Prince Charming

Last weekend we went to see Mama and Daddy’s friends who just moved to California. They say I have met these people before but I’m not sure that I believe them. Because, their friends have kids, and I’m sure I would remember them – especially their daughter – she is very cute. Right away I could tell that she liked me because she was showing me all their toys and telling me stories about her brother. She also told me all about the story of Snow White. I always thought that “princess” meant cat because Daddy and Mama always say “Mini [my cat] thinks she is such a princess!” But it turns out I was wrong. “Princess” does not mean cat, but instead means pretty girl. So, why does my cat think she’s a pretty girl? That’s a weird thing to think don’t you agree?

Anyway, ever since my visit with them I’ve been thinking about princesses and how they like to be kissed by boys so I thought I’d see if this were really true. Mama was reading a book to me this morning, and there’s a pretty girl in the story so I tried to kiss the girl to see if she would come alive. But she didn’t. However, it was kind of fun, so I made sure to kiss the girl on every single page of the book just in case one of them came alive. In the end, there were no princesses who popped out of the book, but don’t worry, I’ll keep trying.

Me and My Princess

Hoping my princess will come alive

Happy Thanksgiving!

Shopping!

Last month my parents were really busy with their activities. I'm still not exactly sure what they were doing but they kept leaving me with Grandma or Grandpop and said they were doing "shows". But now they are done and I was really excited for last weekend because we were going to get to spend a lot of time together. I couldn't wait for all the fun things we were going to do, like going to the park, walking up and down the street, pushing boxes around the house, and playing cymbals. So, you can imagine my disappointment when my mom announced that we were going shopping. "Shopping?!" Momma didn't mention however where we were going shopping...

On Saturday we went to a place called 826 Valencia, and I have to tell you that this is my favoritest store ever. They sell drawers - all kinds of drawers. And the best part is they let me open and shut these drawers as much as I wanted AND there was great stuff inside. There were coins, and lemons, and paper, and snakes. You might think I'm kidding, but I am not. I'm not sure who would want to buy a drawer full of snakes, but what a great idea!

Then, on Sunday, we went shoe shopping for Momma. I must admit - I had extremely low expectations of this adventure. Momma was really excited, but daddy looked pretty ho-hum about the whole thing. And I will believe anything that my daddy tells me - he is my hero. But I put on a face and we all went downtown together. At first it was b-o-r-i-n-g, (that spells "boring") but then I got to walk around, and when I started looking at all the shoes I realized that they were all messed up and I decided to help straighten them. For example, Momma left her shoes on the ground when she was trying on other ones, and I helped her clean up by putting them on the table with the other shoes. Once I started helping out, I forgot how boring it was and actually had fun. In fact, I might even say that it was my second favoritest store - right after the drawer store.

"Bah! Look at all these drawers!!"


This drawer had treasure in it!

Snakes?!

"Seriously Mom? We are going to spend the day shoe shopping?"

That's better - now all the shoes are off the ground


I may have just gone to my two favorite stores,

but nothing, nothing, compares to playing the cymbals

I'm Famous!!

Yesterday I was searching online for a special outfit to wear to the Thanksgiving Party (no! I will not be a turkey!) and I found an ad on one of my favorite sites that is named after me!! I knew that I was starting to become popular around my neighborhood (people often stop my Mommy and Daddy when I'm with them and ask "Is that Jingle?") but I didn't know that The Google knew who I was! I got so excited I just had to tell someone. I would love to write to them and tell them that I like their clothes and I'm happy that they want to use my name. But I also want to tell them to fix their ad because it really should say "Jingle's Deals" not "Jingle Deals". That makes no sense. I copied the ad below so you could see it - isn't it cool?

My Halloween

Early in the day we went to a pumpkin patch to try out my costume but I felt like there was something missing...and I just couldn't put my finger on it....but then it hit me!..

"You know what my costume needs? A Bow Tie!!!"

What do you think? Was I right, or was I right??

Mom made me an iceberg to push around because I'm the strongest penguin ever!

My parents told me my costume had tails, but I don't understand why.

Penguins don't have tails.

We went to D's house to go trick or treating with him and I was so shocked to see him. He was HUGE! I was actually a little nervous to be too close to him since he seemed to grow muscles over night. I was especially nervous to think what he might look like on Monday when I would see him again. I was afraid he would be as big as Daddy. (He wasn't)

I had a lot of fun on Halloween but by the time we went trick-or-treating I was sooo tired! Maybe next year we can go out earlier... (I must be getting old or something!)
