SLEEPLESS IN MICHIGAN!

Lisa October 19, 2009 1Comments

Dear Mom and Dad…

I am doing good today.  Poppy had a special presentation to give, and Uncle Nick, Nana and I helped him get ready.  The hard part was, I didn’t want to sleep AT ALL LAST NIGHT.   I fought it off until nearly 2:00 a.m.    CRAZY huh?  Was up four times before getting out of bed at 700 a.m.  Nana says she is stopping all jokes about PARTY MY CRIB TWO A.M., BECAUSE I AM TAKING it all QUITE LITERALLY. 

The simplest of toys and games are so fun… look I can play with a little tupperware bowl as it it is the worlds greatest toy!

I don’t nap much during the day… it is true, maybe forty five minutes on a good day,and only broken up into ten or  twenty minute increments.  I AM AN INSOMIAC and no one knows why.   I truly love spending time with all the campers in this house, and since everyone has different schedules, well, I AM WAITING TO SEE EACH AND EVERY ONE of them IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT.  I think Nana is planning a sneak attack… she is trying to come up with some new way to trick me into sleeping like “babies are supposed to”.   You know go to bed at 8pm and get up at like 6 am ish or later even.  I DON’T THINK SO NANA!   My momma told me I am the princess… and I say NO NO NO… to sleep, and yes yes yes to laying down for a moment or two or being rocked in my chair, doze and then wake up as if I just caught 8 hours sleep and sit straight up I will have NO PART of going back down.   

Last night, I was being rocked at about one a.m. and when I woke up I cranked my neck up and around looking for fellow campers, or someone to party with… who did I see  JUST NANA… darn!

Look what I can do now…

    I am able to kneel… and soooo very close to crawling around… if you put your hand under my belly, I will crawl.  If you take it away, I roll over … and lay on the ground…. it’s a game, and it is fun.   This way all the campers are getting down to my level… and THAT IS COOL for me.  

Nana had Aunt Arri and Aunt Mikayla help this afternoon at camp.   The kitties had left hairballs, and kitty litter duty called,  camp stuff I am immune from due to size…. ALSO COOL…. not to mention I think Nana has been a little tired.  WHY I DON’T KNOW,  but I chalk it up to … she is old and I know she was happy to have the help of my aunties today.  Usually it is just her and I and the bag of melodies she usually sings… TODAY I GOT A  REPREIVE, and my time with my aunties was well spent. 

I spent the day investigating and observing, playing and practicing…

Even when exhausted, I still have the wide eyed thingy going on…

I finally took a rest  this afternoon,I fought that too…

but got in One solid hour  eventually…

Nana should have napped too, instead she put the love letter together and sent it to you… because she thinks I may have a bag full of tricks up my sleeve for later tonight…. How dare she?

I am not tricky, nothing hiding up these sleeves…. I DON’T SLEEP, AND IT’S NO SECRET…

Until tomorrow Mom and Dad, please know that I love you, and miss you both.  I am really being a good camper, and truth be told… NANA LOVES BEING WITH ME… she just wants you to be prepared for when we are together… I PLAN ON GIVING YOU A FEW SLEEPLESS NIGHTS TOO…I just love learning and spending time with people.  I am sure it is just a phase… and I will eventually get back to some kind of sleep pattern.  Who knows, maybe I am just anxious about our visit. COMING VERY SOON WOO WOO…  I am today as always your Little Miss Adorable, little Miss Sleepless in Michigan, your daughter,

Guillianna!

A Sunday Drive….

Dear Mom and Dad,

So here I am toolin’ about on my Winnie the Pooh Expedition Car, hope you like it…

It is a blast…. and I have learned to push the car too…

Sunday’s are always fun, I spend the day with all the campers, and I get the attention of everyone …. so what could be bad…. it’s ALL ABOUT GUILLIANNA!

Here I am checking out the engine, and giving it a tune up for my day touring camp.

I love this little car, and not only do I love fixing it, and riding it, but as you can see in the video above, it is fun to play catch with it.

I am so curious about everything, and lately, it makes is soooooo hard to go to sleep, because the minute I hear a sound, I am up and about trying to be part of the action. 

I don’t want to miss a thing..

Look I am so talented I can do this with my eyes closed…. or …..hmmmm….. is that your nose Pooh Bear?   GROSS!

My cousins, in California, (and my Great Aunt Nori too) sent me the cutest special little package today.  Here is how it came wrapped…. so cute…

And here is what was inside! 

Also, there was another special surprise… which I will model on my special day for you too…

Thank you so very much everyone…. I am the luckiest princess ever!

I have a few more shots of my SUNDAY (love it day) at camp.

Are my eyes still blue?

So here I am lazin’ and hangin’ at Camp Nana, thinking about the fact that in just weeks… (can’t be saying how many exactly, but…) in no time you will be here… and we can hang together…. you will love camp…. especially Nana’s singing… it grows on you…

Until I write you again… please know, I am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Sweet Baby Dancin’ the Day Away!

Dear Mom and Dad,

I am told it is SWEETEST DAY, who knew a whole day dedicated to me!  I had a great day and was THE SWEETEST BABY as usual.   I went to the store to get something for Poppy.  He has an important lecture on Monday, and Nana is making something for all of the people coming.  So we needed supplies.   When I got back… all the campers were home from work and school… and the fun began.

If you ever wonder how my Saturday afternoons are spent…

Here it is, today it is me dancing the day away….

and then there is the Beyonce Baby Dance…

As you can see, I am having a blast…and dancin’ my little buns off…

Please remember I love you very much, and when you come to visit, I want to dance with you two!   Until tomorrow, I am as always,

Your LITTLE MISS ADORABLE, YOUR DANCIN’ BABY…

Guillianna!

Chicken and Rice & ALL THINGS NICE!

JUST HANGIN’ AT CAMP NANA!

Dear Mom and Dad…

Rumor has it, my love letters are a bit “heavy” these past few days, and well Nana, has just been dealing with some ‘Nana-stuff”, as I call it, since it sounds better than OLD LADY STUFF or ‘silly Nana stuff”.  So tonight I have more questions…

How many days do you have to reside in a state before you get the title, MICHIGANDER…. OR MICHIGANIAN?  And does this mean I am no longer a Texan?   Nana says… I am a GuguBearian, and that is what I will be no matter where I hang.  

Does the color PURPLE may – not as in the novel or movie, but the actual color, MAKE MY EYES LOOK EVEN MORE BLUE?  Nana and the beast, think so. 

There are so many things I wonder about… and I am telling you I MUST BE PART CAT… since I am SOOOOO CURIOUS about every single thing… as well as PART DOG, since I drool like Mr. Griff.  Wow  – he must have needed intravenous Tylenol when his teeth came in huh?  

 I had a good day today.

Food:   Breakfast oatmeal and “a bob”.

Lunch, Pasta in sauce, with peas and carrots with “a bob”.

Dinner – well I met GG-ma and Great Papa and we had chicken and rice – and “a bob”.

I worked the crawling muscles, and a bunch of Nana muscles…(ouch) but still, prefer to roll over and just take in the view…

Rolling to my destination is my preferred method of motion… but not for long.  I am soooooooooooo very close.   Sleep, hmmm, napped in the car on the way to dinner and for about 30 minutes after lunch, but pretty much, played and explored all day.   We went to my toy box and pulled out toys, and put some back that I had been playing with these past weeks.  So the toys in the box …. well they were like getting new toys again…. I think they were in the box because I was pretty small for some of them, and now… well I am ready and it was a lot of fun exploring all the stuff I hadn’t seen in forever!  ( yea I said forever as if I am wise with years rather than months) but there are toys there I don’t remember playing with before. 

Now you can see my purple hightops… cute huh?  I have to hide them when Miss Kristin comes, she told me… she has a shoe thing.   (It’s okayMiss K, so do I, so does my Great Aunt Nori, and my Aunt Allyssa  – so you fit in just fine at camp… hi to the horses!) 

Here I am showing off my balance skills…

I am telling you…. I want to walk… NOT CRAWL….

just get up and go go go.

I think when I do, ya’ll will be sayin’ “hey remember when we could catch her? ”

Me and my purple high top sneakers !  Coining a new phrase….PRETTY IN PURPLE…

Love It!

Tomorrow is Saturday here…and I have plans to dance with Aunt Arrianna… she wants to make a MUSIC VIDEO just for mom and dad… so… we will see how it comes out, and if possible Nana will put it up for you to see.  I need to rest up for the shoot, so good night for now mom and dad, and please remember that today as always, I am your LITTLE MISS ADORABLE, your little spirit stick, your daughter,

Guillianna!
