We kicked the month off with an airplane ride (one of my favorite things) to Michigan to visit Appa's friends from school. I had fun meeting some new people, hanging out with some friends I had met before, eating yummy food, and getting my face painted (first time). The best part was hiking along Lake Michigan with its clear blue waters, warming up to the idea that you could go in it, throwing rocks into the water, and playing (and climbing and hiking) on the nearby sand dunes. I also enjoyed reading maps and trying to figure out where we were hiking.
I like trees. Don likes trees. Barbara likes trees. Corbin likes trees. Isla likes trees. ... Batman likes trees! (you might hear me opine about something along these lines any given day) Or it might be I like hummus! or I like chairs. And one of the cute things I say (per Amma) is No please. Oh and my new word this month is eclipse, for the Blood Moon eclipse that was near the end of the month - it was beautiful and amazing!
Grandpa took me out on a boat in a big big lake (Dillon) up in the mountains one weekend and I had a blast. The weather was perfect, the sky blue, and the wind wasn't too strong. I even got to drive the boat! Plus Grandpa started showing me some knots for the rope, and then we did some pretend fishing with the line.
I really figured out the pedals on my tricycle this month and my cruising on the balance bike increased substantially. Amma even has to run to keep up with me on our way to the McGregor's in the morning.
The McGregor's house is as fun as ever, especially the last week because there were a lot of trucks right out front putting in new pipes in the street!
I started a dance class with my friends Isla and Ara too - it took a while for some of us to warm up, but we stuck together in solidarity until everyone was ready to join the group. We do all kinds of fun world dances.
We are all off to India for most of October - I am so excited!
Thank you God for boats, bicycles, grandparents, fishing, sand, friends, my Thambi, and jumping.
