From the desk of Alice - A New Recruit

My Dearest friends,

The Giants have informed me that we will be joined by a new recruit. I have assigned the code name of "Ultra" for now until our first meeting.



Clearly Ultra's main tasks will be to support me in my daily activities. I have started to come up with a list of responsibilities for Ultra including bringing me toys to play with, finding tasty food to eat and laying out coordinated outfits for me to wear. I do enjoy looking my best for the adoring public.

The Giants are unable to provide me an exact arrival date of Ultra. They inform me that I should expect an appearance around March 22nd 2014. I trust that this subordinate will be apt at pulling me in a winter sled.


Alas, I must bid you farewell,
Yours always,
Alice

From the desk of Alice - My Great Escape

My Dearest friends,

Since the last time I wrote there are a few changes in this home I share with The Giants. The one that seems to excite them the most is when I sit upon the toilet. Sometimes I do my business directly into the porcelain receptacle, but other times I just insist that The Giants stay with me and read stories. I do enjoy this particular story about a princess and a frog that involves a net, but I digress. I've heard rumors in daycare that some Giants compensate regular sized people with smarties for each toilet use - up to 2 smarties for a movement. Until my Giants get into line with the current local rates, I think that it would be a disservice to them if I used the toilet without proper compensation.

One hobby that I have taken up is the Art of Tower Building, or ATB for short. It helps me relax and model projects and concepts that I have been working on in my spare time. However, I must say that it is quite difficult to model 4 dimensional spaces with nesting blocks, so it is good that I enjoy the challenge.

As part of my exercise regime, I try to get some swing time every day. Grandpa David has brought over a swing set that used to belong to Aunt Valerie. I affectionately refer to it as "Grandpa Park" and I try to spend some time on it every time The Giants take me outside. It is one of many swings that I have incorporated as part of my workout.

Daily exercise can be exhilarating
Recently The Giants converted my "crib" into a "toddler bed". I am not exactly sure of the process of this conversion, but I do believe that The Fuzzy Giant had to make a blood sacrifice and pledge oaths to a deity. When they showed me, I could not help but laugh manically. The Giants provided me a way to get in and out of my own bed. Any. Time. I. Want. The fools!


Alas, I must bid you farewell,
Yours always,
Alice
