SWIMMING! Yea! I love swimming!

Want to play PEEK – A- GUGE!   May as well, we didn’t get to SWIM!

Dear Mom and Dad,

How do you like the title of my love letter to you… YEA, WELL THAT IS WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN,  EXCEPT, well let’s just say… NANA DID NOT ACCOUNT FOR THE ‘20,000’PLUS OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS RIDING ON THE PARTIALLY CLOSED HIGHWAY TO GOLDFISH MINI CLASS, nor did she account for the what seemed like tens of thousandswho decided like she did to take the an alternate route… on a non highway.. where in fact they sat in bumper to bumper traffic until approximately 6:30 pm… THE EXACT TIME GOLDFISH MINI CLASS ENDS!

So to all my little goldfish mini friends… next week I will most likely be there at about 4:0opm for my 6:00 class, just to ensure we don’t miss it.   Nana had taken me to the pediatrician today… (UNEXPECTED TRIP just to see if my lack of SLEEP WAS DUE TO A RECURRING EAR INFECTION, which IT WAS NOT!)  Note to self…REMIND NANA THAT THE  pediatrician is LESS THAN  a mile if that from GOLDFISH MINI,  BUT WHAT DID NANA DO… we went to the pediatrician at 2:ooish to have him inform us that I AM GETTING TEETH (no kidding) and that is all it is… so we were done, and had to drive all the way home, to pick up Uncle Nick, and go back to mini class which is not unti 6:00… or that’s what I thought was happening.

Not only did Great Aunt Pam drive all the way from her home AND Great Papa and GG-ma from theirs –  to see me swim, but GREAT GREAT (which means she is REALLY “great/awesome) Aunt Ida and 3rd cousin Nanc drove REALLY FAR to see me swim too.  They were all there.. ON TIME.  Fancy that… ?  Nana got me dressed at home, with my little swimmers diaper this time and my two piece big girl bathing suit, a robe and some duck slippers… thinking I would be ready to go… GO WHERE NANA?  Mini Class I thought?   But NOOOOOOOOO….. Nana took me to DINNER… INSTEAD… IN MY DUCK ROBE, DUCK SLIPPERS AND BATHING SUIT… where ye, she did immediately take me and change me but geez… I felt so out of place… like A FISH OUT OF WATER …!  

We retuned to camp and I posed for the beast, because, EVEN THOUGH I WAS HYPNOTIZED BY GREAT GREAT AUNT IDA TO SLEEP TONIGHT and actually did fall asleep at 8:00pm… I awakened by 8:30pm and as you can tell… was OH SO TIRED… NOT!   (Don’t forget to read with the mouse over my photo… I will relay to you my thoughts in each photo…. about how EXHAUSTED I am…

Nasty rumor… something about letting me cry in my crib…. if I don’t stop wanting to stay up all night with the older campers…. STRIKE THAT IDEA… BESIDES, not to brag or anything…. but I think I have Nana a little too wrapped… for her to allow that to happen… she doesn’t like it when I cry, and I AM WELL AWARE OF THIS LITTLE TIDBIT AND FIND IT VERY USEFUL!  

I got to thinking about a really important issue…

Are you guys serious?   You really want me to ‘crawl’  or  as I like to say in a political correct manner..  you want me to ‘horizontally manuveur’ on this stuff?

eh… hmmm… I think NO NOT TODAY… Hey Nana,what’s this stuff on the carpet?  Don’t make me call GG-ma on you!   Can’t we get one of the big campers to use that big powerful ‘boogie’ suck thing you call a vaccuum… WHAT EVER YOU DO DON’T GET OUT THAT BLUE THING YOU USE ON MY NOSE… I STILL AND ALWAYS WILL HATE THAT THING… as you may notice in a few of my photos, but I don’t care, I AM NOT DOING THE BOOGIE SUCK THING… 

Well, I had a great day… I am totally miserable cutting all these teeth, but the pediatrician says… no ear trouble!   He says, ‘just teething’, I say… it’s not fun, and I wish they would all come in already!

Until tomorrow, I am and always will be your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter, (looking a bit tired now, think I will go to sleep… and by the way, how do you like the sneak peak at my dimple, cute huh?)

Guillianna!

P.S……  Nana, we need to work on your timely-ness… you know you never let any of your kids be TARDY!  I am JUST SAYIN’  Folks are going to start talking ….. don’t make me ask “where’s your head?” But you know me, I say.. if the shoe fits… ????   Speaking of shoes, I have a pair mommy will love… maybe I will show you guys tomorrow…  Hugs and Kisses from the Mitten State to the Land of Sand!  (and all the other places my friends follow me from)

P.S.S.   Hey Daddy-O your Chargers are playing Great Grandmonster’s Steelers this week… and I think the Steelers are going to beat your Charger’s what do you think?

P.S.S.S—– Hey Papa Alan, incase you didn’t know…Nana appreciated dinner… she was soooooo tired… and it was nice to enjoy dinner.  She and I loved our omlet!

Why Can’t I Sleep?

Dear Mom and Dad…

So, as you probably noticed, Nana did not complete my love letter in her usual time frame… (during my sleeping time) because… I chose not to sleep.

I went to bed at 900 ish, and decided to wake back up and stay up until after midnight ish…. and all of that after I woke up at 500am and didn’t nap all day other than a 10 minute cat nap that did not  allow Nana a chance to accomlish much.   I am not sure if I am still feeling the effects of my ear ache, or if I am just a PARTY GIRL who wants to party with each and every camper as much as possible.   I haven’t a fever, my nose is not dripping, yes I continue to drool, so it could be that I am working on more teething issues, but there is one thing for certain.   I DO NOT WANT TO SLEEP, I DON’T LIKE TO SLEEP, AND I LOVE PLAYING… as a matter of fact, today, I was not interested in posing for the beast, I was interested in playing, and above, Nana snapped the shot which was distracting me from play! 

Can you tell, I am asking her, WHAT?  Can’t you see I am busy here!

Here are a few more…

Me busy as a bumble bee, no time for smiling at the beast, or even stopping for a second…

When I am interested in playing.. don’t bother me with little things like taking pictures…

I WANT TO PLAY…

so… I did…

Play, Play, Play, (NO NAP) Play, Play, and play some more….

So I paused for a moment, then it was back to my Pooh Bear Auto, which I find very amusing, and interesting…

There are about a bazillion buttons to push, and noises to make, which means …. you know what….

No time for napping…

Believe me, Nana tried, and I had to put my foot down and say, how can I sleep with so many things to explore, and do here…

and when done with all the toys, there is always the little lens cap to play with too…

Nap you say?   Napping is for babies!   I am soooooooo big, and I will fight you on this idea….(at least for today cause all I want to do is play play play)

But even though I fought Nana on resting very much and was an EARLY riser, I was still adorable,

I was still sweet,

and I am as I am every single day…

Your, LITTLE MISS ADORABLE, YOUR SWEET DAUGHTER,

GUILLIANNA!

Monday’s Reading Picnic …

Lisa September 28, 2009 2Comments

Dear Mom and Dad,

So today was a Monday… and most everyone had work of some kind.  Uncle Nick is off this week from school but had work for Poppy to do.  All the other campers had school and work… so it was pretty much just Nana and I, at the zoo… OH, I MEANT CAMP.  

After Uncle Nick finished his work for Poppy, he snapped up a few shots with the beast because I was having ‘reading time’ with Nana… and the zoo campers. 

See I have the book opened to the page I like best, and Mr. Griffy and Miss Liberty are in front of me, but I cannot get Justice to pay attention.  Nana is the grey blob next to me.. and we were all sitting on our picnic reading time blanket except for one renegade camper….

Here all three are listening, with Mr. Griff laying calm and Miss Liberty even resting… but Justice, stands at attention, just in case he has to go bark at a squirrel outside during story time… oh please!  Sit already… I’m reading here…gee wiz…

Nana was telling mommy on the phone of our morning routine, and when she called Aunt Arri tried to video me doing some of these things.  So here is how a morning goes at camp.   I almost always wake with a smile, and start talking in the crib, when I do, Nana says.. DO I HEAR A BABY?    From that moment on, I am pretty much all smiles.   We get up change a dipe, and I stretch… to grow just a bit more that day.  Then we let the  canine animals at camp out… when we do, Nana  has a little thing that hangs by the back door.  In it, a lot of dust, and a few little tiny decorations, mostly little bears… that she lets me explore.   I get to hold them or touch them, and could do this for hours.   I am so gentle with them, I don’t even think about putting them in my mouth, it’s like I have it totally figured out, these are not baby toys.. and I am being so good when she lets me see them.   From there we go the the refridgerator, where I OPEN THE DOOR.  I then peek around the door, and look for Ms. Butterworth, she is in there every time… sitting waiting for me to say hi to her.   We grab a ‘bob’ and throw it into the warmer with a little sauce (water).   While I wait for the bob, I listen to a little magnet that is on the side of the fridge, with two little adorable characters that talk and laugh, I love them.   I usually sit and enjoy the bob,  as it early and very quiet around here.   

I hope you can image what morning here at camp is like… and soon you will be here in person for a bit to spend quiet mornings too.  It will be so awesome to just sit and DO NOTHING BUT SMILE AT EACH OTHER… and possibly watch Sid the Science Kid which is on sometimes when I eat my bob.   Until tomorrow, I am as always, your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna

Daddy and Mommy’s little princess!

I am being so good… I cannot wait we will be together in just over eight weeks…

WOO … WOO!

Reflecting….

Lisa September 27, 2009 1Comments

Dear Mom and Dad…

What a day I had today… it began with a visit to a very good friend of Poppy and Nana’s, Ms. Lois who just had surgery. I took a pose by her flowers because they were so beautiful.

Then after that, we had a day planned around visiting Great Grandma and Great Papa!   GG-ma again prepared the most delicious dinner for me.   Noodles, a favorite, and carrots too.   I love eating big people food…. I had some applesauce too.   Everything was amazing but most of all, she made a special recipe cheesecake, one that her mom used to make long ago…and let me say this… IT WAS SCRUMPTOUS!   I loved it, and may ask her to make me one of those for my FIRST BIRTHDAY because it was that delish!

Nana and Poppy both hope all the campers will reflect today AND EVERY DAY, asking themselves constantly if there something more that can be done to make the world nicer, is there a way for me to be nicer and have empathy,compassion, tolerance,  and understanding for all men and women, all faiths, all, cultures, all races, and to make right anything they ever do wrong intentionally or otherwise.  The family sitting and enjoying each others company made for a nice evening.    I heard from mommy today which was an extra bonus!  She sounded okay, and I was talking and laughing a bit for her  – just so she could hear me.   Here is a look at my day…..  and Nana always says she was told… THE BOOK OF LIFE HAS CHILDREN IN IT… SO MY PHOTOS FROM TODAY ARE IN THE FORM OF A BOOK BECAUSE I KNOW THAT “I” am YOUR EVERYTHING IN LIFE.   Until tomorrow, please know that I am your Little Miss Adorable, the one and only your daughter,  Guillianna, who is the child in your book of life, and has blessed all by being Mommy and Daddy’s little princess!
