Dogfest!

Every year, my school has a big, fun time at a nearby park. It's Dogfest! People bring their dogs. Tons of my friends are there. Lots of games. I love getting my face painted. A butterfly, always. The cool part about it is that I get to play with my friends! And eat cotton candy. But I can never finish a whole one by myself. I saw a really tiny dog that was so cute. I probably could fit it in my pocket. And I saw a dog that could flip backwards in the air. How did he do that? And Cruella de Vil was there! Except he was a man dressed like a woman. Like RuPaul. But I think that RuPaul looks more like Barbie.

Here's a video Mommy made. I try to avoid the camera, but she sometimes sneaks a photo of me when I'm not looking.

Ellie!

Yay! Today is my baby cousin Ellie's birthday! She's two! She's not really a baby anymore. She's a toddler! She's smart, strong, and really funny. I love her. I finger-knit her a scarf. But Mommy hasn't mailed it yet. Come on, Mom, get with it.

Happy birthday, Ellie!

Drunk

Mommy: Yoshi, how would you get drunk, if you could?

Me: Well, I'd drink a lot of 7-Up! And then a lot of hot cocoa! And then I'd punch myself in the face!

Mommy: Yeah, that sounds about right.
