[Bean is now old enough to write some from his own perspective.]
Daddy is out of town this week. Mommy said he's in a place called Las Vegas. She said it's a playground for grown-ups. I wonder if they have a slide there. Daddy is very busy at a conference, but maybe he will get a chance to find the slide and go down it a few times.
I go to school now. There are toys and other kids to play with. I'm getting better about taking naps there. It's hard to sleep when the lights are on, but I try sometimes.
Daddy comes home tomorrow. That's a good thing. I miss him lots. But there are many other people I miss too -- like the ones I love who live far away. Like Thomas and Amy and Granny and Nana. It's a good thing Mommy and Daddy don't live far away, or Zoe would have to take care of me. She means well, but I don't think she knows which blankie I like best.
Come home soon Daddy.

About Bean
- Baby Bean
- I was born on 3/1/07 at 10:27pm in Seattle. I can sleep through the night and I love books. I smile at every one I meet. I'm not a morning person. I love to read books; in fact, usually it's the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing before bed. My favorite book is Green Eggs and Ham (Previously Moo, Baa, La La La and Twinkle Twinkle). My best friend is Devin. We do a lot together. Sometimes we don't like to share. I can say a lot of words, but I think I'm often misunderstood. I voted for Obama. I don't like mac and cheese. My favorite day is Friday, because that's when the garbage truck comes. I've been to seven states, including Washington.
