An update from Aubree

So, other than Thanksgiving travels, November hasn't been too eventful, and Mom forgot to take pictures at Great-grandma Margie's house. Here's a little update on what we've been up to around here.

"Tent" time is my new favorite thing. Mom was remembering the card table houses of her childhood and decided to surprise me with a few days of tents in the living room. This one is a spacious, fully-decorated one-bedroom. This tent has been the coolest one so far, although the one we made yesterday was pretty cozy and had a "kitchen." Mom and Jada came in, and we read stories.

I've been doing a lot of cooking lately. My kitchen is my favorite place to be. As you can see, it is a "pants optional" kitchen, which is fine since I'm not frying any bacon. I only make pretend soup.

For once I decided I would actually smile while Mom was taking my picture. I was having a rare moment of compliancy. I have to take pity on her occasionally.

I'm not sure what I did to deserve this,

but one night Dad and Mom decided I could have my very own Dilly Bar. It was awesome!

I also got a bath that night. I think the events were related.

I have recently decided that Jada is a pretty cool playmate. I get in trouble a lot for pouncing on her. Mom keeps saying, "Be gentle!" I pretty much ignore her. I have figured out that if I run up to her at full speed and screech at her, she usually laughs at me.

I think you can tell by just looking at me that I've had a cold all month.

It's made me a little grumpy, but I'm finally getting better.

Random stuff: This month I got my first tube of cherry chapstick. I can recognize all my uppercase letters and some lowercase. If I'm awake, I always get to wear big girl panties, and I haven't had an accident in looong time. I got to put some ornaments on the Christmas tree. My favorite thing to say this month is "huh?" I say it whenever Daddy or Mommy ask me to do something I don't want to do. I think it's hilarious... they are less amused.

That's about it. Hope you've enjoyed the update!
