Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Ma said she caught a pot of gold and that I'm THAT pot of gold. Hmm.

Busy. Socialized. Pooped. Happy.

Title says it all, pictures to follow and reveal its own story:



Been lazing around on Aunty Cat's bed. She moved to a new spot and to the best spot I gladly admit. I like lying down there and claiming it as my own bed.



Yo?



Hey, you're trespassing on my territory!

Anyway, other than trying to mark territory, I've been busy going to places. One night Ma and Aunty Cat told stories at a bookstore with bunch of kids. Poppie and Grandma were there! It was a nice surprise seeing them.



Hey! Hello!!



Bring me back to Poppie and Grandma!



Posing pictures with the celebrities of the night: The Cassidy Twins. They told stories really well and I love the book I'm holding in my hands (The Small Pig)- Aunty Cat read it to me MANY times and I always want MORE.

Then last weekend I hung out with Ma and Aunty Cat on Saturday at a conference. I basically walked around, ran, play with cars and even *gasp all you want* was nice to a little baby boy named Tristan.

Playing with one of my favorite car. Vroom.



Was a tad bit bored until Ma gave me her lip gloss. Whee.



Here's me signing, "I Love You."



then I laid down on the floor by a door and played all by myself. I can entertain myself for hours you know? But it wasn't necessary, a little wee babe named Tristan came along.



Da da dum, Tristan crawls up from behind.



Hey, is that a baby behind me?



Yo! Back off! Who are you??



I ran onto her lap and plopped there- telling Tristan that this woman was MINE.

Ma was patient and explained to me that Tristan was a sweet baby who wanted to play with me. I decided to give it a try.



*see Ma explaining*



Teaching Tristan all about reflections.



See? Come on, look!

We played for short but that was it, I had my fill and went off to play somewhere else.

Now here's the highlight of this post called "Pooped". I'll let my email do the talking and share pictures from when I was at Aunty Cat's home and demanded to pee with Ma's help (they didn't have my favorite potty chair there).

"March 11, 2008 evening:

When playing doodle with Ma on my new table, I gave her the look of "opps" and she immediately knew I peed somewhere. Lately she has been having me half naked. Ma looked at the rug area and saw where I lightly tinkled and said, "you know where to go to the potty, do you need to pee some more?"

I looked at her and contemplated- I could just pee right there and get it over with but then, I didn't want to miss out the fun of dumping my pee into the toilet bowl, flushing it down and then washing my hands.

I then decided to opt for the latter and ran to the bathroom. Mom followed me as usual, to make sure I was doing it properly. Well, this time, I thought I could do it on my own. I pushed Ma out of the bathroom and told her, "out!"

She left.

I peed and POOPED.

Ma and Pa were shocked, I did this on my own and I didn't need them giving me that "grunt-I-am-pooping-bricks" expressions.

I proudly picked up the eewie pot and dumped it into the toilet, splashing water in the process but that's okay, it's all a learning experience. Then I put the pot back, flushed the toilet and turned my butt around facing Ma demanding her to wipe me arse. I know I can do that myself but well, I wasn't going to let her or Dad go that easy- wiping my butt is no fun you know? Let them do the dirty work for now.

Anyway- of course I washed my hands like a big boy.

Aren't you proud??

I am also so glad Mom didn't take a picture of my poo, that'd have been disgusting, no?

eitan"



"grunts-I-am-pooping-bricks" expression taught by Mom and Dad.



eeerrrrrr!! *I successfully peed*



*I like watching how the pee flows*



Mama's proud :)



Aren't you too?

And as for happy. I'm just happy. I'm happy that I have a great Dad and Mom, fun Cousins, Caring Grandparents, Loving Aunts and Uncles and ultimately, that I'll be a big brother!



And the best of them all, Mommy and Daddy love me so very much.



MWAH!
