Visiting Robin & Maymont

After seeing bears and eagles and goats and sheep at Maymont, we dug up carrots and potatoes out of Robin's garden and ate them!

A Good Nightmare

Jo's Halloween Dream:

There was a scary witch, and she was flying into the dark.
She was wooden.
Her shoes were made of wood, and she had wings.

There were bakers.
They had to bake a strawberry cake.
They were with my friends in Mexican.

Then the witch, she did fly, and she was bad, but she wanted to be good.
She wanted to take off her clothes and be good.

Then my friends did walk out of my dream.
They ate the cake and then came out of my dream.

It was a good nightmare.

--
While listening to music in the car:
"Mom! Mom!"
"Yes, Jo, what is it?"
"My bum is dancing!"
--
A strange imagination:
I hear her crying out. I go to her room.
"Jo, what is it?"
"Look in my bed!"
I look. There is nothing there.
"Uh... what am I seeing?"
"It's my mommy and daddy. They are here in bed and they can't wake up. " freaky...

Did someone call for a fairy?

thanks to cousin jordan, one is here.

Ahhhh!

Video Birthday Card

Need a pick-me-up? Watch this video birthday card we made for my mom!

FYI, Jo calls herself Princess Cilla - and that weird bowing thing she does is her attempt at a curtsy...

Accomplishments

I watched him pull himself up today - sure, it was to grab his sister's book and eat it - but that's motivation for you!

He has also figured out how to move forward, not just backward. With the alacrity of an alligator, I might add.
