Very sad day

Yesterday, my dear friend Jeff aka Jeppy died. I love my Uncle Jeppy a lot. He was always very nice to me. He said it was because I wasn't a brat like other kids. But I know it was just because he loved me.

We all miss him a lot. If you're the type of person to pray please say a prayer for Jeppy's family -- Granny Nanny, Uncle Nerd, Bad Brad and Tortie Torte. Thanks

I don't get sick often, but when I do

I do it big!!! I am being treated for H1N1. Yep, swine flu. I started to spike a fever -- I got all the way up to 103.8 -- and my mom called the doctor.

He gave me some tamiflu and some antibiotics because my fever wouldn't go away. It's been about 48 hours that I've been on the tamiflu, and I'm starting to feel better.

The wait is over.... I am back

Where do I start? So much time has gone by since my last post, you are probably all in withdrawal....so sorry. My Mom has been busy traveling racking up those frequent flier miles, which I hope she uses on me. While mama has been traveling, I've been spending time at Papa and GG's house.

It has been fun there and also busy keeping those two in line. In the morning GG takes me to school and then picks me up. Most mornings she gets me a chocolate milk from Starbucks; it comes in a box. Some days we take Papa to physical therapy. When we're there, I get to play with these really big bouncing balls. Because my Papa's physical therapist is Uncle Josh's friend, I pretty much get to do what I want. It's the perks of knowing people.

The other day at school we went to Dinosaur Hill, but they didn't have any dinosaurs! That just doesn't make sense. I mean no dinosaurs at Dinosaur Hill, and pumpkins at the apple orchard.

My mom comes home on the weekends. I'm always happy to see her. A couple of weeks ago, Papa, Uncle Josh, Mom and I went to the Michigan football game. I had a major fit because I didn't want to wear my coat. "It bothers me." I couldn't even walk or eat popcorn. My mom got upset; she thought I was over reacting. I couldn't even eat my popcorn people! It dmore serious than that. She oesn't get gave me some options, and I chose to leave the game. We caught a cab to the mall where we parked. I went inside the mall, took off my coat and had a blast until Uncle Josh and Papa met us after the game. I noticed my mom didn't take me to the Michigan game this past weekend. Hmmm, wonder why...

Also, it is time for me to update you on my new Exciting Person of the Month. I am proud to announce Uncle Josh..aka Uncle Gosh.

Uncle Josh is the best. He always comes over to play with me and to help Papa and GG. Sometimes he brings me french fries from McDonald's, and he lets me finish his milkshake. He is a pretty good wrestler and good at Candy Land, but I am better. So join me in saying..."yeah Uncle Josh".

You know what happens when you cry for 13 minutes straight?

You throw up -- all over you and all over your mom. It happened last night. We were at Mannequin Night in Midland. The Northwood students pretend to be mannequins. It was kind of creepy to tell you the truth. But I digress -- as we were leaving, I made a bad choice. Then I made two more bad choices because I was too busy fooling around with my umbrella. My mom took the umbrella away and said I couldn't have it anymore that night.

I threw the biggest fit I have ever, ever, ever, in my 2 years, 10 months and 9 days of life thrown. I cried and screamed all the way home, in the garage and up the stairs at our house. On the third step, I coughed and that was it for me. I threw up on me and mom. I think my mom started to cry a little at that point, but it seemed to help me calm down. 15 minutes later, I was back to my normal charming self.

I hear my mom tell this story to GG, and my mom said, "Sometimes you just have to dig in when you've made a decision and show them who is in control." I have no idea what that means -- we weren't even digging in the dirt yesterday!

Aside from that, I had a good week. I was back in Midland so I got to see all my friends. I even went to Emma's house one night to play. I'm looking forward to the weekend. We have lots of fun stuff planned. I'll tell you all about it later.

Have a good weekend!

Remember me?

It has been just crazy the last 3 weeks or so. Uncle Butch was still in town, and my mom was still on the road a lot. I had a blast visiting with Uncle Butch, only sometimes I call him Uncle Toushie. Ha ha -- I crack myself up!

Uncle Butch and Uncle Josh and I play outside a lot. We play football, baseball, lacrosse and soccer. We also play my personal favorite "Hey, get me." This is when they chase me. They never catch me because I'm super fast. It's just like I told Uncle Toushie, "You can't catch me -- at all."

The Uncles, my mom and I went to the Michigan v. Eastern Michigan football game together. We had never gone to a game together. It was a lot of fun. The Wolverines won! My mom and I also went to the Michigan v. Indiana game together. What a nailbiter! But Michigan prevailed. It was Homecoming, and all the alumni band members and cheerleaders came back. Did you know that cheerleaders used to be guys and only guys? Wild isn't it? They did really cool flips, but it wasn't the same as the girls in short skirts!!! I'm just saying...

Since I can never get enough football, we also went to the Lions v. Redskins game. Guess what? The Lions won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was the first time they had won at home since 2007. We were really excited. When we got back to the car, my mom said it was a long game and then she remembered that the game wasn't that long, she just wasn't used to staying until the end.

All is well on my end. I'm having lots of fun and Papa's shoulder is getting better. I'll post another blog to fill you in on everything I've been doing.
