Dressing up

I'm really loving playing dress-up these days. I know you can't really tell by the look on my face, but I really am enjoying myself. Please don't pay attention to the fact that my skirt is on inside out. I'm really just trying to make a fashion statement.

Here I am dressed up like a bank robber. What do you mean I'm doing it wrong?

Oh, you're right, this is easier! I know everyone can see my face now, but when they see how cute I am, they won't want to arrest me anyway.

Even Lexie likes to play dress-up with her cute bandanas. She's also dressing up like a dog who can't come in the house this week due to her run-in with a skunk, but we won't talk about that. Except to say that the skunk totally won.

In this video, I'm obviously dressed up as a famous singer. I'm singing the "smile song" and trying to make the hippopotamus in my book smile. Please notice the pause for emphasis after the first verse. They say that the performance is just as important as the singing, you know.

Bear 2.0
Thanks to the combined efforts of Grandpa and Mom, Bear has had several successful reconstructive surgeries and is better than ever! Mom even took a nail file and scraped off the fuzz from Bear's nose so that he looks just like he used to. I'm so glad to have my BFF back!

Shamu! Shamu!

Mom and Dad thought it was time for another trip to Sea World this week. Mom apologizes in advance for the lower than normal quality of these pictures, but SOMEONE forgot to charge the camera batteries before we left so she had to use her cell phone. It is getting harder and harder to find good help these days.

The playground part of Sea World has these awesome little doorways to run through, I just go back and forth between them all day. They are a little too close to the water sprayers for Mom's liking, but hey, as long as I'm having fun, right?

It was a pretty hot day at Sea World, even with all that water. You can tell when I get really hot, because the little hairs that escape my ponytail get way curlier than normal. I call it my Botticelli look.

Here I am waiting for the Shamu show to start. I love the Shamu show. I loved this one even more because there was a little girl sitting next to me who had a bucket of popcorn and kept sharing with me. Mom and Dad have tried to give me popcorn a bunch of times, and I told them no way. But if that little girl was eating it, I figured it couldn't be too bad. I am now officially in love with popcorn.

So this is where you think I am going to tell you that I had such a good day that I just fell right asleep on the way home, right? Well, you'd be wrong. This is what happens when I refuse to nap and just play in my room for an hour, and Mom and Dad finally give up on me sleeping and just take me to Sea World, only I fall asleep five minutes into the drive and now they have to turn the normal fifteen minute drive into a forty-five minute one so that I can keep sleeping. Gotta keep them on their toes, people.
