Ahh, I'm awake. Good morning pillow, good morning blanket, good morning room, good morning Mommy and Daddy, g- wait a second, where is every one?!?! Why is it dark? I have to peeeee someone help! Maybe if I get louder and louder someone will eventually get me out of here! Why are they taking so long!
6:31
Yes! I knew he couldn't sleep through that... Good morning Daddy, I have to pee! No, don't put my toilet seat frontwards, we've been through this, I NEED it to be backwards. That's good. Now don't do that again. Ever.
6:32
Ooo I'm STARVING! Bread? Yogurt? Milk? Bread? Bread? Bread? Breeaaaadd! Daddy why are you walking away from me?! Oh. You're just making some toast. No, not in the toaster, in the toaster oven. There ya go, Yaaaayy!
6:35
Prayer time? Ok. Something something bread, Amen.
6:45
Mmmm two bites of toast and I'm stuffed! Ok, I'm ready to play! Is Mommy still in bed? I'm going to go wake her up. Hey, Jules is there too! Let's all wake up! Good morning Mommy, good morning Jules! Hmm, Jules is still sleeping *whack* wakkke upppp! Hi Jules :) FULL BODY HUG! Aw, Mom, she's fine, she likes when I give her an "Anaconda squeeezzee" Don't you Jules? See? She's smiling!

.... Wow I have had hours of exploration and fun, and it's been pretty sweet. Let's see, each egg taken out of the carton and licked thoroughly? Check. Hopefully Mum won't notice this time, I did leave them neatly in a line on the second shelf. Not one crack, and now they're clean too! Did I put all my toys in the fridge today? Oh yes, that was fun. I took a drink from the bathroom sink ALL BY MYSELF! I then got a cup and filled it for Mommy. I even put it on the bed right behind her when she was nursing Jules to surprise her. She is always thirsty and she looked pretty funny jumping out of bed so fast and dripping wet. Then I sat on Julia for a full 2 seconds (possibly longer) before Mommy noticed and I KNOW she thought it was funny. Whenever she turns away her head, and tries to be serious, I know she is holding back a laugh. I'm pretty funny.

Ahh... sleep time.. WAIT A MINUTE! Where are my cars? Car? Car? Caaaarrrrrrr? Ah, there she is, Mommy I need my car. Yes, those 3 are good but I want my caaaarrr. Yes, the one with the surfboard on top, ahh perfect. Motorbike? Motorrrrrrbiiikkkke? Perfect. Now they all need to be lined up. Thank you Mommy. Ok Motorbike, let's cuddle. ZZZzzzzz.
Okay, you got me, Ezzy did not write this, but he actually did and does do all these things. And I wouldn't be surprised if his thought pattern went something like that. Every day is a new adventure for him and he has such wonder at how things work and are made. And sometimes he even makes up his own ways of how things are done. His daily rules ;) My life is good. Reaaally good. Although I may be a bit frustrated the moment he shoves a chair into the back of my legs and proceeds to scream and push as hard as he can so he can be at the counter helping me, I really do love his desire to learn. It is inspiring how attentive he can be and how much he remembers. Sometimes he is too attentive... He's started to flush the toilet with his feet since he saw me do that at a public bathroom and almost fell in the bathtub trying to reach the handle. I've had to learn to be careful how I react, what I say, what I climb on and where I put Julia. And yet it has been an amazing adventure so far. He makes me laugh every day and when he makes Jules laugh it makes me so grateful to have these two darlings. I love my job, and wouldn't want it any other way.
