Child Labor

I thought that I was earning my keep around the house simply by being cute. Apparently, that is not the case. I have to do all of the cleaning around here!

I Love Bunnies

As you already know, my favorite stuffed animal pal is my friend Bun. He sleeps with me every night and during all of naps. Lately, I love Bun even more than usual. I often insist that Bun sits with me in my highchair when I eat. Sometime, a little bit of food gets on Bun, but he does not mind. I also give Bun some of my food and a little bit of milk. I know that he does not really eat or drink, but I like to pretend. My favorite thing to do is suck on Bun's face, like I am doing in the picture above. After about a week, Bun gets a really pleasant odor and I love to smell his plush fur. On-the-other-hand, mommy and daddy are not quite as enamored with "Eau de Bun" and he is forced to take a weekly bath.

P.S. If you look closely at my shirt in the pictures, you will see that it covered in little brown bunnies, just like Bun!

Fall Fun

Suddenly it is Fall! I was having so much fun this summer and did not realize that it was going to get cold. The best part about Fall is all of the crunchy leaves on the ground. I shuffle my feet through them on the side walk. I also climb into the big leaf piles in our yard. I have also discovered pine cones, which I enjoy carrying around on our walks outside. I posted a picture of me playing in the leaves.

Now that it is getting colder, we are spending more time indoors. Mommy takes me to kids' classes and on play-dates with my friends. I am taking a music class called "Movin n Grovin." I clap my hands and dance when the teacher sings songs. Last week, the teacher sang "The Wheels on the Bus." I could not stop laughing super loud. It is such a silly song. The teacher sometimes brings out a big parachute that I can run underneath or sit on top of.

I am also going to ECFE, which is a class at the grade school near my house. The room at the school is filled with toys and I play for two hours while mommy talks with other mommies about boring things like "community issues," "child-rearing," and "appropriate discipline for a toddler." At last week's ECFE class, a little boy stole a toy vacuum cleaner that I was playing with. I tried to steal it back, but he ran super fast. I ran after him yelling, "Nooonnoonnooonnonnnooonnnoooooooooo." Pretty soon he stopped and I wrestled it away from him. I hope he learned his lesson: "Don't mess with girls."

I also posted a few pictures of my friends Harry and Dax. I usually have a play date with them once a week. In the first picture, we are having a snack on a blanket at Dax's house. In the second picture, Dax and I are modeling our nearly identical (and super cool) outfits. They are both really fun and really good friends.

Babysitting Harry

Last Thursday, we babysat my friend Harry all day. He is two months younger than me, and he is a lot of fun.



This is a picture of Harry and me having our breakfast. Harry did not like the broccoli that mommy served, but I enjoyed it. It was nice having a buddy to eat with me.

While Harry was over, I thought it would be funny to get into the basket that we use for storing my books.

Harry and I both enjoy reading. We spent a long time on Thursday reading and playing with my books.

Harry thought that it was really funny that I was in the basket. I think that he wanted to climb in with me, too.

A Packer Weekend in Green Bay

We went to Green Bay a few weekends ago. Grandma and grandpa gave mommy and daddy Packer tickets. They went to the game while grandma and grandpa babysat me. At first I wanted to go to the Packer game, too. (Don't tell daddy, but I am a big Packers fan). But, when I realized that Grandma and Grandpa were going to watch me, I was thrilled. We went to the park and played a lot of fun games. I love to swing on the swings. I can sit in the swing for an hour and still not want to get out! While we were in Green Bay, daddy put gardening gloves on my hands. I got a big kick waiving at everyone with the gloves on. It was a great weekend and I cannot wait to go back.
