Daddy's back!

Daddy's back! He returned on Monday bringing lots of goodies for me. My uncle James got me some finger puppets and a colourful knit hat from Ethiopia--thank you Uncle James. But what I loved even more was trying to fit myself inside daddy's suitcase.

It is US Thanksgiving today. No turkey in the oven as we're not Americans but I am still thankful that I have friends, family, and good healthy food to eat.

My A too C's and 1-5

My daddy has been in Toronto for 2 days now. I know he misses me a lot so I dedicate today's blog to him. It is my attempt at ABCs and 1 to 5. Are you proud of me??? I am!

Open Air Market

We spent our afternoon at the Cyberport Open Air market today. Though there were too many people, I still enjoyed my time there throwing pebbles, dragging around a bright green floatie, and drinking Perrier for the first time. I felt like such a grown up drinking it right from the bottle.

I also visited my naturopath over the weekend. The doctor gave me various tiny pellets that my mommy calls 'candy' for the following: (1) cough; (2) flem; and (3) my constitution. The 3rd one is the one that baffles me the most: how 3 little pellets can change my behaviour. The doctor strictly instructed that only 3 be given to me. Mommy thought that my 5 star behaviour was so good today that she is tempted to give me the rest.

One fine day

Not a cloud in the sky and with the cool weather, it was most suitable for a day out at the Ocean Park (again!), this time visiting the aquarium, jelly fish, and seals. Look at the picture above with all the purple jellyfish in the background...oh, and they change colours too! We had lunch at the Bayview restaurant, overlooking the beautiful Repulse and South Bay. I was most amused with the mirror ceiling we had. Then we had a nice celebration at home for my helper Edna. She let me blow out her candles--I think they all had lots of cake with plentiful of saliva coating.

A New Era

Both the computer and I contracted some kind of virus so that is why I have been MIA on my blog! But the computer is all fixed now so we are all good and I can show you an update. Most exciting news is that Barack Obama has been elected the new US president. Mommy has high hopes that this marks a new era of change--Obama is young, charismatic, and handsome...I hope he will have a lasting positive impact on the US, its neighbours and a domino effect on the rest of the world!

A few pictures to show you what I've been up to:

SNAKE: a mom at school brought her pet snake for us to see and touch. I was a bit afraid at first but after all the other kids touched it, I thought it was safe to feel it too. However, it's too long and slimy for my liking--"woh woh" is still my favorite.

HALLOWEEN: we got to wear our costume to school and I recycled last year's since it was a different audience anyway. Here's a priceless shot of myself with the vampire.

BEST COSTUME: I won the best costume at a friend's birthday party--that thing on my neck is a real Calgarian cowboy necklace that Daddy lent to me! well, to tell you the truth, no one else read the invitation about a best costume contest so there was not really a competition. Still, I won a bouncy ball and I'm really happy about that!
