I'm a Lion!

Ok, Auntie La. I'm back. Sorry it has been so long. I've been very busy. First, Uncle Joey came to visit me. We carved pumpkins and made Jack-o-lanterns. That was lots of fun! Pumpkins are very squishy inside, but they don't taste very good. They are very pretty to look at, though. We also went to the Anchor Bar. Everyone else ate chicken wings, but I discovered KETCHUP! Oh, it is soooo tasty. Uncle Joey shared his with me and it was awesome! I never liked it before, so I'm glad I tried it again. Mommy said you'd be very happy to hear that I like ketchup.


After that, it was Halloween. I got to dress up like a lion. Mommy made my costume. She kept wanting me to roar at people, but I didn't really feel like it. I actually got to be a lion twice. The first time, I went to a party at the library with all the other kids. That was lots of fun. The next time, I went to my Nona's house and wore it to show everyone there. We went a bunch of other places, too. It was fun. Mommy says Nona must have all the good pictures, though. This is the best one she had.

A couple days ago was something Mommy was calling "Election Day." I'm not really sure what that means exactly. She said it was when everyone goes to a place to say who they want to be the new President. I'm not really sure about all that, but the place we had to go to had a really cool playground. Daddy met Mommy and I there, and we got to play on the swings, and a dinosaur, and a slide, and a seesaw. There was even a sandbox with lots of cool shovels and trucks in it! I had lots of fun on Election Day!
Other than that, not too much else is going on. I'm getting a really big tooth in the back of my mouth, and it really hurts. Mommy and Daddy tricked me this morning into going to get shots at the Doctor's office. That wasn't fun, either. The first one was ok I guess, but the second one really hurt! Ok, I'll try to keep in better touch. Tomorrow I'm going to the Rochester Children's Book Festival, so I'll let you know how that is.

Jackson! You love Ketchup, too?! Ah, that's so nice to hear. This means your Mommy and Daddy will go through it much quicker and won't have to cart it from one house to the other. One time, they had the same bottle for three years!! I didn't even think people packed their food up when they moved...

I really love your Halloween costume. Your Mommy must have worked so hard on that mane! I can't wait to see you in about six weeks!!
