Preschool musical program- Henry.

Today mama and papa came to my school for our spring program.

The three and four year old were great, but my two year old class was a little nervous.

After a couple songs, I warmed up and did a few hand motions.

Here's our singing in action. Deciding to follow Jesus has never sounded so good. Mama laughed at the six kids in the front. My school buddies have certainly mastered the blank stare and fingers in their belly buttons.

We've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in our hearts. If you looks closely, you can see my lips are moving. At the end of the video, you can see Maggie dance a little.

These messy hands came from the blueberries on my English muffin.

Mama got Juner a new dress this weekend. It's cute even if it's covered in drool and snot.

A nuk and a piece of celery? Life doesn't get better. At school, someone asked me if Juner was my little sister. I responded "This is Juner. She's my gugger."

On a sleep note, things are slowly getting better. Papa didn't put me down for naps while mama was gone, so I was pretty beat today. Mama put me down for a nap and I didn't get up at all. Tonight, I didn't come downstairs, but mama did hear a pitter patter of feet upstairs. When she came upstairs to check on me, my down was open and I was sitting up in bed. She said "Thanks for staying in bed and keeping quiet, buster." I responded "I didn't stay in bed tonight. I was in your room looking out the windows." At least I didn't go downstairs.

I declared today a "car parking day" and mama tried to get a video of how I talk non-stop even when there's no one to listen. I didn't fall for it, but I did give her an encore performance of my school songs.

Mama's birthday party- Juner.

Yesterday, we drove home from DC so we could celebrate Mama's birthday with the whole family. My birthday gift to mama was sitting quietly for the whole 6 hour drive home. We only had to stop once. It was especially remarkable because I only slept for the last 20 minutes of the ride. My secret? Mama let me watch Curious George and munch on celery sticks. Too bad she didn't take a picture.

When we got home, papa surprised mama with a clean house, an ice cream cake, and a night of Rock Band with our friends Mister Paul and Miss Susan.

Don't worry, mama was just joking about going to bed before the ice cream. (Did you notice mama's other birthday present on the counter? She says she's only drinking cheap beer in cans for the rest of the summer.)

Wait a minute! This part is getting out of hand!

Later, Henry got me all wound up by tickling me. We sure were glad to see each other. While we were gone, Henry always asked mama if he could talk to me on the phone. And he's been very nice and patient with me lately. Today he had his train out and set up a special train track for me and gave me a few trains of my own. This worked out well until I decided I wanted all of the trains he had too. I still have a lot to learn about sharing.
