Hopefully, this will be my last really high fever for a while, I'm tired of being sick!

Well again!
Some of you already know I got sick again this past Friday... but, don't worry, I'm feeling much better now. Today I felt well enough to get dressed in my Sunday best...
And even play a game of football before we left for church!

Learning the classics early
My uncle Adam gave me this shirt with the Beatles on it, so now I've not only learned who they are, but also what one of their greatest hits was:
The bedtime ritual
Little Zoe has quite the bedtime ritual. Here's a video of me getting her to bed:
Twice the brushing fun
Sure, most kids don't like brushing their teeth.
But that's because most kids don't have two toothbrushes, like I do!
One's got Big Bird on it, the other has Zoe, Elmo and Grover.
With two brushes, I can brush in half the time, but with twice the fun!

My first shiner?
At school on Tuesday I apparently fell out of my chair during snack time, and got this bruise/scrape/cut/general booboo on my left eye.
Mami and Daddy kept waiting for it to turn black and blue so that it would make for a really good blog post, but it didn't, and it's already getting much better.
I'm such a quick healer!

Singing and dancing
Even though I don't go to MusikGarten classes with Mami anymore, I still have the class once a week through my dayschool. So I've gotten really good at all the songs. I know them by heart and I want to listen to them all the time.
Here's a video of me listening to a song called "Bounce Along" -- I say the name too, it's just not on the video. I like singing along to the part about bouncing up high. (Then I get a little confused, though, we think, because then I start saying "hi!" to Daddy...)
And this is a video of me listening to one of my favorite dancing songs. (This is definitely a new move to add to The Resli Dance. We call it the "spastic leg variation"...)
In both these videos, though, it's clear that a) I love music and b) I need better dancing role models than my parents!

I like to climb trees
We have this great tree in our front yard, it's perfect for climbing up and sitting in.
Of course, with that tree I need some help. But we also have this tree, which is a little more my size. I try to climb this one too.
Either way, playing in the leaves with Mami is fun!

One of my newest skills...
Is drinking from a straw!
This is a big milestone for someone like me, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

Weekend walking
I love going for long walks with Mami and Daddy.
Yesterday, Daddy wasn't getting ready quickly enough for my taste, so I had to help him out.
First, I helped him put his socks on.
And his shoes.
And helped him tie them.
Then I put my sunglasses on,
And we were ready to go, AT LAST!

Helping out
I like helping out around the yard. See, here I am sweeping leaves...
Well, the broom and the rake look so similar I can't really tell them apart!

An afternoon at the playground
You all know how much I love playing outdoors, right?
Well, this afternoon we walked down to the elementary school near my house to investigate their playground.
There was so much to do. I climbed up and down these stairs for the first 20 minutes.
Then (after convincing my parents that playing in a party dress is very difficult), I climbed up and down and through this tunnel thing.
And then found an even cooler tunnel thing!
Then Daddy showed me how to climb on this... whatever it is.
(I call this "monkey-see-monkey-do"!)
I hung out there for a while.
And then I was too tired to walk home, so Mami had to give me a ride on her shoulders, which I kept insisting was a horsey ride!
All in all, yet another great day to be Resli!

Merry music making
Weekends are so much fun, because I get to hang out and play with Mami and Daddy. For example, Saturday morning Mami and I took out the music set I got for Christmas and explored the instruments.
This is a recorder in the shape of an alligator... I heard Mami play it, but I'm not quite sure how it works. I put it to my mouth and said "toot" - it's almost the same!
I played the drum a little too.
And then Mami showed me how to use castanets.
My favorite instrument so far, though, is the maracas. I just love shaking them as I dance!

A very important day...
Today is January 8th, 2007.
It is a very important day, for several reasons.
It is a very important day, for several reasons.
- First, Mami started a new semester today.
- Second, I am now officially 23 months old!
Here's me and my sign:
- Third, today is the day the Gators play in the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL GAME (as you may have guessed by my special outfit)!
We're all very excited and crossing our fingers for them to play well tonight. I know I'm ready, I've got my outfit and my balloon. Of course, I'll be asleep long before kick off, but I think I've already done my part, don't you?

Party Time!
That's TEA PARTY time!
I got this tea set for Christmas, and now my favorite thing to do is to have tea parties with anyone and everyone who will come sit at my Dora table.
Here, I trapped Daddy into the tea party.
First, we pour the tea. Sometimes we add milk and sugar too.
And then, cheers!, we drink up.
You wouldn't believe how much fun I have doing this. Over and over. Every time I walk in to the living room, I want to have yet another tea party. . .

Testing the limits... of corporate policies
Tonight we went to Applebee's for dinner to celebrate the New Year with Grandma and Granddaddy Ward. All of a sudden, after playing with my cup and straw, 
I decided, for some odd reason, to take off my shirt! No, I've never done this before, but it sure was fun!
For all their signs about "NO shirt NO shoes NO SERVICE" at the restaurant though, nobody seemed to care much that I was half naked! (Well, Granddaddy seemed a bit upset by it, but Mami was laughing so hard I hardly noticed.)
Then of course the problem came when I decided to put my shirt back on, all by myself ("Resli do it, Mami no, Resli do it")... Of course, I'm not so good at this part.
It's cold and raining today in Gainesville, so the stronger people at the table (everyone!) finally convinced me that I had to put my shirt back on. But this seems like a fun trick for future outings, don't you think?
[Note: sorry about the quality of the photos, I only had my camera phone with me at the time and didn't want to miss the opportunity!]
