Future Rockstar

Oh my goodness, where has the time gone. I can't believe it's Thanksgiving tomorrow and that Christmas is just right around the corner. Not much new has been going on, which is why there has been a lack of updates. Sorry about that.

So this morning I was practicing some more tunes on some of my favorite toys - my drum and my guitar. I just don't know which one I like best. I love my drum because I can hit it to play noises and music but my guitar has some cool songs on it and the top of it lights up when you play, which I like looking at. When I have these 2 toys there is never a silence in this house because as soon as the song ends I immediately start playing it some more.

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween. I dressed up as a Jedi knight. The best part of my costume was my lightsaber. It lit up really bright and even made the noises when you moved it.

Halloween Traditions

Every year we always carve pumpkins at my house. This year was a little different. We still got pumpkins but instead of carving, we decided to paint them and make monster pumpkins instead. Take a look at my masterpieces.

Every artist works best with their tongue out, right?

Are we done yet?

ROAR, it's scary!!

Prayer Request

My friend, Matthew, is back in the hospital. He has been having a LOT of seizures and the doctors can't seem to get them under control. He is in desperate need of prayers.

Hayride

This weekend was absolutely gorgeous. So Sunday, we spent most of the day outside. We had some business to take care of in the morning. My dad mowed the front yard for the last time this fall and then we raked and burned the leaves in the back yard. We bought pumpkins to carve later on this week. And then later that afternoon, my church had a hayride and roasted hot dogs and marshmellows. It was such a fun weekend!

I'm not sure how the camera did not capture my smile, because mom said I was smiling the whole time. I really liked the bumpy ride.

Pajama Day

Sorry it's been awhile since my last update. There hasn't been to much going on, except I have been trying to fight off a cold for the past 2 weeks. Luckily nothing more than a cold though. But I am back to my normal self now. So, today was Pajama Day at my preschool and it was great. I should declare everyday to be pajama day. It's definately more comfortable.

disAbility Awareness Week

This week is disAbility Awareness week at my school, even several businesses in my town our participating. I'm not sure if everyone is aware of my friend, Melaina who passed away earlier this year. Her mom and dad had a vision of an All Accessible playground in this area. After she passed away, her parents still wanted to go forward with the playground in honor of their daughter. So this week, many of the proceeds will be going towards the playground. McDonald's in Jackson is participating and donating 10% of the proceeds from 4pm to 8pm, but only tonight (Tuesday, October 13). So if you are in the area and don't have other dinner plans, go to McDonalds.

Who's in trouble?

So today in school, the teacher had to get onto my classmates for being to loud (at least I think that is what is was for). Of course, I wasn't being too loud because well, I can't talk. But as she was instructing them to quiet down, I decided that it was pretty funny and started laughing. I probably should of gotten into trouble for laughing but I didn't. Who can discipline me when I have a smile like this.
I tend to do this at home too. Mom and dad may try to discipline me, especially when I chew on my shirts. They will try and tell me to stop chewing on my shirt and then again in a stern voice. I laugh every time. Anytime someone tries to be serious, it cracks me up. I just can't help it.

Reading Time

I wanted to share one of my all time favorite books with everyone. It is called Llama, Llama Red Pajama.
Mom reads this book to me almost every night. It is a bedtime story about a Baby Llama who gets a good night kiss from his Mama Llama who believes everything is alright. But is it? NO! At least Baby Llama doesn't think so...and soon his whimpers turn into hollers. It's an all-out llama drama. Until Mama returns and makes everything alright with an extra good night kiss. I absolutely love this book. It is so funny, I sometimes get so excited before bedtime which may not be the best, but mom loves to see my reactions (there are only a few books that I pay attention too and act interested in). So I guess she doesn't mind when I get this way before bedtime.

I have also been participating a little more when reading books. I have started to actually hold one side of the book and occasionally will turn the page (with a little help). That is very exciting news.

WALK

So, Sunday, I participated in my first Hydrocephalus walk. It was a great success. There were many people who showed up considering the weather didn't cooperate. I guess I shouldn't complain, it didn't rain when we were actually walking. They had several different activities, face painting, balloon making and there were even clowns there. Here's some pictures of the day. If you would like to get a closer look at any of them, just click on the picture.

The Family.

My Aunt Jen even came to support me.

This is everyone there that had hydrocephalus. There was a variety of ages, from infant to adult.

My 1 hour massage I won as a door prize and mom better not steal it from me, hehe. There were several door prizes given away and the one that we win is to a massage place that is 2 hours from our home.

I really am not sleeping, my eyes are just closed.
