November 23rd

So...watching your morning routine illuminates mine.  You go directly to the back door to let out Peabody, then stand there and yell...then walk over to the animal feeding station...then over to your coffee cup which you fill, then sip from, then put in the microwave.  You carry your cup with you throughout your entire morning, and have started requiring water to be put in the cup so you can drink from it.  We should both stop yelling at Peabody.  Yelling rarely accomplishes anything.  She sure can be stubborn though, can't she?

We went to the woods...nearly got a tick... You would rather be on the thorn bushes in the woods (yes, really) or walking on the edges of the sidewalks.  You got in a zone trying to perfect walking up and down the dip that makes the picnic area handicap accessible.  You fell a few times, but are a champ at the "uh oh" then stand up and do it again.  I kind of imagine that I was never as good at that as you already are.  Lucky lucky you!

We stopped by Aunt Jackie's and ended up staying for a while.  Your Aunt Jackie sure can talk!  There were four sisters there and you were FASCINATED with them.  I didn't get permissions for pictures though, which is a shame...so I only have the one of the back of some heads and you.

Aunt Beth brought us over a ton of toys...you've set up camp in the mega blocks.  I hope you'll emerge some day...
