Tonight Mommy and Breighton went to Princess on Ice. I got to stay home with Daddy.

He gave me a bath and everything. I took the big cup you see, filled it with water, and pushed it under and then up the upsidedown ring toy. So that that the blue plastic “rod” is down in the cup. Then proceeded to go whirrrrrrrrrr and move the cup around, take it “off” and hand it to Daddy mummbling what sounded like “here for u”.

We need to lay off the treats!!!!!

Today Mommy tucked me in for a nap and then took Breighton to gymnastics. I guess I heard her leave or felt her not in the house. Within minutes of her departure I went into total meltdown. Daddy tried everything for over an hour to no avail. Nothing was making me happy. He really tried hard to figure out what my gripe was about. Thank you so much Daddy.

Mommy finally got home and I greeted her with a happy smile and giggle. She rocked me for a few minutes and I fell asleep in her arms. She put me in my bed and walked out. Then… SCREAM!!!!! NOT happy. Mommy rocked and nursed me then again put me in bed… SCREAM! AH! Finally she gave up and we played on the floor until I stuck my finger in a hole in the wall and got a splinter (old screw hole from where the bookshelf used to be). She took me to the bathroom for splinter removal and opted for a diaper change as well. Well, low and behold somehow I had a sliver of hard plastic in my diaper! It was about 3/4 inch long and 1/2 inch wide and bright yellow! Who knows where it came from… but that was my issue.

Mommy put a little medicine on a scratch that the sharp plastic made then gave me a new diaper. Mommy hugged me and rocked me for one last try and I was out like a light! All better! Naptime at 4pm, normally 12:30!! UGH!

From Mommy:

you would think that after nearly 3 hours of emmerson screaming and refusing to nap we should have checked his diaper earlier! He had a HUGE plastic sliver in it! UGH! poor baby!

It is 1am and I have already been up three times. Poor lil bugger, huh? I am just not happy with life tonight. Finally asleep after 45 min of screaming in Mommy’s arms. Teeth?? Maybe? !

We went to Rigsby again today for Pint Sized Picassos. there were about 15 kids there, maybe more. But as usual we were the first ones there… apparently we are the only ones EVER on time.

I got my smock on and grabbed my tools.

I was fascinated with the paint.

Rinsing the brushes was really fun too!

Rolling paint.

Sponge painting!

Finger painting!

Making stamp painting!

I really liked the stamps!

I was awesome at painting them and then flipping them to press on the paper.

This huge sponge was awesome too!

MORE PAINT!

I was the only kid that stayed focused and painted for the entire hour!!! The other kids lasted 5-10 min tops and were off running around the room! What focus I had!!!
