Mom and I went grocery shopping this morning and ended up having a late lunch, and then I didn't want to nap after that. My favorite book lately has been "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed." I can say it pretty well and when mom says "the mama called the doctor and the doctor said...," I fill in the rest, wag my finger back and forth, and say "NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING ON THE BED!" Well, on our way home from the grocery store, I picked up one of my books that was in the car - it was a book called "Ten Little Ladybugs." Instead of counting the ladybugs like I usually do, I shouted "NO MORE LADYBUGS JUMPING ON THE BED!" Mom got a pretty good laugh out of that one. Mom also discovered that I learned Baa Baa Black Sheep and can sing nearly the entire song :) I learn so much at school!
Speaking of which...I'm starting at a new school a week from Monday! I really liked it when we went to visit and will be moving in to the 2 year old room there. There are two 2 year old rooms there and in my room, there's a hamster and some fish! In the other room there is a bunny named Snickers. This school seems very good in terms of dealing with food allergies, so I'm hoping that will make it easier for mom and me (right now she is sending 100% of my food to school, so that's breakfast, 2 snacks and lunch every day). They have photos in the kitchen and in each classroom of every kid who has food restrictions and the teachers and chef all seemed to know how to deal with it. The new school is actually about half way to work for mommy (we're on the waiting list at the location close to us, but can't get in there until I'm 3!!!). Mom's also excited that she will be able to use my cloth diapers at the new daycare, so hopefully we don't have to buy any more disposable diapers!!!
I haven't been napping well this week and today was no exception. I ended up "talking" to myself for almost an hour (which I usually do, but at some point fall asleep). Mom left me alone thinking I was signing to myself in my bed. Little did she know that I quietly climbed out of my bed, opened my drawer, got out all of my socks and diapers, pulled out my toy bins, got all of the toys out, put all of my books in my bed, and then hid behind my curtains. Whew - that was exhausting and you'd think I'd have to take a nap after all of that, but nope! At some point, mom and dad decided to just get me up and let me nap in the car on the way to Jay and Molly's.
All of my socks and diaper inserts in a nice big pile. When mom walked in the room, I was tossing them up in the air like they were confetti. I thought she was going to be mad, but she just laughed, got dad and came back with the camera :) The yellow blankie was mom's when she was a baby - isn't it nice that she's willing to share it with me? It's my favorite and I always ask her to cover me up with it.
I usually take a lot of my toys to bed with me, but there's not usually THIS much stuff in there!
After we abandoned my nap, we got in the car and headed to Virginia to meet Baby Jake! I slept for about 20 minutes on the way there, then woke up and screamed the rest of the way. Mom is surprised I was as good as I was given the lack of nap. I'll share some photos of Baby Jake once daddy puts them up. I liked him a lot, but I really enjoyed playing with Kona Bean and Holly (a mini dachsund who was SO well behaved and gentle). Jake was really good the whole time we were there. He did go through 3 diapers in a matter of minutes and I laughed about that. I still do that to mom sometimes :) I can't wait to teach him things as he grows up - I promised mom I'd teach him how to say "I like that party hat" from Go Dog Go.
Daddy put up some photos from the 4th at Mt. Vernon and from the fireworks. Here are a few. The rest are on the smugmug site (link on the right).
With that, have a good evening everyone!

Hmmmm...sounds like someone else I know who is about the same age. Caleb never really went through the terrible twos but I think Emma is starting them early too! It's exhausting.
