henry wanted fiona's sunglasses

Henry agreed to stop grabbing her sunglasses if they could hold hands.  

Fiona accepted his offer since she liked the way the pumpkin boy jumped.

so the family music time we've been going to has been hit or miss but last weekend it was a major hit.  the woman who came had all sorts of great items to share with all the kids to make noise or participate in every song (fiona got an egg shaker).. and we even marched around the room for a few songs (that's me in the bright green pants walking fiona around).. it was fantastic !  Fiona was completely & utterly focused on everything.. it was sooo much fun watching her reactions.  we even stayed for a bilingual event afterwards that included a mariachi band ! fiona actually fell asleep while we watched the band since she was exhausted from all the fun in the previous event.  can't wait to see what the next music time has in store for us.

we decided to celebrate the start of october with sushi last friday.  here's a delicious spider roll, a sweet girl watching the next table over (with several kids) and my yummy tofu bento box... it makes me hungry just thinking about it.  fiona was totally content at lunch, fascinated with the giant great dane directly outside our window and then equally fascinated with all the people & cars passing by.  she sat peacefully on my lap as we ate, taking everything in around her.  it was a really lovely family lunch.

fiona focusing on a toy during tummy time, the latest hat fashions, practice halloween (for mecca last friday) and happy girl in yoga this morning... wish you could hear the happy sing song voice coming from her at that moment, totally cute.
