Rain, Rain and more Rain

It has been glorious to have some rain in these neck of the woods lately. The bum deal is that I am feeling trapped inside.
On Monday I went to the mall to pick up my free book I earned with my Library Summer Reading program. Tuesday I went to Gymboree open gym and today I went to a puppet show at a local library that was about Jack and the Beanstalk...TEXAS TALE style. I really liked it and paid pretty good attention, thanks to a couple of graham bunnies. After my nap, Mom and I played outside in the rain for a bit, I loved that...but got kinda chilly.
Here is a picture from Sunday right before the storms hit...I got one last hurrah in the sprinkler frog!!

And here I am eating one of my new favorite in season items: Corn on the Cob!!!

As you can tell...since mom was told to pull me off all milk, I am gettin after the food again big time. Last night for dinner I ate:
about 1/3 of a filet of salmon
corn on the cob
cous cous and spinach
5 baby carrots
about 1/4 C blueberries and
some yogurt for dessert...I slept GOOD last night.
This morning breakfast was:
1/2 piece of toast, a banana, 1/2 pkg of oatmeal and some of mom's bagel and some blueberries and some cherrios!!!
We are still amazed at how much I eat and don't gain much weight. I think tomorrow am mom and me are going to make some more oatmeal/blueberry cookies...I love them and mom makes em real healthy for me. We aren't real sure what we are going to do when blueberries are out of season!! Mom ought to look into freezing some, because I LOVE THEM.
Here are some of the latest and greatest things I can do these days:
Go up and DOWN the stairs swiftly and safely
Follow simple directions such as:
Put this in the garbage please
Take this to Cheddar, please
Come here (when I am in another room)
Close the cabinet please
and a bunch more that i can't think of right now!!
I can also pick up my toys and put them in a bucket, say thank you in sign language, say please all the time, will stop doing things when asked, and can change my course of direction and/or actions when asked if I "need to take a break"...which means I am fixin to have to go to my pack and play for not doing what I am supposed to.
We are supposed to have yet one more day of rain, so our yard will be happy...I will keep you posted if anything exciting happens.
