Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• I woke up before 7:00 this morning.  
• I played with the iPad in bed with Mommy while Daddy took the dogs for a walk.
• After Daddy got home, I went downstairs and ate breakfast and watch television and relaxed.
• We woke Mommy up at 9:00 then Daddy ran a few errands.  
• I helped Mommy and Daddy while they moved some things around.  I helped by holding the door for them and keeping the dogs inside the house.  Daddy brought home a set of large plastic bowling pins that Mommy had used at her old school.  I immediately opened the bag and set up the pins to bowl.  Mommy helped too.  Indy's tail knocked over the pins so I giggled, turned around and shook my butt to knock over pins like Indy.  I had Mommy bowl under my feet while I jumped over the ball (that didn't work out so well). 
• I wore my pretty Mountaineer cheerleader outfit today since it was game day.  I cheered extra loud, "Let's Go Mountaineers!"
• We watched the first half of the game at Buffalo Wild Wings where I ate mac-n-cheese and drank chocolate milk.
• I napped at home during the second half of the game.  I was glad to hear that the Mountaineers had won after waking from my nap.
• The rest of the evening, I played with my bowling pins, built with my blocks (and played in the bag), rode my bus, skated, and organized my crayons.  We ate yummy pasta for dinner and even had a popsicle for dessert.  I practiced tying with a yarn chain.  I tied it around the light, my bus toy, the dog crate, and even crayons.  I was so proud of myself.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• Donut Friday!  I was so excited waking up and finding out it was Friday.
• It was very foggy this morning once we got close to Ms. Cheri's house.  I think fog is very neat.
• At Ms. Cheri's, I played and played.
• When Mommy picked me up, I was walking in the yard with Payton and Ms. Cheri.  We had been watching the cows cross the road.  Travis had just gotten home in time to encourage the last cow to cross the road too.  I love watching the cows.
• Mommy and I ran home for a very short while before loading back in the car and heading to Ms. Sierra's house.  Mommy said she and Daddy both were going to football games for their schools.
• I had fun with Sierra and her family.  We went shopping, played with the ball, bubbles, and chalk.  It was such a fun evening that I came home and went straight to bed.  
• Mommy was bummed that she didn't get a single picture of me...  maybe she'll take extras tomorrow.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• I was super excited that a garbage truck drove by our house as Mommy and I walked onto the porch.  It was loud, but I loved seeing it.
• I was clingy to Mommy when we got to Ms. Cheri's.  I wanted Mommy to hold me, but she had to leave for work.  Ms. Cheri offered to hold me and I was okay with that.  
• Daddy picked me up from Ms. Cheri's and brought me home.  I was so excited that there was "mail" on the porch.  It was a yellow bag with a yellow book (phone book) in it.  I love finding surprises on the porch!
• Daddy and I rested until Mommy got home.  She worked extra late tonight.
• I played with my blocks and rode my airplane, scooter, and bus through the house.  I also wore my princess jewels and shoes and carried my princess purse.  Mommy and Daddy both said I was "Beautiful!"  
• When it came time to clean up my toys, my blocks were about two feet from the container wooden platform that they fit on, so I decided to carry my bucket over to put all of the blocks in to make one trip, to "make it easier."  Mommy says I'm "brilliant."
• Overall, I was in much better spirits before bed, reading and relaxing with Mommy, even deciding Mommy needed lotion on one of her feet.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• I ate muffins and Daddy got me dressed.  He thought my rainbow shirt would be perfect since it was raining outside.  
• I liked looking at the raindrops on the window while Mommy was driving.  We passed a school bus and I started singing, "the wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish.... all through the town."
• At Ms. Cheri's, I told her I was tired.  She offered to turn off the lights and bring my sleeping bag up from the basement, but I told her I didn't want to lay down.
• Payton and I played and napped and I was so happy to see Mommy when she picked me up.  I sang, "Rain, Rain, Go Away" on the way to the car since it was still sprinkling.
• Before Mommy closed the door, I asked to give Ms. Cheri Eskimo kisses from my car seat.  
• I was quite chatty on the way home and checked on the roses before coming in to see Daddy.  The rain didn't hurt them too much so I was happy.
• For dinner I had a grilled cheese and then ate a few bites of a popsicle but didn't want to finish it.  
• Before bed I had a bowl of cereal with milk... YUM!  I even drank all of the milk after finishing the cereal. 
• I had major meltdowns this evening, being indecisive and whiny.  Mommy was not amused with me.  Daddy came home from church just in time to save me since Mommy was about to put me to bed.  Daddy let me cuddle with him on the couch so I could calm down.  Mommy says that I am wrapped around Daddy's little finger, whatever that means.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• I fell back asleep this morning while Daddy was fixing me breakfast.  He had carried me down to the couch, but I laid over and fell back asleep.
• I was very talkative on the way to Ms. Cheri's house this morning, pointing out the garbage truck, buses, red and green lights, broken apple sign, the beautiful sky, and the turn that Mommy has once forgotten to make.  Mommy said my muffins must have woken me up since I was so chatty.
• I had a great day at Ms. Cheri's.  I showed her what Eskimo kisses were and talked about plans for my birthday party.
• When Mommy picked me up, we called Grandma.  Mommy told her hands free device, "Call Mom at Work."  I asked her why she didn't say, "Call Grandma?"  I told Mommy I wanted Perry cupcakes and a Perry cupcake pinata for my party.  I'm having a hard time understanding that my party won't be for another few weeks.
• I couldn't wait to get home.  I immediately checked on the roses when we got out of the car in front of the house and was very excited to show Mommy some new blooms.  I even danced a little when pointing them out to her.
• After relaxing a bit and dancing and running with Bo on the Go, we went to eat dinner on the way to Ms. Sierra's house.  
• I pretended to "hide" while wearing a bucket on my head... kind of like peek-a-boo.  Mommy thought I was silly!
• I spent the evening with Ms. Sierra, Emily, and Amber.  It was so much fun.  I played with the ball and bubbles.  
• Once at home, I fell asleep quickly.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• This morning was rough... I was so tired!
• On the way to Ms. Cheri's, I asked Mommy, "Is it Friday?"  She said, no, that it was only Monday.  I started whining and saying, "But I want it to be Friday.  I don't like Monday!"  Mommy said, "Me too, honey... me too."  Of course, the only reason I like Fridays so much is because of the donuts!
• Keegan and Payton were both at Ms. Cheri's today.  We had so much fun playing together!  I did take a 2 1/2 hour nap.  Mondays are rough!
• Mommy picked me up and surprised me by taking me shopping in Hagerstown.  We looked at two stores for Phineas and Ferb stickers and things for my party.  We found lots of party decorations and toys, but only big stickers, not small ones like we wanted.  I told everyone what we were looking for, "Phineas and Ferb stickers!" and they helped us find what they had.  
• On the way home, I kept complaining about my toe hurting, "my baby toe."  Mommy told me I could take off my shoe if I wanted to.  Once we got to the house, Mommy saw I had a blister on my pinky toe from my shoes.  Poor me!
• After a quick bite of dinner and an episode or two of Curious George, I played with the dogs, rode my airplane and bus around the house, and cuddled up with Mommy watching funny cat videos on YouTube.  The Simon's cat videos were a lot of fun to watch and reminded Mommy and I of Cameron.  
• I played with the camera and took some silly pictures.  I hid from Mommy when she tried to take pictures.
• Before bed, Mommy showed me an Eskimo kiss and we giggled and giggled while doing it.  Mommy loves special moments like that.  She told me to show Daddy an Eskimo kiss after we went upstairs to go to bed.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• I got a bath bright and early this morning, then decided to wear my pink princess dress to church.  
• I was so excited to go to church that I almost couldn't wait for Mommy and Daddy to get ready.
• I stopped to pick three flowers on the way to church, one for me, one for Daddy, and one for Mommy.  I also wore my sunglasses since the sun was too bright.
• Once at church, I played in the nursery and had so much fun!  After the service was over, I danced and sang into the microphone.  
• While walking home, I stopped a looking into a mirror that was leaning beside a garage.  I kept looking at myself, swaying and looking at my pretty princess dress.  
• In the car on the way to eat lunch, Daddy and I kept making funny noises back and forth.  Daddy finally gave up and said, "You win."  I quickly came back with, "You lose."  He and Mommy laughed and laughed.  Daddy said, "I just got slammed by my little girl!" 
• Daddy wanted to eat lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings, so I had my regular, mac-n-cheese, fries, and chocolate milk.  I even ordered for myself.  The waitress was very impressed!  Before leaving to go home, I played a couple of games on the big touch-screen game system they have.  It was fun!
• Once at home, I went straight to bed for naptime.  I was exhausted!
• After nap, I got to play out back in the bouncy-house.  I even showed Mommy how I could climb the wall like a big girl.  It is still quite a challenge, but I did it (twice!).  I also spent some time playing on my playground too.  I'm getting too big for it, but it is still fun.
• For dinner tonight, I mainly ate broccoli.  Mommy wonders what kind of child she has that will eat more broccoli than mashed potatoes, but she is happy I like healthy food.
• I watched a little Curious George and played fetch with Littles before bed.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• I got to sleep in a little this morning.  When I woke up, Daddy was already downstairs with the dogs, so I went downstairs to join him. 
• I ate chocolate chip muffin tops for breakfast.
• When Daddy left to go to his meeting, I played with the iPad in bed while Mommy rested a little longer.  Mommy even bought me a new app that I asked her to buy me.  I asked Mommy to buy, "Milly, Geo, and Bot."  She looked and saw that it was the Team Umizoomi Math app and was surprised I knew who they were.  I told her that I watch it with Sierra and Emily.  I spent a lot of the day playing this app and was getting much better at identifying my numbers and counting after playing it for a while.  Mommy typed my name in as a player of the game.  Later in the day, I added Mommy's name (JBGGFFDSSD), Daddy's name (YUJJJK,,,) and Grandma's name (L,MJHHGGVV) so they could play too. 
• We had a lazy day today.  Mommy and I never left the house, we just played here and relaxed.  I watched a few episodes of Curious George and Franny's Feet and played the iPad.  I also moved all of the couch cushions and pillows and tried to slide down them, but Mommy wasn't too happy about that.  I played with Mr. Potato head and my legos and train too.  I also helped Daddy go through a couple of drawers to clean them out.  I was very excited that he found more crayons for me.
• Daddy bought us Chinese food for dinner.  I love lo mein noodles!  I also loved eating some of Mommy's green peppers and rice.  I tried using chopsticks like Mommy and Daddy, but it isn't as easy as it looks.
• Overall, it was a nice day at home and I loved spending the day with Mommy and Daddy.
