Time Out?

All I was doing was playing with my truck.
But a few minutes later mommy and daddy were using loud voices at me and saying "You hurt sister."

Of course I had to cry.
And cry.
And cry.

I had just been playing with my big truck and then I thought it would be fun to pretend it was a ball. So I threw it for sister to catch.
But she didn't catch it. It hit her in the head.

And then mommy and daddy started the loud voices and mommy made the truck go bye-bye.

I decided not to stop crying so that mommy and daddy could know how much I don't like the loud voices.
Then mommy said "Time Out" and put me in my bed!

I didn't ask for nigh nigh!
And it wasn't nigh nigh time.
I cried for a while longer... then I decided to play.

But after I played with some things mommy then came and got me.
I don't understand.
When I was crying a lot mommy would not cuddle me.
But when I decided to play by myself she came and got me.
Very strange.

I wonder how far I can throw my truck next time... it is heavier than a ball....

Big Boys Don't Cuddle!!!

I don't know why mommy won't understand.
I am a big boy and I don't want to be held by mommy unless I ASK!!

Sometimes I do want mommy cuddles.
If I am tired and don't want to go nigh nigh. Or if my tummy or teeth hurt. Or if I am watching my lala videos.
Or if I fall down and go boom.
Those are good for mommy cuddles.
But sometimes mommy just picks me up for no reason and wants to hold me and hug me!
What does she think I am??? A baby!?

Just because I still like my binky and have decided to carry Bestest Friend around all day does NOT mean I am a baby!
I am just making sure I know where they are!
So there.

Trying New Things

I have decided to try some new things recently.
My day was getting boring. Same toys, same clothes, same games with brother and sister, same foods.
I can tell mommy is also getting bored with what I do, so I thought she would be happy with new things too.
So, yesterday I decided it might be nice not to wear a diaper anymore.
Daddy had changed me but didn't put my shorts back on, so I was able to get to the pull thingies on my diaper. When he wasn't looking I took it off.
It was great!
I ran all around and nobody knew my secret because my t-shirt was long.
Then mommy picked me up to hold me and I leaned back to cry about it. Ooops.
Daddy then said "He isn't wearing a diaper at all!"
Oh no.
Oh well, I tried.

Today I tried something new too.
I keep asking for extra food at meals, and then I see how far I can throw pieces.
I can get them pretty far.
I also made my chicken sticks dance for mommy.
She thought it was funny.
I think tomorrow I will make my diced apples dance too.

NO NO NIGH NIGH!!!!

I was all ready for nigh nigh.
I had binky, Bestest Friend, and my Elmo CD was playing la la music.
THEN SOMETHING REALLY SCARY HAPPENED!!!
Suddenly, there was a bump and something was in my bed with me!
I looked at saw it was kitty kat.
Normally I like kitty kat... but not in my BED!!!
I jumped up and started crying and yelling for mommy or daddy!!!
After a minute mommy came in and asked what happened and then she saw kitty kat and said "Oh my!" and took kitty kat out of my bed.
Mommy says that it would have been ok, that kitty kat probably would have just curled up and gone to nigh nigh next to me... but I don't care! My bed is mine! Not kitty kats!

Well, I have to go now.
Even though mommy put me back to bed and turned my lala CD on again, I still think I need to cry a lot.
After all, I am awake now.
I am gonna ask for my lala videos.

More About Bestest Friend and Other Things

It is supposed to be a secret, but I really have THREE Bestest Friends. And they all look just the same.
It is important to make sure that I am not hugging one Bestest Friend more than another or they might get mad. So this morning I made mommy let me take the two Bestest Friends that were in my bed with me when I got up. So now I have all three in the living room and I can take turns hugging them today.
I think it is good.
I can't take a chance that any of my Bestest Friend's will be sad.

I have other things to say too.

Today mommy gave me a yummy thing I don't understand.
She said it is a pepper int patty.
I think I like it. But I am not sure. It does funny things in my mouth.
I will ask for more later. But for now I think I will just carry a piece around for a long time.

Bestest Friend

I have decided that I am not paying enough attention to my Bestest Friend.
He has looked sad.
So, for the past several days I have been carrying Monkey around all the time.

I made sure that I got him before mommy took me out of bed in the morning, and this morning I was extra careful to never let go even when mommy changed my diaper and got me dressed.
Mommy kept trying to get me to put him down, but I said no.
I was not going to hurt Monkey's feelings anymore.

He is in the middle of the floor now, but I know he is happy.
I can tell.
A person knows these things about their Bestest Friend.

More Confusing Things

Mommy and daddy took me to a great Daniel store today.
It had many many toys, and there was a picture of a giraffe.

I thought I was gonna get some kind of new great thing, but when we were in the car, daddy gave me a fake baby.
I don't remember asking for a fake baby, and I saw many monkeys there, so I don't know why I have a fake baby.

But then when we got home, mommy starting telling me to touch the fake baby like it was one of the kitty kats. "Niiicee. Be nice" she always says when I want to touch a kitty. And she said the same thing about the fake baby.

I decided to uncover the baby and look at it. Cause maybe it was fun in a way I don't know.
So I poked the baby's eyes and mouth a bit, and I made sure it had a belly button.
But it didn't beep, or make a noise, or anything.
Really boring.
So, since mommy said to be nice, I covered the baby back up with it's blankie, but then I was done.
Mommy said "shhh baby sleeping" but I didn't care.
Whatever.
It is really a boring fake baby.

I think I am just gonna ignore it from now on.

La La La Videos

I need to get Grandma to come over more.
She likes to tell mommy things like "you are going to make a spoil baby". Or something like that.
But mommy said yesterday she thinks Grandma is making a spoil baby too.

I just wanted to watch my La la la videos again.
Mommy said no.
I asked many times and mommy said no and daddy said no.
(Shhhh... I didn't tell daddy mommy had already shown me some la la las in the morning.)
But when Grandma was over to my house and I asked for la la la, and mommy said no, and then Grandma said "Ohhhhhhh why not???"
And so mommy showed me the la la la videos again!!!!

Anytime I see mommy on the com-poo-ter thing I ask for la la la.
And if Grandma was here I could get mommy to show me them all the time.
That would be great.

Helpful Me

Today mommy is doing things with yummies in the kitchen.
I wanted to help, so I stood at my gate and yelled for mommy to let me in.
She said "We are going to make din din for grandma's birfday. Do you want to help?"
I said "YETH!!!!!!"

Mommy was doing stuff where I could not reach to help, so I decided to do other things.
I knew she would need bowls and lids and things, so I went to where I see mommy hide those and I got them all out. Now mommy can pick which one she wants without having to look!
Mommy made a noise using her breathing.
That must mean I did good!

Then, I saw my box of capri sun drinks. I know mommy always opens them for me, so I thought it would be good if I took them all out of the box so she could get to them quick.
I told mommy I was helping, but I also kinda wanted to make sure she did not forget where they were.

Mommy was also sometimes opening up a special door that she put dirty things in. So I decided to open that door for her. Mommy made the breathing sound again, and then said "no thank you" and closed that door.
She must be done with it, cause I know she uses it a lot.

Mommy took me out of the kitchen and said she is done for now, but I hope I can help more later. Maybe I can help when she takes clothes out of that white thing in the closet. She always likes it when I carry them around and make piles for her.

I am such a GOOD HELPER!!!!!!

Pointy Color Thingies

Today mommy was using a pointy thing to make lines on some paper.
So when mommy was getting me a drink I decided to try it too.

I picked up the pointy thing and tried to make lines but it wouldn't work.
Mommy saw what I was doing, and she pushed a button and handed it back to me. This time when I tried to make lines it worked!! I made many lines!!
Mommy kept saying "GOOD JOB! YOU ARE COLORING!!!"

Then when we went to the store mommy got me something called col-or won-der mark-ers.

After dinner she gave me the new pointy things and the paper that was in the bag.
I liked making marked on that paper. But then sister and brother and mommy wanted to help and I said "NO!!!! MINE!!!!"
I was getting SO MAD!!!
These new pointy things are all mine, and they kept making marks or taking them out of my hands!!
HOW RUDE!
Then mommy took them away and said "Daniel! I do not like your atttttt.... attteeeetoood."

So then I had to go over and throw my animal toys.
So there!
