Kona loves having Eliza over! He really enjoys practicing tricks like SIT, ROLL OVER, BE VERY STILL, SHAKE YOUR TAIL JUST A LITTLE, and SING! Aunty Christy said, "Eliza, you should be a professional dog trainer when you grow up," but Eliza said, "Nah, I'm going to be on Dancing with the Stars." So Aunty Christy asked, "As a star or as a judge?" "As a STAR!" Aunty Christy is sure Eliza will be famous for something when she grows up!

Today we went to Barnes and Noble and read some books, including a fun book about counting called The Ten Button Book. There's a page for each number from 1 to 10, and you put colored buttons in the holes in the pictures! Eliza mentioned that she would like to make her OWN book with her OWN drawings. Sounds like a fun project for the coming weeks! Aunty Christy enjoyed drawing with Eliza today and agreed that she is a fantastic artist with an eye for color!

We watched part of "Annie" while we ate lunch. Then Eliza drew a picture of Annie (see the red curly hair?) under some thunderclouds. She also made a beautiful outfit for Annie!


Here's Eliza helping to make some blue Jell-O, which she's excited to eat at our park picnic tomorrow!

Conversation of the Day:

(after some Taylor Swift car karaoke en route to swimming class)
Aunty Christy: Eliza, you are such a good singer.
Eliza: I know. I think I will go on American Idol instead of Dancing with the Stars.
