1. Matthew James Pietrorazio A day in the life of … by my best pal Simba (& my Dad) 20-Feb 2004

2. My day starts when I’m damn good and ready for it to.

3. I usually get up before Dad has a chance to make the coffee (he he).

4. I always have breakfast with Mommy.

5. Mornings are a lot of fun.

6. In fact, I do some of my very best work in the morning …

7. Here’s one I’m particularly proud of.

8. I like all of my cool toys. A baby stuffed lion named ‘Simba’ is my favorite.

9. If my Mom or Dad take me anywhere, they tie me up in this weird chair. Dad tells me the 5-point racing harness is very cool. But I don’t buy it.

10. I like to go to visit Grandma …

11. … and Nana …

12. … and I especially like to visit my cousins (even though they are all bigger than me). (even though they are all bigger than me). Sam, 12 (Jill’s) Griffen, 2 (Jill’s) Celia (CJ), 1 (Jill’s) Deanna, 3 (Dean’s) Morgan, 9 mos (Dean’s)

13. I went to see Santa Claus around Christmas time. He brought me lots and lots of presents.

14. I occasionally take a cat nap. Simba watches me to make sure none of the other animals try to play with my toys while I’m asleep.

15. I eat a lot …

16. … I mean A LOT ! A LOT !

17. Peace, man. (do they even make tie-dyed infant apparel?)

18. In the evenings, I get a hot bath. (I didn’t allow any bath photography because it always ends up in the yearbook!) When I get out, Mommy puts me in the frog towel so I don’t get cold.

19. My Mom and Dad love me very much. I think they’re OK, too.

20. At bedtime, I fall asleep with Mom. Simba likes to stay awake late …

21. … because Dad says he likes to party. he likes to party. ( Bad Simba! ) ( Bad Simba! )

22. And so until tomorrow, sweet dreams.

23. The End. Love, Simba (& Dad)
