Duty done

I did my first civic duty yesterday and voted in my first election. It was really fun. We went in to the voting place (which doubles as my future elementary school), told these ladies at the check-in table our name (it's on the honor system) and off we went with our ballot to this little booth. It is just like drawing at school. You just color in a bunch of black circles all over the paper. It would be more fun if they have different color pens, like yellow, my favorite color. Then we took our ballot to this machine and it ate it up really fast. I'm told you usually get a sticker as a thank you for voting, but they ran out of them. Oh well, next time.

The machine ate my
ballot before we could
snap the photo. :(

Tell me tales

I've really started to love reading. I'm always carrying books around the house, flipping pages and asking people to read to me. I usually get so excited listening to the tales that I often can't stay seated long enough to find out how the stories end. I sure hope Curious George made it down the tree he was stuck in and that Millie Moo found her farm friends that were hiding from her. Maybe I'll finish the books tomorrow.

Who wants to read to me?

Halloween hoot

Halloween was awesome. First it started with a party at school. Once we all dressed up in our costumes--I was an owl--we had a little dance party to get warmed up. (Check out the video below.) My friend Vera was a peacock and Adi was a tiger. I kept swiping at their headpieces, which they didn't seem to like very much. Then we went over to the park and Wayne the music man came with his guitar and we danced and sang some more.

Next we met up with our friends the Ingermans and went trick or treating in their neighborhood. It was amazing. You just ring the doorbell, walk up to the person holding a candy bowl, smile at the person and take a piece of candy. So simple. I got it down by the third house. Sometimes I even grabbed two or three pieces of candy and other times I didn't grab any. Instead I put my hand in the candy bowl and just moved it around. No one seemed to mind as long as you smile.

Then today we had some friends over for a Halloween party. Mommy and daddy made all this spooky food, like mummy hotdogs, ghost bananas, vampire teeth, cheese spiders, human cheese fingers, vegetables shaped into a big pumpkin and we even had a pumpkin puking guacomole. (He he he.) That was my favorite. Halloween is the funiest holiday!

 

Material girl

Check out my new black leather skirt. I LOVE it. It was a birthday present from Jersey Fran. It made all my daycare girlfriends jealous. :) There are no boys at school that I'm interested in anymore. Instead, I'm really into Fran's grandson, David. We hung out last weekend and he hugged and kissed me many, many times. Daddy started to get a little mad. (He he.) Mommy thought it was funny and just took photos.

This skirt is my favorite!

Me and David. What a hunk!

Monster-ific day

How come I'm just finding out about Halloween?! All you do is dress up in a costume and people give you candy. How cool is that? I don't even care that mommy and daddy take all the candy, it's just fun going up to people and getting to pick something out of their candy bowls. Being a walker rules!! Today I dressed up as a furry monster. Everyone kept calling me adorable and giggling at me. I can't lie, I love all the attention. On the real Halloween on Friday I'm going to be an owl. I've been practicing saying whoo..whoo.



Am I scary? I'm trying to
be scary.

Got my treats and on to
the next place.

This is the best holiday ever!

Needles be gone

I had my one year check up today. The doctor couldn't believe how well I am walking. I now weigh 26 pounds, 4 ounces and I'm 31.5 inches long. That's the 98th percentile. In addition to the normal check up stuff I got four shots. FOUR! They came out of nowhere and boy did they hurt. Not cool doc, not cool.

to see the doctor.
