It's Pinkin Time!

by Gracie

Here I am!  It's been quite a while since I've given you a good update on my activities and developments.  I am at the mercy of my editor.  Maybe I need to give her a raise.

I've been quite busy, especially since the Georgia heat has cooled down a bit and I can get outdoors and enjoy myself more.  Here I am riding a rooster at my friend's Dad's company picnic.  A rooster says "Doo doo doo dooooooooo!"  I know most of my animal noises, and that's my favorite.  I've been working really hard on my human noises too.  I go to speech therapy once per week and hang out with my grown-up friend and we make noises and play games.  It's pretty cool.
However, if you want to converse with me, there are still some translations you should learn:

Gracienese--------English
tiss-----------------kiss
tocky wock--------chocolate milk
doots--------------juice
Tee----------------Casey
Rah Rah-----------Raven
fweese-------------horse
Yabby Yabby------Yo Gabba Gabba
wokul--------------waffle
roonsh-------------orange
cuhries-------------colors
pinkin--------------pumpkin

Study up fast, Aunt Gretchen & Uncle James!  I can't wait to talk with you when you visit soon.

I have claimed some more territory as GracieLand.  This is my play closet under the stairs.  I love hanging out in here and stringing beads, diapering my babies, looking at books, and various other projects.

I'm still enjoying my art, and have expanded my medium to coloring books and play-doh.  My mom made me this awesome roll-up crayon pouch... one of the many projects that has interfered with her blogging promptly.  Play-doh is strictly a Daddy activity.

Autumn is here, and I made a trip to the farm to pick my pumpkin in preparation for Halloween.  I let Allison come with me, and I picked out a nice lop-sided pumpkin for her too.  (All she wanted to do was eat straw.)  I also took a hayride, did some duck-races, and visited the farm animals.  Of course, I spoke their language to each one of them.  Just call me "Gracie Doolittle."

Halloween costumes and fun with Aunt G & Uncle James coming soon!
