Owen's freelance blog entry

Daddy helped me write this to Mommy while she was in Philadelphia for Pop-Pop's funeral:

Daddy and I miss you loads and can't wait to see you tomorrow.

Last night we played and watched a Wiggles. It was fun! Rather than
sitting in my chair I sat on daddies back like he was a horse for the
whole episode. Daddy would lift up and down and I would giggle! I
also spilt some of my milk on his head, but he may not of noticed.

This morning I wanted to make sure daddy was on the ball so I woke
him up at 5:30am. He finally came to get me at 5:45am. good job to, I
had no pacifiers left, nor any cuddly toys!
I was quite confused when he brought me into the bedroom, as I ran
over to the bathroom door and couldn't find you!
I was very hungry - daddy gave me a whole banana and waffle. I ate it
all, including the few bits down my side we found afterwards.
Daddy made some bread and I helped him with the bills by taking the
receipts he didn't want anymore. I emptied the trash can, refilled it
then emptied and refilled once more. I then helped daddy with the
laundry. I could seen he was putting together darks and whites, so I
fetched several towels from the drawer in the kitchen.
We went out to Home Depot and got some special plastic covering for
under my chair. I like it and crawl around on it. We then went to
Target and got me some milk. Daddy also got me a bright orange
football. I discovered a new game, if I throw it, daddy scurries off
to fetch it. It was fun watching daddy running around. We then went
to the home depot near our house as Target did not have the drawer
latches daddy wanted.
When we got home, we danced to some wiggle songs on the computer
before daddy got me lunch. I ate the lot! Daddy got all excited about
some strange blackbirds outside. He ran off to get the camera and
came back with the broken one. Then he ran off again, came back with
the right one, but it had no memory card. He eventually found a card
in the desk and snapped a few pictures as best he could through the
glass and screen.
I took a decent nap for a few hours, but felt really grumpy
afterwards. I just wanted to be held, and had to make that point to
daddy several times before he hugged me for 30 minutes. Apparently he
had been busy child proofing some of the drawers. I helped my
climbing onto daddy when he was drilling or using the screw driver. I
also helped by putting daddies pencil down the heating vent. We
looked for it, but it must have slid quite far down. Daddy was
reaching in until he hit a big cobweb around the corner of the vent
and decided to stop looking!
We then went for a long walk. Daddy pulled me in my wagon, while
stinky pulled daddy. We met Regan outside his house, and he called
Stacey and Carson to come out. Carson is having his 6month jabs on
Monday!?! He and his mommy had real flu last week. His poor mommy
had fever of 102 at her job interview. We played some more at home
and then we got to see you on Skype - that was fun!
Daddy gave me peas, sweet corn, baked beans, some corn-dogs and a few
french fries - and of course, ketchup! I ate it all. In fact, I
couldn't get it in quick enough so I used both hands. Once again
daddy got excited because sitting on the bird feeder was a Peregrin
Falcon. It was very pretty, but the camera couldn't focus on it with
the kitchen light reflecting off the door glass. Personally I think
it might have been the other entry in the book we were looking at.
Can't recall the name, but it looks just like a PF, but is smaller.
It ws probably less than a foot high.
We played some more, and then settled for the evening Wiggles. This
time I sat on daddies tummy - there's more of it so it is more comfy
than his back.
After that it was bath time - I love baths!
Well, we read some books and daddy put me to bed. I was asleep before
he could get downstairs and turn on the monitor.
No worries though, that just means I'll be up at 5am instead!

Miss and love you,

Owen (and Daddy!)
