February

Raya told Marika she had a good day at kindergarten.  Marika asked what the best part of her day was.  Raya said that she got to go to the Office because she and one of her buds weren't listening or paying attention.  I'll bet she charmed the principal during her visit.

Raya, "Look, mom, I'm training my new kitty."
Mom, "You are very good at it." 
Raya, "Yes, I'm Certified, Level 2."

October

Raya joined Sparks and was soon selling Girl Guide cookies.  She did extremely well on her first door to door sales.  She has a cute voice and is charming.  Plus she is totally committed to the product.  She had to sell with the older Girl Guides though and they soon decided to ditch her to increase their sales.  They snuck up to a porch, but Raya noticed and ran after them.  As the homeowner answered the door, they could hear Raya running toward their house shouting, "I hate the Girl Guides.  I hate the Girl Guides."

October 10

Robert and Kari get married.  At the ceremony a large number of bridesmaids and relatives proceeded up the aisle and took their place in the wedding party.  Raya sat on my lap and was enthralled.   Just before Kari went by, Raya whispered, "Whoa, a lot of people are getting married today."
