You’re Breaking my Heart


We are in Tucson at Gram and Bubba’s and it is the 4th of July. There are fire works and we all go out to watch them. It’s about 9pm, and I’m pretty tired. I was sitting with mommy but then decided to go sit with gram. Then changed my mind again but when I went back to sit with mommy, Jaffe was on her lap. So I just pushed myself up there. Mommy said, ‘No, honey, Jaffe is sitting here now.’ I got upset immediately, and starting crying and pushing cause I wanted to sit on mommy’s lap without Jaffe being up there. Mommy was adamant, said it was Jaffe’s turn and that I needed to find somewhere else to sit. This drove me banana’s  because it isn’t fair - I want to sit on mommy’s lap! Alone! Right now! 
I got very upset, threw a fit and then mommy just picked me up and took me inside. No!! Now I’m missing the fireworks!  She took me into the bedroom where she started to get me undressed and put my PJ’s on. Then I really freaked out because I don’t want to go to bed right now! 
So I cried, kicked and screamed, because I haven’t figured out yet, that if I want something, kicking and screaming isn’t the way to get it. Mommy needed a break from the kicking and screaming so she left the room but I followed her, yelling at her. I was so mad and so frustrated. I wasn’t getting what I want and mommy was walking away from me and ignoring me. Finally I bawled, “You’re breaking my heart! You’re breaking my heart!” 

Mommy was amazed by this statement. It touched her. I have no idea where I heard that but it’s what I was feeling. Mommy took me in her arms and we hugged a long time and then had a long talk in bed about how it’s important for me to be calm and ask nicely for what I want. I agree to this while stroking mommy’s face and hugging her. I love her so much and she loves me too.

It’s so Beautiful

It was Frank Lang's birthday and mommy and daddy were going to his party separately. Daddy was there already. We were having dinner and mommy told us about her wedding video and Jaf and I wanted to watch it! So we sat on the couch, with mommy in the middle, and watched the day she got married to daddy. The video was just finishing when daddy came through the door. Mommy got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up and daddy sat down between us. The end of the wedding video is a freeze frame shot of mommy and daddy kissing and when I saw this I burst into tears. Mommy came out of the bathroom and wondered what had happened? Jaffe said, “Bailey’s crying because he’s so happy!” Well, mommy was very confused - a 4 year old boy crying tears of joy is slightly unusual! She came over and sat with me and I couldn’t catch my breath. I was bawling. She asked me if I was hurt, I shook my head, no. She asked me if I was sad. I shook my head, no. She asked me if I was crying because of the wedding video. I said through my tears, ‘Yes.’ She asked if it was because mommy and daddy were kissing and I said, ‘Yes.‘ Then I exclaimed,  ‘It’s so beautiful!’ and I started to cry even harder. I felt this deeply, it touched my heart seeing them kiss, and it made me cry. Mommy started crying too and hugged me a lot. After she left for the party I cried for about another hour, daddy later told mommy. I just couldn’t stop.

Sable & Sophie

This is baby Sable and her giraffe, Sophie (an x-mas gift from me and Jaf) Merry Christmas Sable. I love you and I'll see you in the summer and we can swim in the pool together and play with my planes and cars and watch Star Wars.Darth Vader is cool. He's Luke Skywalker's father and he's a bad guy.

I love Noah.

To my big cousin, Noah, who hugs me when I'm sleeping and plays with me when I'm awake....I love you.

Knox Pumpkin Farm

We went to a pumpkin farm today with Auntie T and Uncle Brant.

Sable


Ta da! My brand new baby cousin, Sable. She's so cute. I love her, I want to kiss her and hug her and hold her all the time. I want to stand up and hold her. And walk while holding her. My mom finally agreed to letting me hold her while standing. It went good. Now it's time to go out and ride my bike suckers!

Lola's Zoo

This is Lola's zoo. It has an awesome playground. And animals. Monkeys. The sign says 'don't feed your animals' but these aren't my animals...so, can I feed them, mommy?

Lola's Back Yard
I love to visit my cousin Lola and play in her back yard.
Listen up....when forced, I'll rise to the occasion.  I just learned to ride without training wheels at Thanksgiving in Canada. I had no choice, they left my glider bike at home.

Bonnie & Clyde

This is Bailey's mommy and I am secretly adding this post- Bailey has declared that he will marry his best friend, Emily. They are a riotous pair. (Emily is 3 and Bailey is almost 4.) We call them Bonnie & Clyde. Last week at the Barnsdall Wine Event they grabbed our blanket, dragged it all the way across the lawn to the west side slope. Then, in this embrace you see pictured above, they watched the sunset.

My Daddy

My daddy has been away in Tucson for a few days now. I tell my mommy I miss him and I wish he were here. This is the video he sent to me and Jaffe this morning. I watched it 5 times in a row and wanted to know if it was real. Mommy said yes, unfortunately son, it's real. Well, except the very end of course...

Adventure City!




I love trains. I love cars. I love, love, love movies with trains and cars in them! I love the 'train movie' which is what I call Toy Story 3 because it opens with a sequence that involves a train being hi-jacked. I love both Cars movies. And now recently I want to watch 'The Incredibles' and 'Up' alllllllllllll the time.

Height Chart

Check out how tall I am, dude! It's sick!


Thumbs Up!

When mommy asks me to give her a thumbs up this is what I do. Suck it!

















ps. the other day when Jaffe was going on about how she's moving out of the house when she grows up, I slipped in that I would be living at home with mommy forever and she seemed happy about this actually, which was kind of a surprise, even to me. I told her later I would be marrying her too and she agreed to that too. Thumbs up!

Mini Stu



Could I look a little like old man Stu Antzis?

Hallowe'en


When we went out for candy this year I approached every door and said, "Trick or Treating!" It was fun. Then the Hallowe'en fairy came and traded my candy for the CARS 2 movie- now my favorite favorite movie in the whole world. I could watch it every day and often do.

Pooping on the Potty

Sometimes it's damn sunny in LA, dammit! I love saying that word - dammit. Usually Jaffe tells mommy when I say it and mommy says, "Bailey, say darn it, it's a much nicer word." Really, mom? Really?
So, check it out- I've been pooing on the potty for almost a month now and I heard my mom say on the phone to her friend tonight, "Bailey is in the downstairs bathroom poo'ing and Jaffe is in the upstairs bathroom poo'ing. Do you understand? Both kids are poo'ing on the potty as we speak. I am free. I am free!" Not sure what that means but when I poo on the potty I get the Race Car movie and that is ALL I need to know. Poo. Flush. Give me my movie.

I can swim!

We just got back to Tucson from our annual Chips trip to Wildwood Hot Springs. I can swim now, and swam quite a bit on our trip and now I'm swimming in my Gram Arlene's pool. It's Bubba's pool too but he is recovering from shoulder surgery and in bed a lot. Here is a video of me swimming. (you'll notice my mom shouting at me quite a bit, but it does help remind me to use my arms so don't feel so bad for me, she's alright.)

I AM a big boy!

I went hiking today with mommy, Jaffe, Finlay and Maggie. I thought we were going to the place where they have a beautiful garden but Jaffe told me no, I was wrong. Mommy let me hold Finlay's leash cause I'm a big boy. I told her this morning, "Mommy, I have bad news." And when she said "What is it?" I told her I was a big boy. She told me that wasn't bad news, that was good news. Okay mom. My mommy always needs to be right.


My conversation with Jaffe today...




Jaffe: I am sick.
Bailey: I'm a doctor. Okay, girl, okay?
Jaffe: No you're not.
Bailey: Yes I are.
Jaffe: Then fix yourself.

Nudie Patoodie

My mom wants to kiss me ALL the time.
And okay I'm a pretty affectionate guy and I've been enjoying telling her I love her lately, that feels good, but sometimes I just ain't wantin' a kiss all the time. So, I turn my head and send a clear signal that although I am cute I am not always available for a kiss. And when I do this she ALWAYS says, "What?! No kiss!" and it ALWAYS makes me laugh and then I ALWAYS end up giving her a kiss anyway. Women!
