today was my first day in america and man was i busy. i woke my mom up at 3.30am, well that's what time the clock said it was any way. my body said it was more like 8am, so i was all confused. mom told me just to sit quietly in bed. she gave me my science book to flip through. i sat and thought about stuff for awhile. i heard the birds starting to chirp so i asked mom to open the blinds so i could see the backyard. there was grass!
mom and i left the bedroom so dad could get more sleep. we went and sat in the front livingroom. we played on the computer for a bit. i had to go pee so i went off to the bathroom. i couldn't get to the bathroom though because i found a cat in the hallway and he was looking at me. i ran back and told mom. she said i shouldn't be afraid of hunter, he's just and old cat but very friendly. i am not sure. he makes funny noises at me. mom shooed him away for me though so i could pee.
eventually everyone else got up. i had a big bowl of crunchie pillows with raisins for my breakfast and a nice glass of orange juice. gdad took me, mom and my dad out for breakfast time to bob evans. it was pretty exciting. i shared mom's smoothie and ate all of dad's toast. the big people all ate tasty things and then we left for another adventure.
gdad drove us back to the house. he got out of the car and dana bunny got in. dana bunny drove us to a place called walmart. mom and dad got a cart and i got a cart with dana bunny. i helped her shop for things. we met up with mom and dad and then it was back home again for lunch and naps.
i ate a good lunch. mom made my usual peanut butter and jelly samich. i ate it up and then had a plum, delicious. after lunch mom made me take a nap. that was ok, i was kind of tired.
i probably could have slept for much longer but mom poked me awake around 4pm. what the hell woman. she dragged me out in to the livingroom and i had to say hello to my uncle matt and cousin ronnie. they were hanging out waiting for me. i just mumbled at them, i was not very awake. they had to go do stuff. i sat on the couch for a bit. my uncle richard showed up and i said hello to him before he left. it took me awhile but i finally woke up. mom dressed me up in my beach clothes.
when i was dressed it was time to get back in the car and go down to oxford. we went to some place called- the yacht club. there was just a bunch of old dudes standing around playing with remote control sail boats. oh and my uncle matt and ronnie were there too. they had a toy boat. i guess there was some kind of little boat race. we didn't stay to watch. dana took me and mom to the town park.
the town park is awesome! it's right next to the water. there are swings and a big slide and a wooden train. i went on them all. then i noticed- KIDS! there were a bunch of kids, all my age playing in the water. i went down and we all played together. it was great fun. there was lots of splashing and digging in the sand.
i had a nice long play and then ronnie showed up. uncle matt said he could come in the car with us. so dana drove me, my mom and ronnie out to the boat yard. i saw boats, and the pool! we only made a quick stop there. dana took us all back to her house.
ronnie and i ran around and around. we kicked balls and laughed. we played with an old rope. i pretended the rope was ringing a bell. ding ding, ding ding. dana let me and ronnie have jelly cups, so we had a nice snack and then ran around some more. it was a great time. uncle matt said that ronnie had to go home for his dinner so i said good bye to them.
dana made me a nice dinner of tomato soup and garlic toast- my favorite! i ate most of the bowl and then went back outside to play.
i sat with mom under a tree and we watched for flying bugs with glowing butts. they're called lightning bugs and they come out at sunset. mom caught a few so i could look at them close up. i was kind of afraid. dana bunny came out to sit with us and she brought me a green ice lolly. what a day. i ate my ice lolly and watched the lightning bugs float around.
i'm pretty tired so i'm going to get blueberry and head off to bed. tonight i'm going to try sleeping without any diapers. wish me luck
