We chatted with Grandma Noot on Facecall on the way to school. You told her you were so excited to bring your apple to school today. It’s apple week & you will get to make applesauce on Friday! At drop off, you were looking for a spot to take your picture & Ms. Amber suggested you stand by the very festive pumpkins, so she posed with you.

Chrissy picked you up from school today & took you & Olivia to Circus park for a little bit. We met home around 5p & ate dinner. Chrissy booked us an impromptu pumpkin photo shoot for tomorrow. After dinner, we ran to TJ Maxx, Nordstrom & Target to try to find some matching outfits for you & Olivia. Of course you found a Chase that you wanted lol. We had fun shopping. When we were checking out at TJ Maxx, you were telling the cashier that you have a Chase at home but that this one is different so you needed another one lol. Then another cashier peeked around the corner. When you saw you she stopped in her tracks. She kept saying what a beautiful child. She asked you your name and you said “Giovanna Sofia Koontz. Giovanna is my first name, Sofia is my middle name and Koontz is my last name. I’m 4 years old. Four.” You were so good in all the stores we did grab a Chase toy. When we got home, you were so excited to show it to Daddy. You guys played with all the Paw Patrols in the toy room. You used my yoga mat as “water” and Chase would rescue all the pups from the water with his hook! lol. You had so much fun. When I came in to say it was bedtime, you & Daddy asked very nicely for a few more minutes. So, a half hour later, I was back, way later than it should be on a school night. You promptly thanked me for the extra play time and jumped straight into bed. You snuggled and kissed me & fell asleep in about 10 minutes!

I love you so much!
