Double It!

I can count. A bit off the subject but I just wanted to throw that out there. I mean I need a little help when counting but I can get all the way up to nine. And that's actually very close to the subject because for the last couple of months (I think it was nine) mama has been telling me about this baby. The first couple months I would just smile and nod. I mean mama says some silly things every now and again so I thought this was just one of those silly-mama-sayings. Eventually her belly began to grow and grow it did! Then I started catching on and I would point to her belly and say, "baby." Okay so I get it. Big tummy = baby. What's the big deal?

OH! A BABY! Now I get it! Why didn't you just say you were having a baby (not that I would have understood that any better). Hey I kinda like this. Look at this from my point of view. First of all, Nana Mary came to visit. So cool. We've been painting, drawing, playing with play-doh, and I've shown her all my trucks and choo-choos. Oh and better yet, she brought me some new toys!

Not only did she bring me new toys, but some lollipops as well. Thank you so much, nana!

Second, all the attention is now on my little sister so I can get away with so much more. Before Lauren came along, I could only have a paci when I was in the crib. But now, I just fuss a little and out comes the paci. It's great! Everyone wants to see Lauren so they do everything they can to keep me quiet and happy. I'm sure I'll enjoy this for many months to come. But it's not all about me (there's a concept I've learned at a very early age) because mama must have done one serious magic trick to get that baby out of her tummy (not a concept I want to learn at this very early age). Well, however she did it, it must have been tiring because when I visited mama in the big building with patients she stayed in bed the whole time. So I brought her flowers.
