

Franklin
