We went on a boat and then an airplane down south to see more family.  The views were cool and I wanted to explore and see and touch everything but Mommy wouldn't let me and that made me very upset. I screamed alot and she put me up on the deck in the cold with her , Daddy, and Joie for a while. A long while.  Then I slept inside because it was late.  I slept on the plane most of the time too, when I wasn't screaming to explore.

Traveling got me all mixed up but after I settled in I had a really fun day with Auntie Molly, Joie, Travis, James and Uncle Frank while Mommy and Daddy went to the Temple.  I clung to Auntie Molly alot because things scared me and I was still adjusting.  Then Mommy and Daddy took us on a long drive to Canada.

We spent 3 days in Canada and everything was so fast and busy.  I was tired all the time.  The food was good and I did get to do fun things like go for walks, see new things and places, make cookies with Nana, play with animals like lil dogs and ferrets and try new foods in new places too.  I got to play with different people too. I played with my great grandma, I love her, and my Nana and Papa and Aunts and Uncles and friends!  We had alot of good times and did fun things.  We got to hang stockings, which I didn't understand, I wanted to wear them like Uncle Gary said.  Then the next morning we got to take them down and open treats from them! It wasn't so bad.  We got presents too! I loved my animal set. I'd make them roar and eat eachother.  I play with all my new toys and love them all now. We had lots of fun in Canada.

We drove the long drive back with Uncle Gary and then went to Auntie Molly's house again.  I loved the stairs and tried to go up and down them but I fell once.  Mommy was so stressed out by that.  It was fun to play with Jamie and Travis as long as they weren't beating on me.  I'm learning to hold my own,  I can work a stick and say bang bang like a gun.  Mommy and Daddy hope I learn later that we only shoot certain animals and not people.  We spent alot of time with Nana and Papa at Daddy's parents house with Uncle Chester too.  I played with Jamie and Travis alot and we had alot of fun.  I even got used to the big doggy Star.  Mommy and Daddy noticed I screamed a lil less and started using words more. Probably because no one else knew what my screaming meant. Joie, Mommy and Daddy know. 

I was eating oranges in a corner and Mommy came to see what I was doing. She said what are you eating Fox and I said Oranges! and showed her my messy oranges hands.She was so proud of me she didn't even get mad!  She thought it was so cute!  Funny, I'll remember that for sure.  I can talk I just choose when to use it.

I loosened up and started getting back on a schedule.  Mommy and Daddy left me alot to go do things and I screamed less when they were gone becuase no one knew what my screaming meant and didn't wanna hear it.  Nana said I screamed less when Joie wasn't around too.  It's true cause then more people paid attention to me.  It's hard being the second sibling, I don't get taught much or listened too enough. They wonder why I don't talk...

Christmas we did the presents thing again. No stockings this time just the goods. I like the light saber things and my new light up cowboy boots.  It was fun, a lil busy but fun.  We went to a big party and saw alot of strange people and Santa Claus. He was pretty scary too.  I got tired again and a lil upset.  Christmas day was the best with the presents I think and yummy food and playing with cousins and Joie.

We went for a lot of walks in Wshington and there was no snow! I got to pick up rocks and sticks and all sorts of fun stuff. There was this lil puppy that chased me around. That was scary but I still had alot of fun.  There was rain and puddles and leaves and I even rode on Papa's motorcycle with Joie! We had alot of fun on our trip.

I was soon time to go home and we left really early in the morning to the airport with Papa.  We spent 2 hours there waiting and Mommy walked around with Joie and me a lil bit but also tried to make me sit alot.  The I had to sit on the airplane!  We were stuck in Ketchikan for 2 more hours and Mommy did let me run up and down the isle for a while but got sick of that pretty quick and I had to stay in the seat again!  She finally got me out to the play place in the airport for about 20 min before we had to board the plane for take off. Planes are ok. 

We played in some nice peoples home in Juneau but Mommy wouldn't let me touch anything and they had a big scary dog too.  It was good to go to sleep, but then we were up at 3am again to drive to the ferry, which was late by 7 hours!!  So we slept in the car and drove around till we got on the boat.  It was more fun this time but I was still tired and Mommy hated all my screaming.  We were all glad to be home.
