You could have named me WHAT????

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

Thank you for not naming some bizarre, wacky name that would be embarrassing for the teacher to say in Kindergarten (which I am looking forward to attending.) I am now learning that you could have picked ANY name you wanted. That's a big responsibility for you two. You could have named Dawbrickashawna if you wanted... or that Seamus McBagpipes name. Yeah, I heard you. I was in Mommy's tummy, not the moon. So, I guess I should say thank you for naming me a classy name. By the way.... I feel bad for these celebrity kids. What was in their Kool-Aid? My guess is Moxie CrimeFighter might be the hall monitor, but there is no WAY that Bluebell Madonna is going to be my Class President.

Love,

Sadiebug (Aka Sadie Angelica)

We interrupt this blog for an important announcement...

Warner Brothers has released the new (but brief) Trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. You can view it here. We now return to our normal Sadiebug programming.

Hey there, Luna Lovegood!!!

I'm a little under the weather...

I have what Mommy and I call the "Sneezles". The Sneezles sometimes come around when I'm near grass, or when I'm running around outside. But right now, I'm getting the Sneezles a lot. So is Daddy. I think it's funny when I have a Sneezle attack, but Mommy wasn't so thrilled this morning. The Sneezle is now a full on explosion!!! I had a snot torpedo shoot out of my nose this morning when we were trying to get in the car. Mommy yelled a naughty word, and realized she didn't have a tissue. I gotta say... it was kinda cool to see so much stuff come flying out of my nose at once. That doesn't happen every day.

Yes, I do read about stars...

How else am I going to be an astronaut?

Luckily, Mommy works on the same floor as the nice ladies who work at Smithsonian Books. They had to clean out their closet... and Mommy has been coming home with lots of goodies!

Daddy is threatening to get me this t-shirt....

I can't help it that I'm popular.

You can get this t-shirt here.

A word about teething...

Teeth are good things to have... but boy, I'm sick of this teething thing. They make me cranky even on a sunny day. Mommy assured me that once they come in, they are there for awhile. But I was looking at some older kids. And they have missing teeth! And then I look at adults and I'm thinking these suckers are going to fall out, and then I have to go through this all over again! What a raw deal.

I think the look on my face tells you everything you need to know about what I think of teething.

But you know what I really don't like?

Those ones way in the back. Mommy calls them "molars"... I call them a big royal pain!

I don't even want people lookin' at me...

Blech!

Yoga is good for you!!!

I'm a big fan of doing a little yoga before bedtime. I do a Downward Facing Sadie, and breathe a little. It calms me after a very hectic day of teething, looking at books, and playing with Owl. You'll meet my friend Owl later... but she's great! But she only wants to hang out at night. By then, I'm a little tired. If you like yoga too, you might like this book: My Daddy is a Pretzel.

My Daddy is NOT a pretzel. Mommy said she tried to teach him a little before I was born, but she giggled when he tried it, and now he doesn't want to do it anymore. Maybe I can convince him to do some yoga with me instead. I promise not to giggle.

I could do that.

All I need is a bucket, a shovel, and a sandbox. But this gives Uncle Eric some ideas so he doesn't get bored in the desert.

Me and Daddy on Father's Day....

My daddy is better lookin' than your daddy...

I'm just being honest.

It's Stick Out Your Tongue Day!!!

Stick out your tongue!!!

Come on, all the cool kids are doin' it!!!

Oooooh... I want that for Christmas!

I see a lot of pictures of Uncle Eric in a desert with other people dressed like him. I want to look like a sassy soldier too. I think I have the loud voice like Drill Sargeant, but I didn't think they would make anything in my size. Well... look what I found at TuttiBella.com! And it's in my size!!!

I wonder if I can find boots to go with it. But I don't want to wear it in a desert... I have really sensitive skin.

And you know what? I miss my Uncle Eric. I think he would like my elephant jokes. *sniff*

It's JOKE DAY!!!!

I love sitting in a bucket and hearing jokes. Here are my two favorites right now...

Who is the most famous female singing elephant?

Hmmm... Who could it be?

It's Elephants Gerald!

Get it? like Ella Fitzgerald? It took Daddy a little bit to get that one.

Here's another one....

Who is the most famous male singing elephant?

Ready?

Harry Elephante!

DAAAAAAYYYY-o!!!

That's one of my favorites. And you can listen to the song on my playlist at the bottom. Daaaaayy-O.... good times...

Baltimore is an okay place to live...

But Sesame Street looks so exciting! I wonder if Mommy and Daddy would consider moving there. It looks like a lot of fun! The 39th season of Sesame Street starts on August 11... I can't wait!!!!

Mommy wants me to be cultured...

But I found this kinda creepy. And funny. But a little creepy.

Beeker is an odd little guy... but I like Animal! He's cool.

I've been dancing a lot lately...

I've been shimmying and grooving and moving!!! Whenever I listen to music, I just have to move. Apparently Zoe is the same way. For those of you who don't watch Sesame Street (and you should because it's a really, really good show) Zoe usually wears a ballet outfit. This is a picture of her and her friend Fran Brill. She loves dancing like me. I found this game while I was online. It lets you create Zoe's dance moves and a dance outfit. Mommy says all of her friends play on something called Facebook when they should be working. This should be a nice change.

If you are a really big Muppet fan... check out this Wiki that I found with lots and lots of info. I can't wait to go see the Jim Henson exhibit at the Smithsonian... it opened this week!

This blog was brought to you by the letter G and the number 4!!!

I went to see Dr. Sherri yesterday...

And I'm still a big and healthy kid. She said I'm big for my age but I'm growing like I should. It must be all that milk and applesauce. I also got two shots... I didn't like those. They gave a Hello Kitty band-aid... but still, it hurt.

Even though I'm a big kid, I've noticed that all of you are still pretty tall. Do people ever stop growing? Will I ever catch up to you? I've also noticed there are other kids around too. Some are really little. Like, itty-bitty tiny.

When we went to the mall to go shopping over the weekend, Mommy and Daddy let me walk around (as long as I held Daddy's hand.) It was awesome! That stroller is SO yesterday...

But I noticed my sandals were a little tight... I think I need to go shoe shopping again. Do they make flip-flops in my size? I kinda have big feet.

This is me and my ball popper...

Nainie and Grampa gave me the ball popper for Christmas, and I LOVE it.

First, you put the balls in it. Then you push the red button. Then it plays music. Then those balls come flying out of the shoot and into the air.

I bet you can imagine what happened after this picture was taken.

Sometimes, when I'm bored, I stick a cell phone down the little hole. It fits nicely, but I have a hard time getting it out.

I like being barefoot....

When I had to wear shoes when it was cold, I hated it. A lot. As soon as Daddy would start driving, I would start taking my shoes and socks off just so I could wiggle my toes. When it started to get warm, Daddy bought me these. Now I can sorta wiggle my toes. They aren't as awesome as being barefoot, but they'll do.

Me and the dudes on Father's Day!!!!!

That's Poppy, Me, Daddy and Granddad!!! We even had matching outfits (that was an accident, but a funny accident). I'm actually wearing my t-shirt from the Baltimore Aquarium that I got a long, long time ago when Nainie and Grampa were visiting. It was one of my first visits to a museum and I was only a few weeks old.

In that picture there are FOUR generations of us! Granddad is 91, so his birthday year is around when Benjamin Franklin was born. Or maybe my math is wrong. It could be wrong. Wait, that can't be right....

I meant Abraham Lincoln.
