This past weekend we decorated for Christmas. I love Christmas lights & I was so excited to have my very own tree for my bedroom. I can't wait for Santa to come with presents!
I was asking Mom & Dad for something in a not very nice way (basically demanding it & throwing a tantrum) Mom said “ Anders you need to calm down, use your words & say PLEASE”. I replied “I can’t say that word, it’s too hard to say please”.
Recently Mom & I went shopping at Tuesday Morning with Auntie Anna & picked up a few fun new toys. One of my favorites was a chain saw. When Dad got home, I was super excited to show him my new toy. I tracked him down in the bathroom doing some “paper work” And said ”Dad, You got one of these”? Dad said he didn’t. I told him “He could use mine whenever he wanted – OK DAD?”
We have been looking back at old photos from when I was little. There is one photo in particular that caught my eye… I was being held by one of Dad’s Paramedic friends – Sammy. A few days later while Mom & I were running errands I asked her about the paramedic with white hair & moustache holding me. “Why was he holding me?” I asked Mom replied “Well, he probably wanted a few cuddles from a cute little boy” “and I’m the bomb diggity right?” I asked Mom almost ran off the road laughing so hard.
Many of you know we recently lost Auntie Lynn – it has been a very sad time for us & we miss her. Mom & Dad try to explain the God thing, but I really don’t get it. On the way to the church I asked “Will God be there?” Mom Said “No, God is in Heaven, but his spirit is there.” I asked “He forgot it there?”
Also on the way to the church Mom said “There will be some cousins there to play with… Carson, Olivia, Cody & Brian…” “And Uncle Todd? Can I play with him?” I asked “He is funny, he is so funny, he dumps me over like a dump truck.” I exclaimed
On another day just before Thanksgiving while Mom & were headed to the Mall we were discussing our upcoming week. “Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday you will go to school.” “On Thursday we will go to Auntie Jan’s House.” “Friday & Saturday we will be at Grandma & Grandpa’s House.” She said “That’s my Best Place!” I replied back to her.
While waiting for my play date with Carson I asked, "Mom, What is Carsons' Mom's name?" "Annie" "Why?" I asked. "Because that is the name her Mom & Dad Gave her. Just Like Daddy & I picked out your name." "I picked out my own name." I said "You did??? Where did you get it from?" Mom asked "Chicago!" I told her.
On Black Friday, Dad & I got up early & we let Mom sleep in a bit. It must have been a rough morning on Dad, because once Mom woke up, Dad plopped down on the couch with a sigh. "Don't worry Dad, I'm Leaving for Tomah soon." I said.
This weekend we had the first snow. I loved it - I was so excited to go out & play in it. I mean really excited that I even wanted to help shovel & sweep the snow off the deck!Love, Anders
