habidashery
Leila likes hats. And she likes to make lots of different things into hats. She's pretty good at it too. She'll put pants on her head and say "HAT!" or when she gets out of the tub she'll put her washcloth on her head and declare "HAT! HAT!" The other day when we were walking she was holding her hand over her head and screaming "HAT! HAT! HAT!" so that the whole neighborhood could hear her. I didn't see anything in her hand, but she kept yelling. After about the tenth HAT! I saw what she was wearing. A raisin.

what a weekend.
This weekend we have to say goodbye twice.
Leila's great-grandfather passed away.
We also have to say goodbye to Oscar the dog.
It was also a little rough that Leila got sick yesterday morning and had to throw up a few time before she felt better.
But, we did make it to see Anna Dewdney yesterday morning and today we took a walk through the corn maze at the agricenter.
I hope next week we can post some happier stories.

contact info
Just a quick note: Chandler's phone has been acting up lately. She's going to rely on the home phone and e-mail to keep in touch with everyone until she's finished with her thesis. Since I know that at least one of Leila's uncles has misplaced our home phone number, I want to make sure he can find it here. The home phone is nine oh one seven six six nine nine five five and my email is chandler@pritchetts.us. Facebook pokes work too.
The best times to talk on the phone with Leila are on the weekends or between six and seven every evening. I am really glad that we have this blog to keep in touch with everyone, but I sure wish it was easier to chat on the phone with you too. Leila's really looking forward to visiting with her Gigi in a couple of weeks and to seeing Granddaddy and Grandmama during Thanksgiving. We hope that Grandmary will be able to visit in November as well. The thesis show opens on November 7 and will be up through December.

Cooper-Young
This weekend Leila went to the Cooper-Young festival. The Cooper-Young festival is an arts and crafts festival. It is also a chance for the people of Memphis to get together and compare tattoos and eat corndogs. It's pretty crazy:)
Leila went last year and so we had a hard time impressing her this year. Lots of Mommy's friends have booths at the festival and were very happy to see Leila. Mr. Tim and Mrs. Elizabeth even gave her a very pretty pin with a baby on it! I think that was Leila's favorite part of the whole festival, although the ice cubes in our fresh-squeezed lemonade were pretty appealing too.
Mommy's favorite booth was called Firebrand Furniture and was hosted by a guy who made some really cool furniture from the remnants of the floor of a Memphis skating rink. That family has a baby Leila's age and when I got home I googled the info on their business card and found a blog that's a lot like this one (but that has a baby with awesome red leather cowboy boots on the masthead).
Speaking of babies Leila's age, Leila has made a new friend at the park where she plays ever afternoon. It's really funny to see her playing with this girl. They chase each other up and around the slides then into the field and in front of the swings and they point to and talk about the same things. Leila is really good about complimenting what her friend is wearing. When they first met, Leila pointed at the girl's red bow and said "Bow!" Then she touched the girls pink shoes and said "SHOES!" I think everyone needs a friend like Leila to make them feel stylish.
Speaking of style, Leila has a new favorite color. She has been able to say "blue" for a few weeks, but last week she started to say "PINK." Now whenever we let her pick out a shirt it's the pink shirt and whenever we ask if she likes the pink shirt she starts giggling and showing it off.
Leila's looking forward to wearing her pink dress next weekend when we go to meet Anna Dewdney, the author of one of Leila's favorite books in the whole world, Llama Llama Red Pajama. Leila's read Llama Llama Red Pajama so many times that the pages are starting to fall out. Mommy and Daddy can recite it in our sleep (and sometimes do when changing an after-midnight diaper). Hearing the book read by the author should be a real treat!
