Dina Tolkin Cressman: October 2006

Pumpkin patch family shot.

Today we went to the pumpkin patch with Erica and Natasha. Dina dressed in a little lambkin outfit that Erica got for her. Zhanar wore a big lambkin outfit to match. Ha ha just kidding.

The lambkin costume is handy for picking up Dina. She likes it too - just like a kitten. If only it came with a shoulder strap.

This is my nose.

Hay, who's that?

Wagon Wheel and lambkin baby

Wee hoo! She's a little lambkin. One boy even tried to feed her hay. Honest! I'm sure Carson can Identify with that - his high school mascott was the "Little Lambkin". Go Little Lambkins! Get thost Tigers!

Dina sleeps while we wait for the Aquabus to Science World.

Jane! Get me off this thing!!! Actually she liked this room, but somehow the photo caught her in a funny pose.

"Bah! Bah! Bah!" Dina's word for ball, over and over when we played in the ball room at Granville Island. It was well worth the $3 admission. There also was a huge slide, a room full of punching bags, fishbowl rooms, and even a tube that looked (and smelled) like a hamster cage.

We got two matching dolls to help keep Dina pinned during mealtimes. It's like tagteam wrestling. First one, then the other, then back again... and when things get really tough they both jump into the ring at once. She gave Zhanar a really good "Ooooo!" when Zhanar showed them to her in the store and we knew they'd be a hit.
