Please put your papers down for an administrative announcement.

One last thing for tonight, I've added something new to the blog, it's called "Fun things I say" and it's on the right side of the page. We decided I needed a place for the fun things that I say.

IREALLYLIKEHOTCHOCOLATE

Mama made me some hot chocolate tonight, while she was getting dinner ready. She told me I could have marshmallows in it. I told her "two marshmallows, no more, no less." That's what Henry the penguin says whenever he has hot chocolate.

She put it in a snowman cup for me, which I liked. I decided that I would drink it in my tent.



After I had my hot chocolate, I was IN THE MOOD TO DANCE!









Here's a video, for the full effect. If you're on the email update, remember you'll have to come to the blog for any fun dancing action.

Zoophile

Went to the zoo on Friday afternoon, but the zoo was closed. I was so sad. But I think mama was even sadder. So we walked around the parking lot instead. We found some fun things to see.

They have a train up there! But you can't get on it, you can only look at it. And stand in front of it looking kewt.

Walked on what I call "train tracks", which are, like, raised things that I can walk on.

So, in closing, I had a nice time even though we didn't get into the zoo. Mama promised we could come back in a couple days when they would definitely be open.

I got some new jammies recently. I was so excited when I saw that mama had gotten me Thomas jammies! They're really cozy and warm. I like to sleep in them all the time. After I put them on for the first time, I had to run down and show daddy.

Mama got me ready for bed and when it was tuck-in time, she asked me what I was going to dream about. I told her that I would dream about the zoo. And my favorite zoo animal, the sea lion.

On Sunday I got to go to the zoo for reals! First thing we did was visit those sea lions!

Then I wanted to go see the lions and giraffes. So we stopped at the new Predators exhibit which was very cool.

This is me standing next to a sleeping lioness. It's that furry thing up against the glass.


On our way to see the giraffe! Coming, mama?


Got tired of hearing mama say "stop running, the ground might be slippery!" Stopped for a picture...then ran off.


Posing next to the hippo enclosure. The hippos were very active that day. Can you see it back there?


Here's the giraffe. I call him Melman.


Then a quick stop at the polar bear, and off we go!

Halloween

Did I really let Halloween go without an update? Rowr, I was a tiger! Yamma and Baba came over and we put them to work. Yamma painted my face and daddy made Baba carve our pumpkin. Nice going, daddy!

Mama got me a pumpkin bucket for my candy and we went out and got me some sugar. We walked all the way up the street and back. I knocked on people's doors and then when they answered, I would say "trick or treat!" and then they would say "aw you look so cute!" and give me some candy. Then I would say "thank you", then I would stand there and stare at them until mama said
to come on.

I had a really fantastic time. I didn't end up eating much candy though, maybe just a few chocolate ones and some smarties.

Daddy recorded a halloween tv special for me, it's something like "attack of the killer mutant pumpkins" or something like that. It's the monsters from "monsters v aliens" (the big lady movie) and they're saving the world from alien pumpkins. It's a little bit scary but I like it a lot and still ask to watch it.

Nice wake-up time

When it was time to get up this morning, mama climbed in bed with me and we talked for a little bit.

I sat up and mama said "Hey there!"
"Don't say that."
So mama said "Howdy, dude!"
"No, don't say that, either."
So mama said "Hi!"
"No, don't say any 'hi' words."

Then she kissed me on the side of my face.
"Don't say any kissing words either! I just want you to talk to me."

So she asked me about my dreams last night. I dreamed about one of my shirts. Not my pajama shirts, one of the ones in my closet. But I don't need to wear that one today.

Time to turn on the light! Click.
"Ow, my eyes!" and mama said "ow, my eyes!"
"No, not your eyes, my eyes. Say 'ow, your eyes!'"
Mama 'splained that I could say 'my eyes' and she could say 'my eyes' because the light hurt both of our eyes. So we tried it again.
"Ow, my eyes!" and mama said "ow, my eyes!"
Yeah. That works.

Got all dressed (wanted to wear my ghost shirt today and my giraffe boots) and got ready to head downstairs.
"Can I watch some Noggin please? That's what I'm going to say to daddy."
And I did.
