hmmmm...

mommy doesn't think 3 year olds should crawl into their bed at night but this is how we three woke up

i am "elle the firedog" and loved it!
playing with graeme the storm trooper at school

the firedog at the firehouse

story time with james the storyteller

mommy wants to know why she has to wash my halloween costume before halloween. nexy year...a black one!

birthday party!

8 kiddies pumpkin painting was risky, but mommy was the only one who spilled (when she was cleaning up of course). this was before the storm...

my friends made the spookiest pumkins for halloween

this is me taking a break. we were really busy playing before this...
luka and aanya hard at work.
we are done!

then came the fun part!

yes, i ate three. because i am three.
some cupcakes were decorated pretty spooky too
they were all delicious though
happy birthday to me!

tomorrow is my birthday party!

night out

pre-babysitter

(i wanted to go to "office meeting" with mom and dad.)

post-babysitter

like usual, i was playing with her the minute she walked in the door and this morning i asked mommy if rina could come to my birthday party tomorrow.

special props to new sitter who got him to eat dinner and go to bed...in his bed!

spooky salem, mass

we took the cool amtrak train to salem to check out the witches. and ghosts, goblins and weirdos.

i did not really like the witches, ghosts or goblins, but hanging out with my two favorite weirdos was fun as usual.

they fed me kettle corn and cotton candy for lunch.

and mommy found a train that gave off a lot of smoke.

i even managed to get daddy on the "crazy bus!" (that's my little head in the back seat.) then me and the babies took a long nap.

heading south for winter

i was an angel on the flights down (and the flights back). "biz" the train helped a little. yeah! i had another dog birthday cake!
my eyes were still on the cake. and the presents.
finally!
when mama said no more cake, i sought comfort with aunt nin. (and the giant TV)
just love the weather in virginia. (and my new car - thank you gigi!)

me and elle. "my best friend." and of course my granddad who played with my for hours in the yard.

i wish mom didn't have to bunk with us this time.
my new 'do for travel. and an easy way to stop me from fussing as we circle boston 100 times.

thank you mom! even with all of my food aversions i managed to eat enough to gain back a couple of pounds! xoxo, the other K

chilly days

mama and i hope i never grow out of blanket sleepers. about to attack mama in the bath

directing toddler traffic at the ducks

the coolest event we have ever stumbled upon. the national go-kart grand prix. too bad it was so chilly out.

posing with my new favorite police car

resting up (side down) for roanoke.

note to gigi: my mama is sick and is requesting red grapefruits and to be spoiled rotten by her mama.

i get my piggy flu shot today and am requesting a cookie.

sick matty

mom: matty, if you eat this yogurt and some fruits and veggies today, you will feel better

matty: (after yogurt, post-sneeze with drippy nose) mom, the yogurt didn't help me.

this video sure does make him feel better though

skippin' school and other fun

yes, i like to "eat" jello with a straw. or how i blow into the straw and shoot jello all over.

this is how mom and i watch TV at the crack of dawn. she loves it. well except for the crack of dawn part.
we went to see the circus elephants eat on hanover street today. boy, it was chilly and i sure was tired after waking up at 4.
yes, 4am.
aunt dee: i'm sleeping with you in virginia next week!
after just one picture i was ready to leave. same as last year after waiting in the 90 degree heat.

and as requested: mama has only gained 3-4 pounds to date...thankfully all seems to be in the belly. although i can not really tell since she lives in her PJ pants because they are so comfortable.

14 weeks and 6 days - can't wait for 11/2!
