So mommy has been feeling especially guilty lately about not spending time with me. I've mastered the whole guilt trip thing. I tell mom all the time that I want to go to the mall. Mom and I used to spend lots of time at the mall but, not so much anymore. The guilt trip works though because mom said if I was good yesterday that we could go on a special field trip...just the two of us! So last night I was great! I went to bed on time, I ate dinner, I didn't talk back (which was hard). So this morning mom took me to McDonalds and then we got to eat our breakfast at the table by the beach. We watched the Junior Life Guards and the surfers and some pigeons. After breakfast at the beach we went to the bank and mom took me to school.
