Who Wants Me Next?

The day before Mom & Daddy's anniversary, I got to take a little trip without them. Boppa and Grandma had to go visit Auntie Sherry, and she suggested they tote me along. I was so excited to go see Sherry and her dog Charlie, I climbed in my seat while Boppa was trying to install it in his car! The long car ride down went quite well. We had lots of fun. Then, when we got to Sherry's, I found my airplane rocker and colors right where I left them at Halloween. Even more exciting, she had a new "boat" for me to play in. I've now learned the word kayak, and hope to have one of my own when I am bigger.
Baby Jaguar and Auntie Sherry's moose liked playing in there too! I also got to help walk Charlie and wear my new boots in the fresh snow (we didn't have snow at home then, but we sure do now!). Sherry had to help me some because it was a bit slippery. I don't know about her and Charlie, but I sure thought our walks were fun!
It was a fun visit. And Mom & Daddy had a nice anniversary dinner plus did a little Christmas shopping. Unfortunately, we hit some bad weather on the way home, so our drive back home was v e r y s l o w. We got home after 11:00pm. The really bad part (for Mom, anyway) was I slept for about 5 hours in the car. When Mom & Daddy got me in jammies and sent me to bed, I thought it was time for breakfast. Mom snuggled me in their bed, hoping I would fall asleep faster, but ha ha!! Around 3:00, after watching Dumbo twice, hearing Goodnight Moon, having both parents sing my favorite songs, and Daddy giving up to go sleep on the couch, FINALLY I fell asleep...for about 4 hours. There was a lot of napping going on the next day...though very little from me!

Looks like my old shoes fit just fine. I'm glad someone will wear them more than I ever did.

They've given me many happy days! Lately, I've been trying to figure out how to tie them myself...it's not working so well just yet...
