FOUR!

This afternoon I was going to take Dharma to play mini-golf.  It was closed so we played at the park in the mall instead.  She quickly made two little friends.  The three girls chased eachother and had a mock sleepover.  Then, the older brother of one of the girls (he must have been 4, maybe even 4 and a half) came by and pushed his sister down.  So Dharma, being the good friend that she is, turned and pushed him down.

Dharma said she was going to take post on top of the apple so she could "watch out for bad guys."

We stopped in a store on the way out and Dharma told the lady in the store all about how I told her she could play mini golf and now it was closed and how distraught she was over this.  She conned the lady into giving her a sucker, which she had hanging out of her mouth while riding the pink motorcycle.

Tonight after Rob got home and we had dinner, we all went back to play that round of mini golf.  Dharma did not quite get the hang of how to hold the club.

Eventually she gave up, abandoned our game and found ways to entertain herself by pretending to poop in the hole on the green:

Pretending the club was a horse:

Trying to figure out how the course worked and if she could get her arm stuck in the holes (she can):

And climbing on the decorations:

There was some creepy bear picture on one of the holes.  You can't really see in the picture but there were dents and holes all over that wall in the shape of golf balls from people trying to hit the bear.

Other than pushing a little boy down, swindling candy out of a store clerk and messing around with everything in sight at the mini golf place, Dharma was pretty well behaved today.
