Sugar!

Saturday morning Mom and I frosted Halloween cookies. We baked the cookies the day before.

Mom was still her her pajamas. I am learning how to frost the cookies.

They are pretty good. I even got to put on sprinkles.

This is what it looked like when we were done.

Saturday evening Sabrina celebrated her 2nd birthday. I am lying on a pillow enjoying a lollipop from Sabrina's mom.

That's Sabrina. I didn't hit her because it was her birthday.

Cake!? Oh boy! I got the second piece because I was so excited.

Dad helped me eat it.

Almost 20-some Months!

I am finally just two! My mother can no longer remember how many months. This is me earlier this morning. Yup, I am holding Cubbie the Colar (for some reason, I am not getting the P) Bear and NOT my lion. I have been having sleeping problems so I have been staying up late with Mom-last night we watched our first movie together much to her chagrin. We watched "ALASKA" where two teens and their polar bear cub rescue the kid's father who is trapped on an Alaskan mountainside. I WATCHED the whole thing and was entranced by the bear cub, the water falls, and the helicopters. I stayed up past 10 o'clock! Much to my surprise, I had a Cubbie the Colar Bear in my stuffed animal collection from Mom's Cousin Matt. I LOVE this bear. I have spent the day with it so far.

Preschool is going great. I participate in circle time more and more....

I love the puzzles.

and art projects.

I still hang with my old friends, Sabrina, Kaden, & Josh. Sabrina and I still hit each other a lot.

This is me sleeping. I have been really bad about getting a good night sleep.

I went to a birthday party last weekend. They had cool toys to play with. Check out this palm tree sword!

I got a new hair doo in the bouncy thing...

I still love Kaden.

I enjoy sitting on this pink train whenever we go to the local mall.

My parents have been rebuilding our deck. They are hoping to have it done before winter. So a lot of things are going on. I will keep you updated.

Simple Pleasures

I am learning how to blow bubbles. Shortly after this picture, I spilled all the soap.

Preschool is a lot of fun. This is how I wear my name tag.

When I am not painting (which is a new passion) I am riding horses.

Lydia is the new girl.

Last Wednesday evening we went to the Bouncy Place in the warehouse district of Kent. They had HUGE blow up toys.

I had a good time with Dad, while Mom painted other kid's faces. This was a fund raising event for my school. Kaden, Josh, & Sabrina came too. We all had a really good time.

I am learning how to use the chuck-it at the dog park. I can pick up the ball but I am still working on my throw.

I just retrieved the ball. Una sometimes does not bring it back properly.

This is a rare quiet moment with some of my friends.

Tricycle

I am getting better at peddling. Dad put my trike on a string and helps me go places. I think I am beginning to like this thing.

I also have been introduced to the mini trampoline. I like it.

At school yesterday, teacher Diane talked about apples.

I glued for the first time....

and painted my first picture.

There it is.

I really liked these plastic bears. Mom showed me that they came in three sizes-small, medium, & large.

You can match the pictures with the bears.

I drove with Malisa.

Puyallup Fair

Yesterday, Poppa & Grandma Jeanie took me to the fair. It's like a State Fair. Merry-go-rounds are fun! Even the girl riding behind me was having about just as much fun as I was having.

I did enjoy the John Deere area. They had kid stuff and

REAL TRACTORS!

Hey! Look at me!

I really liked the baby chicks.

And the horse butts. It was fun to see all the animals.

Labor Day & Pre School

It's getting harder to be my photographer because I WANT the camera. My mother is telling me no.

Daddy was working on rebuilding our deck this weekend. He was so tired on Monday we took a nap together. Una, our hel hound (Her eyes are glowing), watched over us.

Today I started pre school. It's a little different from Burien. The space is smaller so stuff cannot stay out, but needs to be put away. Poppa came today too. It started out on a happy note.

I didn't want to dance at circle time-but then, circle time has never been my thing. I just sat on Mom's lap.

Almost half way through I ran for the door. It was locked and I wanted to leave.

Diane, the teacher enticed me back with play dough. It worked!

Making stuff.

Snack time was enjoyable. I am sitting next to Alana. We are both June kids, we know each other from the library.

They had flax seed instead of a water table. It was still fun. We go again tomorrow. Mom's supposed to drop me off, but I do not think that I will be ready for her to leave.

No more crib

My crib got altered into a little bed. I have rolled out of it several times. When my mother remembers, she puts cushions down on the floor. I love my truck blanket and pillow case.

Whenever Mom takes pictures, I try and take the camera away from her. I like to press the buttons. Some how I managed to change the size of the picture to something smaller than what an 8.1 produces. Mom is trying to fix it.

I threw a ball last week into some huge weeds. Una got trapped and covered in hundreds of these peppercorn sized burrs. She had to go and get shaved.

I hang out with Poppa a lot. He likes taking me to the local Garden Center.

They have a REALLY HUGE gong! I am sure that they love it when I hit it too!
