I can...

I can do all sorts of things. 
  • I have been able to open doors for a while, unless Mom put one of the funny white things on the door.  I hate that. 
  • I can say my name - I point to myself in the mirror or in a picture and say "Gen".  I also point to Mom, Dad, Baby, Mama (grandma), and Gmpa (grandpa) and say their names, also.  I really like to look at picturs of myself and people I know.  When we get to daycare, I call her "Na-Nee"
  • I can get into the car when Mom pushes the button and the door opens.
  • I can open the fridge and pantry to look for a snack or drink when I am hungry.
  • I am really good at helping Mom do laundry.  She will hand me clothes, lift me up and I put them in the washer.  Also, when she is folding clothes I take them out of the laundry basket and give them to Mom.
  • I can throw the ball really good, and sometimes I even catch it.
  • I can get my favorite books off of the shelf and take them to Mom to read to me.  I can also turn pages.  My favorite books are the ones with the animals (Mom and I make funny animal sounds), and my book about Man (Mom calls him Spider Man).
  • I can blow bubbles if Mom gives me the right blower for bubbles.
  • I can play guitar with Daddy.  Mostly I just dance when he plays guitar, though.
I was really, really sick a couple of weeks ago.  Mom had to take me to the doctor and I was so hot.  I got to eat a lot of medicine, though (I like the taste of it).  Also, I got to snuggle extra with Mom.  I felt so sick I had trouble falling asleep.  Mom would hold me in the rocking chair until I fell asleep.  Even when I was feeling better, I wanted Mom to hold me a lot.  I really like that.  Now I like to play again more, and just get some hugs from Mom.

Sometimes when I want something and Mom won't let me have it I get really mad.  I stomp my feet on the group and yell.  I used to lay on the floor and scream, but that didn't get me what I wanted, so I started doing this instead.  I'll have to see if it works.

This picture was taken before I got my hair cut.  Mom says I need another hair cut again.

My pants used to fall down all the time.  I would get frustrated when I was walking.  Mom made me two belts that help hold my pants up.  It's pretty awesome.
