We went on a playdate today to visit Kait and Donovan.  We just love hanging out with them.  We played upstairs in their bedrooms, we played in the living room, we played in the kitchen and we also had a tea party at the dining room table.  Donovan helped me make some lemonade and it was really yummy.  I drank it straight away and wanted more.  Mommy said maybe next time I could have more. 

I talked about that tea party for hours afterwards!  We had a lot of fun.

We had to get up early today to take Zia to the doctor for her 6 month visit.  Daddy wanted to go so we all went.  Mommy told me I had to behave myself and listen.  I didn't disappoint!  I didn't get in any trouble once.  Sometimes I surprise her.

I was such a good girl that the Doctor took me to get a lollipop!  Zia has to take some medicine so we had to wait at the pharmacy for the meds so we went and hung out in the atrium with the waterfall.  I like to throw pennies in the water.  Mommy tried to tell me to make a wish but I don't think I understand that concept yet.  We did some running around and looking at the water and again I was great. 

I'm doing really good lately about helping Mommy.  I love to clean up after dinner and wash the dishes.  I helped load the dishwasher and unload it later on. 

I fell in the kitchen today and hurt my arm.  Mommy asked if I was ok and my response was "hurt arm, Sonyea go Doctor, get shot."  Mommy asked if I really wanted to go to the doctor and get a shot and I said yes.  Mommy laughed and even told my doctor about it when we took Zia.  He thought it was pretty funny too.

Daddy did some work for Bob and we had to go meet up with him to get some money.  I wanted to watch a movie after lunch but we had to run out first.  As we were pulling up to see Bob I said from the backseat... "Where's the money?"  Everyone laughed!  I'm so silly!

A little bit later I said "Sonyea need money."  Mommy asked what I needed money for and I said "Sonyea need money to give Daddy." 

I've been looking forward to Myles' birthday party for a week now.  Mommy told me about it and I talked about it for a long time.  Boy was I excited when I woke up today. 

First we had to go to gymnastics though.  I LOVE GYMNASTICS!  I could go all day every day if I could.  I'm getting so good at everything and we are hoping to be able to start the second session in a few weeks.  I'm going to miss next weeks class because we are going to Buffalo for Halloween.

Boy, I was even more excited when class was over and it was time to head out to Myles' house EXCEPT Mommy said we had to run to the store!  How dare you Mommy!! 

We walked into Toys R Us and you should have heard me!  I stopped dead in my tracks because there was Princess stuff EVERYWHERE on the walls.  The first things we looked at were Princesses.  I wanted to bring it all home and Mommy actually felt a little bad because we couldn't get me anything today.  We spent a long time looking for the perfect present for Myles and we finally decided on some Playdoh tools.  Did you know that there is something Princess in EVERY AISLE!!!  It was awesome.

We had to delay our exit because Zia had a poopy diaper and needed to nurse so I was a little bit more patient waiting to go to Myles' party.

You won't believe that I actually fell asleep on the way there!!  When I woke up I was so very excited to see we were in Myles' driveway!

We played and ate pizza and cupcakes, I sang Happy Birthday really good too.  We even jumped on the bed but as usual someone caught us and yelled at us to stop.  Mommy had to take me aside for a little time out because I wasn't sharing toys.  To my defense I was really tired!  I got a really cool gift bag for visiting Myles' party, some stickers, bubbles, crayons, a coloring book, a bouncy ball that Zia likes to chew on.  It looks like an apple when she chews on it.  We had an awesome time and are thankful for friends!

Mommy had an appointment today and had to bring Zia and I with her.  She said if I behaved myself and payed attention and followed the rules we'd find a park.  She said I did awesome so we had a picnic lunch at the park on this fine blustery day.  It's really windy outside and we had to use our cups to hold everything down so they didn't blow away.  Except one napkin did fly away and I had to run after it and catch it.  Mommy was laughing at me because it kept blowing away as I tried to catch it.  Mommy said we can't litter, it's not nice for the planet.  I had fun playing on the merry-go-round, pushing Mommy and Zia was fun but it's really hard to stop.  What a great time we had at the park today.

Mommy found a really yummy apple/pumpkin/spice cake recipe online the other day.  Since we have a bunch of apples laying around Mommy decided it was time to try it.  We went out and got a bunch of the spices that we need (did you know that Cardimom is EXPENSIVE?? There were two brands that were over TEN dollars but we found one that was only $5, thank goodness) and we set up to make the cake.

Mommy said we had to dice the apples first.  We started with a knife but it was really taking way too long.  Mommy got the chopper out and let me do most of it.  She cut the apples into manageable slices and I did all the hard work.  I had to push down really hard on the chopper.  Look!

They turned out the perfect size, see?

This is what it looked like after it cooked.  It smells soooooo good!

Maybe I'll try just a bite?

Ever since Grammie came to visit last week, I've decided that I don't want to sleep in my crib anymore.  Not even with the side taken off.  I've decided to sleep on the futon.  Mommy or Daddy lays down with me until I fall asleep, which is usually pretty quick lately AND Vicky sleeps with me too. 

Mommy took this as I was waking up one more morning the other day.

After dinner, I decided I wanted to help Mommy clean up.  I took her dirty dishes and put them into the sink.  Daddy joked about washing them and putting them in the dishwasher.  I didn't think he was joking though.

I rinsed the plates.

And everything else that was in the sink.  Mommy said I did a GREAT JOB.
