Just because…

by jake on January 24, 2012

Papa wanted to buy me a toy train bridge the other day………just because.  I got lots of  nice presents for holiday but papa just had to get me one more special toy to add to my collection of trains and tacks and accessories.  He knows I love bridges and tunnels.  Mommy did not want to give the toy to me on the day  papa got it cuz it was a school day and when I come home, I am day tired, but I got it on Sunday and played for hours.

rani macaw investigates…she is a good big bird and mommy calls her the big red dog cuz she barks and  walks on the floor….just like kaley corgi!!!

this is a bridge that can turn so the boats can go under, but I love it cuz it is a bridge!

mommy originally set it up on my big train table, a table mommy set up for me, ……it is two big table worth of tracks but she does not let me  change the tracks with out her permission and all the tracks have to stay on the table.  I have lots of left over tracks she allows me to  put together on the floor any which way but the ones on the table are to stay on the table!!!

the BIG train table… this is the final set up but mommy has moved the tables once to make for a pathway to the kitchen and she has even changed tables a couple of times because she wanted the biggest combination and tables the same height.  Everything has to be near perfect for her cuz then she knows there is less trouble for me.

Mommy decided to let me have full authority on the papa bridge, cuz then I can set it up anyway I want…………… did you notice this is upside down but it works great this way!  Mommy thinks I am a super creative wizard when it comes to building train tracks.  I just know to have  great fun!!!

Mommy loves to take pics and too bad she did not have the setting on the “moving man” so the action can be seen clearer………..I am showing mommy how the train goes down the track fast and on its own.

jake r doodle smiles big!!!…thank you papa for the new train bridge…it is the greatest!!!

s and he hates  this.  He says, “Do not call me, ma pa.”   Just the other day,  I  decided to call mommy, “Pa ma.”  Mommy thinks it is cuz I reverse the way I call papa.  She thinks it is cute and does not care but papa really hates being called,  Ma pa!  Mommy laughs, at least she is not so upset with the new odd name as  when I  call people,  “Poo poo head.”  It was cute for a bit but now mommy tells me not to call people this.  I have  called papa this, and the cake lady at the cake store, my teacher and a class mate. Papa does not mind that word and says, I  say it affectionately.  Yes, I do not say it to be mean, but mommy says it is now getting out of hand and  when I started to call,  lots of people this, she figured it was not fun or cute anymore………… I do not have an opinion yet on this matter….but mommy is trying hard to make this name go away!!!…what do you think???? Mommy thinks people do not want to be called this [she  will always remember how embarrassed she was when I said this to the nice cake server lady and  I bolted out the door.  mommy could not even retrieve me to say sorry…she hates me to  act improper]…

One time I said it to the teacher but I do not think she heard. Yesterday I said it to a classmate but  he only said, “Goodbye Jacob.”  Mommy figures I am still a wild kid and young, but she sure is trying hard to have me  act proper and not be so wild and rude.

It’s a birthday party!!!

by jake on January 23, 2012

It’s a birthday party, but not mine.  It was a classmate, Katherine and she turned five years old.  Her party had a rainbow theme. This is the second birthday party I have been invited to. It was in the club house of the neighborhood down the block.  Mommy thought since it was only for three hours, the parents did not have to stay, but I am glad she did.

The kids made a craft,  an elephant picture.  I was to cut out the shapes that make up the elephant.  It was a large circle for the body, small circle for the head and  another shape for the ears and tail. The legs were rectangles.  I am sure glad mommy was there because she had to help me and supervise me.  One time she left to get scissors and I squeezed out a big glob of glue on the  project.  Mommy had me work on the floor instead of the table, cuz I  needed so much room.

Mommy help me cut and make the shapes of  part of the elephant.  She even help me glue some of the parts.

There was lots of sugar at the party.  Since it was a rainbow party theme,  there was candy of rainbow colors, and cookies in rainbow and cake of rainbow.

I liked the cake and went up for seconds.  Mommy did not let me eat  that much candy but I did get my fair share that was more than mommy allows.  I even got the second piece of cake, even though mommy wanted to say no.

There was a piñata and I was a good boy and stood in line nicely.  I got to hit the piñata a couple of times.  Candy fell out and I chose to pick up the tiny lollipops, cuz I  know them well from the BBQ!  Mommy lets me eat one, but only at the  BBQ place.

In two and a half hours I had so much sugar in me, I went wild. I even ran out of the building.  Mommy could not find me and  told one person she knew cuz he was the father of the child from the very first birthday party I was invited to.  She asked the man, cuz he knows who I am.  He looked for me and went outside to the pool and spotted me in the playground.  Mommy was so  angry.  I was holding my balloon.  I told her I was looking for the car!

I was starting to get so wild, if I was to be inside, I was now….crawling and climbing under the table!!!

When papa came to pick us up,  we went out to the restaurant so I could eat regular food.  I was the worst kid ever.  I did not sit still and crunched up the tortilla chips in tiny crumbs  with my hands, and played with my food and even wiped food off my plate to the floor.  Mommy and papa were not happy with my behavior!

I had a fun day, but mommy will make sure I do not eat so much sugar at birthday parties.

Jake r doodle dandy smiles!!!   Being a kid is fun but frustrating to mommy and papa sometimes!!!
