Yesterday was an acceptable day.
Now that I am two years old, Armada keeps saying I must act my age. So I have been trying to show my maturity and be more helpful. Mom and Dad have been letting me sleep in their bedroom for the past few nights. Armada likes to sleep on Mother's feet and take up a lot of the bed. Being the nice brother that he is, Armada placed a pillow beside the bed just for me to sleep on. This lets me be beside Mom and sleep comfortable. He is such a thoughtful brother. Mom's alarm clock goes off very early in the mornings and she seems to struggle waking up. I have found this as the perfect opportunity to show my new found maturity. The last couple mornings, I have jumped up in the bed and licked Mom and Dad on the head until they are able to move. Then I go lay on Dad's pillow/head and kiss him until he pets me. What better way to wake up that by kisses? I know Mom appreciates my kisses. She is waking up much faster. I see her roll around waving her arms saying "uuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh". I am pretty sure that is her way of saying "Thank you" since this normally gets Armada to go kiss her too.
Dad is continuing to play tug with me during the day and playing games like bring it and take it. Recently he has made me wait to take it and he holds my toy to his side before he lets me take it. He just keeps messing with the games. I play along but maybe I am too old for these games now? I will keep playing for now since its so much fun but I will keep thinking about it.
Yesterday, we went to Aunt Momma's house to play. It was very different though. We got there and it was raining. When Dad let Armada and I out of the truck, we both ran down to the pond and jumped in to make sure the water was still safe. I would hate for Mom to get in the water and it not be safe! Thats when things got weird. Instead of playing in the water, we went running on the hill. I was very good and came back to Mom and Dad every time they called me. It is nice that Dad gave me food when I came back. Once we got back, I was very tired. Armada and I had so much fun being able to run all over the place. Armada had disappeared though. I played with Mom and Dad in the pond. They had a very fun game we played. Mom was in the pond and Dad was out of it. I got to run/swim back and forth between them and they gave me food just for going. I did really good until Mom was way out in the water. Dad was so far away I was confused. So Mom swam with me back towards him until I went to Dad. I need to practice that game some more.
Once we finished playing at the pond, we went down to Aunt Momma's house and I found Armada. I dont know why he didnt stay up at the pond and play with us but I guess it was his choice. Since I was so dirty, Aunt Momma gave me a bath. Then I played with Mommy Doodlebug, Armada and Jack. I couldnt play much. I was just too tired.
After we got home, I was ready for bed. Dad let us go back upstairs to Mom and Dad's bedroom to sleep. Mom was folding the weird cloth toys they wear. Since I am more mature now, I knew I needed to be good. So I laid down on the floor to patiently wait. Finally Mom and Dad went to bed. I KNOW Dad wanted to cuddle. I jumped up on the bed and laid down on Daddy's pillow so I could cuddle his head, and I fell asleep.
