Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving.

I'm thankful for playgrounds.

And swings.

And milk. What are you thankful for?

A Sunday Play-Date

I met up with my friends Claire and Emma at this amazing universally-designed playground. It's a park created for use by all kids, no matter their abilities. It's very cool.

There are tunnels, and slides, and swings, and a giant sandbox. I enjoyed two generous mouthfuls of sand!

I rode on the see-saw with the assistance of Emma, who is very experienced at such things.

And I slid down the slide with the assistance of my dad, who is very, very experienced (a.k.a. old).

Who says there are no seasons in Southern California? One look at Claire's pink nose and you know it was a chilly fall day in old L.A.

Party Time

So, this evening I headed over to Lisa, Jazzy, and Moose's place to help celebrate Lisa's birthday.

Besides giving Lisa many hugs, I also demonstrated my new trick a couple of times....

Look, Ma, no hands! I'm a free-stander.

This is a little move I like to call "the butter-maker."

My pal Jen and I checked out this fascinating magazine. It turns out Blake Lively is a really interesting person. I have to ask, though, Who has the more beautiful eyes?

Happy Birthday, Lisa!

Ring, ring!

Brrriiinnngg!!

"Hello? Yes, this is Gracie."

"Oh hey! So glad you called! Can you hold on a minute? Thanks."

"Um, I'm, like, on the phone? So maybe no photos? Like, don't you guys have lives?"

"Thanks."

"Sorry, gal. So, what were you saying? Oh GIRL! No he didn't . . ."

Veteran's Day

Slackajack Mouse and I want to thank all the men and women who have served to protect our country (like my grandpas and great-grandpas - thank you!). God bless you.

It's a beautiful day here and we have the day off, so Slackajack and I headed over to the park.

The wind blew through our hair.

And we talked about stuff.

Hey, Lisa, Slackajack says "Hi!"

Another Tooth

Check out my new tooth. It's the front one that's just poking through. I'm pretty excited about it.

My pre-bedtime ritual, as you probably know already, is to read one of my favorite books. I'm pretty serious about it.

Tonight it was Cat the Cat, Who is That?, by Mo Willems. I really "get" Mo. He tells it like it is. I highly recommend his Pigeon books. They are ridiculously good.
