Bruce the Friend.

I have a Bruce friend that I saw this weekend. You may remember him. We met when we were babies. I called him Bruce the Brute back then.

Me and Bruce when we were babies.

My Bruce Friend and his mom.

My Bruce Friend and his mom.

But Bruce is definitely not a Brute anymore. Now he is all grown up like me. He also has a little bother just like I do. He is a sweet friend and I really like him.

His family is traveling across the country and they all stayed with us for a couple of nights. We had a lot of fun eating and playing and climbing.

We were too excited to eat our dinner.

We ate dinner..

We shared a nice sunny breakfast.

We ate breakfast..

We are both excellent climbers.

We climbed rocks.

We play superhero and princess.

We flew kites.

Both of our families.

We had a good time with our families.

I hope I see you again soon, Bruce Friend. You and your whole family. I loved having you stay with us!

New Beginning.

Today I started Preschool.

image

I get to go to this big brick school that mom says is really old. Except now it has been turned into a school just for kids my size.

image

I get to wear this backpack that arrived in the mail for me last week. It has pink ponies on it. Pink. Ponies. Seriously. Ponies. That are pink.

image

The day was pretty fun. I didn’t really tell mom much about it and I don’t really know that I have much to say about it on my blog. Except that there is circle time and line leaders and ‘Mon ami’ means ‘friend’ in French.

Oh, and little bother seriously missed me while I was gone. He gave me the biggest hug when he picked me up.

image

I like to make him cry by telling him he doesn’t get to go to preschool until I go to the magical land of Kindergarten. He hates when I tell him that. But I secretly like that he misses me.

image

So far, this school thing is off to an auspicious start. Which is a word I learned in preschool today. Just kidding. My editor put that in to make me sound smarter. Cause now I’m a big preschooler.

Third.

I turned three years old today!

This morning mom and dad woke me up singing me the happy birthday song and gave me my presents! (A ballerina puzzle and ballerina book, in case you were wondering). Grammy and grandpa sang to me on the phone and watched me be surprised by the dollhouse they got me.

Then I played dollhouse and tea party all day. Little bother was allowed to play with me because I was feeling nice.

It was a good third birthday.

Even if mom made us go to the doctor for our checkups. I don’t want to talk about that. Except to say that little bother had to get shots and I didn’t.

So, happy birthday to me!!

Halloween.

Halloween started badly.

Mom made me wear this hat and dad made me take a picture with little bother.

But then we went to the Munchkin Masquerade on the walking mall.

There were people handing out candy. This made my day improve immensely.

Happy Halloween!

I hope your mom and dad let you eat all the candy you want.

Unlike mine.

Farm festivities.

Its that time of year again, when mom takes me to the farm. It was pretty much the same as last year.

Except, I picked a white “Cinderella” pumpkin.

And they had a new giant Cinderella carriage!

Oh, and little bother was with us.

image

So, besides those few little details it was exactly the same as last year.

I love fall on the farm.

Summer is.

Experiencing summer for the third time makes me basically an expert on this fine season,

Summer is sunshine on your face.

image

Summer is a full backyard.

image

Summer is cherry shaved ice.

image

Summer is mud puddles after the rain.

image

Summer is wildflowers.

image

Summer is drinking juice pool side.

image

But mostly summer is playing so hard you can’t even finish your steamer on the way home,

image

I love summer.

After.

After Mima went into the sky, dad stayed home from work for a whole week.

The first thing we did was to get to where we could look out over the city and mountains that Mima loved so much.

image

Then we drove up to the big mountains and went on beautiful hikes.

Some hikes I slept through.

image

Some hikes had water shooting out of rocks.

image

(The water was loud. It woke me up.)

And some hikes were very short with beautiful views.

image

It was a good week together as a family, even though we were sad.

image

There is still so much beauty in the midst of sadness.

Surprise.

I woke up from my nap to discover this dress hanging in my room.

image

I was slightly grumpy, but not too grumpy to realize it was a Princess Anna dress. I yelled for mom so she could be surprised, too.

image

And so she could dance with me.

Then I showed my dress to little bother. Pretty sure he loves it.

image

Then I found my loyal steed and galloped away.

image

This princess dress was the best surprise ever. Totally makes up for having to take naps.

image

Well, it almost makes up for having to take a nap.

I am sure a Princess Elsa dress could fully make up for having to nap.
