Mommy's Little Gentleman

       Hi guys! i'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. Mommy hasn't been leaving her computer up during her naps :(
       The other day I learneded that I am growing up to be quite the little gentleman! (well, that's what Mommy said) When we were going bye-bye at the courthouse (after I said bye to all the pretty ladies and Mommy stopped chasing me across the lawn) I asked Mommy if I could carry her purse for her. Now, I have no idea what Mommy puts in there, but it must be her 15lb dumbbells. I had a hard time lugging it across the sidewalk, but I was committed to my task.
       Mommy kept saying she really wanted a picture of it, but her phone was in her purse. After walking miles and miles back to the van (I'm pretty sure that's how far away we parked. It took for-ever!).
       I've also been learning to do other awesome stuff, like bring Mommy her shoes, or help her clean up messes I make (but I don't know WHY she insists on washing my hands and hair all the time. I make masterpieces, not messes!).

(Mommy washing finger paint {or was it lotion?} out of my hair)

            Well, I gotta go buh-bye's before Mommy wakes up! Talk to you later!

I Got Stuck!

  This weekend was Amber's birthday! (I wish it were mine-I want presents!) I helped get ready Saturday morning by pulling out Amber's tea party stuff. Then, I went into Mommy's room and she helped get the teapot off my arm. See, I stuck a spoon in there, and it wouldn't come out, so I stuck my hand in to grab it, but once I grabbed it, I couldn't get my hand out! It was stuck!
    Mommy wasn't much help at first. She just laughed and took pictures. When she was done, she told me to let go of the spoon. Yeah, right. I'm trying to get it out of the tea pot. So Mommy reached in and pried my fingers from the spoon. I was so sad! After she pulled my arm out, she shook the spoon out! I was so amazed!
    Here's a pic my Mommy took of my arm in the tea pot:

Trash Pickin'

   I don't know why, but Mommy and Daddy sure get upset when I try to help.  I like to lift the lid and look in the tall white thing in the kitchen.  I like to see what Mommy and Daddy put in there.  Sometimes, there's food.  Sometimes, I eat the food.  I get in trouble when I do this :-(  I don't know why-I'm just trying to feed myself so Mommy and Daddy won't have to do it later.  I really am trying to help.  Sometimes, there's neat, shiny stuff.  Sometimes, there's paper.  Today, it was watermelon.  It still tasted good, so I ate some... Then I ran away with it.  Mommy chased me down.  She scolded me for taking it.  I almost cried!
   I saw Daddy take the bag out today.  It was full.  He didn't come back inside afterwards. (I'm pretty sure he's taking it to work and eating all the stuff Mommy won't let me eat.)  I helped Mommy by putting the lid back on.  She took it off, though, to put an empty bag in....and fix the lid.  I sure hope I see some more yummy stuff in there.  I really, really am trying to help...
