Am I Old Enough to Hate Winter?

The only reason I ask is because I'm sick and I don't like it at all. Momma's sick too and she sounds really funny when she talks. I got sent home from school yesterday and daddy took me to the doctor. She looked in my ears and said I have an infection, what ever that means. All I know is that now I have to drink this yucky pink stuff that mom and dad try to put down my throat, but I do a pretty good job of spitting most of it back out.

The good news is that I got to stay home and play with dad yesterday and with mom today. We had lots of fun together. Man it sure does feel good to lay in their arms and take a nap. I'm feeling a lot better now and should be back at school tomorrow.

I've been a busy girl

Wow, a lot has happened around here since I posted here last.

My mom had surgery on her shoulder on the 20th. She is doing fine, but it has been a little hard for her to pick me up and play like we usually do. Lucky for her, I am really learning to do a lot on my own. Aunt Candy came to visit to help out mom while she gets better. The night she got here, I had to show off a bit and take my first steps all by myself. Everyone was so excited, I fell over!

Aunt Candy and I had so much fun together. We baked cookies and took walks all over the house. I even learned how to say "kitty cat".

For Thanksgiving, we went to mom's home town. We had Thanksgiving dinner at my Aunt Janel's house with my Cousins Hannah and Jacob and my Grandpa Mike and Grandma Helen. I got to eat turkey and stuffing and sweet potatoes and rolls and pumpkin pie and apple pie. Momma says she thinks I had a tummy ache the next day, but it sure was yummy.

On Friday we went shopping to buy some new Mizzou gear for mom and dad to wear to the football game. While we were there I got to meet SANTA CLAUS for the very first time. I sat on his lap and checked out his really cool beard and told him what I want for Christmas.

On Saturday mom and dad went to the MU vs KU game. IT was too cold for me to go with them, but my Aunt Janel let me watch it on the tv and cheer M-I-Z-Z-O-U!!!

Saturday night was the coolest night of them all. My cousin Hannah wrote, directed and starred in her very first play, "A Night With the King". She played the lead role of Princess Claire and my daddy played the King. I had a supporting role as Princess Clover, Princess Claire's little sister. I'm not sure, but I think Hannah has a real future in showbiz!

Well I should probably get to bed, momma has a bottle waiting.
