I went to my friend Sonja's 3rd birthday party this weekend. her great grandpa called me a pretty princess. i mean, I was there with all the ladies, and he was a bit on the aged side, so maybe he could not see that i was wearing blue everything and black shoes--not a drop of pink, except for my kitty ears that sonja made me....so mama and papa figured it was finally time to do the deed....plus my hair was starting to get caught on stuff....so here is documentation of the whole event...with before and after pics. papa says mama scapled me on one side and it looks funny, but i think she did great given that i wuold not sit still

also, on another front, i am very aggressive...i like to pinch, kick, bite, scratch...so I spend a lot of time in time out and mama and papa are working very hard with me to change this.

I like to sit on my new potty with my clothes on...and i say i have to poop, but then i wont actually go on the potty....but mama and papa are not ready to potty train me yet, so its ok.

for thanksgiving we went to the neighbors, the chiani's...with the beals and the brown-yates' and it was so fun, we had baked turkey, fried turky, smoked pork loin...tons of delicious veggies and digs and stuffings and of course, the perfect compliment of papa's ale. all of the kids and me played like crazy. leo took his pants off and refused to put them back on and it was funny...he is only 2.5....we wished we had been with family, but this was very nice too.

we are sooo looking forward to christmas and the whole hayes clan comin gout...i have not seen everyone in soo long they are not going to believe it is me. i am a little sad (and so is mama) that i will nto get to see the other uncle mike or gramb or grampc...

lotsa love to all
