November 6, 2012- Election Day

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day

• I had a restless morning, but was content to stay in bed until close to 7:30 when Daddy got up with me.  For some reason it is Tuesday and Daddy didn't wake me up before 6:30 and I didn't go to Ms. Cheri's. 
• I ate a half of a donut and played with Daddy.  I had a great time running all over the house wearing Daddy's yellow hat from his Halloween costume... I looked super cute in it too!  I found the stash of bottles that I used when I was little.  I decided to dump out the bag of bottle nipples and when Daddy told me I had to pick them all up, I counted 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (not 1, 2, 3, 9, 10 as I so often do) while picking them up.  Daddy was very proud of me.  I went upstairs to wake up Mommy by jumping on her and the bed.  I sat in bed and watched an episode of "Go Diego, Go" on Mommy phone before going back downstairs.
• I helped Daddy wash dishes and do laundry throughout the day.  I tried taking more pictures with Mommy's phone.  Most of the self-portrait pictures were still way to close to turn out without Mommy's help.  I did get one or two of my eyes and nose.  I tried to take a picture of Gemma and Daddy, but they didn't turn out well at all.  I'm still learning, but I'll get it.  I was having fun and was so proud of myself.  I decided since Daddy had just finished eating chips to help myself to the chip bag while sitting on my bus toy.  I only got a few leftover crumbs, but Mommy thought I was cute. 
• Daddy took Mommy and I to Dairy Queen for lunch.  We ran into my first babysitter, Melissa, there with her two daughters.  I don't really remember her, but she seemed nice today and was very interested in what I was doing and how I have been.  I think we probably got along very well.  I got to eat an ice cream cone after lunch... YUM!
• After lunch, we drove to a school, not Mommy's school, but another school and we went inside.  I've been in her before and recognized the same people that are always there with a big book and two machines.  Mommy and Daddy said they were voting and that I had to be really good.  I helped Daddy vote, well I at least held the extra pencil used to tap answers on the voting machine.  I told Daddy he did a good job after he finished voting.  When leaving, Mommy and Daddy told me we had just voting for the President and that it was a big deal.  I'm sure it will be more of a big deal when I'm older, for today, I just liked holding the pencil.
• After voting, I was exhausted so I took a 3 hour nap. 
• After my nap, Mommy started fixing dinner.  She tried a new recipe and I wasn't a fan of anything except the cooked carrots.  She says I will get try it again for lunch tomorrow since I barely tried any of it tonight. 
• I rode my bus and plane and climbed on my chair and kitchen, played with Mommy's ipad, read books, and watched another couple of episodes of "Go Diego, Go" before bed.
