Back to the Babysitter

Since Mommy is going to school again I am going back to the babysitter Alice. I was supposed to go yesterday but Alice had to go to the doctor. So Diane and Gram came over to play with me and take care of Luciana. Diane painted my nails!

So today was the first day at the babysitter. I had fun. Now that I am a big girl I get to play in the room with the big kids. I don't have to be with the babies anymore. I tell the other kids that Luciana is my baby. I am going to have to show her all about Alice's house.

Thanksgiving Trip

For Thanksgiving we went to Grandma's house. We took Luciana and Wrigley with us too. Daddy's car was full of stuff. Grandma set up a bunch of toys for me to play with so I had a lot of stuff to do. I also ate a lot of food. I hate some turkey and pie. My favorite was sopa (rice) at my great aunt Rina's house. I love any kind of rice.

The most fun thing that I did was go to a place called BellaBoo's. It was a lot of fun there. It is just for kids. I got to go a pretend store and buy groceries. I even had money to buy my stuff. I was a very grown-up shopper. I go shopping with Mommy and Daddy all of the time so I know what to do. I only bought important stuff like carrots, toothpaste, kleenex, and chocolate milk.

And they had a bunch of dress-up stuff to put on. I dressed up like a fireman princess but Daddy was too big for the clothes.

Daddy and I got to make a turkey out of cookies, pretzels and chocolate icing. It was an okay looking turkey but it tasted good!

And I got to paint my face. I painted one side of my face and Tia painted the other. Can you tell who did what?

Fun at Bath Time

Here are some pictures of me playing in my ducky bathtub. I love to take baths because I can play in the water while Daddy or Mommy gives me a bath. I like mess with my hair and make it crazy!

I also have some colors that I can put in my bath to make it turn colors. It is fun to make the water different colors. I think purple is my favorite but this picture is green. Sometimes we put two colors together to make another color. Daddy always knows how to make the colors. When I'm getting ready to take a bath I tell Daddy "purple, red, orange"! I get to put the colors in the water. It is fun. I could play in the water forever but sometimes the water gets cold and I have to get out.

On the Tube

Since I am home with Mommy and I don't go to the baby sitter anymore, I have started to watch some more shows on TV. I used to mostly watch the Disney channel with Mickey Clubhouse and Handy Manny. I do still like to watch Disney channel in the morning. As soon as I wake up my first words are usually "milk" and "mickey cubhouse".

But there are some good shows that I watch at night on Nick Jr. I watch Dora the Explorer. I even have some Dora shoes. She has a monkey called Boots. I like her. I like to watch Max and Ruby too. They are bunnies. Max is Ruby's little brother. Ruby is a girl like me. And I have watched Yo Gabba Gabba some too. It is a crazy show and Mommy really doesn't like it. They have a lot of colors and strange people. But they play music which I like.

I'm also starting to pay attention long enough to watch movies (at least parts of them). I watch Nemo and Sleeping Beauty. Nemo is a fishy. Mommy said that Luciana was Sleeping Beauty today while she was taking a nap. I watched Sleeping Beauty and she doesn't look like Luciana. Sleeping Beauty is not a baby! I told Mommy that she was wrong.

Flu Update

I had the flu last week. I was feeling sick and Daddy took me to the doctor. They said that I had the flu and they gave me some medicine and a sucker. The medicine was okay but the sucker was really good! Mommy took good care of me. She gave me medicine and watched my fever until it went away. And she didn't let me kiss or hug Luciana because she didn't want her to get sick. But I'm all better now and Luciana didn't get sick. So that is good. Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm all better.

First Haircut

Well, Luciana already stole my thunder with her blog but I wanted to tell everyone that I got a haircut this week. You can see her blog for a couple more pictures.

Now, I don't have much hair to be cutting but I went to get my hair trimmed. A nice lady called Angela cut my hair. I got to sit in a big chair and look in the mirror the whole time. I was a good girl and I sat really still. I didn't smile much and I looked real serious. I was just a little nervous because I never had my hair cut before. I didn't know if would hurt. It didn't hurt. It was okay. And they gave me suckers too. That was good too.

Trick Or Treat?

I had fun for Halloween! First I carved some pumpkins with Mommy and Daddy. We had a Dora and a Minnie pumpkin.

Then Mommy and Grandma helped me get dressed up as Minnie. I like Minnie. She is on Mickey Clubhouse, my favorite show. I think that it should be called Minnie Clubhouse. My friend Annabelle bought me a Minnie dress for my birthday. A lot of my family came over to see me dressed up as Minnie. Everyone said I was cute.

Here I am, ready to go get some candy. That is the best part about Halloween is the candy. I would go up to the houses and "treat o' treat". (who really wants tricks?) Most of the people were nice. Some people were scary. They had scary masks and scary music. So we didn't go to those houses.

It was a lot of fun and I got a lot of candy. Yummy! Now, I just have to make sure Daddy doesn't eat it all.

Happy Halloween. Love, Riley
