Uh Oh Baybee!!!

Oh, Diary!!! What should I tell you first?

So many things have been happening. And it is all so strange.
For a long time mommy didn't feel very good, and for some reason her lap kept getting smaller. I kept looking for all my balls, because I thought mommy was playing a game and hiding them under her shirt. But I never found them there.
Then, for a couple weeks we kept going bye-bye to a big building that mommy said I was at when I was a tiny baby.
Mommy was no fun to play with and Bruhver and Sitter played with me a lot.
I also got to see Granma and Aunt Kahkee a lot, which was great.
Then, one day when it was still dark outside, I went bye-bye with Granma and Aunt Kahkee.
We all went to the big building again, and then we sat in a place with tables and chairs for a long time. Aunt Kahkee gave me a new phone and I had much fun calling all my girlfriends on it.

After many hours of playing games and watching my Melmo videos, Aunt Kahkee and Granma took me to another room where mommy was!!!!
Mommy was lying in bed and everyone was looking at something mommy was holding.

And this is where it gets really strange.
Mommy was holding something that looked like a dolly and they kept calling it "Baybee."

Mommy and Daddy had given me a dolly a very very long time ago when I was a smaller boy, and they called it "baybee" -- but I didn't like it.
It was boring and I pretended it wasn't there and played with my truck instead.
I am gonna pretend this Baybee isn't there too.

Daddy held me and pointed to Baybee and asked if I wanted it, and I said "NO NO BAYBEE!"

But they didn't listen to me!
Many days later Mommy came home, but she brought Baybee with her!!

Everyone kept looking at Baybee and wanting to hold Baybee and telling me to be nice to Baybee.

I was hoping Baybee would go away, but he is still here.
Mommy and Daddy hold him a lot, and sometimes he is very noisy!
He has even woke me up from my nigh-nigh!!

But the worst thing of all, Diary, is that once we went to the store -- and the lady I was smiling at talked to Baybee and looked at Baybee and never looked at me!!!
I was giving her my bestest cute smiles, and she didn't see them!

I am trying to be nice to Baybee, and sometimes I even help Mommy by giving her Baybee's binky or blankee.
But I still like it best when Mommy doesn't have Baybee in her lap.
I think tomorrow I will put all my Bestest Friend Monkeys on her so there will be no room for Baybee.

Uh Oh Night Night

I don't know what is going wrong.
I was doing nigh nigh the way I like it, but mommy didn't do it my way tonight!

When mommy puts me to nigh nigh I cry and cry until she then gets me and we lay on her bed and watch my shows on the big TV. It is so nice. I get to do some cuddling with mommy and Bestest Friend Monkey and binky while watching shows.
She always is done with big tv before me -- and I try to tell her by crying -- but I don't think she hears me.

But when daddy puts me nigh nigh I don't bother to cry.
I know daddy won't do the big tv cuddling.
So I just go to sleep.

For many nights daddy was home to put me nigh nigh so I just had to listen to my Elmo la-las and go to sleep.
But finally tonight it was just mommy again.
So, I cried and cried like always.
But mommy didn't come in!

I cried and cried more and I got really upset. I even yelled at her and hit my bed with my hands.
Then mommy came in... but she didn't even pick me up!!!!!!
All she did was give me a hug and then say "Daniel it is nigh nigh time, I won't come in again."

WHAT???

What is going wrong!?!?!?

I don't understand.
I thought mommy knew what I wanted!!!

I was upset but I could tell she was telling the truth. So I decided to go to sleep after a couple minutes.

I'll try again tomorrow though.
She probably wasn't really serious about not coming in again. I probably gave up too easy.
Maybe she didn't hear how upset I was.
I will cry longer tomorrow.

A Great New Game!

I have a great new game I am playing with mommy!
I took one of her shoes and made it go bye-bye in a secret place!
Mommy was looking all over for her shoe. She asked me if I knew where it was, but I pretended to be too busy with my toys.
It is so great to be playing with mommy like this.
I think she is having fun.

Ooooooo

I was going nigh-nigh yesterday when all of a sudden my light and my la-la music went bye-bye!

I wasn't asleep yet, so I decided to cry cause it was kinda scary.
When sister took me out of my room I couldn't see anything! And then I saw brother and mommy with little sticks that had light on it.

Mommy then gave me a little stick with a light and it was great! Where ever I went the light was there! I decided to run all around to see what my room and the hall and the kitchen and the living room and the kitties and my toys and brother and everything looked like with this little light! I ran and ran and ran. Sometimes I fell down went boom cause I couldn't see a toy on the floor -- but I just laughed cause it was so great to run and run with the little light!

Later all the big lights turned on again and then mommy said I didn't need the little light and it was nigh-nigh time.
I was very sad!
I was having so much fun!

I hope mommy decides to turn all the big lights off again soon!!

My Favorite Words

I have decided to work on some of my words.
These are some of my favorites so far:
* yeth -- so I can say "yes" to things
* dohw dar -- means "downstairs" cause I want to go play with brother and sister
* bov ber -- means "brother" so I can ask him to come play with me
* baah-oo -- means "balloon" so I can play with my balloon or ask for one
* bah bah -- of course is for when I want to go bye bye
* keee -- so I can talk about kitty kat

I have a lot of other words I like too, but I don't feel like saying them. Mommy is always bothering me to say them, so I don't want to.
But I do like these words too:
* pizza
* cheeseburger
* hungry
* drink
* dance
* monkey
* binky
* outside
* walk

I have many others I like, but I don't want to use them all up.

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.
