Tickle-Me-No-Elmo
A lady from our church gave us a Tickle-Me-Elmo for Annika. She did not like it the night they gave it to us but it was 10 p.m. and we figured she was just tired. The next day when she woke up we decided to give it a try again....
Well, we found out she still doesn't like it. She will carry it around everywhere, but if you ask her if she wants to turn in on she shakes her head no. She even starts to cry when she watches Elmo in this video.
Here's a picture I took of her yesterday while playing outside with some bubbles!

Halloween & New Sentance
Last night Annika got all dressed up and went trick or treating. We started the evening (or the afternoon) by taking her to the nursing home where she handed out candy to the older people there. She did a great job! Especially for a little girl who wanted to keep the candy, but did a good job having a good attitude. After the nursing home I took her to the local outlet mall where they hand out candy. We hit all the stores and she got a pretty good bag of candy! We then went to a bombfire people in our church were having. It was a good evening and a good time. Here's a few pictures of her in her Halloween Costume: A Lady Bug Fairy. I had such a great time making this outfit and it turned out pretty good and did not cost that much to make and now she has a new dress up costume!
She has also learned her first 4 word sentance! We were sitting in her room the other day when she found a moth on the floor. Zoey than came and joined us and proceeded to eat the moth.

Pumpkin Patch Take II
Sorry, I know I said I would get these up and I was hoping to get them up sooner, but I didn't. Here are a few more pictures from the pumpkin patch.
Just an update: Life is definitely getting more and more busy (just when I thought it might slow down for a bit). I'm due to watch some boys tomorrow and a couple of kids on Saturday. David has class Friday. Annika in the midst of all this has not a care in the world. :) She is excited for the neighbor boys to come over especially her friend "Nimmy" (aka Timmy). They get a long pretty well (except when he's trying to take her hair pieces out). She says, "no Nimmy." They get excited when the other walks into the room...Timmy calls Annika "Nimmy" b/c that's what she says whenever she sees him. :) They are fun to watch play together.
