Trick or Treat!

What a day busy day this little puppy had! It started with trick or treating with my preschool friends around campus. Boy did we score a ton of candy and Halloween toys! Then Mom, Dad and I went trick or treating in the evening. We went to a nursing home that was hosting a Halloween party with trick or treating in the resident's rooms. Mom and Dad thought it would be easier for me to walk around with my walker. It also gave me an opportunity to spread some of my own special Halloween cheer! There were alot of balloons there so I was a bit distracted by it all, but still managed to treat everyone to some smiles. My leg has been hurting again which is really confusing Mom and Dad...and me to if you reallly want to know the truth! Because of that, I didn't do alot of walking while trick or treating...instead I rode on my walker like a skateboard and let Dad and Mom push me around. The very best part of Halloween was getting home to check out all the things in my treat bag. My favorite candy this year was the Whoppers! Check out my video. This year I learned what monsters say!

EEG Time!

Today was time for my routine EEG. The doctor said I needed to be "sleep deprived." Mom and Dad say they know what that means every day! So...last night I got to stay up REALLY late! Dad took the late night shift while Mom hit the hay so she could get up early with me. Before we went to the hospital, Mom and I went to see Tia Betty. It was great seeing her again. She took us to the park to play so I could get extra tired! When it was time to get hooked up to all the wires, I stayed very, very still. Can you believe I had ALL of those things stuck on my head! Then it was time for the sleeping part. I fell asleep fast!
I wonder if I'll get to sleep during all the tests I'll be taking when I start school. Seems like a good plan to me! In a few days, the doctor will call Mom to tell her how my brain waves looked. We are hoping that with the clinical trial medications and having started neurontin awhile ago for the pain in my leg, my EEG will look great! Keep your fingers crossed! But now it is time for us all to get some sleep... enough of this sleep deprivation!

The Great Pumpkin Patch

Dad, Mom and I went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday. We searched and searched for the perfect pumpkin! Ended up finding three perfect pumpkins! Can't wait to dig my hands inside! I love how the slimy stuff feels between my fingers! While at the pumpkin patch we met the coolest kitten! The kitten thought it was funny to keep going around and around between my legs! He was so friendly...I think Dad even had a brief moment of thinking a kitten would be an okay pet! I'll keep working on him...maybe someday!

My Visit to Bishop's Castle

I saw the most amazing castle yesterday with Uncle Bob and Aunt Frances. They drove here all the way from South Dakota. We drove up to Rye, Colorado to see Bishop's Castle that has been built by one man ALL BY HIMSELF! It is an amazing site to see. I climbed to the first level with the help of Mom and Aunt Frances. I thought it was alot of fun but they said they were nervous! Mr. Bishop was there and so we talked to him awhile. He is a fascinating man! We all think that Grandpa Parke should come see the castle. Even he would be impressed by the detail and massive structure Mr. Bishop has built. After we visited the castle, we had lunch at a small mountain restaurant. The day was alot of fun. Thank you Uncle Bob and Aunt Frances for coming to visit me. I hope you come back soon. Maybe the moat will be done at the castle!

Hello Fall and Hello Big Girl Panties!

Fall is definately in the air! Whenever I see a small pile of leaves beginning to form, I just have to walk through it! I can't wait until ALL the leaves fall! The crunching of the leaves underneath my feet and walker wheels is way to cool! Tonight I helped Mom put up some outside Halloween decorations. My favorites are the orange lights and the big skeleton sitting in the rocking chair on our porch. I've already picked out my Halloween costume! Bet you can't guess what I'm going to be! You're right...a puppy! I've been practicing wearing it but I'm not going to show you until Halloween! Mom says we are going to the pumpkin patch soon. I'm going to try to find the biggest pumpkin ever!
Guess what! Since I turned four I've been wearing big girl panties all day long. Most days I go all day without an accident as long as the big people remember to take me. Sometimes I give'em a break and tell them I have to go but usually I make them work at it! They think they are training me...boy do I have them fooled...I think I've got them trained pretty good! Until next time...stay dry!
