September was another full month for Little Squirrel. She got to move up from the "pink" class in balled (a.k.a. Intro to Dance) to the "blue" class (Primary 1 Ballet). This was fortunate as somehow since class ended in June both her shoes and her leotard had shrunk somehow…
Swimming lessons started up again. This time Cracker got to be in the same class as Tea and LS. They all had a great time but unfortunately, LS got sick the last week so she missed the final two classes. I had to explain to her that when she has a 105°F fever and has been vomiting, they don't want her in the pool.
LS also got to spend some more quality grandparent time in September. She had a fun brunch with Gram E (where she got to show her pictures and tell Gram E about her trip to Oregon).
Grandma Rita's birthday and related party were mid-month and held at Uncle Ivan's house. LS had fun and is getting more interactive with her cousin, baby Athen, who was showing off his new walking skills at the party. I think she found his new mobility more fun than him just laying there as countless relatives pass him around.
The most exciting event of the month had to be the celebration of International "Talk Like a Pirate Day". This event occurs every September 21st and is eagerly anticipated by Papa each year. As this year's date fell on a Friday, he had been planning a huge surprise event for his office for months. Little Squirrel loved helping him hunt for pirate "treasure" and props on the Oregon Coast and even helped assemble some of the goodies he was distributing among his co-workers. The morning of the great day, they both dressed appropriately for the occasion.
