Croup Revisited

Well, turns out I couldn't quite manage to avoid a field trip to the hospital last night.  I have croup again.  I'm not quite as sick as last time but I still needed a little medicine at 2:00 am.  Luckily I only had to stay a couple hours and then I got to go home.  On the way home I asked mom and dad for a quesadilla and a hot dog.  They gave me toast and yogurt.  Lame.  Anyway, my doctor was all, "You're so awesome and special Juj!" and I was all, "I know!"  Okay, actually he said something about not being average and apparently that's not a good thing when it comes to croup so I'm going to check with some special doctors so I can stop having emergency room visits.  Plus, mom and dad aren't huge friends of Peep-Bonaduce.  But don't worry, Peeps, I'm already feeling much better!

Cute

Do you ever have a day where you're feeling extra cute and adorable? 

I mean, I know that I'm usually ridiculously good-looking and extremely charming.  But for some reason today I was off the charts.

That's probably a good thing - it helped mom and dad forget about how early I woke up (6:20 am) or how worthless my nap was (30 minutes).  (I tried to tell them it wasn't my fault.  I was all "Elmo wake up six hours."  I'm not sure they believed me.)

Turns out, my cute has a lot of powers.  Like when I say, "Hi mom, you all done napping mom?" mom is immediately ready to play.  And if I say, "Daddy, where are you?" daddy gets me out of my crib billions speedier than if I just chatter.

There's a lot of power in cute!

There's also a lot of power in sick.  I've been a very healthy toddler-peep so far.  One time I had a little belly-bug and one time I had croup.  That's it!  Well, looks like I'm lucky number three of sick.  I have a cough again.  Mom and dad gave me some medicine so hopefully I don't have to have an ambulance adventure again.

Sick isn't super fun but it makes mom and dad do anything I want!  You can't even believe how much Mickey Mouse Clubhouse I saw today (4 episodes) or how many books they read me (billions) or how much snorgling we did (hours).

Who knew a little cough meant I become Queen Toddler-Peep!?

Hopefully I feel better quickly, though another day or two of Mickey marathons wouldn't be the worst thing ever!

Chatters and Tables

Apparently I was really on fire today.  I'm a pretty chatty peep but mom was extra entertained by my chatters today, so much that she thought I better write them down so I don't forget.  Her favorites:

Dad was working in the office and I walked in and was all, "Oh dad, you doing some 'puter skills?"

*******

Dad:  (Burp)

Me:  "You in trouble dad."

Dad:  "What am I in trouble for?"

Me:  "Burp."

*******

(Over the monitor when I was supposed to be napping.  Napping is lame.)

"Okay bye mommy, daddy be home in a couple minutes six hours."

*******



Unrelated but equally as important.  My friends like to eat at the table.  I help Hanky-guy, Baby, Mickeymouseclubhouse, and Lion King all sit at the table in their assigned seats.  I feed them pizza, hot dogs and ice cream cones.  It's a pretty fun game.

Creeplets

The other day my friends Teaghan and Susie and Joe called me and were all, "Hey Juj, let's all get together and play games and toys and skills!" and I was all, "I'd love too!  And if you want I'll yammer on the entire time so no one else can get a word in!"

Since it was Valentine's Day we got to be festive and eat heart-shaped pizza.  It was delicious.  I even got to sit at the table like a big-peep.  And I only asked mom to clean my hands eleventy times while I was eating.  It's lame to have messy hands you know.

I got to work on my circle drawing skills with Joe.  He was very helpful when it came to cap removal for the markers.

I read some books with Susie and her mom too.  It was a little tricky because Susie's brother was taking up most of the lap space, but we tried not to judge him since he's still just a fetus-peep.

Later I decided to do some book-collection skills.

And of course, nothing ends a three hour playdate like a forced group picture with exhausted toddler-peeps.

Yes, this is the best we could do.  Okay, confession, my friends were billions more agreeable than me when it came to picture time.  It's just hard to sit when there are books to be read and cracker-bunnies to be munched.  It was a great time nonetheless and I can't wait to see my friends again soon!

Triplets

My twin friends came to visit me and guess what - they brought me a present!  Since we're such great friends they thought we should be pretend triplets too!  

I think we're pretty adorable triplets!

Happy Peep

Cupid-Peep

Happy Valentine's Day, Peeps!

I had an awesome day!  I got to play with my friends in the morning and eat heart shaped pizza!  There were chocolate brownies involved too.  Win.

The mailman brought me billions of valentines in the mail!  Thank you to Stacy, Nora, Sam, Hailey+Derek, Teaghan+Joe, and Great Grandma Sita for the best cards!

Later I got to paint with dad, work on my dancing skills and eat cookie and chocolate chippies!  Win!  It's important to have lots of treats on Valentine's Day.

I'm pretty sure everyday should be Valentine's Day.  I'm going to look into getting that arranged.

I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day too!
