Express Yourself!

I have a confession to make. I have been extremely vocal lately, especially when it comes to getting my way. I have always been a "whiner" but I have taken it to the next level. Anytime my parents are around I will whine to get whatever I want or feel I need. My mommy pretty much ignores me and sings this song "Express Yourself" by Madonna. She sings to me that I should "Express yourself, you've got to make it, express yourself, hey hey hey hey (funny voice here). If you want it right now, baby show me how, express what you got, baby ready or not. Express yourself." With that invitation how can I deny her the pleasure of doing so!

My newest past time is staring at pictures of myself; infatuation at its best. Of course there are tons of pictures all around the house of me, but the ones I enjoy the most are on the mantle which requires that I be picked up so I can point and giggle to myself, and turn the picture around and wonder where the back of me went to. The other obsession I have right now is being outside. Every morning I wake up and demand a bottle. Then daddy goes and gets ready for work. Next thing I know he is heading out the door, leaving me behind to point and say "uh uh uh." Of course it's only 6:30 a.m. but the whining has just begun. I continue on until I can become distracted or leave with mommy to go to school. Upon returning home with daddy in tow, I point at the mantle wanting to see my pictures for a good five minutes. Afterwards, I begin pointing at the "uh uh uh" until we go outside for a walk. This usually satisfies me until I see mommy walk through the "uh uh uh." But its too late as I have to have my dinner and a bath.

I did forget to mention one thing about "uh uh uh." On July 3rd, I decided that my mommy was not moving fast enough for me. So I took the liberty of showing myself out of door...literally. Mommy came downstairs calling my name and not finding me, she headed out the front door to find me with my other love...the stairs! Yes, I have decided that I am old enough to play outside on my own. Needless to say, my parentals strongly disagree with this assessment and are buying new screen/storm doors. They tell me that these will be installed within the next week. Next entry...the great escape!
