Laundry Helper

I like to help Mommy with laundry! She hands me the clothes from the washer and I put them in the dryer for her.

Mommy's Little Helper

I like to help Mommy do laundry now! Mommy takes the clothes out of the washer and gives them to me and tells me to put them in the dryer.

I inspected the washcloth a little before throwing it into the dryer.

I was a great helper! I rode upstairs in the empty laundry hamper. On Saturday I also showed Mommy that I can put my own socks away. I took two pair of my folded socks, walked into my bedroom, opened the door of my dresser and put them into the basket of my socks. Mommy was shocked at how observent I must be.

TROUBLE!!!

Last week on Friday, I decided there really isn't anything to be afraid of and started walking by myself. I have been walking for a little while, but was very cautious and didn't want to fall down. I wanted to hold people's hands and would only take a few steps on my own. Now Mommy and Daddy don't get to sit down with me in the house! This morning Mommy and I went to Barnes and Noble. When Mommy said, "Do you want to go bye bye?" I walked right to the front closet, opened the door and stared at my coat until Mommy took it down for me. I got a couple new Valentine's Day books and Mommy and I shared a pizza pretzel!

Go, Pack, Go!!

This afternoon I hung out in my chair and watched some of the Packer game with Daddy!

Happy New Year!!

After we were done opening gifts, Nonna and Papa made the traditional New Year's Eve dinner. The first course was french onion soup, then crab legs and bacon wrapped filets, then salad and grasshoppers for dessert. I was quite interested in the crab legs before they were cooked!

Zarletti Christmas

We had Christmas at Nonna and Papa's house on New Year's Eve this year. For the last few years Auntie and Mommy have worn matching jammies on Christmas. This year I got to have matching jammies too! When Auntie was on her Alaskan cruise she found jammies for all three of us. Nonna made Auntie and Mommy their shirts.

Nonna and Papa got me a red wagon for Christmas! Papa put me inside and pulled me around the living room. I held on and enjoyed my ride. Mommy and Auntie giggled when Papa brought my wagon out because it was hidden in the hallway by the front door where Mommy and Auntie's big gifts were always hidden when they were little.

I opened my ornament from Nonna and Papa in my wagon.

When I got out I dove into all the presents under the tree.

Mommy helped me unwrap some puzzles from Auntie.

Daddy got three boxes that he had to open in order. Each box had a clue for the last box.

I think Daddy was a little confused with the clue. Auntie had a little too much fun with finding boxes and clues for Daddy's and Papa's gifts this year. Daddy's first box was wrapped in a Jello No-Bake desert box. Inside were two Raid outdoor foggers.

Auntie was being silly as Daddy was opening his presents. We all got a giggle out of her boxes and clues.

Daddy's second box had a half bag of grass seed that Auntie needed to take back to her house!

Daddy found the certificate for the lawn treatments that he wanted in his third box.

I gave Papa a picture of us from Halloween.

We gave Auntie some accessories for her new Nook.

I took a break from the festivities to relax in the corner with books.

Auntie got the bike stand so she can start training for her triathlons this summer. She can ride her bike in her living room while she watches TV.
