Hello world!

My best words this week are "oh dear," "magazine," "string," and "stripey." 

I woke up twice this week and needed the potty.  I took off my jammies all by myself and used it.  Then I woke my mama up and told her, "bum wipe!"  She was really happy to wake up and wipe my bum. 

I have a neighbour named Eileen.  I like to visit her and play with her toys.  When we walk by her house, I ask my mama if we can see her.  One time we picked plums for her on our walk, and I like to remind my mama when we walk past the tree.  I also have a neighbour named Zak.  He goes to school but I got to watch him play a computer game when my mama talked to his mama.  I tell my mama about Zak's car.  I say, "Zak's mummy drive car.  Zak's car gone."

I'm so good at tidying up now.  I put away my toys before I get out my books.  Then I put away books before I get out toys.  I lined up my little bears on the piano.  I pushed them on the floor;  my mama said, where do bears go?  I said, "bears sleeping on floor."  I also know where to draw now.  Not on the walls or the floor or the chair or the piano.  I draw on paper!

Sometimes I like to ask my mama and daddy one thing lots of times.  I say it over and over again.  If I ask enough times they might say yes, I think.  My dad does sometimes. 

Love,

Franklin

Hello world!

My best words this week are "sawing," "mowing," "slipped," and "peanut butter."  I sometimes say my name "Fwankwin" now.  I used to just say "Fankin."

I have a cough and snot this week.  It's really yucky.  My mama gave me a hankie to put in my pocket so I can wipe my own nose.  I'm really good at wiping my nose and putting the hankie back in my pocket.   I woke up a lot in the night this week because of my cough and snot.  One night I got to go in bed with my mama and daddy for a little bit and snuggle.  It was really nice, and then I wriggled around a lot.

I love to pull up carrots from the garden.  My mama makes me a little bowl of water and I wash them, then eat them.  I also like picking peas and beans to eat.  It's more fun to eat them from the garden than with dinner.

My mama made me a hat but I want to wear my dad's hat instead.  It looks like my hat, but it's big and blue.  When I put it on, I pat my head, just like my dad.

Love,

Franklin

Hello world!

My best words this week are "hello," "later," "chard," and "harmonica."  I play the harmonica;  I say "amonca."  Sometimes I have a hard time saying Hs.

On Saturday my dad doesn't go to work so I get to play all day with him.  My mama goes to work instead.  I tell her bye bye, give her a kiss, and wave out the window when she goes.  When my dad goes to work he's gone before I wake up in the morning.

This week my dad didn't go to work and I got to play so much with him!  We even went on a train with my mama.  I sat in the seat like a grown up, and only wriggled a little bit.  I call trains "Thomas;"  I love trains. 

I fell off my little chair when I was climbing.  I got upset, and then later I told my dad, "ouchie.  Pink cream."  Whenever I get ouchie, I need cream on it.  I need it so often, I get to keep the tube of cream in my room.  It's pink.

I found a piece of string on the floor and I flossed my teeth with it.  I like flossing.  I want to help my mama floss sometimes.

Love,

Hello world!

This week my best words are "flannel," "try," "silly," and "naughty."  I say words my own way:  I have a hard time with Ls, Rs, Vs, and words with lots of sounds together like Sp, St, and things like that.  Instead of light and yellow, I say "yight" and "yewwow;" instead of drink I say "dwink;" I say "seben," not seven, and I say "soon" and "sicker" instead of spoon and sticker.  I say "So duck" to my mama but she doesn't know what I mean.

I got up one morning and into bed with my mama when she was asleep.  Then I was awake so I got back out of bed and looked for something to play with.  I found some vaseline I used to have for my rash.  I rubbed it all over myself;  it felt great!  When my mama woke up, I showed her where the vaseline was:  on the bed, the floor, the toothpaste, and of course, all over me and my jammies.  I got a towel and we wiped it up. 

At dinner time I set the table myself.  I also put my plate in the sink when I'm done.  I like to be helpful.  When my mama cooks dinner I read books or play with blocks in the living room.  Sometimes I bring my book into the kitchen and read out loud to my mama.  I also like to stand on a chair next to her and chop things with my knife.  And I really like to taste sauce my mama makes off a little spoon.  When she uses the mixer, I ask, "Franklin nick it?"  That means I want to lick it.  I love to lick the mixer when it's done.

My favourite  shirt is my motorbike shirt.  I call it "motomike."

Love,

Franklin
