A Riddle

What is white, sharp, and hiding all over?
A tooth!
We saw Addie's first tooth tonight. It is the lower left central incisor. That's dentist talk for front :) The tooth hasn't seemed to affect her demeanor. The only signs were a little bit of a diaper rash and a rash around her mouth. How exciting!

How I spent MEA break by Adalae Arlene Corbett

We talked about Halloween. I am going to be a cat for Halloween. Mommy says she might be a vampire. This is my impression of a vampire:

On Friday we went to the Como Zoo with our friends Cassie, Mandy, and Henry. I also met some new friends who have cool moustaches.

Mommy must have forgotten how to cook lunch because we went to restaurants every day for lunch. I still ate Cheerios though.

We walked to a new park that had a teeter-totter. It was a little scary, but mostly fun.

Hope you all had fun with your Mommies and Daddies this weekend. I am already excited for 4 days of fun at Thanksgiving time! I think Mommy is too ;)

A Long Night...

Of sleep! I was tentative about writing about this last week, but my superstition has been broken, so it's fair game now. So… for the first time since August 2007 I slept undisturbed from my bedtime (10:00pm) until my alarm went off (5:30am) for four days in a row last week. It was glorious! But like all good things, it had to end. I am hoping that it’s just because of the cold that Addie has right now and that she will continue sleeping through the night again soon. ☺

We have all been very busy lately, but have been trying to make the most of our weekend time together. A couple favorite activities are:

Going for runs along the river


Walking down to the park and going down the slides and in the swings


Addie also enjoys watching her “Saturday Morning Cartoons” online. Our friends Mandy and Henry introduced us to Boowa and Kwala – a dog (I think) and a koala who sing songs that Addie LOVES. Her favorite right now is the Toco Toucan song - check it out sometime! (http://www.uptoten.com/kids/boowakwala-club-flower-tocotoucan.html)

Serious Animal Watching




Addie has a fascination with animals. Her favorite by far is Gracie, but anything else that swims, flies, or walks on all fours will do. This weekend we went to the zoo and spent a good amount of time watching the sea otters, meerkats, and fish. Then on Sunday, Grandma and Grandpa Engstrom took us to the Renaissance Festival where there were more animals to see and touch as well as great people watching. ;)
