I am a magician. I can disappear in the blink of an eye. I also can make food disappear in a split second and make shoes, toys and bottles fly. See me sit. Now see me stand. See me here. Now see me there. Cheerios? What Cheerios? Either they’ve disappeared into my mouth or you’ll find them under the table flung far and wide.

Happy New Year! I’ve already accomplished my first resolution. It was to see the ball drop for New Years Eve. Mom and Dad let me stay up, have some [grape juice] champagne and stay up real late. I got to ring in the New Year just like everyone else (except Evan).

It’s been a cold and relaxing holiday week at home with the family. Our holiday sitter got hurt and couldn’t babysit us, so we were home with Mommy and Daddy. We had shopping trips and errands to run. And we played with our toys and cleaned up the house – every day because we have so many toys. My favorite toy is a bubble gum machine that plays music every time a ball rolls out. Elise’s favorite toy is her Littlest Pet Shop, but she’s enjoying the ribbon that decorated the tree the most.

And it’s back to our regular schedule this week. Back to Kay’s house. Back to work. Back to early bedtimes. I’m also going to start going to the tip-toe gym every week…try to kick my tip-toe habit. I consider it high heel practice, but no one else likes that idea.
