The Battle of the Banana!

Let me begin by noting that I am NOT in the best mood today. It all started this afternoon when I asked mommy for a banana. She gave me the banana but I promptly threw it on the floor. Mommy picked up the banana and gave it back to me. But I threw it on the floor again and announced "I do not want a banana!" Then mommy took my banana away. And even worse she wouldn't give me another banana. You should know that I have been doing this a lot recently. I decide I must have something (banana, cookie, piece of bread) and then decide I don't want it, and then decide I want it again. It's a pretty complex thought process. So back to the battle of the banana. Mommy told me that because I threw my banana on the ground twice I could not have it any more. Well, I let her have it!! I started yelling and screaming about how much I wanted a banana. It turned into a real tantrum...pretty ugly. I yelled so much about it that soon enough it was nap-time. Well. I was in no mood for a nap. I proceeded to tell mommy in the sternest of voices: "Mommy you will NOT take my banana away!" I must have yelled that into the baby-monitor 200 times to no avail. Eventually I got tired and fell asleep, but I'm still not happy.

Christmas Ornaments…better on the Door Knob

Happy Holidays! What an exciting time of year. Yesterday we got our Christmas tree and who knew a tree could be so much fun. But what I don’t understand is why you put ornaments on the tree? As you can see from the pictures I much prefer to put the ornaments on our front door. When mommy would put an ornament on the tree I would immediately grab it and stick it on the front door. I think they look GREAT on the door! Mommy didn’t always agree. I’ve also been watching a fair amount of Christmas shows. From what I can gather, this Santa Claus guy sure seems like something special. Daddy and I have been singing “Jingle Bells” and “Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer.” I am really good at singing “Jingle Bells.” And you might be wondering what I am doing in that third picture with my eyes closed. Well, mommy told me to say “cheese” when she was taking the picture…and that’s how I say cheese.
