This week was a bye week.

October 17 - October 23, 2006
(2 year, 7 weeks)

I am not ready to give up my afternoon nap.  I really tried yesterday by not taking one and I paid dearly for it later.  C-r-a-n-k-y, c-r-a-n-k-y, c-r-a-n-k-y...and Cranky was my name-o (sing to the tune of B-i-n-g-o). 

At school we have a bunny named Gemini in class.  I have decided that all bunnies should be named Gemini.  I went shopping with Mommy and we found Gemini Bunny crackers at the store.  Of course, we had to buy them.

I went to Didier Farms with Sammy, Aidan, and Ian today.  Most of the entertainment was closed but we still had a really fun time.  We got to see animals (goats, chickens, alpacas, and Gemini Bunnies).  We even saw a baby cow going poop - that was a huge highlight.  Before we left we got to pick out our own apples as a snack!  I had a fugi.

This picture was taken for Daddy's birthday.  He really liked it a lot.

"Big Hugs!"

New Video: Dancing Dress

I have figured out how to win my parent's hearts, not that I don't have them already.  See it works like this.  When Mommy came home the other day after running errands I ran to the door, threw myself into her arms, and said with a smile "Oh Mommy, I am SO happy to see you!!"  I then gave her a huge huge hug.  I then proceeded to tell her I love her.  After that I am pretty sure that I saw a few tears welling up in her eyes.  I did the same thing to Daddy when he came home from work last night too.  :-)

I am starting to really play more with my friends.  Yesterday, I went to Cassie's house (a girl from school) to play and have lunch.  At first I was a little shy but then I realized how fun it was at Cassie's.  She is really nice.  We followed each other around and gave toys to one another.  We also had watermelon for lunch (which is a huge deal lately). 

Last weekend we went to a Sukkot celebration.  I got to play the tambourine while Ms. Nancy played the guitar and sang.  I also got to see Cassie and Daniel and play on the playground.

Latest Food Obsession: Watermelon and yogurt covered raisins.

October 3 - October 9, 2006
(2 year, 5 weeks)

I am getting to be quite the Ms. Bossy Pants.  I am growing ever more independent while being VERY demanding - "No!  Rachel do it!" seems to be my latest mantra.  I also like telling people what to do and where to go.  "Daddy go downstairs on couch watch TV" was my most recent, and rather lengthy order while I was taking my bath. 

I am understanding concepts such as both (both grapes and green beans), first (chocolate milk first), next (put on shoes and then go outside), etc.  I also have the memory of an elephant and remember whatever it was that I was told we'd do after nap or the next day because it is the very first thing I mention upon waking.

When I am not sure what something is I say "hmmm."  For example, when Mommy points to something in one of my books and asks "what's that?" and I don't know my response is "hmmm."  It comes in handy when I need further explanation on a variety of things.

"My Everest"

First Dual Bath: Gladly shared the tub with Ian 8/5.
