Mommy’s Day Off
Momma didn’t have to work today and school was closed, so we dropped Jakey off at Debby’s and got to the Children’s Museum right when it opened. We headed straight for the bubbles area and I had some success with the bubble wands. I also learned how to point and shoot an air gun at some weather vanes. I learned a lot about air in general, as you can see from this photo of me in the windtunnel (of which I am not a big fan… ha ha… But seriously, it’s like a huge hand dryer and I don’t like those either.)
After I gave my rapt attention to each exhibit for an average of thirty seconds, we left and went to lunch at Momma’s favorite fish taco joint. I had some chips and guacamole and a quesadilla and rice.
It’s nice having a day to spend with just Momma. And no Jake. I think he will like to come to the museum with us next time, but it was nice having her to myself again for a day.

Liza’s Dictionary: Carryou
Since people seem to have a hard time understanding my vernacular, I’ve decided to add a new feature to my blog, word definitions, to help you along.
carryou (ker-ree-yoo) noun?
The act of having Mommy or Daddy transfer me from one location to another in their arms.
as in, “I want carryou.”
I learned it from Mommy and Daddy saying, “Do you want me to carry you?”
I seem to get less carryou since Jake was born.

Mother’s Day 2009
Happy Mother’s Day, Momma!
Daddy helped me make breakfast in bed for Momma today. Jake played his part in the surprise by keeping her in bed late while Daddy and I cooked downstairs in the kitchen. We made pancakes and eggs and coffee and juice. And a card.
Later, Joycee and Papa Gene came over and we all went to the arboretum and walked around. Papa Gene said I could spend the night in a tree if I wanted, but I preferred to go get something to eat. So we went for Thai food where I had a some of Joycee’s tofu salad. I stayed up real late again!

Frooooggy!
My favorite book to read lately is “Froggy Gets Dressed” by Jonathan London. I picked out this book at the library. It’s about a young frog who wants to go out and play in the snow but keeps getting reminded by his mama to put on more warm clothes. I help Momma read it by playing the part of Froggy’s mama and calling “Frooooooggy” at the appropriate times. Sometimes I also like to answer for Froggy by replying, “What?”.
