The Life and Times of Yona!  So last night, Daddy and Mommy put a bunch of stuff in our minivan, and then Mommy got Jordan ready for bed and Daddy got me ready for bed...but instead of bed, we went into the car, and we were off to Baba and Nana's house! Jordan slept the whole way. I slept from about 9pm until we arrived, and then right after we arrived, Daddy put me to bed for real. I was so tired that I didn't feel like fighting it. Today was a big day! I played with Weebles and blocks, and then after breakfast, we went to the Bronx Zoo. We were there a long time, and it was hot. I wore my new shorts and sandals, and I saw peacocks and bears and monkeys and ducks and I even got to pet a sheep. Jordan and I took turns riding in the stroller. Sometimes I walked, sometimes I rode on someone's shoulders, and sometimes Mommy carried me. When Jordan wasn't in the stroller, she snoozed in the Baby Bjorn on Baba. We were so tired that most of us dozed off in the minivan on the way back to the house. Then after that I played some more around the house, then we were off again. We went to the beach and ate a picnic and played with bubbles. That was fun! We just got back. I had lots of fun today, but I am so tired. I don't normally say this, but I think I'm ready to call it a day. Current mood:  exhausted.
Not only can you play with it, but it tastes good, too! Very chewy. Current mood:  full.
I'd been asking to see them, so they dropped by! ^_^ I like them a lot. This morning Daddy decided I was big enough for a tricycle and got me one. I never tried riding a tricycle before! It's sort of like my truck, only with my truck I have to scoot along with my feet on the ground, and the steering wheel doesn't really do anything. But with this...it's got this bar in the front (with tassels!) that I hang onto, and the whole thing will go where I want it to! And it has pedals that I push with my feet, and that will move it (though I haven't yet got the power to make it move). And it even has a bucket in the back where I can put stuff and bring it with me! I got to try out the tricycle after lunch, when Aunt Rebecca and Uncle Mick were here. I used the bucket to put my sippy cup in. But Mommy and Daddy said I could put anything in it that would fit! I tried to see if I could go in the bucket while Aunt Rebecca rode, but it didn't work. So I guess I am not one of the things that will fit. After that, we went to the playground for a little bit. I slid down the slide with Aunt Rebecca and played in the sandbox. Then we had dinner. Now we're relaxing, and I like having Aunt Rebecca and Uncle Mick here, but I'm feeling a little pooped after all that play. I wish I could bring them and my new tricycle to bed with me. *sigh* Current mood: happy.
We had a very busy weekend! On Friday afternoon when Mommy came home, she and Daddy went mad with last-minute packing. We all had dinner and not long after that, we were off. I had a bottle on the road and fell asleep around 9pm. We got to my Bubbe's house around midnight. I was excited to see my Bubbe, but I was so tired. Plus, I really didn't want to sleep in that strange room by myself, so Daddy stayed with me. I love my Daddy. The next day, I got to play outside! Bubbe has a really big yard, which was awesome, since we don't have much of a yard to speak of at our house. Mommy had brought my plastic ball, and I ran around outside and Daddy and I kicked the ball back and forth. It was so much fun! After an early nap, as I was still tired from the journey, we all got dressed up and then we went to a wedding! I liked to see the people, but once the music started, Jordan got upset and Mommy took her out. It was kind of boring in the church, and it looked so much more fun outside where Mommy and Jordan were that I made Daddy take me outside, too. After the wedding, I got to see Mommy and Daddy's friends, and then we went back to Bubbe's house. I was still a little tired and Daddy had me take a rare late-afternoon nap. In the evening, Mommy and Daddy went out, and I stayed with Jordan and Bubbe as well as my Baba and Nana, who were both there by then. We ate dinner and played and had a pretty good time, then Nana put me to bed. I wanted her to stay with me like Daddy did the night before, and she did, for a little while, but then Jordan got upset and Nana explained that she had to go take care of her. "Baba?" I asked, thinking maybe I could keep my Nana and Jordan could have him, but Nana explained that Baba didn't really know how to change Jordan's diaper, so she had to do it. "OK," I said, figuring Nana would be back when she was done taking care of Jordan. The next thing I knew, it was Sunday morning! Mommy and Daddy were back, and Baba and Nana had, unfortunately, left. We spent the day playing outside and just hanging out at Bubbe's house, and then after dinner, just as on Friday, we left. This time, I didn't fall asleep until 10pm, and we got home around 11:30pm, so I was very tired. I did sleep in a bit this morning, but I really don't feel up to all that much yet. It was good to see my Bubbe and my Baba and my Nana, but I sure am sleepy. Current mood: sleepy.
Daddy was hoping we could get some lunch and then go for a walk, but it turned out colder than he thought it would be, so after lunch, I looked at some kites and then we hurried home. It was so windy and chilly! I love wind, but it was just a little colder than any of us were comfortable with. Well, maybe except Jordan, who was napping wrapped up in a blanket and a hat and completely enclosed in her stroller. Must be nice. I didn't really want to leave, but Daddy said we could come back sometime when it was warmer. I hope so. I didn't get a good enough look at the kites! Current mood:  okay.
I've never been to the zoo before. I saw sheep and chickens and a lion and some little monkeys and a gorilla mommy and a gorilla baby. The baby was cute but then lots of other people came to look too, at which point I decided I'd rather leave. It was kind of interesting to see so many different animals! I usually only get to see them on TV or in a book. They smell different in person. Current mood: good.
When Mommy got home from work today, I said, "out! out!" because it looked really nice outside and I really wanted to go out! So, Mommy put me and Jordan in the car, and we went to the park! Oh, I go to the park a lot with Lek during the week, and I go on the slides, but today I went to a different, little park with Mommy and Jordan. There weren't any big kids there, and there were toys to play with in the sand and a little slide that I went on and little swings. I had a lot of fun! Mommy held Jordan for a while, while I played in the sand. I shared a toy with an older boy, and Mommy said she was very pleased. ^_^ Everyone liked Jordan, too! Afterwards, we went home and had dinner with Daddy. That was good. Current mood: loved.
Yesterday afternoon, Mommy came home early, and Aunt Rebecca came by, and together with Daddy they cleaned house, cooked, and played with me and Jordan. I was fascinated by Aunt Rebecca's necklace! Then today, Mommy and Aunt Rebecca cooked and I played with Lek, Daddy, and Jordan. At one point Lek took me and Jordan out to the park, and I went and played on the big kids' slide! It was great! I climbed up and slid down, over and over, all by myself! After lunch I had my nap, then in the afternoon, when I woke up, Grandma, Grandpa, and my Bubbe were there! Grandma, Mommy, and Aunt Rebecca all cooked while I played with Daddy and Grandpa. During the afternoon, I went back to the park with Daddy and Grandpa, and played some more on the swings and the big slide! I've never gotten to go to the park twice in one day before! I really didn't want to leave, but Daddy said we had to get back. Then Uncle Mick showed up, and we all sat down and ate a big dinner. I played with a blue hat and some finger puppets. Jordan, on the other hand, went to bed. She didn't know what she was missing, I guess. I really had a lot of fun today. I wish I could have fun like this every day! Current mood: loved.
First, I discovered chocolate milk! Oh, I'd had it before, but suddenly I just want it all the time! It just tastes so rich and sweet. I've been eating lots of yogurt, too, and cheese. Mommy, Daddy, and Lek say that I am starting to fill out again. I certainly feel a lot more like myself. On Saturday we went to the hills near our house for a walk. We started to walk down this trail that had big yellow dots painted on the trees. "Yellow! dot!" I said. I love the color yellow -- it's my favorite. ^_^ But we'd barely gone anywhere when Mommy and Daddy said it looked like rain, and we went back to a grassy area near the car. I danced around for a while, then we went home. On Sunday it was a beautiful day, so after my nap, we all went to the park. I played in the sandbox, went on the swing, and best of all, I slid down the slide all by myself! Daddy was nearby, but I climbed up and slid down without any help at all. I didn't want to leave, but after a long time, Mommy and Daddy said everyone else was leaving, and that it was time for dinner, and then I realized that I was hungry after all. That was a good day. Monday Mommy started going back to work again. Mostly now I stay home with Lek and my little sister during the day. We still manage to have fun, but I miss hanging out with Mommy in the mornings. Then yesterday was a very strange day. Daddy took me to storytime in the morning, which was interesting. But mostly he ran around like crazy packing stuff in a big suitcase -- stuff for himself and for Mommy, and stuff for Jordan and for me. At lunchtime, Mommy came home, and we all had lunch. Then we went and picked up Daddy's suit, and then we all went for a long drive! We drove and drove, and at the end, we parked the car and took a little bus to an airport, where we hung out for a long time. Then we got on an airplane! We sat on the plane for a very long time. I had snacks, and we read books, and I played with Daddy while Mommy tended Jordan. There were lots of other mommies and daddies, and their babies and little kids. I met another little girl named Fiona, who was only a month older than I am! Mommy and Daddy chatted with the other people, but everyone seemed to be getting more and more tired and irritable, and the grown-ups started talking about maybe getting off the plane. Finally, at the end someone made a big announcement, and everyone got off the plane, and we went back on the little bus, back to our car, and then back home. Jordan and I napped on the way, and once we got home, Mommy and Daddy put us both to bed. I was very tired and didn't mind at all rejoining my pillows and comfy blankets and all my animals. Today everything was back to normal. Lek let me have eggs for breakfast and lunch, and as much yogurt as I wanted, and we even went outside for a little walk with Jordan when it stopped raining. Then in the evening, Mommy and Daddy came home, and I played with them, practiced my new phrase ("be careful!") and put a diaper on my Raggedy Ann, because it didn't seem right that she didn't have one like I do. Every day this week has been so different that I wonder what tomorrow will be like! Current mood:  busy.
I napped or rested from 11am until almost 3pm today. Normally I don't nap until 1pm, but I'm just so tired. I still have diarrhea, too, and that's very draining. And I'm so tired of everyone trying to get me to eat and drink. Nothing sounds good, but I feel so hollow and shaky. Mommy and Daddy and Lek don't say much, but they look worried. I heard Mommy and Lek saying they could see all my bones. Well, I can't help that. We went for a walk this afternoon, because the weather is getting better. It is nice to see sunshine and a few crocuses. I rode in the regular stroller, because Mommy said that way I could lean back and rest if I needed to, and Jordan went in the baby carrier. We weren't out long, but Jordan and I were tired when we got back. Mommy said the weather will keep getting better and better, though, and that as I get stronger we can maybe go out more. I would like that...if only I weren't so exhausted. I don't know but I think I'll take my bottle and turn in early. Current mood: drained.
