Hi
Alert Readers! It's MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Rory!
My GG had a "little talk" with me about not writing her blog last
week, so here I am! She told you
all about our eskiting Chrissmus Day . . . so I won't say much about that
except that I had sooo many fun boxes and paper to play with that I didn't know
what to do with myself. My
grownups kept showing me some colorful things they called "toys", but
I was happy with all of the boxes! I did get to take the "toys" home,
and I like to play with them- but I REELY liked the boxes!
Guess
what???? I met a whole bunch of
new grown-ups! On Sunday, after
church, my Mama and Daddy took me to a place called "Tem-py" to Ant
Jody's house. There were a LOT of people there- and I didn't know most of them.
My Mama and Daddy were talking about a "Family Holiday Partee", so I
think that's what this was. At first, I was a little confused about all of the
new people and noise, but then I saw my Papa and I felt MUCH better! I know my
Papa, and I love him so much! So I smiled
reel big when I saw him there. My GG was there too, so I was okay with everyone
else. I was wearing my pretty red dress and red bow in my hair, and everyone
told me how cute I am. Of course, I am used to hearing that, and I still try
VERRY HARD to live up to it. Mama handed me to my GG, and she hugged and kissed
me to death! Then Papa came over and kissed me too! I think I am my Papa's
favorite person in the whole world –well, maybe I come second, behind GG. We were only at Ant Jody's for a few minutes
before my Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Trevor, Uncle Nick and my soon-to-be-Ant
Emily came. Of course, then THEY all had to hug and kiss me too. But I am used
to it, and I am a good girl to endure it all. . . . sigh . . .
Before
too long, a pretty lady came and took me from my GG. They told me she is my Ant
Jill. At first I felt a little
uncomfortable, but I am a big girl now, and too grown-up to fuss over something
silly like that! Besides, I saw my Mama and Daddy were still there, so I went
with Ant Jill and met a lot of new grownups. I think Ant Jill said they are my
"relatifs"? In a little
while, Ant Jill handed me to a "cuzzin"- I think her name was
"Lin-sey". She carried
me around the house for a while, then gave me back to my Mama. Mama took me to
another room and changed my clothes. She took off my pretty dress and put some
cute jeans and a shirt on me. She said something about "making a
mess"? When we joined the
party again, there was a lot of noise and lots and lots of peeple. I reely am
not crazy about crowds and noise, but before long, Mama gave me my dinner, and
I enjoyed my bottle while watching my grown ups get some plates and swarm
around the "kichen" area. My GG finished eating and took me from my
Mama so Mama could eat too. Papa was sitting right next to us with his plate,
and GG put a spoon into something called "beens" –they were all
smooshed up so they were soft- and the she put the spoon in my mouth. I wasn't crazy about the "beens",
but GG gave me TWO more tastes before she caught on. My goodness! My
Daddy said, "That's going to be an interesting diaper!" What was he talking about?
By
now, there were little kids running around the house, making a lot of noise. As
I said before, I am not too wild about noise. Two boys ran right past me three
times- laughing and yelling. I jumped a little bit each time they came by, but
then I watched them go running . . . and I wanted to go run with them. I am a
big girl, but I still don't know how to manage my legs and feet. Two older
grownups yelled at the boys and made them stop running, but I saw them walking
around and around from the famly room through the kichen and dining room and
back into the famly room. But I didn't JUMP anymore, because they were quiet.
My grownups decided to play a "gayme" . . . but my GG held me, and
she sang pretty songs with me. We sing really well together! I noticed that I drooled a little bit
on her new blouse, and tried to tell her I was sorry. But she just laughed and
said that a little "Rory drool" was a badge of honor???? Mama took me and sat me down on a tiny
chair by a very small table.
Another grownup lady put a little BOY baby just next to me on his own
tiny chair. They told me he is my "cuzzin", and they started to take
pictures. I was very interested in the bright pretty that was in the middle of
the table, but before too long, I noticed that the little boy was interesting
too, and tried to grab him. He smiled reel big at me, and we tried to hold
hands! The grownups thought that was sooooo cute, and they tried to get us to
do it again for a picture, but although we are both very grown up, we just
couldn't manage it. We did smack
each other a little bit, but it was all in fun. He and I seemed to be the smallest
people at the party. I hope I see him again!
By
now, I was absolutely exhausted! My Mama and Daddy decided it was time to go
home, so they put me in my car seet and I went right to sleep! It had been a very eskiting day for me,
meeting all kinds of new grownups, and especially my new boy cuzzin, who's my
age!
Today
I am at my Grandma and Grandpa's house. And I'm staying the night!!!! My Mama and Daddy are celebrayting
their 2nd annivercity. I heard them talking about going "out to
dinner" (they used to take ME!) and to a moo-vey. But I am happy, because I get to stay
ALL NIGHT with four people who love, love, love me! Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle
Nick and Uncle Trevor!!!!!!
YAY!
And
then, to top it all off, I get to spend Thursday with my Papa and GG! GG told me they bought three NEW TOYS for my play mat
and Exersaucer! PLUS, I have three brand-new toys from Santa at their house. I
hope they have a couple of boxes for me!
I heard that today is the
first day of 2013. I don't know what that all means . . . but I keep hearing
people say, "Happy New Yeer!, so I'll say it to all of you. Happy New
Yeer, dear readers. Bye! I love
you all! Rory
