Lots of Fun

Daddy has been traveling a lot, which means Mama has plenty of time to spend with Little Monster because she doesn't work when Daddy's away on business. It makes for lots of good times with one particular Tickle Bug who has been especially close to Mama. Sweet Girl's hair is long enough to wear in pigtails sometimes, too. It's funny because at the end of the day, Little Werewolf tends to pull her ties out of her hair — but her hair is so curly, it tends to hold the pigtail shape. Here, Sweet Goblin mugs for the camera and shows off her unruly post-pigtails. Don't let her face fool you. That's face she makes whenever the camera shows up.

Last week, Mama and Madeleine had a chance to meet up with Madeleine's friends from Miss Megan's daycare at the zoo. Since the zoo is by Madeleine's house, it was very easy to see her friends when they went on the field trip. Depending on when you ask her, Baby Girl's favorite animal is a giraffe, an elephant, or a monkey. Sweet Girl is a veteran of the zoo, so she also had a great time showing her less experienced friends where the cool parts of the zoo were and what the best exhibits to visit were.

Tickle Bug is also well on her way to being a big girl because she's already wearing Pull-Ups and using the potty. It's a win-win situation for her because when she does a good job, she earns a candy. She's also very enthusiastic to wash her hands, brush her teeth, and take baths with her toys and princess bubbles.

Now that's it's football season, you can bet that Little Monster is participating in Football Sunday with Mama and Daddy. She's already developing some favorite teams ("Go Cowboys!" Go figure...) and some rivals ("Seahawks, eww..."), and it's fun to watch her have a good time and laugh as Daddy hollers at the games and Mama rolls her eyes at Daddy.
