Technically
for the record I am credited with taking my first steps at Camano during the
second week of September, but after those first couple of steps my progress regressed
faster than the national economy. I had heard the slogan, “watch your step” and
I didn’t really feel like watching all my steps, so I decided to keep crawling.
After Reese filled me in on what the saying actually meant, I went right back to
practicing my walking. I love taking two or three steps and then lunging for my
destination with a smile and laugh—I’m also known for giving myself a round of
applause after a successful journey across the room.
We took
multiple trips to GP and BB’s house in October to visit them and Grandma
Hannah. GP is a great walking assistant. As I was learning to walk during our
trips to GP and BB’s, Reese was perfecting her craft as a dog walker. She loved
to take Devlin for walks with GP or BB. I think Reese is going to love having
Dakota around at Nana and Bop's.
Our trips to
Seattle also included multiple trips to the zoo and Grandma Hannah's. At the zoo
we saw animals in semi-natural habitats that were fed a strict diet on a regulated
schedule and had lots of visitors come to see them, at Grandma Hannah’s we saw… On our last visit to Grandma Hannah’s we
showed off our Halloween costumes and they were a huge hit.
For
Halloween we showed off our costumes on Woodin Ave in downtown Chelan where all
the shops gave out candy. The street was full of kids in costumes and parents with
cameras and of course candy. Reese did her best to keep up with our cousins and
get as much candy as possible—though I did share her frustration that after
lots of hard work collecting candy all night it seemed unfair to just have Mom
and Dad take it away when we got home. Personally it was easier for me because I
only had two pieces of candy that I had gotten on our last stop, our
landlord/neighbors.
After a long
day of traveling and visiting friends Reese’s love for pizza may have been
cemented when she made this comment one night; “My tummy really hurts, I need
some pizza.”
Slow to walk, Mom says I have become a world class crawler
Reese warmed up to the goat at the pumkin patch and led him eat out of her hand
Reese loves her rain boots and mud puddles, fortunately at the same time
GP & BB came to the pumkin patch with us to help us find the perfect pumpkin, unfortunately there wasn't any room in the wheelbarrow for a pumpkin
With her costume, Lighting McQueen candy bag and her purse Reese was ready to trick or treat
We got to trick or treat with our cousins at the shops in downtown Chelan
Love to all,
Reese Bronson & Kendall Starr
