A divine o-nine summer.

1. Lady and the Tramp: "I wish I could get into the tv and carry her up the steps."
2. Ladybugs: Here to stay.
3. Turtles: Oh my. Turtles are the new ladybug.
4. Moths: They will do in the absence of a butterfly. You collect these in your bugcatcher and bring them to your room for the night.
5. Ducks: Since Daddy rescued "Ducklin," add ducks to the ladybug, turtle list. ["Your an Eggo daddy!" meant dad is an animal rescuer like Diego]
6. Praying Mantis: One more to add to the list.
7. It's so important to you to identify the places where your favorite people live, whenever you see a map.
8. Afghan: You talked Gigi into making you a green one for your birthday. It's still your favorite color.
9. Anytime you feel the slightest bit of a breeze you dash to find your kite and sneakers.
10. Pretending to be on the radio, you and dad are quite the hams.
11. Playing in the sand is a favorite pastime.
12. You've given your radio flyer scooter a much cooler name: scooterator. I have no idea how it came to be, but it's the only name you will call it.
13. The Mars Rover fascinates you, you believe he is actually a dog.
14. When you see a Volvo semi you light up, "It's a fuge Beulah!"
15. Nose plugs for the pool have been more appropriately named 'nose goggles' by you.
16. Any hilly road, quick turn or theme park ride is referred to as "slippy," as in "slippy ride" or "gives you a slippy tummy."
17. Since the visit to GiGi's, you love collecting hotel soap. She graciously offered her collection to you and you continue to guard it.
18. During Toy Story today you asked, "Mommy? How do we get our toys to talk when we go downstairs?"
