Sleeping pumpkins is how dad and sis party at the Helzer's. Mom and Erica took us around the neighborhood. It was kind of scary for me and I can't understand why they thought I would enjoy it. I guess it's supposed to fun because you get candy, but if you ask me, it's not worth walking around in the dark for! :) But it's cool 'cause I got to run around my front yard for a while after we were done. And I also helped race to the door whenever trick or treaters rang our doorbell. It was way more exciting than trick or treating myself. Plus, I already get candy when I use the potty, so I'd rather do that (since I need to do it all the time anyway!) than go knocking on doors at night and walking near scary pumpkins and skeletons. Speaking of the potty...I told mom last week all by myself that I needed to go and I did! I'm still learning, but mom and dad were pretty excited when it happened. I'm just growing up and becoming more independent each day. I can go in and out of my room as I see fit. Why, just last night I came out of my room and turned on the TV without mom seeing me! I knew she was in Keira's room and that I could escape her view to turn on the "night night" show on Sprout. When mom came back, I'd already made it back to my room, but I forgot to turn off the TV! Oh well...I'm still learning:) The magic word is something I've just learned too. Dad taught it to me. I think that "please" can really help to get me places. So watch out! Also pictured...Keira was a good sport when mom and dad thought it would be cute to take a picture in just her overalls...they were right.
