Flamoramso
[As transcribed by Daddy]
I slept in a bit again this morning - Mommy and I spent a good part of the morning snuggling in bed and reading storybooks. Eventually we got our act together and had a nice day - it was cold out there again, and Mommy spent most of the afternoon (while I was in school) out and about buying Fabric and riding busses.
School was really busy - the last day before the holiday break. Santa visited us, which was pretty awesome - I told him about the gifts I want for Christmas (my parents were surprised by my recent revisions and are hustling accordingly), got some treats from friends, came home and fed them to Daddy, since I can't eat most of them due to wheat allergies.
Mommy cooked a chicken for dinner - I managed to keep about 50% of it off of the floor, and about 25% of it out of Basil's mouth. Before bed, I invented a new matrial art - something I call "Flamoramso", which is a combination of tumbling, gymnastics, and monkey fighting.

A Star is Born
Christmas Concert
Originally uploaded by Clover_1
I slept in a little bit today - but when I woke up I sure was amped for tonight's Christmas Concert! I could barely contain myself, and my excitement carried me through the morning and lunch.
Mommy braved the cold weather taking me to school - we gave Christmas cards and presents to Mrs. Bartlett, Mrs. Macintosh, Mr. Sheffle, and even to my friend the crossing guard! At school we did some rehearsing for the concert, and by the time I got home I couldn't wait to go right back to sing!
Daddy rushed home from his company Christmas party in time to take us to the school, where I took the stage with the other kids and gave quite the rousing rendition of several holiday classics. I was something of a real ham - I did all the actions bigger than the other kids, and since I was standing front row centre, I was able to take really really big bows. Everyone applauded and were so proud of me!
Daddy took Mommy and I out for take-out Swiss Chalet (my request) for dinner, and then headed back to his company Christmas party. He wouldn't have missed my performance for anything.

The Aging Sandwich Dream
[As transcribed by Daddy]
Last night, I reportedly had a dream about a sandwich that just kept getting older and older... there was even a little meter thing that measured how old the sandwich was. At one point, the sandwich was fifteen years old!
I had a nice day with Mommy today - we did some crafting, worked on some Christmas surprises, watched a little bit of television, drew some pictures, and played in my room.
At school today, Adriana suggested that I get some Hanna Montana boots. I expressed my concerns with Mommy - I really don't like Hanna Montana, but all the other kids do. I seem to be the only one in my class who doesn't care. Should I? My parents like that I'm not into Hanna Montana, truthfully.

First Field Trip
[As transcribed by Daddy]
This morning in my advent calendar I got a new Christmas nightgown - I love it! For some reason I was very surprised to learn that Mommy made it for me... it's not like she doesn't frequently make stuff for me.
We had another little singing practice at school today, and got to see some singers come to perform for us in the gym - AND I got to go on my first ever field trip! We all took a walk over the the post office. Not much of a big deal... I've been to the post office before.
Mommy and I had a nice afternoon together, and then Gammy and I spent some time together this evening for our scheduled knitting lesson (I'm making a scarf for Cinnamon Bunny). I got to stay up a little late to watch another Christmas Special!

Basil's Briefcase
[As transcribed by Daddy]
We got loads of mail today - Christmas cards from friends, contact lenses, printer ink, tacky 1970s Christmas decorations, and a phone bill. Pretty decent haul!
At school today, Adriana - a girl I've been having some issues with - made me a picture, which was really awesome. I was very happy to declare that we're friends again! Being in kindergarten sure is awesome. While I was at school, Grandpa looked after Basil, who wandered around the house with Gammy's briefcase in his mouth. Later, it was discovered that there was a fruitcake in said briefcase.
Mommy and I worked on a secret present for Daddy in the afternoon, and then we all had a lovely dinner and watched 'Smit-Busters' together before bed.

Fantastic Mr. Fox
[As transcribed by Daddy]
I had a nice morning while Daddy slept in - I got some homemade hair elastics in my advent calendar, which made me pretty excited. Mommy and Daddy promised to give me a surprise - we drove downtown to pick up a CD from Daddy's friend (same as last week) and then headed off to the surprise.
When we drove past the Dinosaur Museum I got pretty excited - but that's not where we were going. We did some quick shopping at the bookstore, and then we all went and saw a totally amazing movie that all three of us absolutely loved! It was great, and I was pretty well behaved - I ate a lot of popcorn and drank an entire vitamin water...
...which we think what was turned the rest of the afternoon pretty foul for me. As soon as we got home I was ridiculously cranky and miserable, I kept crying and getting angry, and my folks aren't really into putting up with it. I felt bad, since we had such a great day. Oh well. I went to bed a little early... probably due to all of the day's excitement.

Dancing with Santa
[As transcribed by Daddy]
I let my parents sleep in for quite a while this morning, and spent the better part of the morning with Gammy and Grandpa, who made me breakfast. I asked for some Tambourine Tea, which confused them until they realized I meant orange tea.
After a nice lunch with my folks, I played in my room and drew some pictures before we headed out to Shops at Don Mills for some weekend shopping. We got some books and then I ran into Santa Claus in the mall - I was so happy to see him, I ran right up to him and gave him a huge hug! Some carolers emerged and sang to us, so Santa danced with me. It was such a perfect moment that shop owners came out of their nearby stores to watch!
I snoozed in the car on the way home - Mommy made hors d'œuvres and then a delicious dinner. I got to stay up playing pretty late, talked to Nana on the phone, and made decorations for her Christmas tree.

The Drowning T-Rex
[As transcribed by Daddy]
Once again, Mommy and I had a lovely morning of drawing pictures, playing board games, telling stories, and stuff. No television or video games, I'm happy to announce. I drew some pretty stunning pictures of dinosaurs, including a great sketch of a drowning T-Rex trying to come up for air.
It's really cold outside. There was some drama on the way to school, considering that the wind was totally blowing in my face... and then when I'd get all bundled up I'd complain about being too hot. Ah well. More of the same drama on the way home.
Mommy made a fantastic black bean soup for dinner, which we all enjoyed with some cornbread. I asked for and then had a fantastic bath before bed, and am looking forward to the weekend.

Brutal Back Massage
[As transcribed by Daddy]
Man, is it ever a cold one out there (and it's getting colder). Amazingly, I opted not to play too many video games or to watch too much television today, which was good. Mommy and I did a lot of playing together and stuff, which was good.
I was so happy to see snow outside that I hopped and skipped and jumped all the way to school with Mommy and Grandpa, and then hopped and skipped and jumped all the way home again. You've seriously never met someone so happy to see signs of winter, even when said signs are stabbing everyone else in the face.
After Daddy came home from work, I gave my folks a back massage by POUNDING and punching them on the spine. I dunno if it hurt, but they sure laughed about it. I performed some songs from my upcoming school Christmas concert for them and then got naked because I thought it'd be funny.

Sleetstorm
[As transcribed by Daddy]
I coughed through the night - I just can't seem to shake this tickle in my throat. My coughing kept my Mommy and Basil up, too. We got hit by a pretty awful sleetstorm through the night - a mix of wind, rain, and snow. Yuck. I didn't even get to go out there and make a snow sculpture, like I wanted.
Since our internet was knocked out and we were having power issues, Mommy and I played board games and stuff, and kept the television and computer turned off. Luckily Grandpa was around to give us a ride to school, so I didn't have to brave the weather.
After school I visited my Grandparents and then had candy cane ice cream that Mommy made for me when I was at school, and watched one of my movies and did some drawing. Daddy showed me what old vinyl records are - we listened to music together and did some dancing.
