WOGSGIVING
Unfortunately we don't have any pictures of The Wog all trussed up for Thanksgiving Day, but here are some from our weekend trip to Connecticut.

10 THINGS THE WOG IS THANKFUL FOR
1. Grandparents
2. Dogs (particularly small ones named Piglet who let her--by this I mean "barely tolerate her"--walk them around the house on a leash for hours on end; also on The Wog's list of beloved animals are chicken and bunnies; when we sing "Old MacDonald" her farm is exclusively occupied by these three animals; this item also extends to include books about dogs, most especially "Harry the Dirty Dog," which she requests nightly at bedtime as "Dirty dog! Dirty dog!")
3. Oobi
4. Cupcakes
5. Tunnels (a new and compelling obsession--building, climbing through, identifying, talking about, etc.)
6. New shoes
7. Playgrounds (specifically, the swings and her father's smooth "underdog" maneuver)
8. Pacifiers (we're working on getting this one off the list for 2007)
9. Noodles ("Noon-els," but only if cooked by the mom who hosts our playgroup)
10. Post-bath, living room dance parties
Honorary Mentions: balloons; bubbles; animal sounds, particularly monkeys ("oo oo ah ah") and donkeys ("hee haw"); talking on the telephone ("phuh-phone"); "Corduroy" (not a doggy, chicken or bunny, but The Wog has been known to make an exception); oranges; swimming pools; the color purple; and drinking from a cup.
Happy Belated Thanksgiving from The Wog!

THE WOG GETS A NEW 'DO
At playgroup this morning, one of the other mothers French-braided The Wog's hair. (Amazing that The Wog sat patiently throughout; if she so much as seems me coming with a brush, she's long gone). It's "big girl" hair!

"MORE CANDY!"
In an effort to expand yesterday afternoon's trip to the grocery store, I made the mistake of giving The Wog her very first lollipop. The result was this, come bedtime:

SHE'S GOT A LOT TO SEE, SHE'S GOT A LOT TO DO...
For the past several days The Wog has been fascinated with a kid's television program called Oobi. Here she is, watching the eponymous Oobi, Grandpoo and Uma:
The Wog has been busy lately, learning new words and phrases. One of her favorite new exclamations is, "I did it!" Usually she'll say this after she successfully buckles herself into her highchair. Usually before we head downstairs from her bedroom, I'll ask The Wog, "Do you want to walk, or do you want me to carry you?" She always emphatically responds, "Carry YOU!" We've been trying to determine whether she thinks there's actually a difference between "carry me" and "carry you." She also tells us quite clearly when it's time for bed. Her sleep schedule has been off slightly for the past few weeks so it's hard to know when she might feel like a little nap; the other day we got to the library at our usual time and she was dragging her feet on the way in. I told her, "It's Storytime!" and she instantly responded, "It's Sleepytime!"
