Mommy dropped off a happy boy at Barbara's home.  I said I wanted to play cars before breakfast.  That didn't happen.  I ate, THEN GGM played cars with me.

We had to stop to brush our teeth then Barbara agreed to join our fun.
A funny thing:  I told GGM and Barbara that my car was going someplace.  GGM thought I said Triple AAA and she didn't know I knew there was a business called Triple AAA, but she went along with it.  She started talking about Triple AAA and I told her she was pronoucing it wrong.  I kept telling her how to say it.  Finally she realized she should have been saying Chick Filet.  We all laughed at the misunderstanding.

When a car falls off the pool table I say it has gone "overboard."  One car was very loud and I said it's muffler was broken.  And it looks like we will be playing Santa Claus every day for the next 45 days.  I want Santa Claus to be in all of our pretend games.  When GGM and Barbara wanted to rest we went through my bookcases and found four books about Santa Claus.  We read one of them twice and we also read one about the police and strangers twice.  By then I was ready to start playing cars again.

I am good at counting.

Normally I don't forget anything, even after a few months.  But one thing I am having a hard time remembering is the HoHoHo that Santa says when he laughs.  I must have asked a half dozen times what it was that Santa says when he laughs.

GGM, Barbara, and I went for a walk in our neighborhood.  We stopped to take my picture with this big turkey.  The weather has just turned cool this week.  So we sometimes need to wear a sweat shirt or a jacket when we go outside.

I haven't quite figured out how to play Simon Says.  I always follow the instructions...even when Simon didn't say to.  We will keep practicing and I bet it won't take long for me to be a winner at that game.

We have a bag of chenille balls that came off of a 50 year old bedspread that my mom, Andy, and Bridget played with and now they are mine to play with.  They used to see who could toss the most balls into a small container.   But I am pretending that they are snow and my cars have to drive through the snow.  We have a big collection of items on the pool table to play with.  We have police cars, motorcycles, police station, jail, tow truck, lasso, ramps, gates, bridges, towers, walkie-talkies, several businesses like Chick Filet and a drive-in movie, a tornado, and 20 small Hot Wheel cars.
And much more.

After dinner, we ended up on GGM bed and I came up with a tornado game involving volunteers cleaning up after the tornado came through. We played this game at least eight times.  I enjoy repetition.
