Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• First thing after Mommy put me in the car I asked to listen to "that song."  She knew what I wanted to hear, but made me say tobyMac anyway.  I love to dance and sing that song and ask to listen to it nearly every time we are in the car.
• When Mommy picked me up from Ms. Cheri's, Keegan and I were playing school.  It was fun!
• I played with Dresden and ran all over the house with him.  He loves to follow me around the house.
• After dinner, Mommy helped me add stickers to my valentines and I decided to climb into the  rubbermaid toy drawer to read one of my books.
• I also threw the pillows and couch cushions on the floor to jump on the folded sleep sofa... it's bouncy and fun.
• I took a bath and enjoyed playing with my toys, especially dumping the cups of water on my head over and over again.  I especially loved my monkey towel when I got out of my bath.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I got to eat yummy mac-n-cheese at Ms. Cheri's house today.  I was so happy!
• I wasn't too excited to leave Ms. Cheri's with Mommy because I was too busy watching George on television with Keegan.  But, as soon as Mommy told me that Daddy was going to take me to Chick-fil-a, I was ready to go.  I love that place!  I got to play and eat and Daddy visited with some of the APO people from Shepherd who were there raising money.
• I spent the rest of the evening playing with Daddy and Dresden until Mommy got home.
• I was being silly and jumped down onto my bed after turning off the light and hit my head on the side of the bed.  Mommy says I might have a nice bruise on my forehead but I was okay.  I was able to use my injury to my advantage to get a little extra cuddle time before Mommy put me back in my bed.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I had so much fun again today at Ms. Cheri's. 
• When Mommy picked me up, I jumped up and down very enthusiastically yelling, "MOMMY!  MOMMY!  MOMMY!"  I missed her today.  I was even more excited when Mommy said we were going to her school.
• At Mommy's school, I helped give out raffle tickets and hand out prizes.  I'm such a good helper!  I also enjoyed playing with and chasing a ping-pong ball around the cafeteria.  I even got to run into my friend Gabriel at Mommy's school.  I said, "I Alyson" and when he told me his name was Gabriel, I said, "No, I Alyson."  Mommy had to explain that his name was Gabriel like my name is Alyson.
• After Wyld Life was over, I helped in Mommy's room for a few minutes.  My favorite part was writing on her board with the marker.  I loved it.  I said I was writing letters.
• Once at home, we relaxed for the evening.  I did work on coloring a few more "valentine" pictures.  I colored two "mermaid balloons" and a plane and a lion.  Be on the lookout for your Alyson original artwork in the mail in the next week!

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I wore my purple socks with my red shoes today...  Mommy wasn't sure about it, but I knew I could pull off the bold fashion statement.
• I was so excited to be going back to Ms. Cheri's today.  When Mommy pulled into her driveway, I yelled, "I HERE!  I HERE!" and when Mommy got me out of the car, I ran and gave Ms. Cheri a big hug.  I know she missed me.  I was also very happy to see Keegan and Payton and gave them big hugs too.
• After coming home to get Daddy, we went shopping for a few items.  I had a little more difficulty than normal being whiny so I only got to go in the stores when I wasn't whining, otherwise I stayed in the car with either Mommy or Daddy. 
• Once we got home, I played with Dresden and even built "my doghouse" with pillows off the couch.  I laid on them and rolled on them. 
• I took a few self-portraits with Mommy's phone before bed (Mommy only decided to share one below).
• I enjoyed watching the snow falling outside of my window while trying to fall asleep tonight.  It was so pretty and peaceful.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• Slept in again this morning (until after 8:00).
• Walked in the snow to church.  I loved looking at our footprints in the snow as we walked.
• I had fun playing in the nursery at church.
• I drew pretty pictures to mail my friends and family for Valentine's Day.  I mostly drew pictures of mermaids but also a picture of a racecar balloon, dolphin, heart, and strawberries.  After I drew the picture, Mommy wrote a note of what I said I drew so she wouldn't forget.  I kept wanting to draw more and more.  I loved the pretty paper Mommy bought me to use.  It even has the letter A on it for Alyson.
• Other than church we had a relaxing day at home playing and doing a few chores around the house.  I love helping to feed our furry friends and to help do laundry.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• Slept in until 8:00.
• Daddy brought mommy and I donuts in bed.
• I tried to feed the kitties and made a mess.
• Daddy told me that I was in his heart. I told him no and that I was in my seat (carseat).
• We rode in the car a long time then ran into Grandma and Grandpa. They went to visit Mawmaw and Pawpaw too. Aunt Marsha, Aunt Carol, Jenny, and even my littlest baby cousin was there. It was so nice to see everyone.
• Daddy got golden Oreos for me out of the vending machine. The first thing I did was split them and lick the cream. He wonders where I learned that.
• For dinner, I ate yummy Mac n cheese and broccoli at Outback with the family. It was delicious and fun!

Alyson's Memorable Moments of the Day:

• I woke up thinking it was time for Mommy and Daddy to go to work, but was surprised to find out we could all sleep in a little bit.  It was nice to stay home.
• After breakfast, I decided to put Mommy's Think Geek sticker on my belly.
• I spent the morning, playing in my tunnel and tent, coloring, and playing with my toys (and Dresden).  I also built a tower with Daddy.  I pointed out all of the orange blocks while I was putting them together.
• Mommy and I went shopping.  I love shopping!  While shopping, Ms. Cheri called to say how much she loved the card we sent and the picture I drew.  She seems to be feeling much better.  It looks like I'll be back at her house on Monday.  On the way home in the car, I took lots of pictures of myself (about 30-40 pictures).  Mommy included a few of my self-portraits below.
• I spent a few hours this evening with Ms. Sierra while Mommy and Daddy went to an APO meeting and to dinner.  It was fun!
