A guest blogger.


Hi! My name is Grant. I am two and a half years old. I believe in late to bed, early to rise. And I like to start every morning asking for chicken nuggets. Or marshmallows. I always help my mom cook. I just pick up a chair and bring it close to the counter. It's easy! Mommy lets me dump the cups and lick all the bowls clean. If I am really quiet, I get a head start on the eggs. One time I cracked a whole dozen on the floor. But Daddy was home that time. I also do the dishes... I love to use a whole bottle of soap to make them really clean!

Well, my days are really swamped. I'm really busy keeping Henry in line. Good 'ol Henry. He always forgets which toys are his and which are mine. He can't crawl as fast as me, but if I coach him, he'll crawl to the edge of the stairs or under a chair. Actually, if you just pull on his leg, he slides across the floor pretty easily. And, no, he doesn't mind if I eat his Cheerios.

My mom plays Frisbee with me in the back yard. I think she needs to practice running more, though, because I can totally run faster. Especially on the road.

If my mom has good treats, sure, I'll go in the toilet. Sometimes I'm just too busy for that.

My favorite things are: Backyardigans, singing songs, playing hide-the-phone-and-push-the-page-button, snacks, playing darts with Dad, laying on Henry.

Here is some good advice: Saying "Please" or "Sorry, mommy/Henry/Daddy" is usually your ticket out of time out. But if you are stuck in your room for a time out, don't worry, just keep yourself busy by climbing the furniture or kicking the walls.

Mommy and Daddy need me to help them fall asleep. If I ask them to tickle my back when they put me in bed, then they fall asleep on the floor next to me. It works like a charm.

So, I'm pretty much the boss around here.

Hi! I blog stalk you...but Spencer totally knows us so it is okay...but this is hilarious!! I had to read it out loud to some friends. I think the reason I like it the most is because I could have easily written the same thing about my boy. He totally shares the same belief of late to bed, early to rise and often asks for chicken nuggets for breakfast...this makes me happy because I thought Carter might be a little weird...but nope...he and Grant would get along stupendously! I loved "Grant's" little story!

I really enjoyed your story. It sounds alot like Lukas' day except instead of chicken nuggets (which he really enjoys those too), he asks for mac n cheese for EVERY meal. That was a cute creative story. You are so funny.

Kimberly said...

Emily I must say that your little Grant is a character beyond words. Seriously. And I totally recognise that suit from Spencer! That boy is his father's son for sure. I'm glad you can laugh. Good luck sleeping.

Mason Bourne said...

hahaha! That was funny. I laughed out loud when you said that Grant threw a whole dozen eggs on the floor.

It is official...the more I stare at that picture the more I think Grant was supposed to be Ashley's son...however, the activities seem very
Spencer-esque. Awesome entry Em...someday you will be so glad you have these memories captured.

Will and Heidi said...

Hi Em, very creative you are. Love to see your pictures on here.

Although a lot of people say there are similarities between myself and the most adorable Grant, he escaped the squinty eyes I have. But I'll claim him. You should have him call me, he loves talking to Ashee!

Well Mr. Spencer, how the heck are you? Sounds like your family is doing well! I can't believe how big Henry is! He was still a bump last time I saw him!(which was never) Good thing you taught me how to blog! Miss you guys
