Hi everyone!
Thea here.
According to my mommy, I've been "growing like a weed." I has something to do with the fact that I can now reach all the light switches in the house. (That, of course, means I am now in charge of them all. At least, that's my logic.)
I've gotten so long, mommy couldn't even get all of my long, long legs in this picture.
So now you're all wondering . . . how does she do it? What is her secret?
Well, if it came in a bottle . . . babies would drink it. (ah,ha,ha,ha,ha! sorry, a little pre-schooler humor there.)
Anyway, for you, my dear friends and family, I am finally ready to share the formula to my success. You too can "grow like a weed" if you just follow these simple steps.
Step #1--get plenty of exercise.
When you jump on the back of a dolphin, don't just ride it for fun. Get serious, people! You've got to really ride that crazy thing! It helps if you can pretend that you're Ariel the Mermaid.
Step #2--eat plenty of protein
Now I know some of you out there get a power trip out of being a "picky eater." That's all very well, but you can find real power by scarfing every bit of meat you can find.
Here I am at Famous Dave's, having finished off the "kids' meal" ribs (yeah, right). Now I'm tucking into several from daddy's plate.
As far as I'm concerned, happiness is spelled "p-o-r-k!"
And, last but not least . . .
step #3--take time to stop and smell the flowers
And if you're trying to grow like a weed, there's just no better flower to stop and smell than dandelions. :-)
They are everywhere! And, for some reason, mommy never stops me when I want to pick them. In addition to being plentiful and pickable, they turn your nose yellow when you smell them!
What's not to love?
So keep on growing!
Love,
Althea
