Our Baby Boyer 2: 4 3/4 Years...Lots of family activities!

We started this month with a trip to the zoo as a family. It was so much fun to see all the animals and it wasn't very crowded. We rode the carousel multiple times too. Afterward, we went to Heather and Sean’s for a quick visit.

I played in my last soccer game for the season and it will start up again in the spring. However, I got to go to a couple of Mizzou volleyball games-once when Ellie's choir sang the National Anthem and another when the whole family went. I love volleyball just like Ellie and want to be just like her.

Mommy took Ellie and me to visit a friend of hers who had a Golden Retriever puppy named Cooper. He was so cute and playful. I also enjoyed playing with her daughter and her toys. Unfortunately, I got sick and had an accident in my underwear so our visit was cut short.

We did several fun things for Halloween. Ellie and Mommy's (and soon my) school had a Monster Mash. We ate and played some fun games and danced. I had a sweaty blast! We had a Halloween party and parade at my school (my last one at Walnut Street.) Our family went trick-or-treating with the play date friends and I got so much candy! At the last house, I said, “I’m getting pretty full, but I have room for one more.” Later that night when I was changing out of my costume, I said, “You’ll recognize me in a minute, Molly!”

I said some other funny things this month. I woke up in the middle of the night one night and went to Mommy and Daddy’s room to tell them “My shirt fell off!” Sure enough, it was off! I also love to eat and said, “I’m fast at food when it comes to healthy stuff!” After continually getting food everywhere when I eat, I announced, “If it’s a fancy dinner, you have to put your napkin in your lap.”

I was just as excited about PJ day the day after Halloween as I was for Halloween itself.

Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom came in town one night. We went out to eat and then went swimming at the hotel the next morning. Mommy and Daddy went to a conference the next weekend and Ellie and I stayed at Nana Arden and Papa Rodney’s. One morning, Nana Arden took me “Christmas window shopping” and took me to school later. I enjoyed the attention! I sure was glad when they came home though!

I started my Thanksgiving feasts today at my preschool. Mommy and Daddy came to eat with me. I know there is more to come!
