Cute Niece
While I was talking with Dave tonight, I asked if Kira had received the Halloween package that I sent. He said yes, but that they weren’t letting her open it yet, since it was a Halloween thing. I told him to go ahead and let her open it, since next week is not only Halloween, when she might be getting other treats, but also her birthday (so many October birthdays!).
The package contained just a few little goodies — a stuffed animal (a black cat in a pumpkin costume), a book (Mouse’s First Halloween), and a couple pieces of candy.
Kira had already wished me a happy birthday, with a bit of prompting. (Mom says that Kira is just getting used to the phone — last week Dave was on the phone with Mom and asked Kira if she wanted to talk to Grandma, so Kira picked up her toy phone.)
A couple minutes after she opened the package, Dave and I were talking about some random subject, and Kira apparently came over to Dave with a purpose, and wanted the phone. Suddenly I heard a muffled, “Thank you” from the other end. Then Dave came back on, and confirmed that I’d heard “thank you”, but through a mouthful of chocolate. Too cute.
