Cows are funny
Hi everyone!
It’s been a couple of weeks since I wrote about myself - that’s because my mommy (who helps me type) was busy with my daddy’s birthday celebrations (the week of April 14), and then I decided to get the stomach flu last week and basically feel icky for about 5 days! I don’t know what stomach flu means, but I do know that I couldn’t eat anything, and it was hard to keep more than a couple of tablespoons of juice in me for quite a while! I was sleepy/cranky/fussy/uncomfortable, and mommy did SIX loads of laundry one day (all thanks to me!).
But now I feel much better, and ready to report on my daily doings again. There’s been a lot of loud banging on our roof the last week (it coincided with my being really sick, my mommy wants to point out - I dunno something about the ironic timing of having to stay inside all day while it sounded like a football team holding practice on our roof?), and it’s because all the condos in our complex are getting new roofs! I like looking at the trucks when we go outside to go our car - anything with wheels is very cool, y’know!
Speaking of wheels, I have shown my mommy (much to her surprise, apparently) that I know which car is ours, and when we are out at the park etc, and I want to get in the car, I walk over and point at it. If that message doesn’t get across sufficiently, then I try to open the door handles. I’m getting pretty good at door handles, mostly because I’m getting pretty tall! I can reach up and put my juice cup up on the kitchen counter, and I can reach the door knobs in our house and am trying really hard to get enough leverage to turn them! Freedom, you will soon be mine! I still like helping empty the dishwasher, and also am helping put things in boxes when I’m done with them. I try to be organized!
Today I went to playgroup, and we played with a big parachute during circle time. Now, faithful readers will remember that in weeks past, I have not always been a fan of circle time, but I am getting more patient and learning to enjoy it. One thing that I really could not have cared less about in the past was the beginning exercise, when the teacher holds out these bells for us to shake, and all the kids run over and grab one and then we shake them while we sing a song. Then an elephant named “Willaby Wallaby” comes and takes it from each of the kids while we sing their name. Well, today not only did I run over and grab TWO bells, but I also shook it with gusto, and then let Willaby Wallaby take it back (with a little coercion from mom to let go of it). We also played with a parachute today, which in the past has quite frankly just freaked me out! But today I tried to grab and shake it with mommy, and then when all the parents lifted it up so we could run underneath it, I ran right to the middle and smiled really wide! The mommies and teacher all said “Yay, Decker!”, and then I got shy and ran back to my mom. But it was fun to try something new!
Oh! And what’s the point of the title of this blog? Well, I have become addicted to videos/books about farm animals lately, and I think cows and roosters are really funny! What can I say? They have great senses of humor!
