All I Want for Christmas...

...is my two front teeth! I must have been a little to aggressive with my Thanksgiving meal because two days after what do you think happened....my front tooth come out! Now I have an empty spot on the bottom AND the top! I finally have a tooth the Tooth Fairy could actually see. Previous to this tooth, I was on the honor system with the Tooth Fairy because I swallowed all the others! Thanks to Aunt Michelle for helping to get my tooth out so I could look at it!

Thanksgiving With Family

I had an awesome Thanks-giving because of getting to spend it with family I hardly get to see. Grandma and Grandpa Parke came from South Dakota. Aunt Michelle, Uncle Mike, Max, Mason and Mikenzie came from Nebraska. And oh yeah...Yippie (the dog) also came to visit me. I would show you pictures of us together but Mom deleted them all by mistake. Having Yippie at my house makes me even more excited for when Bob comes to live with me. We went to Bishop's Castle which always is amazing to see. I have no fear when it comes to climbing around the castle so everyone had to keep a close eye on me! The one thing that would have made Thanksgiving even better would have been Daddy here with us. He had to leave on Thanksgiving day for basketball games in Texas. Thank you all for driving such a long way. I love you all and wish I could see you all of the time.

Guess Who Is Coming To Live With Me!

The little guy in the middle! Isn't he adorable! I can't wait to give him the biggest hug! His name is Bob! And I can say it! He won't be able to come live with me until the end of January but I'm already anticipating his arrival. We are going to learn so much together... probably get into alot of trouble together also! Here is a link to Bob's webpage so you can follow is journey to my house. http://www.goldens-n-doodles.com/GoldenDOODLEpups-SIMONE-TUCKER-11-23-08-MALE2.html

Check out the Specs!

I found Mom's glasses and decided they might look good on me! What do you think?

Basketball Season Is Here!

Finally I can get back on the social scene at Massari Arena! I love going to the games and seeing friends. I've learned how to put my hand on my chest (or usually on my tummy) for the national anthem...sometimes I even sing along! Saturday I got my first chocolate for a SWEEEEEET 3! When the team makes a 3, you have to cheer really loud and then the cheerleaders will choose you to have Nettie's Candybar Three chocolate! My walking is still a little shakey but I still hit the court after the game. I've started taking a little bit more seizure medication so hopefully that will help with my balance. I hope the Thunderwolves get lots of victories this year...that always makes Dad happier to live with!

Down Day

Today I set a record...slept in til just about 10:30. I have NEVER done THAT before. I'm not really feeling myself today. Not alot of energy. My leg is hurting because it is really hard to walk today. It's been getting worse again for the past couple of weeks. Mostly I just want to lay around or be close to Mom. She wishes I could tell her how I'm feeling so she would know EXACTLY what is going on. On the positive side, I did have enough energy to help Mom cook sugar cookies...my all time favorite flavor! Nothing like fresh out of the oven sugar cookie to pick up a girl's spirits!

I'm Going To Be A Bobcat!

A Ben Franklin Elementary School Bobcat that is! A few weeks ago Dad, Mom and I went to check out the school I'll be going to next year. Then today Mom and I had a meeting with alot of people who might be teaching me next year. Everyone has been really nice. They are all going to come see me at the preschool soon. I can't wait to introduce them to my friends. Keep saying prayers that my transition to kindergarten goes well. Don't tell Mom, but I think she is more nervous about it than me!

See My Name!

Check this out! I was practicing writing my name with Mom today. She wrote the red one and I wrote the green one all by myself! I'm still working on putting my letters in the correct order. I wrote them in the right order but ran out of room so just decided to put the "a" between the "E" and the "m's." Mom wanted to be sure you knew she was writing upside down when she wrote the red Emma! We have a song we sing when we practice writing my letters. It goes like this- "Line down ...across ...across ...across... humpty hump...humpty hump ...circle..line!" I'm going to keep practicing so I'll know how to write my name when I start kindergarten next year! Oh yeah...the little blue mark above my name was a little something extra I added later!

3 For 3!

That is the number of teeth I have lost and the number of teeth I have swallowed! All three of them are on the bottom. On Monday morning Mom was helping me brush my teeth. She knew it was loose...but not that loose! A few brush strokes and tah - dah...it was outta there! I'm still waiting for the Tooth Fairy to come this time. Must have been alot of people loosing teeth last night! At this rate I'm going to be able to sing "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth!"
