DEREK'S PAGE








HI!! My name is Derek and I am four and one half years old. My Nana thinks I am the most "Handsome" young man she has seen in a long, long time. I don't know how long a "long,long time" is but it must be a *lonnnnnnngg* time. Don't tell anyone but I think my Nana is "OK" herself. We do a lot of things together. I spend the night with Papa and Nana almost every Thursday night and my Nana plays with me all day Fridays. We play with my Hot Wheels and I ride by bike, I drive my four wheel jeep and we do lots and lots of stuff. Sometimes I have to remind my Nana to sit down. I'll tell you a *secret*, if I tell her, "Nana, you really need to sit down in your chair", she will go sit down in her chair and then I can sit in her lap.

My most favorite thing in this whole big world is "Choo Choo" Trains. I have a wholeeee lot of "Choo Choo's". I have 'Thomas the Tank' and a big track with a whole lot of trains that have names and I really like to with them. I really, really love my "Choo Choo" trains. Hey! You know What !! I got to spend the night in a *Caboose* at "Casey Jones Village" on my birthday when I turned four years old. It was really, really neat. Inside the Caboose were two beds and it had a ladder going up where the engineers use to sit and I could sit and look out the window from the top. For some reason my Mommy and daddy didn't sleep as much as they do at home. Of course, I didn't want to go to bed because I wanted to enjoy "everyyyyyy" minute I could while I was there. It is really neat to stay up 'til one o'clock in the morning. I had such a good time, but for some reason my mommy and daddy were tired.




You know what? I am going to see my Uncle Kirk this week and I am going to get to ride the "Amtrak Train" all the way to Denver, Co. Yippee !! I am going to get to sleep in the "Choo Choo" for two nights. I am going to have a really, really good time. "Unk" Kirk said he was going to carry me "snow" tubing. I think that will be fun but a little bit "scarsey". I'm a big boy though and I am going to ride with my "Unk" Kirk so he will take care of me. My "Unk's" a pretty cool *Dude* ! Hey !! Hey!! You know what? My Mommy won't get to go snow tubing with us because she has my little sister or brother in her tummy now. I think I will start with a little "sister". I ask my Nana if she was going to take care of me when my Mommy went to the hospital to get that baby and my Nana said,"Why!! Of course I am Derek!" I really, really want a little sister but my Nana says I have to keep it even if it is a little brother.




I have a whole lot of 'favorite' things ! I really like to watch cartoons. You will find a 'wholeee' lot of my favorite cartoon characters and their websites down at the bottom of my page. My Nana puts them there where she can let me play with the computer. When I got big enough to like to watch cartoons my Nana said my favorite one was "little Bear" and "Franklin". Others I liked a whole lot was 'Barney' and 'Blues Clues'. My Mommy gets me a lot of 'Veggie Tales' to watch and guess what, I can sing just like "Larry Boy" !! Do you know who Larry Boy is?





I Lovvvvveeeeeee "Toy Story" !

woody-buss01 Wow !! It is really exciting, a little bit *scarsey* at first but I really, really like it, I really like "Buzz" ! He's really neat !The best way in the world for my Mommy to get housework done is to put in this tape and let me watch it.

There is a lot of Movies I like so Nana and I usually watch them after I get my bath at night. We always put a tape in after we go to bed. You know what is funny !! My Nana goes to sleep most of the time.


ladytrampani" I love to watch Lady and The Tramp. My Nana does too. Lady is a really, really good dog. I keep wondering why they put her in the "Doghouse" outdoors when that baby was born. You don't think that's what's going to happen to me, do you? I don't think my Mommy or Daddy would do that 'cause they love me too much !!



dumbo"

One of my most favoriteeeee movies is "Dumbo". Dumbo has a friend that is a little mouse and they have lots of fun together. He is really "neat" !! I don't like it when the other elephants make fun of Dumbo!! That's not nice when you make fun of anyone. Dumbo has great big ear but he can fly because of them and he is really nice. My Nana says all things and all people are different and God makes us that way. She says life would be very boring if we all looked alike ! I don't think I would like that too much !! I think I like looking like Me !!



Nana and Papa says I'm a "Rootin'", "Tootin'", youngun' that just loves the outdoors. We try every week to spend one whole day outside while I am there. We have a swing on a limb of the Apple Tree and I love to swing on it and I found "Rollie Pollies" a couple weeks back for the first time. They are really, really neat. I lovvvvvveeeee to play outside !!

I get to water my Nana's flowers and sometimes I just accidently water her!! You should see her run!! Nana has me strawberries in pots to pick and we have tomatoes that I get to pull off the vine....I really like the little "Tommie Toes" !! I can always find things to do and keep Nana on her toes !! There's never a dull minute in this house or yard !!

Come back and visit because Nana will update this page pretty often. Be sure and visit my favorite links while you are here. Maybe your little boys and girls will enjoy them too. SO before this "Train" pulls out, let me just say, "ALL A-B-0ARRDDDD!!"
