A Day at the Symphony

Yesterday, mommy and daddy took me to the symphony. I went dressed as a ballerina. We sat up really high and it kind of scared daddy when I got near the railing. I danced to Star Wars and then we walked over the the museum. They had a really pretty garden and a pretty gigantic red fork.

Halloween 2011

Grandpa, Grandma, and Auntie Em took me to a pumpkin patch last weekend! I just ran and ran and ran!

Then Mommy and Daddy took me to El Dia los Muertos on Saturday and I danced to the mariachi music with Turo!

But tonight was my favorite because we went trick or treating near the park! Last Halloween I didn't know much about candy, but I sure do now! My favorite thing about Halloween this year was running up to the house to get candy. I followed Maryle a lot and held hands with mommy while we walked down the street! I decided that I wanted to "Trick and Treat forever!" And then about 8 pm I got tuckered out and sat down on the curb. Now, I'm going to eat all my candy!

Playin' and colorin'

I'm talking a whole lot now! Mommy and daddy can pretty much understand everything I say. Sometimes I get a bit bossy though. I love going to the library and I really love singing songs about my friends and family. Dad taught me to sing "Cool it Now" by New Edition and I sing it all the time.
Hanging out with Redding and reading Scott Pilgrim:

I love to bark like Diego dog and I'm getting really good at hiding in the house! Mommy had to buy me squeaky shoes so she won't lose me.

I love wearing my PJs:




During Spring Break we went to the square and listened to music:

Then we drew on long paper with crayons like sidewalk chalk:

I got my own cardboard house to play in.
I went to the zoo with Redding and Finn:

And I even got to stay the night with Nannan.

I'm looking forward to the summertime!

Gotta Gotta Get Up to Get Down

I've been saying lots of cool new phrases, and I've even memorized a lot of the beginning of my picture books.
"I get up" " I get down" "Going to the library"
In the middle of the night I woke up, pulled on my socks and said, "I don't like socks!"
I spend a lot of time talking about all of my grandparents and relatives, and I still love reading. In fact, I'll spend 20 minutes a day just looking at my books.

Redding's been coming over a lot lately, and I try to boss him around, but he won't really do what I want him to. He does let me push him around a lot on my Winnie the Pooh plane though.

Old B and Auntie Em come over a lot too. I really like playing with Old B!!

P.s. I'm saying whole sentences some days. I can say almost all of the words in a few of my word books. Plus, I like to repeat the end of people's sentences. I can name all the parts of my face, march in place while saying "march" and so many new things everyday it is hard to keep track!
