Daddy was home from work again today, and Mommy didn’t give him any drugs, so she decided that he was “fit” to take care of me. Mommy got Daddy an appointment with physical therapy and I had to go with since Mommy was still at work. Well I decided to have issues for Daddy. While Daddy was giving his history, I felt ignored, so I decided that I needed to be fed..then changed. Later when they hooked him up to the electrodes, I decided I needed attention. Since I was fed and clean, Daddy gave me his finger to chew on. I like that now…chewing on Daddy’s or Mommy’s finger is much fun…better than most of my toys! So that worked for a while, but then I ran into Brianna and Emma (her daughter) I have seen pictures of Emma, but now I got to meet her in person. She is very nice and cute too! So Daddy still had to get treatment, but he just pawned me off onto Brianna and Emma…which was fine with me! I like them!

In the evening, Daddy and Uncle Jimmy went out to a fish fry and I hung out with Mommy and Grandma CC at Grandma’s house. Grandma put me to sleep, and when I came home, Mommy changed me into my pj’s (a sleep sack) and I didn’t wake up until the next morning (I slept from 8:30 until around 5:30) Mommy says I am a good sleeper…I like keeping Mommy happy…she feeds me and changes me and well is my Mommy!

Daddy stayed home from work today because of his injury. Mommy was up and dressed for work. I was fed and changed and ready to go back to sleep for a while and hang out with Daddy (to take care of him since he can’t take care of himself) Mommy was all set to leave the house, she made sure that Daddy had a phone, the remote for the tv, and water to drink. Earlier she had given him some meds, and I guess they had a weird effect on him, because before I new it, I was in the car on the way to Gradma’s. Mommy kept saying that Daddy would be fine, but he was “out of it right now and needed to be home alone”. Personally, I think Daddy is “out of it” most of the time and I didn’t see any difference, but I guess Mommy did!

Mommy and Daddy came to get me from the office early because Daddy had to go get magnetic. Mommy and I waited and waited and waited in this place appropriately called a waiting room for Daddy to get magnetic. The people at Kenosha Radiology were very nice and told me how cute I was and how good I am. I kn0w both of those statements are true, but I still don’t tire of them!

After Daddy was done getting magnetic (Grandma CC said that it was an MRI test) we all went back to my office to wait for a new doctor to see Daddy. They have decided that Daddy is screwed up (I could have told them that) and that the only way to fix him is to cut him open. What they are going to do is scope his ankle (Grandma CC told me that). Can’t wait for that to happen. Daddy will be on his own…Mommy has to care for me first! Wiat til Daddy finds that out! Don’t worry, I won’t let Mommy forget about Daddy…ok not too much!

It is Wednesday, and you know what that means…I spend the entire day with Daddy. I have warned my Mommy not to leave me unless I am supervised by an adult, but I guess she thinks (wrongly so) that Daddy qualifies. He had the web cam going, so Mommy could watch me and make sure I was ok.

I did get to see Mommy sooner than I thought I would. She and her “Bridges Boys” (the guys she works with) Ryan, Matt, and Stephen, met me and Daddy for lunch at Red Robin. I had fun. It was kinda like a guys night out…except Mommy was with us! I spent lots of time with Ryan (a fellow Cub fan) and he and I hatched a plan to get girls. I don’t think Mommy will go for it, but I might be able to wear her down!

In the evening, Daddy decided to hurt himself. He was getting his lazy butt off the couch, when something went wrong in his leg, or back and he was out for the count. Grandma CC came right over to try and help him, but in the end it took drugs to fix him for the night. Wow it sucks to get old!

Later all

Well, it has been a bit since I have posted, but life has been a bit crazy and busy lately. (As you will read if you continue following the posts for the rest of this week)

Today I spent the morning with Grandma CC at the office being a “consultant” again. My scrubs still haven’t arrived. I will have to inquire as to where they are! In the afternoon, my Daddy picked me up…but before he left the office with me, he and my Grandma decided that my fingernails needed to be trimmed. I didn’t agree with them, but they won.

Later in the afternoon, Mommy came home to be with me and a friend of hers come over to visit me. Her name was Michele and she plays the cello. She is very nice, but I wasn’t too nice to he. I was fussy and cranky for no apparent reason, but I did enjoy hanging out with her.

Thanks all for now

I hate Monday’s. They are just evil. I have this nice weekend with my parents (especially my Mommy) and then she has to go back to some horrible place called work. I get to hang out with my Grandma CC and there are even some days (and afternoons) where I get to play with my Daddy, but it just isn’t the way it used to be. I kinda miss that. Mommy says not to worry that something called Spring Break is coming and that we will be together for more than a week! I am very very excited for this Spring Break.

Anyways, I played consultant again and I always like doing that. Ashley got to hold me at the office, and I had lots of fun with Auntie Barb. I like Kim and Breanna lots too. And of course Mrs Wick is great too! Ok so I like all the ladies of the office lots. I guess you could say I am already a ladies man! Ha Ha. Mommy says I am too young for girls, but Daddy says way to go!

Daddy had to take Panda Cat to go see her doctor today, but don’t worry, she is going to be just fine! I like to play with her and Daddy when we all play together!

Off to bed

What an adventure I had today. I spent a lot of time in the car today, and I enjoyed it! I love my car seat. It is warm, supportive, and comfy…almost like being back inside of Mommy…I just don’t get fed when I want! We went to visit Grandma and Grampa Thomas and Uncle Don Human in Walworth. I had fun there while Daddy set up a computer for them. Grandma, Mommy, and I played on the floor together. I showed Grandma and Grandpa how good I can hold my head up when I am on my tummy. I also “talked” a lot for them too. That was fun. We all left and went to visit my Great Great Uncle Ole. That was fun…I had more pictures taken, and let me tell you it is not that easy to keep looking cute for all my pictures, but I did it!

After hanging out with Great Great Uncle Ole, we all went to have lunch together at the Olive Garden. That was fun. Then Daddy decided to go look at tractors and that was kinda fun. I had a good day with my grandparents and have the pictures to prove it…just go look in my photo gallery.

My Mommy and Daddy are happy that I like car rides. They were talking about taking a trip to go maybe go see Granny Gayle and have fun in this place called “up north”…wherever that is!

Saturday is here. So I think Saturday’s are my most favorite day of the week. I get to spend all day with Mommy (and Daddy) and then I get to do it again the next day too! Had fun all morning and afternoon with my parents and kittie cats! For dinner, Daddy made ravioli and gnocchi (for Mommy). We went to a place called Tenuta’s. Mommy said that going to this place also makes me an official Kenoshan. They had lots of lights and colorful stuff.

For dinner, I invited Grandma CC to come over, and I made her hold me lots. Ok she wanted to hold me, but I just didn’t want to go to sleep. Mommy said I was “over tired” but you know how it is…I don’t want to miss anything! So when Mommy thought I was asleep (fake sleeping again for me) she tried to move me away from Grandma…BIG MISTAKE! Grandma put me back to sleep, and then when I woke up she fed me too! Mommy showed her our “bed time routine” and that was that!

I want to tell everyone about my song that my parents made up for me. It goes like this…

“Squirmy wormy, squirmy wormy Alex. Wormy squirmy, squirmy wormy Alex!” It is titled as the Alex Song, and it makes me smile! Boy are my parents goofy!

Love

Yeah Friday! I love Friday’s. Let me tell you why. That means I get to spend all weekend with my parents…Mommy and Daddy. But that doesn’t come until after Friday is almost over. Mommy took me over to Grandma CC’s in the early morning, and she and I hung out. I layed on the floor with Rugby…Grandma didn’t tell my Mommy until later since he is so HUGE! I like him lots…he is kinda like a giant, white, fluffy bear…but he moves on his own and makes lots of noise!

My Mommy came and got me from the office, where Mrs. Wick broke the news to Mommy that “I am a distraction” Personally, I think I am cute and and HUGE distraction, but so what? I like my office friends Kim, Barb, and Breanna. There is even a new friend named Ashley. (She hasn’t held me yet…I guess the ladies don’t want to share me – who can blame them!)

For dinner, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma CC, Uncle Jimmy, and I all went out to eat at Perkin’s. I hear that was my Great Grandma Evelyn’s favorite place to go in Madison. I haven’t been to Madison yet, but I am looking forward to going and seeing Bucky’s home!

Lots of love always,

Alex

Well it is a Thursday. Not much going on here today. Daddy left for work early today so that he could pick me up from Grandma’s office (where I continue to play consuitant…I am waiting for the scrubs that were ordered for me!) So I had fun at the office, and after Mommy came home from work, Daddy, Mommy, and I went back to Daddy’s work. We were there for the ground breaking of the new Student Union at Parkside. I got to hang out with Sue (who works in the Ranger Card Office…a work friend of Daddy…she is nice) and I also met Office Kurt! It was sad that I didn’t seem my friend Katie or my other friend Shauna…but I did see Marcy, DeAnn, and Steve. All nice and fun people.

Well I have to go make my parents play with me…tummy time sounds good and so does rocking!

Until later

So my Mommy did it again. I think this might be an every week thing. She went off to work in the early morning hours, and left me home alone with Daddy. I am so lucky to have Panda Cat here with me to supervise my Daddy. Mommy spent much of her time watching me on the webcam and so did my Auntie Sparky.

In  the evening, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma CC, and I all went to the parade comittee meeting, but first we stopped at this place called Big Star. Mommy, Daddy, and I were there last week. Mommy really likes that place and says that I am a true Kenoshan for having been there. I don’t get it…maybe I will when I am older! So I had a good time at the meeting, and once again rumbled the table. I made Daddy change me and that was fun. All the adults stopped talking and were shocked at how loud I was! It was too cool.

Off to bed,
