We decided to write this one together, because for once we actually agree on something. We just got done watching "the game" with Dad. We noticed a few things we'd like to share with him, and with all of you other silly adults who watch that thing called "football".
1. They can't hear you. No matter how loud you yell, how much you encourage them, or how stupid you say they are, those people in the TV can't hear you. We know this because Mom told us so when we were yelling at Swiper the other day.
2. No, the guy with the ball couldn't "see him coming". Obviously, guys, if he could have he wouldn't have run that way. No one wants to get pushed around and knocked over. I mean, jeez, it's just common sense! Just ask Burt what it's like when Em lays on him and won't get off...
3. No, the Ref isn't blind. We don't think they'd let him wear that shirt and have that cool whistle if he couldn't even see because then he wouldn't know when to wave at everyone and throw his hanky around. We're pretty sure he has to be able to see SOMETHING! And Dad, you miss the ball most of the time when we throw it, so who says you can see any better?
4. We think it's just plain silly that a bunch of guys run around and jump on each other for a dumb little ball that isn't even the right shape to roll and kick. We don't understand why you all want to sit and watch them be silly. Why not just watch us? We're waaaay funnier! :-)

I Did It!
Man, I've been working hard the last couple of days. Dad and I have worked on the roof, fixed the basement door, and today I learned about noses and ears.
Ok, so Dad did the work on the roof, but I sat down below and told him how he was doing. Mom and Em tried to help too, but they didn't do as much as me. I gave dad WAAAAAY more advice than they did! I told him to move stuff this way, or to pound harder, and I let him know when he dropped stuff.
Then I helped him by holding and checking his tools while he worked on the door. I told him stuff then, too, but mainly I just made sure his tools wouldn't break if he pounded them against different things. I checked against the floor, the bench, my stroller, and dad's feet. I also brought him drinks, although most of the time he wasn't ready for them. He made a lot of noise, and a big mess, but he says that's how we know we're getting something done, so I guess it's ok.
But I'm really excited about the noses and ears thing. Dad and I sat on the couch last night and he taught me that I have a nose and ears, and so does he. He kept finding mine, and I would find his. Then he tried to get me to find my own, but that was boring. It was much more fun to play with his nose and ears, mainly because there was hair in them, and also because he made funny noises when I pulled on them! He also tried to teach me about hair, but that didn't work very well because I don't have much of it, and he doesn't have any! Mom thought it was pretty funny when he kept talking about hair and I would laugh and shake my head "no".
Anyway, while some people were having a boring weekend, sitting around eating and talking to each other, I was busy as can be. I learned about fixing leaks, about fixing doors, and I learned where my nose and my ears are. Those are going to come in handy when I need something to play with. I DID IT!

But I Wannnna!!!!
Ok, so mom and I were headed out to go get food this morning. Burt was at home sleeping, and so was dad. We drove past the bus stop, and everyone was standing around. Mom stopped to talk to some people, and she let me get out and play with the kids. They were all big kids, but I think I kept up pretty well. Some girls said I was really cute and they sat and colored with me. A boy came and knocked me over, but I didn't even cry. I was so proud!
Anyway, the bus came and all the kids got on. I could see them going up the steps, and then a couple of them waved at me from the windows. I ran after them, and I was actually on the steps, when mom caught me and made me get down. She said I couldn't get on there, and I was so mad.
I sat down right there in the street and screamed at her. "Momma no! Emmy go a 'cool bus!" Mom still said no, and the driver just shook his head and said "Maybe next year." Then mom was really mean and said I had to wait 3 years! I don't even know how long that is, but it must be really bad. Anyway, I started crying and kicking mom. I didn't really mean to kick her, I was just kicking at the ground because I was so frustrated!
Mom put me back in the car, in my car seat, which just reminded me that I was a "little kid", and it made me even more mad. I was shaking my fists and waving my arms around, and I hit mom. Then she got REALLY mad at me. She said, "Emily Rose, knock it off, now!" She never calls me that except when I'm in big trouble. So, I took a deep breath, I looked at her, and I asked her, "Mommy mad? Mommy, you ok?"
Then she just looked at me, said "Thanks for calming down. I'm ok." and gave me a big hug. But.....
I STIL WAAAAANNNNNAAAAA GO TO 'COOL!!!!!!!!!!
