Dear Aj,
You're finally on the mend. We have had a rough couple of weeks, but you will get better. We all will get better. Your daddy has started to feel better and together we have all started to celebrate the holidays.
You have this infatuation with anything round. Whether it is a balloon, a ball or a pumpkin, to you they are all a "bubble". Oh and when the the true bubble's come out you loose it! Your hands start clapping and you start laughing, you barely can wait for the bubbles to start falling down around your head. You and Annie both enjoy bubble time, part of the fun for you is to watch your crazy dog jump around after the bubbles.
As you have gotten older you and Annie have started to play more together. This week you have started to play catch. You throw the ball, she will run to get it and bring the ball aka "bubble" back to you. The game only last a couple of minutes, but still really funny.
So far you have been pretty lucky about not getting hurt. But the other night luck was not with you. For the last couple of nights you have started to walk all by your-self from the car up the path to the front door. This night was like no other, you walked your-self up the path, but got distracted with all the leaves that were on the front porch. The leaves were covering the mat and the door landing, so you missed your step and went forehead first into the corner of the door. It left a nasty bruise and bump. You wore your war wound well though!
Christmas Lights have started popping up through out the neighborhood. We have one neighbor who's whole house is covered in amazing lights and decoration. Must nights you are fast asleep when we drive by the house. One night you were wide awake and I slowed down so you could see the house. You LOVED the lights and let out a low "wow" as we drove by. You were so interested in the lights we decided to make a trip to the Oakland zoo to see all the Christmas lights that covered the zoo. You absolutely loved it, every where we turned there was more lights to see. They had red lights, blue lights and yellow lights. They had talking alligators and a Big Santa of course. You even had your first train ride around the park. It was a wonderful night for the whole family
You had a fabulous week and I hope we have many more to come
Love you very happy Mommy
