Dictation and Love Letters to the Land of Sand!

Lisa January 5, 2010 0Comments

Dear Mom and Dad,

So here I am peekin’ a boo at you… through my little mail box.    Yep, I am just getting ready to have my love letter sent off to you… and figured, I would show you how it is done…

First I have to sit and give Nana dictation… so I climb up into my dictation chair, AKA “PRINCESS LAZY GIRL” Chair, why I am not sure, since I am anything but a ‘lazy girl’, this dictation stuff is hard work….. and trying to get Nana to get it right…. well that is a whole other ball of wax…

It is essential that a princess be comfortable when giving dictation, and bunny slippers, well they are a must!

Some folks, when doing public speaking imagin the audience in underpants… so when dictating to you and daddy, I have tell my story to objects around…like today’s object was a beany baby heart bear…

Sometimes I must go too fast for Nana, and I have to repeat myself, or start all over…

After I get my love letter completed, ( as shown in the little blue envelope above) I deliver it.. to the mailbox and Nana does computer magic, and whoosh… it’s there in the land of sand!   Cool huh!

After such hard work and having to repeat myself several times, I need a moment … this is my Zen moment…

Music is my favorite, I love it in most any form, proof of that is my ability to stay around Nana when she sings and dances… it’s not a pretty sight… but back to ME… a little Zen, a little piano… and I am good to go again….batteries recharged and ready to play play play again.

Love letters to you and dad is a process that involves all kinds of fun… and now you have seen the behind the scenes look at how it all works…

Hope things are good in the Land of Sand, and you enjoyed seeing your little Pot of Gold today.   I am a cutie… and have been so very good.   But did you expect  anything less?   Until tomorrow please know I am as always your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Hope all is well with the rest of my loyal readers… Best wishes from Camp Nana!

PLAY – PLAY – PLAY

Dear Mom and Dad,

I am loving all the things Santa brought …. I play all day it seems, even when I am learning I am just playing!  I think that I am just about the luckiest baby ever, you and daddy brought me so many things… and then the whole Santa thing… and the Campers, well they are just a blast!   My name should be “LUCKY Little Miss!”

Too cute!

I miss both of you very much, and there is no doubt it will be fantabulous when we are reunited for good, but I hope you both see I am doing great, and  let me say… the campers are trying their best to keep me distracted from missing you, entertained all the time, and teaching me all kinds of stuff …. Hopefully one day, you will both be thinking about how awesome you have made it for me by sending me to Camp Nana, and how I got to  get a great start, and prepare for a lifetime of fun with both of you.   There is no doubt the best place to be would have been with you both from the beginning, but this is alright for me, and most difficult for you guys.   I know your heart is lonesome for me, thus, I WRITE.   I want you to feel okay inside, and happy with where I am.   I won’t remember any of this, only from my love letters.   What I will remember is going to the zoo with you, and school plays, and art classes, or soccer.   Things like that, and I most definately won’t remember Camp.  I will have a photo of my lego chair, and that’s how I will know  I have my own princess thrown made of Lego by Aunt Arri, and look a Wonderpet that Santa brought me.   I am talking with Ming Ming of the Wonderpets, a personal favorite! 

We are almost a whole week into January… and it felt like two minutes passed us by … (at least to Nana)   so if we did a week in what felt like minutes, just think how fast these next weeks will fly by us…

Here I am, standing on my own, by the little princess thrown I couldn’t even hardly sit in  when I first came, I was soooo small!

I sat and posed for the Beast back last April and had to be propped up… but now, I stand before it and I’m in charge of it! 

Ha….

Okay, so who put ruffles on my butt?

Nana… did you put ruffles on my butt…?  

If you look closely, there is a little chair next to mine… it is a little ‘parlor chair’, that belonged to Nana’s Grandma… she used it to sit by the tub and bathe Nana’s daddy when he was a baby.   It is over 80 years old.   My version in pink is more comfortable, but it is cool that Nana has my Great Grandfathers  itty bitty baby chair.  

I had another great day… and yes, I listened to the WIGGLES AGAIN today, but … you know… they make me smile.  Another thing I love are my “spitties”, and one just isn’t enough, I like two or three at a time!

Until tomorrow Mom and Dad, please know I love you both and am hoping you will see how happy you made me by letting me hang at Camp Nana… you made all the campers happy too… and I think if you look at all the photos it is written all over my little face how happy I am.   As always, I am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

IT’S ‘FREEZING’ HERE!

Dear Mom and Dad….

So it was really chilly here today… the windchill should have been called WIND FREEZE!    It was a quiet Sunday…. had some time to sing and dance with the WIGGLES,  and love them VERY MUCH!  Above I have written my New Years resolution down…and its a good one!

I am becoming more and more mobile… crawling all over, and let’s just say the campers have to keep a close eye on me, because I love climbing on steps or anything I can climb on.    Hey, what is a resolution anyway?

I am hoping all is well in the land of Sand.   Did you make any New Year’s resolutions…?   My New Year’s resolution is to be cute and adorable….

Until tomorrow, I am as always, Your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Family Dinner and Relaxing…

Lisa January 2, 2010 0Comments

Dear Mom and Dad,

I have been relaxing with the campers tonight.  It was another celebration since Miss K is back from the Land of Cheese…and it was so nice.   We had been waiting for her visit to exchange holiday gifts.  It was nice to see everyone happy.  We were all in casual clothes or jammies… and we just sat and had dinner, and then after presents, we watched a video of you when you were small and first came to Camp Nana!  For an added bonus, I got some gorilla blocks which are like huge lego building blocks big enough to make a princess thrown, or a little castle for me.   They were cool.  

I am working on this standing on my own thing… and doing good at it.   I am not really walking around any tables yet, so when I do, I am sure Nana and the Beast will capture some form of it.  Here I am in my princess tutu again!

I am telling you,  I have this  WHERE IS YOUR NOSEY thingy down…

And I am pretty cute when I do it, but sometimes, I miss, and well get a little distracted, it is fun to play with those nostril thingy’s!

But still ADORABLE!

I am pulling myself up on things, and it will probably be soon that I start walking, but these little legs are the cutest thing ever aren’t they?

I am going to be getting busy pretty soon here…

Gonna get Nana to drop a few pounds chasing me I bet!

It is hard to believe that the holiday’s have passed, and your R&R has passed so quickly.

I think that the best part of that is it means that the next time you make that trip it will be to come back to stay in the USA with me!  Until tomorrow Mom and Dad, I hope you had a good day, and that you enjoyed seeing me today, I know I have fun posing, and playing for you and the beast!  As always, I am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

P.S.   Special thanks from all of the campers to Miss K for the great holiday together!   We are so lucky!     Nite for now… and see ya’ll in the EALY morning… BRIGHT EYED, AND READY TO GO!  Who knows maybe we can watch the ‘Wiggles” together AGAIN!
