elephants, elephants, elephants


You had a great time with your dad yesterday at the Natural History Museum. You absolutely loved the huge elephant in the foyer of the museum. You practically ran through the mammal hall pointing out your favorite animals to dad and saying "Oh dad look at that (fill in the blank)." We decided to go to the cafe to feed Ben and you cried because dad wouldn't buy you any french fries. You ate your yogurt and fruit and were in a much better mood. You've discovered movies and love watching any cartoon movies that have animals in them. Shrek 2 is your favorite right now because there is a cat, donkey, and horse in it. You crack up every time the cat has a hairball and coughs it up. You are still wearing pink everyday all the time. You are refusing to wear your coat outside, and instead insist on putting the water/windproof cover on the stroller to stay warm.

You have been enjoying talking on the telephone more and more. You can actually have conversations with others. We are getting ready to head to Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving and you told grammie to bring you a present.

You've also been building a lot of sandcastles and barns with your blocks and foam puzzles and legos. School is going better for you and mom actually was able to leave you there one day for about 20 minutes before I was called back. I guess you were very uncooperative and would not settle down when they tried to take you to the park. Even once you got there you would only sit by yourself. You've also recently become scared of your toy firetruck and refuse to touch it or allow anyone else to touch it for fear the siren will start up.

You are really growing up and we are enjoying every new thing you do! Love you.
