9 years 1 month

December of course with my mum started with a fast and furious trip to Arkansas as soon as Daddy got off. (daddy isn’t the fast and furious type he likes to relax when he can) But he went and endured the trip to Aunt Teen -Teens.. I was so excited I woke up that am saying Teen-Teen … and Teen Teen all the way there… we stopped and had Cracker barrel on the way.. Love my French toast… When we got to Teen - Teens house mummy and her went to town and picked up pizza for dinner b/c it had been a long time since my French toast.. We took pictures after shower in our matching Buc-eee PJ’s and of course they all talked.. and talked… I played with the dogs and chilled on the couch with Uncle Vaughn… Daddy disappeared somewhere with his computer so I just hung out..

Sunday am we got up and headed to see my Aunt Sarah and all her animals.. I love the horse and donkey and the donkey kept trying to lift the poor goat up by its foot and wouldn’t let go.. My Aunt Sarah had to get a whooping thing out and he let go but he is a baby and just wants to play he doesn’t realize he is hurting the poor goats..

We left after a good little visit and went and saw my Aunt Mel and my cousin Ti.. Ti is really tall now he is taller than mummy.. Guess I am taller to them as well.. Everyone says how big I am.

We then went to see my Aunt Susie she gave me a santa tin with popcorn in it.. I love the tin… Love my aunt susie I am almost taller than her as well and she lets me play with water in the kitchen although this trip I didn’t.. but she went with us to Aunt Teen - Teens for Thanksgiving dinner they were having … so mummy sat in the back seat which I thought was funny.

At dinner all the cousins were there and my two nephews Rett and Ollie were there.. I love Ollie and playing with him.. But he played with a little girl most of the time.. so I walked around harassed Maci some and got to laughing and hung with Vaughn he is my chill buddy.. avoided the camera as much as possible but some pictures were still taken between Aunt Teen Teen and mummy it is a must… We had really great amount of food and I was most excited about the brownies and the Chocolate pie! .

I have been coloring a lot at school and writing more.. I did a penguin today b/c everyone knows I love them like polar bears.. Miss Katie was taking pictures she is starting to be like mummy or mum put her up to it one..

She got a picture of me in my Turkey hat too but I am not sure if she gave those to mummy if she did sure you will all see …

Was eating dinner and asked mummy to eat and she said she already ate a tortilla and I said “Tortilla “ and mummy went crazy and made me go tell daddy tortilla not sure why that was that exciting but I got excited bc she was excited I say tortilla in sign language allllll the time and they never ever get that excited but the one day I say it with my voice she almost cries! Wow females!!!

Mr Greg is back and my routine is finally back to normal. But now I also miss, Miss Katie! I love all my teachers . With me growing up I am about to go to the big kid class guess that is why they had me get used to Miss Katie and Mr Greg was gone was to help me transition. Maybe?? , Not sure but regardless I’m going to miss having Mr Greg to work with me. Plus I love my time out spot behind his desk where I could escape the littles.. (I will be the little in the new class)

Got ready for school this am and mummy didn’t do my hair!!! Why! I am not complete without the products in my hair I want my hair to look good! People take pictures all day and now my hair is a mess . She said it was raining (her excuse) but I’m inside ! Guess I have to figure out how to do that on my own!

Therapy Miss Elizabeth has been getting me back on the bike. (She does still want to transition me out of PT b/c I am doing so well). Mummy isn’t too excited about me losing PT since I don’t get it at Schoo. Mummy has been going to the car while I work with Miss Morgan and Miss Elizabeth.. She stays for Speech but sometimes I tell her bye bye because it is my time to talk ..

I am on a chocolate kick.. I keep asking Grandma to send me new chocolate items. I don’t want to eat them , I just want to see them. I like the kinder ones b/c they have toys in them.. The only bad part about chocolate santa is that it melts and gets on my hands and I Don’t like that at all. I hate things on my face or my hands. But I have been watching YouTube and how to eat the big one that you can’t get it in your mouth.. they break it apart but that is easier said than done!!! I am not able to break that big one and it seems to have peanut butter in it the middle so not sure I want to break it b/c it will be sticky.. Like mummy chocolate covered cherries.. yes I thought it would be a great Idea for me to try one when she wasn’t looking .. Well that is one thing you can’t hide from mum.. it was everywhere, the floor, my hands, my shirt my face… I literally needed a bath b/c it was all over me and I was super sticky and so was the kitchen floor. I will NEVER eat her Chocolate covered Cherries again.. lesson learned!!! The VERY hard STICKY way!

I have had a little cheekiness going on lately … more than normal.. I have been giggly and getting into more than I used to.. maybe it is my inner toddler coming out. I have learned how to use scissors so when I want something I can sometimes get them and get the package cut open and not have to ask for a snack.. Although I should probably learn to clean up my evidence so I don’t get caught..

We had a few really cold days and I had to wear my Buc-ee sweatshirt., mummy went and got me a Buc-ee jacket .. I just don’t like all those clothes…. When I go outside I can see myself breath it is funny…

At school I am having to color more than I like but I endure and sometimes I scribble to show them I am displeased with the activity. Sometimes I will get a little moody and just tear a page if I don’t like it.. But that doesn’t help me … I just have to redo it… I love doing sign on the big TV and matching the letters with the signs. I love Miss Thorah will let me sit with her and show her things when we have a break. I showed her all of the polar bears I wanted to print and had her tell mummy so mummy understands I want those printed.. She can’t print but I tell her b/c she will tell Daddy but honestly daddy listens to me better than her.

FINALLY mummy got all my dancing toys for Christmas out.. I dumped them all in the floor and was soooo excited to make them all make noise .. I got some new ones this year I have the whole staircase covered in them..

My friend Bri turned 10 and I went to her and her twin brother’s birthday party at the bowling alley and played video games with daddy it was a lot of fun. I wanted to leave before bowling.. Was really not in the mood to bowl today… Miss Lisa and Miss Kyrstin , Mr Matt, and Elouise and Issac all came over and had a birthday celebration for mummy.. NOW THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT..CAKE and PIZZA OMY…. It was a lot of funny singing happy birthday but most of all it was awesome to get cake!!! I love happy birthdays b/c I love cake… I don’t like ice cream it is too cold and no thanks but I can eat a lot of cake…..

Every am when I get my hair done my mum said Liam look at your tongue so I touch my tongue to my nose b/c i am silly but she does it so she can get my hair straight since I am a wiggle worm .. Daddy can’t touch his nose , but mummy and I can..

I have been enjoying watching things print on the 3D printer. Daddy makes a lot of stuff for our fire family.. I don’t care I just want to see it print!! Mummy showed me how to wipe it down and I have been helping like that…. I don’t know how to send things to the printer but have learned I can push the reprint button and sometimes it will print again…. I have learned to dump the poop bin, clean the tray , remove the printed object and sometimes I put other things in there just to look at them on the Tray and pretend I printed it.. one day I will be able to design and make exactly what I want but for now I am excited to watch it and love to put my Buc-ee uncle Steven printed and my cars and other items in… Sometimes I let my other things go to visit the friends being printed.

Had our last lesson at Saddle up before Christmas…. I am going to be going on Tuesday’s next season so will have a long day b/c we will go right after Miss Kate to horses…. but will help me not have to go somewhere as much and save a little of mummy running around…. She is always so tired.. hopefully will help her.. Miss. Emily said I came a long way and she was really proud of me.
I love Miss Stephanie has stayed with me and love when Miss Sara fills in she is funny.. I love miss Gretchen too.. :) I love all my instructors … Toby will always be my favorite but still love Rita and Boomer ..

It was the last week of school before Christmas and I just got Mr. Greg back in my class and they are graduating me to the big kid class. I am very very excited to go into the big kid class and be away from the little kids but very sad to leave my teachers.. I love Mr. Greg and I haven’t had him a lot this year he was gone for 2 months .. went to Napa and he was just gone the week after fall break .. I had Miss Katie which she is back in my new classroom and so is Miss Delores and Miss AnnaLee.. I love alll of the teachers so I will be ok but I will really miss having Miss Ashleigh, Miss Thorah , Miss Brittany and MY Mr GREG CHAIR FORCE… he and I have worked together since I first got here. But guess I have to grow up.. Told you I didn’t want to be 9!! It is a grow up age! I don’t want to grow up … I like being a kid! and it is hard to say good bye… unless I want to do something and then I say bye so people will give me the floor and let me have the attention… like saying be quiet but in a nice way.. Mummy said saying bye bye when people are talking isn’t always being polite tho.. whatever.. I am 9 but still wish I was 8…. WE had a party in our classroom for Christmas and my last day.. I was dancing with Miss Ashleigh.. I love being silly and showing them what I can do… I am funny, happy and super smart.. I like to show people I am smart!!!

The next day was technically last day of school but was half day so I didn’t go since I go half day already, but we did go up to take the presents to Miss Kelly, Miss, Michelle, Miss Sara, Miss Cindy, and the Miss Peyton,MIss Julie,Miss Katelyn, Miss Laramie .. Miss AnnaLee,Miss Delores, and Miss Katie.. and of course Officer liberty.. We made all kinds of things this year for them.. Pie , biscuits and gravy for kelly and her baby grinch… unicorns, panda’s hearts, army and Air Force stuff… and well just lots of things … I was trying to make things personal for them … of course even made little santa’s .. Mummy stayed in the office and officer Liberty and I took everything and handed it out …. I loved seeing them all open everything.. wasn’t leaving until they opened of course…

Had church today love going to church everyone likes to see me raise my hands and praise.. I like to dance and hear them sing, but I do like to keep order in church and help them stick to the routine as much as possible.. I know they get a little derailed and when Jesus moves things I get it but sometimes we get derailed b/c they are all like mummy and get chatty!! Well we Gotta do offering, that is my time to go and give… we have to have alter call and I love to pick people to anoint … and then I go get prayed for .. helps me with my cheekiness… and keeps me well… I love alter call… and love my church family and how they love me..

Got to go see Santa after church and that was awesome.. I really wanted to see santa and Miss Clause but I didn’t want to hang around for the food and party and balloons … kept telling Daddy bye bye.. But we all got a picture with santa and mummy let the lady make a santa hat out of balloons for her since I didn’t want it … it was cute but I decided I wanted to leave and I had a not so nice fit.. I actually got in trouble and that doesn’t happen a lot but you know how they punished me!!! ??? NO TEA… so I was even more mad b/c they didn’t let me get tea.. that is the reason I wanted to leave but b/c I acted poorly they didn’t let me have it.. So guess I won’t do that again.. (I even kicked daddy seat but that got me nowhere too)

So Christmas break is here.. yay get to sleep in… Daddy is off for a week… Sissy .. Bubba and Daisy will be coming for Christmas and I am ready for Santa to visit me … like I am so ready for Santa… Mummy finally put up the tree… and I am very excited… She has cooked and cooked and Bubba , sissy and Daisy came over for mummy birthday .. we all sang and ate more cake on her real birthday and she cooked and cooked so we could have our feast the next day.. But I am more ready for presents not food…. I will eat her cake it was too good..

Christmas morning I woke up and was so excited I almost left my glasses upstairs… I ran grabbed them and went and sat in the floor and mummy said have at it.. I opened every single gift by myself this year .. normally daddy has to help me but this year I wanted to at least try and mummy had it where I could get the paper easy and get it ripped off… of course I wanted to go big to small.. Gots some cool new puzzles and a train.. and more annoying dancing toys.. Which I just love… I make them play and I dance with them.. I got a new soccer ball that glows in the dark .. it is so neat .. I was pretending to blow it up.. I got a neat santa slide that I love watching go round and round… all and all it was a great Christmas….

Later that afternoon sissy, bubba and Daisy came over and I got more presents from them.. that was so much fun opening with Daisy .. I got new pop funks. Its is a lot of fun opening things and being surprised …

We had a good dinner, they brought some tables upstairs for us to eat at but I wanted to be at my table and didn’t want to sit in a chair at their table.. Daisy said the prayer.. she is pretty good at that.. she did the whole food blessing and wanted us to all hold hands but I like to pray with my hands together… After we ate we were all miserable of course( well the adults were miserable.. kids know when to stop and save room for dessert ) …. But the adults found room for the dessert and were more miserable… they wanted to nap! … I got more cake.. Even though mummy made chocolate pie, 2 cheesecakes, sweet potato pie, and coconut cream pie.. it was a lot of food…

Miss Mande brought me another gift (love this time of year they keep coming). And it was a transformer remote flying transformer.. it is super funny and I love playing with it. Sissy and Daisy both have the flu now and we are avoiding them.. Well Mummy took them dumplings but I stayed home.. I never want the flu again….

I have been wearing my Santa Buc-ee and My Buc-ee Elf outfit a lot I love them so much… Will be sad when I outgrow these two since I don’t think I will be able to get them again! I even had Buc-ee in my tree this year.. mummy made it all Santa and Buc-ee my two favorite things in the world …. Now the one thing that happened this month that ended it with a BANG I guess you could say is a horrible thunderstorm… it is WINTER come on …. Mummy said to the basement buddy … we are staying safe till it passes we had a lot of wind and rain and the weather looked like tornado weather in DECEMBER … Typically I am stuck in the basement in my comfy chair in May not winter… I was a little upset b/c daddy didn’t have anything printing for me to watch.. I just went to sleep figured it would make this pass fast… mummy watched it on the computer and worked and did something to occupy her mind…

As DECEMBER comes to an end it has been eventful and lots of new changes for me for 2025 but hopefully it will make me grow… Then again maybe I don’t want to grow.. hmmm. Not sure about all of this but I know I will find new ways to make people laugh and find ways to learn new things.. . But seriously I dont like being 9… maybe it is the odd number I don’t know…. and I really want the Lindt chocolate BEAR!!!! it comes in a pack of 8 and is $50 and I really want it!!!

Love you all chat in 2025 ,
