POOTIEPOTTAMUS TURNS TWO!!

Dear Pootie-

Another year older!! Time flies, does'nt it little buddy? Or as they say, Tempis Fugit-That is Latin for "Time flies". SO now you can credit me for teaching you your first Latin phrase.

Since you already know what "Yuengling"is, at some point in the future I will introduce you to "Uno Cervaza, PorFavor", "Ein Pils", and even our own language of "Whatchagotontap?", which isused when going into a place you haven’t been before...

Anyway, lets talk about you.

You have certainly changed a lot in the last year, what with learning how to walk, then run, then run away from your mom while you are naked during diaper change, and knowing the difference between "TT" and "doo doo". Last year you sat and stared out the front door along with the dogs, and now you are able to walk out the door, and into the yard without letting anyone know it. This is a great thing for you I know but do me a favor and let your momma know you're going to step out for some air, please?

Next year I will teach you what all men do in the yard, but make sure you do it only in our yard, not the neighbors like your Uncle Joe did when he was your age.

You are a serious music lover, and sing along to every song that comes on the radio, to include the theme song for Spongebob Squarepants and even"Bonanza", which we ride the horsey to- (dun de de lun de de lun dun dun dundunn dunnnnnnnn)--and already I can tell that you like the Westerns on TV just like I do. This year has flown by, and your Momma is even more crazy about you now than she was a year ago, if that’s possible. She and Grandma still try calling you "Christopher" (as if that were your name or something) but only when you are in trouble. You need to tuck that away for future use, Bunkus--if you hear "Christopher" my advice to you is put a small book in the seat of your pants just in case. When I hear "George" I always make like I can't hear anyone, but you can't do that yet. That will come later on when you're grown and have a Wife. But your Momma absolutely thinks that you are the greatest fellow in the world. I don’t think that’s ever going to change.

Lyndsay, or Yee-Yee, as you call her, understands what its like to be the youngest. She can show you the way and by the way she plays with you even more than she does the dogs.

Uncle Joe. Now this is something you need to know about. Uncle Joe is the only other guy in the house besides you and me, Bunkus. He really likes you a lot, but he does not do it like the girls do, with hugs, kisses, and a lot of sissy girl stuff. He is a teenager, something you will be one day.

But for now, just know we adore the Pootie. Especially me. I love you PBR!

Sincerely,

"TAH"
