This morning when Mommy and Daddy left to go to work they forgot Bubba. He had to stay with me and Aunt Terri today. I didn’t really like this because Aunt Terri is mine and I don’t like to share her. During my after lunch nap Aunt Terri woke me up. She put me in that terrible seat that they call a “car seat.” They strap me down so I can’t move. I cry hoping that they will let me out but they never do. Aunt Terri put Bubba in his car seat too and we went to find Mommy. We found her at a gas station and we all got in her truck with her. She said that we were going to the “docter.” When we got there Aunt Terri was playing with Phillip and Mommy was snuggling with me, which is how I like it best. After they called mine and Bubba’s name we went into this small room where Mommy laid me down on a thing they called a scale. After they finished with me they weighed Bubba too. After that we left that room and went into another small room. The mean lady told Mommy that I weighed 17lbs and 14 oz. Apparently I am in the “ate-e-ith per-sent-ile” of my weight and the “seven-tee-ith per-sent-ile” of my height, whatever that means. After she told Mommy that she asked her a bunch of questions about me then she left. After a few minutes of Bubba making a lot of noise and getting into trouble a nice man comes in. He looked at Bubba for a few minutes and then Mommy laid me down on a table and the nice man checked me out real good. He told Mommy that everything looked great. After he left the mean lady came back in. She hurt me four times! I screamed really loud thinking that Mommy would pick me up but she didn’t. She must not have known what that mean lady was going to do or she wouldn’t have brought me there. After the mean lady was done Mommy picked me up and snuggled me for a few minutes. I started feeling better. Aunt Terri got Bubba and we left to go home. Mommy put me back in that mean car seat again. I decided that Mommy probably wasn’t going to let me out no matter how much I cried so I just slept on the way home. When we got home Mommy gave me some yummy grape tasting “med-i-sine.” It made me sleepy. After Daddy got home we went to Mawmaw’s house and the grown ups ate. I just laid around and enjoyed everyone snuggling with me. After it got dark outside they strapped me back into that seat again and we went home. I decided not to give up this time and I cried the whole way home. Mommy and Daddy never gave in though. Bubba got tired of hearing me cry and he started holding my hand. I love him. When we got home Mommy got me out, rocked me, and laid me down in my bed. I feel asleep pretty quickly….I was really tired.
