         My mommy has red-brown hair that is all mixed up. It comes out of one side and she has short hair and curly hair. I think she has blue eyes and it’s light blue. Her lips are red and sometimes her lips are pink. When she puts her lipstick on then her lips are pink. She wears green makeup–sometimes on her cheeks. She uses a brush and you can’t really see it because it’s all rubbed in there, all over her cheeks. She is really pretty because she has blue eyes and on her toes she has red nail polish. My mommy is as pretty as a ballerina.

         Mommy goes to the courthouse for work. She also does home visits, that’s also her work, sometimes they are really long. She talks to the person. I think they talk about how is her courthouse doing. It is a hard job because my mom has to talk a lot and she probably gets tired of talking. The courthouse is at the side road near the Jumpy House.

         At home, mommy cleans the floor and she vacuums my room and Sam’s room. Sometimes my dad does it, if he’s off work. To clean the floor she has a mop with wipes on it and if it runs out, she just puts a new wipe on it. Sometimes I do it because I like doing it, because I have a little one. Sometimes mommy cooks and sometimes Jane cooks. Jane cooks better because she cooks really good lasagna. Mommy cooks hot potato good, and sometimes she cooks fish with cinnamon and a cheesy cream on top and I like it and I eat it all up and I ask for more. I don’t like when she cooks like noodles with carrots and stuff.

         Mommy shops at the supermarket. She goes to Giant and Wegmans. She buys carrots, two packs of noodles, three packs of fish and sometimes jello and if it’s her birthday she buys a cookie. At Giant sometimes she buys loads of sweet potatoes for my brother. Well he used to like it, but now he doesn’t, he just likes mac and cheese.

         Panera is mommy’s favorite restaurant. She gets salad and I get tomato soup with the crunchies and the juice and the bread. Mommy drinks water and that’s all. With ice. She gets a cookie for dessert. It is almost the size of your head. It is a circle shaped oval. Sometimes I eat the whole thing, sometimes we split it in half.

         Mommy likes to go to California for vacation and sometimes we go to the beach. Mommy helps me swim and learn how to dive in the water. We went to New York City and mommy likes when we went to Coney Island. Mommy went in the water and sat in the chair a lot.

         My mommy is special because she plays with me and she takes me to the gym.

She loves me because she kisses me a lot and hugs me a lot. I love her because she is so wonderful!

         My daddy has black hair and his eyes are black or brown or something. His face feels a little bumpy but soft. It is bumpy because the hairs are bumpy. He takes a little thing that gets those off. He puts white stuff on there and then he rubs it on his cheeks and part of his mouth. Then he uses a scraper to get it off. I can’t do it because I would hurt myself. My daddy is 16 inches, pretty big. He can lift up a house or a long, big building. He is so strong!

         Daddy helps people. He’s a doctor because he goes to the hospital near my house. He helps kidneys. A kidney is in your body, hiding maybe in your heart? I think. If the heart’s not beating and you are about to die my daddy helps it. He’s really smart. Smarter than me.

         Daddy only wears the blue clothes when he goes to the doctor and he wears a tie too. He wears the white clothes when he goes to the hospital. The white tie goes with the white clothes and the blue tie goes with the blue clothes. When we go to the gym he wears shorts.

         Daddy gets his money from the bank. You have to give them money and then new money comes back out. They give it to him so he gets lots more money. You don’t have to do anything except push the buttons and then the money comes out. Inside the bank a boy pushes the buttons and gives daddy money. Daddy keeps it in his wallet. He uses it to buy things like the Temple, and like the Giant.

         To relax daddy sits and lays on the couch. He watches the news and rests. The news is that there is a fire in New York City or California or Israel. In Israel, there is orange sand and no plants, because I saw a movie about it. But there is animals. Sometimes daddy watches video shows like someone loves each other, like that.

         Daddy cooks oatmeal and banana. That’s all. I like oatmeal because it has cinnamon in it. Mommy mostly cooks breakfast.

         My daddy likes baseball and soccer ball. Baseball you have to throw the ball with the bat and sometimes I do it. Then someone has to catch it with a round glove on. If they win they get a trophy. In soccer you have to kick the ball. I did soccer but I didn’t like it. I put myself in a time out.

         I love playing hide and seek with daddy. He always hides behind the bushes and I find him. He can’t ever find me.

         My daddy is special because of his hands. I love him because he’s my favorite dad. He loves me because he likes kissing me and hugging me.
