Salome in the Fall

Salome got to meet even more animals in person this past month.  We went to visit friends who have a farm with goats and llamas and horses and lots of dogs.  Salome got to play with their daughter Elise and feed goats and pet dogs...she was in heaven.
She also had an extended interlude with a ladybug and was entranced as it crawled all over her. 
She's still way into Bambi and when I re-discovered the old Bambi pillowcase from my childhood, she latched on and sleeps with it every night.  She also brushes Bambi's teeth, as well as Bumper's (Thumper), Wower's (Flower) and Bambi's mama's.  It helps her voluntarily get her teeth brushed when her friends have to go through it too.  
She's been obsessed with two books especially lately - her new one from Auntie Hilly called "So Much!" and an old one of hers about a lion who is looking for Little Bird to get the thorn out of his paw, and since he has a  "poky" in his paw, she calls that book the "poky one".
She's really into fall now, and loves the colorful leaves on the ground and the pumpkins everywhere.  She likes the little leafy things that she can put on her nose and be a rhinocerous too.  So many fun things to do in the fall...
