I Lost a Tooth!!

Well, my mama thinks she lost her camera so these are off her phone.  Good thing her new phone takes pretty good pictures.  The news for the week is that I lost my first tooth!  It is one of my bottom ones and the other one is loose too!  Mrs. Vanderboom at school ended up pulling it for me and gave me a little purple treasure box for my tooth.  I was so excited.  I also wrote a letter to the tooth fairy asking if I could keep my tooth and she let me!  The tooth fairy was also very generous, maybe because this was my first lost tooth?  In other news, I have been busy learning at school and having fun with all my little friends.  I enjoy playing with kids of all ages too, that is a great thing about my school and where mommy works after school.  They do such a great job mixing age groups in activities and the buddy systems.  One of my favorite things at school is singing too.  

Yesterday we went with cousin Maggie and got Christmas pictures.  We dressed pretty and smiled nice, it was actually a fun experience!

I found this suitcase and wheeled it around the store saying I was going to Seattle.  Silly!

November Catch Up

I have to share that last Friday I got a special award at Mass!  It is called a peacemaker award and I got a special pin!  I was surprised but felt very happy about it!  I continue to just love school and am just blossoming in so many ways. I am a trooper when I stay with mama after school and sometimes spend 10 hours at school but I sure love playing with the older kids.  

This week was very busy with Halloween and All Saints Day.  First off, on Halloween my mama planned a big party at After School Care since it was an early release day and I got to go!!  I had so much fun and when my mama asked if I was ready to go home to get my costume I said, "I forgot all about Trick or Treating, I'm having so much fun here!"  Then, since Halloween is All Hallows Eve, I was ready to celebrate on All Saints Day.  We got to dress up as saints at school so I chose the newly canonized Saint Kateri.  If you haven't read her story, you should as it is so special to Bellingham and our school.  I have also chosen, with the help of my Godmother, Saint Kateri to be my patron saint.  Her nickname is Lily of the Mohawks! 

Cousin Maggie had fun feeding Nicholas and she was so good at it!

On Halloween mama and Sam dressed Nicholas as a skeleton and put him in my bed to wake me up.  I think they were trying to scare me!

At the Halloween Party.  Check out the smoking juice!
