Category: Year 3

Hello everyone! How are things going? Life is GREAT for me! I have a HUGE new house to play in, and lots of fun with “outside” (except when I fall and hit my head on tile. and have to go to the ER and get my cat scanned)…anyways, I digress, where was I? Ohh yeah how great I have things right now. This just might be the best house ever! I have a great bedroom, it is very blue – Gramp Bill painted it for me, and Mommy, Gramp Bill, Grandma Nikki and I all helped hang up my wallpaper border (it is of trucks, dump tricks, front end loaders, cement trucks, and backhoes). I also have my tent up in it all the time (not just on the weekends when we were at the old house) and my books and some toys that Mommy said were “upstairs” toys (whatever that means…personally, I think my toys are my toys and I can take them wherever I want whenever I want, but that sometimes causes conflict with Mommy and Daddy and then I end up in time out and that is no fun for me) Don’t worry, I think I am wearing them down, and they will eventually come to see things as I do…just wait!

I still go to school 3 days a week, and that is fun – especially when we play outside – with the slides, and sand…Daddy thinks I am trying to secretly smuggle enough sand home to build my own sandbox with all the sand that I have in my shoes…but I am juts having fun! I still go to gymnastics (or ‘nastics) as I call it. I am really good now at front rolls (somersaults) and other rolls, and the bars are much fun too. I do a great front support said my coach and also great headstands. I am really good at the jumping part when we get to the trampoline too! Other than that, I spend my time at home with a variety of people, including Vickie, Grandma CC, Grandma Nikki, Gramp Bill, and of course Mommy, Daddy and my baby sister Lauren. I also get lots of visit from my Auntie Shy Shy, since she lives so close to me now!

Some of my favorite things right now are my Lego’s, my Thomas the Trains are still fun, and I LOVE to play Rockband in the basement with Daddy -Go Yellow Submarine (I play the drums and don’t share or let Daddy use them!) I really like Bob the Builder and Handy Manny is great too – those would be my two favorites. I also really like to play with Daddy’s Tonka trucks that he has “let” me use…but he plays with them too! I also like to play board games (Candyland and Chutes and Ladders) Super Why still rocks and now that Daddy set up my very own computer which is upstairs in his office, I can go to their website and play word games with Super Why and Alpha Pig and the other Super Readers – I have lots of fun with that.

Well that is all that is going on with me…sorry it was so long, but as my parents post so infrequently, I figured it was a good idea to get everything out there now…who knows, maybe they will be more diligent with my posting…doubt it, but anything is possible!

Love
Alex

Happy Veteran’s Day!!! Oh and my parents are fired.

Even though the federal govt. does not see it, I am also a veteran. I did battle with Outside and I won!! If you don’t know what that means, last night I was reaching to be picked up by mommy but we missed grabbing each other and I fell straight back and my head cracked against the tile floor. I hit sooo hard that I had to think about crying. I thought I was fine as I went to ‘Nastics and played almost like normal. I came home and mommy asked for the fourth time on what color Panda Cat is. I of course said pink for the forth time. At this point, mommy and daddy load Lauren and I up and off to the ER we went. We get there and had to wait near people who looked like they might have this H1N1 thingy but we were in the opposite area. I get taken back to a room and am told that they need to scan my Cat (a cat scan). To protect Panda Cat, I screamed and yelled so that they were not able to do it. I am sure daddy drugged me because I fell asleep like 30 minutes later and then they snuck me in and scanned my cat. Needless to say, the test came back normal and I was sent home with rest in my future. Mommy says that this will probably the first of many visits to the ER, I don’t know what she means.

Other than my ER visit, mommy and daddy have pretty much cleaned up all of the stuff after the move. It is kinda cool because in setting up his office, daddy was able to setup a new computer for me. It is a Mac. Daddy say boo, but yeah since it will be harder for me to break. He also says Gramp Bill should get one cause he is tired of fixing his.

Mommy and Daddy also picked up a new game for the Wii. I now have the Beatles Rock Band and I am a natural at the drums.

Well, it is time for me to go eat some food and make sure that my mommy coes home since I have been with daddy all since the war injury.

Hello all…it is I Super Alex here. OK so I am combining a bit of Elmo (not my favorite anymore…but will still work in a pinch) with my new favorite  Super Why. My Mommy and I found Super Why this summer on PBS and I LOVE IT! It a great show with my favorite character being Alpha Pig. I am giving all of you readers of blog a BIG THUMBS UP!

So let me tell you what is new with me. I know my numbers 1-16 or so…sometimes I get up to 20, but it is a safer bet with 16! I know all my letters and can spell my name. Mommy is helping me learn to write it (since I make her write it over and over and over again) Mommy says I am very smart but could I get just the hang of the potty…I am not sure I like that idea at all.

I have spent lots of time helping Daddy with various projects. If the involve a hammer, or drill, or screwdriver..then I am your helper! I get this from Bob the Builder…another new Alex favorite.

My baby sister is getting bigger, but she isn’t as big as me (although Daddy says she is almost 1/2 my size and thinks that is funny…I don’t though

I still go to school 3 days a week and then (since Mommy has now gone back to work) I will spend one day with Lauren and Grandma CC and the other day with Lauren and Grandma Nikki and Gramp Bill

I have also been helping Mommy in the kitchen. I have made Banana Bread and Chocolate Cake. Mommy says we are a good time…I agree!

Gotta go eat and get ready for gymnastics

 Super Alex

Hello again everyone. As you can see, my parents are becoming more diligent about keeping up with my posts…it is about time. I have only been after them for some time.

So I don’t think I told all of you this, but my parents have signed me up for a gymnastics class. I go to gymnastics twice a week in the evening (Tuesdays and Thursdays). Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I go to school – which is a lot more fun for me this year that it was last year. Now in the mornings, I eat my “animal” (Danimal yogurt) and then Mommy makes my lunch and make sure my Thomas backpack has my Dino blankie and Quincy (and a paci) and I say bye bye and out the door I go with Daddy – no tears or big issues like last year. Mommy says I am growing up – but that I will still always be her lil’ monster forever! Isn’t my Mommy sweet?!

I have also been helping Daddy out lots with his home improvement projects. I help him with using a screwdriver and drill and lots of that kinds of stuff. I am getting much better at helping, so I get to do so much more stuff with Daddy -that is really cool and fun.

I love construction trucks and equipment, and make my parents drive past all the construction spots (which since we live in Wisconsin Daddy and Mommy say that there are lots and they are not hard to find – something about there being only two seasons in Wisconsin – winter and construction)

I will make my Daddy post a picture of my new Alex blue room on my site – it is the best room ever!

Night Night all

Wow – so much has happened lately that I am not sure where to start. I have a baby sister named Lauren. She is a very good baby sister and doesn’t bother me too much. She needs my mommy to feed her and sometimes I don’t think she should be eating (like when I want juice, a snack, food, or my mommy to play with me) but othewise all is going well.

I have a great new room in my HUGE new house. The Alex room is blue (two colors) and has trucks on the walls for a border and my Cars poster along with the alphabet. It is a really cool room. My mommy says that it used ot be her room when she was little – that is pretty neat!

I also have a HUGE GIANT room for all my toys that is “outside”. I am able to jump and run and play in there and not get yelled at. I love that room.

I also now go to school 3 days a week and gymnastics 2 nights a week . I guess you could say I am a very busy little monster.

Tired from gymnastics class – I will make my parents write more often (especially my daddy since my mommy has to have special Baby Sister time)

Alex

Life as a Big Brother is pretty good. I get to open up lots of presents, and my Mommy even lets me hold Lauren. I also get to use Daddy’s camera lots – which is tons of fun.

Right now I am helping my Mommy (and Daddy I guess too) pack up my house. We are moving! I am excited. I chose new colors or my room (which Mommy says used to be her room when she was little). Dark Blue and Light Blue – I got Grandpa Bill to paint it for me. I am going to go help him later…can’t wait to play with the paint!

The other night my parents took me to Scamps – where I got to run around and jump and not get yelled at by Mommy. I really don’t know why I can’t jump on the couch. Why would my parents gets such a big couch that is so bouncy if they didn’t want me to run and jump on it? Anyways that was lots of fun…I think I might be going back there, we’ll see soon!

Gotta go get ready to paint my room – I will make sure Mommy gets some photos!

Love

So Mommy, Daddy, and Baby Sister Lauren came to CC’s house to get me today and return me to my home. I was very excited to see my kittie cats – Panda and Gizmo – but I still haven’t seen Gizmo. Panda and I had a great time (at least I did) brushing her, and hugging her, and giving her treats!

I am not to sure about this Baby Sister Lauren thing. She doesn’t seem to do too much – except eat, sleep, cry, and need her diaper changed. I did talk with her though, and sang Itsy Bitsy Spider to her too! I think she liked that – Mommy said she was awake and watching me.

Daddy tried yelling at me when I was jumping on the couch again. But I didn’t really understand him. He said something about your week of no rules is over. It is against the Alex Convention for any Grandparents to have rules for an Alex (unless the involve safety -that was a Mommy Amendment). Since I spent the last week with Grandma CC, Grandma Nikki, and Grandpa Bill – and since I have them all where I want them, I am able to do pretty much what I want too and when I want too. For instance, the other day when I didn’t want to nap, I told Grandpa Bill that I would do so for a Happy Meal – I ate the Happy Meal, but still didn’t nap! I also talked Grandma CC and Auntie Barb into taking me to the State Fair yesterday -where I was an eating machine. I sure did have lots of fun with all of my pseudo parents!

I know she has to be on a special blue/green light so that she can get better – I hope that is soon.

Off to bed for me – had a long day of readjusting

I am having a great time on my “vacation”. I have been at Grandma CC”s house (also known as my house) for a long time now. I haven’t seen my parents since yesterday, and I kinda miss them, but I have so much fun with Grandma CC, Grandma Nikki and Grandpa Bill, Barbara, Vickie, and Auntie Shy Shy too.

I spend lots of time outside on my swing set – I love the swing, I keep saying go higher…and sometimes they do, but other times they say I am high enough…I don’t think that is possible! I love to water flowers and cut grass. Writing in with my chalk is also much fun. I also really enjoy running through CC’s house in circles. I think I may have worn out CC, Vickie, Barbra, and Grandpa Bill – I think Grandma Nikki is a ninja – she can keep up with me…how is that possible?

I think there is going to be some sort of suprise for me tomorrow. I heard something about swimming in a hotel with Daddy…that means Mommy will be there too…so I am pretty excited, but I don’t know for sure what is really going on. I will let you all know about my day tomorrow tomorrow!

Love

Alex

Grandma CC and my good friend Barbara and I went to a place called the hospital. When we got to this place, I got a really cool balloon for my sister (mommy said it was really more for me) and I got a new t-shirt that said Big Brother, and I also insisted on CC buying some new socks for Lauren – they say hop hop…which is something I am really good at doing and can’t wait to show Lauren how to do!

Anyways, I go down this hallway with CC and Barbara and guess who I find…my Mommy and Daddy too. I was really excited to see them, and they were excited to see me too! I gave Mommy and BIG hug and then decided to lick Daddy’s face fora kiss for him!

Mommy, Daddy, Barbara, CC, and Shy Shy, and I all went back down the hallway to go see my baby sister Lauren. Daddy picked me up to see her through the window. She was very blue (Mommy said it was because of the lights that she was under, and Daddy said she is actually yellow right now) but I think she was cute. I waved at her (she didn’t wave back) and I blew kisses to her (she didn’t respond) but I am pretty sure she knew I was there.

I am very excited to have her come home…Mommy and Daddy say that should be soon!

Love

Alex

So, my parents have pawned me off to Granny CC. I love CC, but why are they doing this to me. First no posting when daddy has had plenty of free time, not cutting the grass when I specifically ask him to do it so I can help and this whole cleaning for moving thing.

Mommy says she is going to the hospital to receive the delivery of Lauren. I am wondering that in this day, the stork would have GPS and would be able to find the house. I guess daddy is to cheap to pay for the upgraded delivery and so mommy has to go to the hospital to pick her up.

I hope I like Lauren, mommy says I will, but if she is like Panda Cat, it will be hard to decide.

Well off to bed as it has been a very eventful day for me.
