I'm back!

It’s been way too long since I posted. I kept asking Mommy to help and she would say in a couple days. A couple days is a long time. It’s been over two months! I’ve been really busy. I went to temple and learned the new year song. Mommy and me still sing it. Mommy says it's stuck in her head. I keep looking for it but don’t see it. Nana went home to Florida. I miss her a lot. Sometimes I go and play in her room. Oh, I turned three! All my friends came over and we went on the Tumblebus and had bagels and cookie cake. I got lots of presents. My favorites are my clubhouse and my light-up seal pillow. I sleep with it every night. I was Marshall for Halloween. I got a lot of candy but Daddy took it away. Sethy keeps getting bigger. I really like holding him and helping with his “buttons” and getting him his paci. He goes to the same school I go to, but I’m now in Preschool 2 and he is in the baby room. I don’t get to see him, but I like to wave when I pass his room. Sometimes I get in trouble at school for not listening. They make me sit by myself for a time out. I don’t like that. I’ve gotten good at zippering my own coat. Mommy says my fingers are silly because they like to stick together and not go into each spot of my gloves. Silly fingers! It snowed for the first time today so I needed them! 

Another visit to the dentist. This one
had a TV on the ceiling.

We visited Lauren for her birthday.
We have the same birthday month.

Cupcakes at school for my birthday.

Having a bagel at my birthday party.

M&Ms are my favorite candy.

Welcome to my clubhouse. Come inside,
oh come inside.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
I'm thankful for my family.

Me and Sethy. I'm a big sister. He is little.

Nana has moved in!

Poppi went home to Florida, but Nana stayed-Yay! I love going into Nana's room in the morning. She also picks me up from school. Nana is my best buddy. I love you Nana!

Nana!!!!

Party!

We had a party today. Everyone came to see me. Nana, Poppi, Aunt Heidi, Mya, Lauren, Papa Bob, Carol, Nannie Susie, Aunt Eleanor, Uncle Stanley...everyone! I wore a pretty dress and gave everyone tours of our house. I got lots of presents. My favorite was a pink dragon from Eleanor. Seth got presents too. He cried a lot when this lady did something to him. Mommy said the doctor was just checking him. The doctor has never come to the house before. I can't wait until our next party. Maybe Seth will like that one better.

They called the party a bris, but I don't know why.

I'm a big sister!

I knew it was coming, but I didn't quite believe it. I'M A BIG SISTER!!!! I have a brother, Seth. He is really cute. I like squishing his head, touching his face and tickling his feet. I'm the best big sister!

They came!

Nana and Poppy finally made it! I was so surprised to wake up and see them here that it took me a few seconds to realized it was really them. Then, I couldn't stop smiling... or talking all day! We had the best day. We went to the book store where I got a little green monkey I call monkey. We went to the indoor playground and I also helped Poppy with his big puzzle. We were so busy we forgot to take any photos. Nana promised me a special present if I have no accidents and pee and poop in the potty so I've been extra good. I wonder what I'll get.

Two weeks

Every day when I ask mommy when Nana and Poppi are coming or when Uncle Stanley or Aunt Eleanor are coming the answer is always two weeks. Two weeks feels like a really long time. That got me thinking, shouldn't the answer change? Something seems wrong.

I need a countdown calendar.

City detour

On the way home from New Jersey we stopped in the city to see cousins Phillip and Cori. It was fun running around in the park and playing at their home. We didn't stay long because we had to drive home to Massachusetts. I don't know why mommy and daddy complain about how long the road trip is. The drive flew by for me. 

What do you mean we've been in the car four hours?

Hello New Jersey!

Happy birthday America! We celebrated with aunt Eleanor and uncle Stanley in New Jersey. I kept forgetting uncle Stanley's name so I called him Joe. He thought it was funny. Papa Bob came with us and we had so much fun going swimming, seeing fireworks, helping aunt Eleanor in the kitchen, oh, and I got a Shrek doll. I didn't put him down all weekend. He's my buddy. I sure hope we can go back again.



Chatting with Aunt Eleanor poolside.

Just lounging.



Waiting for the fireworks to go boom, boom.

On a sugar high!

Look at me, look at me!

No fear, I climbed all the way up by myself.

It is scary coming down! Help!

At the sculpture garden.

Vacation Round-up

We visited Nana and Poppi this week!!! I got to ride in a tractor and go swimming a lot. (Mommy kept calling it a golf cart, but I like calling it a tractor.) Aunt Heidi, Mya and Lauren were there too and they brought PEANUT! I love peanut. She's my best friend. I had so much fun. I wish we lived closer to everyone.

I love my Nana!!!

Everyone say CHEESE. Oh, I want cheese!

 

Me and Peanut!

Lauren likes to watch shows with me.

Having breakfast with my cousins. 

I'm a really good mini-golfer!

I can't drive until I put my goggles on.

Get in Daddy. I'm ready to go.

Can I get my own frequent flyer number?

Special delivery

When I said to my teachers that mommy was ordering the baby online and it would be delivered to our home, all my teachers laughed at me. I don't know why it was so funny. That is how we get most other stuff.

Secret spiller

I told everyone at school today I'm going to have a baby brother and a baby sister. All my teachers and friends were so excited. My teachers were talking to mommy when she picked me up and mommy said there is only one baby. It could be a brother or a sister. Oh man, how will I choose?

Can you keep a secret? I can't!

Screaming art

Today we went painting. I made three magnets. One was Minnie, one was Mickey and an octopus. We were having a great time until daddy yelled at me not to eat the paint. It was so loud I got startled and started crying. Then I didn't want to paint anymore. A few hours later, I'm not over it. I keep saying, "daddy yelled." I may never forget this. On the plus side, daddy helped paint the rest of my magnets and they look great on our fridge.

Happy painter.

Stand back and watch how this is done.

Cheese yourself!

 

Cousin photo!

Cousin time

I love when Mya-Lauren visits. We get to hold hands and run down the street. We go to the park and play on all the swings and slides. I get to sit next to them at meals and they show me videos on their iPad. Oh--and they bring me toys!!! They got me the best train set and a Stuffy doll that sings! I hope they can stay forever.

It's great having two cousins. One for each hand.

All this excitement makes me tired.

Birthday build up

It's not even my birthday yet and I had TWO cakes. And I got a Mickey Mouse that sings my favorite hot dog song, and a Mickey puzzle and a Doc McStuffins. Did I mention it's not even my birthday yet. I can't wait for tomorrow!

This whole cake is for ME!!

Alright, get your picture. Can we eat it yet?

Yummmm....Chocolate!

Gabba!!!

Have you seen my Yo Gabba Gabba pillow and blanket yet? Aunt Heidi gave it to me and I love it. I even have my own special spot on the couch where I sit. (Mommy and daddy call it my hole.) I prop my pillow up, lean back, stretch my legs and yell, "YO GABBA GABBA" really, really loud! Mommy and daddy are always telling me to stop yelling. But I'm in a hole, so I have to scream extra loud so people hear me, right? It seems to work, so I'm going to stick with that. 

Why, hello, welcome to my hole. Come on in.

Mini top model

Did you know people get paid to have their photos taken? There is something called modeling where you get your photos taken in what's called a photo shoot. When we were in New York we had our first family photo shoot. I posed and had many different smiles. I had a big smile, a shy smile and my "I know I'm super cute" smile. We finally got the photos back this week. They look pretty good. Plus I finally got paid...in goldfish.

Family photo!

Me and my cousins!

Zoom, zoom!

Nana and Poppi and all us grandkids.

Holiday bubble trouble

Happy Jewish New Year! I can't wait to have my friends come over and eat at my special table for dinner tonight. I've already decided that I'm going to sit in the purple chair. I'm going to sit here all morning and save it. "Lexi chair." It also lets me plan. Do you see that gumball machine back there? Mommy doesn't know I know what it is. I haven't tried to play with it in a while. I'm tricking mommy. I know it has really yummy stuff in there. Can I tell you a secret? David and I are going to eat the gumballs. We're going to wait until all the mommies and daddies are busy talking and then turn and eat, turn and eat, turn and eat. You won't tell anyone of them, right? It will be the best new years ever!

Warming up my seat. Can you please pass
the matzo balls?!

Mini dog walker

My cousin's Mya and Lauren have a dog named Peanut. When I visited this weekend I got to walk it and chase it and pet it and hit it on the head with toys. He he he. The doggy didn't like being hit on the head. The doggy also didn't like being poked in the eyes or nose. Now that I think about it, Peanut is fussy. What Peanut did like to do was be walked. I held on to the leash real tight. Peanut only got away a few times. That's pretty good for my first time doggy walking, right?

This is Peanut's friend, Duke.

I'm a good dog walker.
