Papa and Me...

Papa says I'm a good boy some of the time. He says I'm a better baby than Mama was when she was my age.  Mama says Papa's memory has crashed.  Sometimes Papa  helps me to get dressed and gives me a bath.  I'm short so Papa makes me pick up things off the floor for him.  Papa and I like to eat popcorn.  I got a computer for Christmas, and Papa puts it on his desk so I can help him work.   Sometimes we ride the tricycle or the worm and now we play with our new wagon.  Sometimes Papa wants to share my toys, but I'm not good at sharing.  If Papa counts to five I say, "6,7,8 and 9."  I've learned to open doors, and Papa says this is not a good thing.

The thing I like best about Papa is our walks. 

We always take Turdor and we take Lulu when 

she needs to pee pee.  We have friends and 

stop to talk to them.  Lots of time we walk

to Uncle clarks house and talk to him.

Santa Claus came to see me....

Mama made cookies for Santa and I got to eat some of them.  On Christmas morning Mimi, Papa and Mama watched me open presents.  I was very excited.  Later, Uncle Clark came over and I got even more presents.  I like Christmas.  My favorite toy is a truck that carries other trucks.  Papa says I now have 3 more trucks than UPS.  Aunt Anne and Mimi ate dinner with us.  Aunt Anne helped me play with my toys.  Mama read me my new books.  I had a busy day and was ready for bed at 8:00.

More Alabama..

Peanut, the pony, lives in a barn.  I got to play in the barn with Peanut and my cousins.  Mimi picked turnip greens and gave the bad ones to Papa.

It was very cold, but I stayed warm running around and around. I got to ride in a golf cart and play on a big tractor.  I like being on the farm.

Sweet Home Alabama..

Mama, Mimi and I went to Alabama before Christmas.  Alabama is a long ride.  I got to play with all my cousins and ride Peanut, the pony.  I also played with Bo, the guard dog.  This is a picture of me with great uncle Bill Baker and Mimi.  Mimi didn't want to ride Peanut.

Going to the dogs..

Dede--Lulu--and I are great friends these days.  She only growled at me 3 times this week and only nipped at me one time.  I cry if she nips me. This morning I was going to kiss Dede, and she licked my nose.  I laughed.  Mama says Dede has NO NOSE and Tudor is ALL NOSE.   Mama says sometimes she just kills herself.  Papa says Mama isn't all that funny. 

Papa lets me hold the leash when we walk Dede.  He growls when Dede and I get the leash tangled up.   When Dede stops and sniffs around, I know she is going to pee-pee.  I always let Papa know if Dede is pee-peeing or pooping.  I think Papa growls more than Dede.

Mama, Mimi and I are going to Alabama today.  Lots of kids live in Alabama.  I've been taking medicine for a cough that makes me hi per.  Papa says he and Clark think this is a good time for me to be out of town.  Mimi says Papa is a big chicken. What does bah humbug mean?

Shy Funny Bunny......

Any other time you couldn't shut him up..........

Santa Claus

This morning Mama, Uncle Clark and I went to the farmer's market. Mama was buying presents for my teachers. I got to jump in the Jump Castle and drink white hot chocolate with peppermint. Then we went to see Santa and Mrs. Claus.... Who is this Santa Claus?! Papa says I look like a rock star with my hair standing up all over my head. Mama says people pay a lot of money to get that look.

From Papa: Want that rock start look? Do a sloppy job of eating a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast and wipe your hands on your head. Works for Jack every time. Don't tell.. but someone who hates having his hair washed is getting a shampoo tonight.
