color my world

Mommy and I were coloring this morning and I just didn't feel like it much. So, after completing a masterpiece, I wanted to read. Mommy left the crayons out. A short while later, I was left unattended for about 30 seconds. And in that 30 seconds, I colored ALL OVER the front door. Of course I picked orange to match my hair color. Anyhow...I wanted to put my masterpiece on the front door instead of the paper. Mommy won't forget to put the crayons away ever again.

I got my 15th cold of the summer on Sunday morning. Daddy was running when I woke up in my bed. I called for Mommy and she immediately heard the stuffiness in my voice. Oh boy, she thought. I'm coughing a lot. I coughed from about 4:30am until I got up at 6:45. This afternoon, I coughed so hard that I couldn't take my nap. Mommy rescued me and snuggled with me while we watched a little Elmo. I'm not two yet so there's no medicine that Mommy can give me...just Tylenol so I don't get a headache. She feels so badly...and so does Daddy. They love me so much, it's crazy!

Daddy puts me to bed most nights now because Mommy works at night. Mommy misses it so much, but Daddy is better at it. I fall asleep much quicker and with less sobbing then when Mommy does it. He tickles my back and my belly until I close my eyes and blow him a kiss. I'm a real charmer.

I skinned my knee for the first time yesterday. I actually didn't even notice it when I got up from the pavement, but Daddy did. He lifted me up and looked at my bleeding knee. I think he was proud of my toughness. I didn't even cry when I got it washed with soap and water. I am brave.

G'nite everyone!!! Love, TJ the Brave
