Our Family

Silly Baby

October 2027

I opened my eyes. Da morning sun shined bwightly through da big window.

I so excited fo- today.

I wuv evewy day, but today is gonna be da best day.

My cousin is coming tomorrow! Jus one mo- sleep!

I kicked my legs excitedly as I waited fo- Mommy and Daddy to wake up.

I looked around da room. Evewything is bwight and sunny.

Our house is like a jungle of boxes stacked on top of each other.

Mommy is asleep on Daddy's arm, and I'm tucked between dem.

I sitted up and bounced up and down.

Mommy and Daddy didn't wake up.

I crawled on top of da blankets and sat on Daddy's chest. I must be heavy now. I'm 3 and a half yeaws old!

He opened one eye.

I jumped on him happily.

He wuffled my hair.

"Mo' ning Daddy!" I said.

"Shhh" Daddy said, tapping his finger to his lips.

I like to copy Daddy.

I furrowed my brows. "Shhh!" I copied, tapping my finger to my lips.

Daddy nodded.

He looked at mommy. Den he put his hand on her cheek, and ran his thumb back and forth.

So I did the same thing to Mommy.

Daddy smiled a little.

Den he kissed Mommy's head.

So I kissed Mommy's head too.

Den Daddy pulled me toward him and kissed me too.

I giggled.

"Shhh." He said again.

Den he put his head back on his pillow to go back to sleep.

I don't wanna sleep. I wanna play now.

I wiggled to the edge of the bed, and den slid off like a slide.

I went to get Booboo.

Booboo is my imaginawy fwiend. Well, not weally. She's a stuffed tiger. But of all my stuffed animals, Booboo is my best fwiend.

Da floor was a bit cold to step on. Luckily I have my sockies on.

I picked up Booboo and put her on da bed.

Den I picked up as many stuffies as my arms could carry, and I put dem on da bed too.

I pulled myself back up, and I sitted on da bed, narrating fo- my toys. My toys haven't learned to talk yet, so I do it fo- dem.

"Hewwo mr. Bear." Said Booboo.

"Hewwo Booboo." Said mr. Bear.

I played for a while, but Mr. Bear was starting to be mean, so I put him in time out on da chair, like Mommy does to me sometimes.

Then I felt a bit hungwy.

I cwawled back on da bed.

"Mommy."

"Mommy"

"Moooommmmy" I whispered.

Mommy turned to me. "Good morning, sunshine." She whispered.
