Missing Mommy and Daddy

Today started out like yesterday—I waked up, played with Doc McStuffins, and came upstairs to see Grandpa and David and the pups.  But then Grandma left to go somewhere and I was left with Grandpa and David.  Don’t get me wrong—they’re fun and I love them, but these men are a bit slow.  I talk and no one answers me, they let me shake my milk all over the floor (which was okay because Haley liked it), and Grandpa just doesn’t understand my routine.  He put my socks on without telling me we were going anywhere so I kept taking them off.  Grandma and mommy always let me help so I feel like a big kid.  Then we went outside and I was so happy.  I thought it was time to play.  But nope.  Grandpa opened the car door and tried to make me go in my car seat.  I was like, “no thank you! No thank you! I want outside”.  He got frustrated and then he tried putting my car seat buckle on me over my jacket!!!   Hello?!!! We finally got it figured out and went for a ride somewhere, but I couldn’t see anything so it seemed sort of silly.  

After that me and Grandpa came home and watched s show about a Christmas puppy who got into trouble all the time.  Grandma came home and said “Sophie why are you still awake?” And I looked at her, then at Grandpa, and then just watched the show.  Grandma rolled her eyes at Grandpa again and said “little girl it’s nap time.  Honey please put her to bed. “  Well of course I couldn’t sleep—remember I  did not poop yesterday?  Well all that poop came out as soon as I went downstairs.  So Grandma changed me and then I went right to sleep!

Later we went to a big indoor place with lots of big shiny noisy games  and big giant heavy balls in all different colors.  People roll these balls on the floor!   I wanted to try but Grandma said next time.  So we went home and ate dinner and then Grandpa left to go out.  


After that, I was climbing on all the dining room chairs and Grandma said “Sophie no no!” and then I all of a sudden missed my mommy and my daddy.  I cwied.  Mommy and daddy must have known I was sad because they called me on the picture phone.  I just hugged and hugged them.  Then I took a bath, with bubbles, and cuddled with Grandma for a while. 


I’m tired.  Talk to ya tomorrow.
