Hello world!

My best words this week are "tortoise," "lettuce," "sad," and "yoga."  I watched my mama do yoga with a video.  When I want to see it again, I say, "watch lady, man, yoga."  My mama bends over and sticks her leg up.  I kind of do it too.

I like to splash in puddles, but I ask permission first.  My mama says some puddles are just mud, so I don't step in those. 

My favourite jammies are the ones my mama made from my dad's shirts.  I call them jackets and I can do the buttons myself.  I want to wear them every night.  My next favourite are either Buzz Lightyear or Thomas the Tank Engine.  They both have zips and go all the way over my feet.

When I wake up in the morning I still sometimes remember to pee in the potty, but sometimes not.  Then I get into bed with my mama.  I really like to lay my head on her arm and snuggle up so she can put her other arm around me.  It's so comfy.  Then when I'm ready to get up, I tell her, "mummy wake!  mummy glasses!  all done mummy sleep!"

Love,

Hello world!

My best words this week are "vacuum," "green," "mushroom," "pasta," and "scooter."  I told my mama that "milkies is juicy."  I also told my mama, "bang head football" but she didn't know what I meant.  She said, show me.  So I hit my head with my hand then picked up the football. 

Last week I found out my foreskin retracts.  I ran in to show my mama, saying, "look, look!  funny!"  We both thought it was funny. 

My dad makes me plasticine race cars.  My mama makes sheep.  I can sort of make snakes.  I also like tiny plasticine shoes and phones.  I took some plasticine and broke it into little bits and stuck them on the wall.  It looks beautiful.  My mama thinks so too;  she said it looks like spitballs.

Hello world!

This week my best words are "butterfly," "dragonfly," "bubbles," "see," "needle," and "juicy."  When we were walking on the street, I told my mama, "see more bus.  See more double decker."  I really like buses, especially double deckers.  I also told her later, "watch Pooh bear."  My dad watched Pooh and Tigger with me two weeks ago and I want to watch them again.

I really like singing, and I make up my own songs, but I also like to hear my favourite songs.  I sometimes tell my mama, "sing Arthur song" or "sing Sheep song."  The Sheep song is Shaun the Sheep.  I like him a lot. 

On our walk, I hold my mama's hand when we cross the street.  But after we cross, I ask, "run?" and if my mama says yes, I run off yelling things like, "oh-we-oh-we-oh!"  and "ruh-ruh-ruh!"  Then I stop and wait for my mama at the street.  There's some places where I can walk on top of a wall, or poke my fingers into knot holes in fences, or squeeze behind posts.  I know all the best places. 

Love,

Hello world!

My best words this week are "cream," "bunny," "lady," "shave," and "light."  When I jump off my car I say, "ready....GO!"  Usually when I talk about myself, I say Franklin, like "Franklin's chair" but today I told my mama, "hot.  Me hot."

I really like to eat berries.  I like strawberries, raspberries, blackberries.  I call them all cherries.  I told my mama I wanted "juicy cherries.  Black."  That means blackberries.  I like them even if they're sour.  I say, "more sour, please!"

I'm good at getting dressed by myself.  I can put my undies on, then my shorts.  I can sort of put my shirt on, if someone helps me.  I don't need help for shoes, though.  I have shoes with monkeys on them.  They're monkey shoes.  Then when it's time to get undressed, I say, "take 'em off" and I can take them all off, even shirt.

I have a Tigger toy.  He's just little, and I like to hold him.  I tuck him under my arm and say, "hug Tigger." Sometimes I kiss him too.  Then I like to put him back on the shelf.

Love,

Hello world!

My best words this week are "crocodile," "elephant," "phone," "nice," and "computer."  Our dog got lost again and I said to my mama, "find dog."  My mama said, where is she?  I said, "don't know" and I shrugged my shoulders.

My mama found raspberries on our walk.  I love to pick them and eat them.  Then I got stung by a nettle and my mama showed me a leaf to make it feel better.  I rubbed it on the sting.  I rubbed it on my mama's sting too. 

I still like to get up from bed at bedtime, but only for a little while now.  I really like to get up and see my dad before he goes to work, though.  My dad was home one morning and I was so happy I got to get in bed with him and my mama and get a big snuggle and back rub.  I told him, "hug!  back!"  He put his arm around me and then rubbed my back. 

Love,

Franklin
