Feb 19 2008 Nine Months Old

Today I am nine months old. Yes, I am ancient of days. I have many things to do today. However, the most important thing I have to do is take a bath. Did you know I like to read books? I really like "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" and "Moo, Baa, Lalala" and "Sweet Dreams" and "The Going to Bed Book." I also like "Where is Baby's Bellybutton?" and "Are You My Mother?". Oh Miss Doris, you will be so proud of me. I am going to make up my own story today. Hehehemmmmmm (clearing throat.)

"Is this Erynn's Bathtub?"

by Erynn Ann Edmunds

I am nine month's old today.

I need to take a bath.

Can you help me find my bathtub?

Is this Erynn's bathtub?

No, this is not my bathtub. This is my high-angle bouncy chair. I play with my spinning bears here.

Is this Erynn's bathtub?

No, this is not my bathtub.

This is Daddy's bed. I practice rolling over here.

I like to race Daddy to bed and jump in before he can.

Is this Erynn's bathtub ?

No, this is not my bathtub. This is my jiggly chair. I practice pulling and flinging things here. Mommy will sing everytime I pull on the blue butterfly.

Is this Erynn's bathtub ?

No, this is not my bathtub.

This is my cradle swing. I play with toys here.

Grandpa falls asleep when he watches me play with toys.

Is this Erynn's bathtub ?

No, this is not my bathtub. This is my rocking chair where I hang out with my stuffed animals. My crib is getting too full for everyone to stay in there with me.

Is this Erynn's bathtub ?

No, this is not my bathtub. This is my bobby pillow. I can sit up with a little help now. I get very busy when I sit up and have a tray to hold things for me.

Is this Erynn's bathtub ?

No, this is not my bathtub. This is my car seat. I don't like getting into my car seat. I like to ride in the car, so I have to ride in a car seat.

Is this Erynn's bathtub ?

No, this is not my bathtub. This is my Excersaucer. It is a castle and I am the Princess. I bounce when I am happy and I bounce when I am mad.

Is this Erynn's bathtub ?

No, this is not my bathtub. This is my play gym. I listen to music and chat with visitors here. I think I might be a soprano. I like to sing the very high notes.

Is this Erynn's bathtub ?

No, this is not my bathtub. This is my crib. I come here after my bath to get dry and warm. Shhhhh, my baby is sleeping.

Is this Erynn's bathtub ?

No, this is not my bathtub. This is my high chair. I play with food here. My high chair has water and waves and fish and toys.

Is this Erynn's bathtub ? Umm . . .

Yes, this is my new bathtub. I am too big for my old bathtub.

I am too little for Mommy and Daddy's bathtub.

The kitchen sink is just right for me.

Yes, this is Erynn's bathtub.

The End.
