What's a burrito?

I love blankets! Have I mentioned that before? All kinds - colorful, fuzzy, soft, satin, big, little - all of them! I learned a game that my Mommy loves. It is called peek-a-boo. She loves it so much that when she puts me to bed, she'll stay just a little longer if I play this with her. I take my blanket, put it over my face, mutter a lil something (supposed to sound like "where's Evelyn", but I haven't quite figured out how to use this tongue for anything other than wet, slobbery kisses) and then yank the blanket down real fast. She just laughs and laughs. I really don't think she knows where I went and then is so happy once she sees me again.... Then, I do it all over again. I'm tellin ya, she eats it up!

Since I practice using my hands so much playing peek-a-boo, I am really good at grabbing blankets. The other day, I was on my favorite colorful blanket on the floor. I grabbed one side of the blanket, and without even thinking, I rolled. Next thing you know, my entire world looked like a kaleidescope. I looked left, I looked right, I looked up, I looked down - all I saw was my beautiful blanket, all around me. Just at that moment, Mommy came into the room and called me a burrito - I'm not sure what a burrito is? She was really laughing hard, so I am pretty sure it is not a compliment. But she did rescue me from the blanket (which had pretty much swallowed me whole) and I'll be sure not to do that again. Well, at least after the second time - because I did it again the very next day. As I was on my way over, I remembered that it wasn't such a hot idea to take the blanket with me when I rolled.... thankfully Mommy was right next to me that time (yes, laughing again and calling me a burrito). Maybe now I'll learn - maybe yes, maybe no.

Mommy put me and Sissy into some beautiful pink and blue dresses today and took us out. I thought I looked stupendous and so did this stranger lady. How do I know? Because she just kept on taking my picture. She must not have any babies of her own (or 4 year olds either because she took pictures of Sissy, too) and wanted to make sure she had some pictures of us to put in her house. She kept setting me different ways and having Sissy hold onto me (and we all know she isn't so gentle). I was kind of OK with this at first, but then it just got downright annoying. That silly flashing light and the tickling red feather. I had enough - and I let her know. I think she took nearly 100 pictures of us. I was pooped! I just wanted to chew on my toy and take a nappy! Sissy said she was tired of smiling and her mouth hurt, but she somehow mustered up the energy to chew on those fruit snacks afterwards (and she didn't even share).

I am not sure what is going on at home. Daddy was busy with some pretty blue tape and bright lights yesterday and when I woke up this morning - the living room was SO bright! It used to be all pretty red (which sure was pretty with the Christmas tree), but now it is bright white. Well, part of it. He is busy with those bright lights again and now the edges are a different color. He told Sissy it is called "hot chocolate". She is pretty upset that it isn't red anymore (that is one of her favorite colors) and she told Mommy that even Cinderella is so upset. I thought Mommy might want to make it red again knowing that even Cinderella is upset, but it still isnt' red.... I haven't had any hot chocolate yet, but I think it looks like something Mommy quickly puts into the diaper genie.

Well, it is nearly my beddie bye time. I have been having some trouble eating so I have to have another test on Friday. I hope that it goes well. Mommy is a little nervous about what the outcome will be and that she is praying for clear results. I guess I had better pray, too.

Love to all,
