Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I woke up close to 7:30 this morning.  Mommy and I came downstairs and had breakfast to let Daddy sleep a bit longer.  I was very excited to watch an episode of Curious George while eating breakfast and what luck, it was my favorite episode with the robots. 
• I played with a few toys and relaxed for a while with Mommy then with Daddy once he woke up. 
• We enjoyed a lazy morning and then I had a nap.
• After my nap, we got dressed and went to Poor House Farm to play since it was such a beautiful day, just a little windy.  We had fun playing at the playground, walking around, looking at the ducks and geese, and watching a guy fly a kite.  I kept hopping over the lines that were painting on the field when we walked through on the way to the ducks.  On the bridge, Mommy, Daddy, and I played "Pooh sticks" like Winnie the Pooh.  It was fun!
• After a quick dinner, we went to see the "big kids" at Shepherd.  They were having their Relay for Life.  It was like a big party.  There was music, people were dancing and walking, and there were games and snacks.  I got to say hi to lots of people, played the duck game (and won a bear).  I also had people give me things (a small bear, a lollipop, and two superhero ducks).  Mommy and I even saw a spider web in the window while walking. I was so worried about where the spider was since it was "missing." Mommy told me it probably left to get a snack and would come back later.  What a fun but tiring night!

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I woke up whining in the middle of the night and had a tough time going back to sleep.  Cuddling with Mommy and Daddy helped though I kept wanting to go downstairs.  Mommy told me I had to wait until it was daylight to go downstairs.
• Daddy and I shared muffins and watched Numberland.  We finally went to wake up Mommy so Daddy could run a few errands.
• Mommy and I did some laundry and dishes while Daddy was away.
• Gemma and I spent much of the day playing on the suitcase that Mommy had put on the couch to unpack and get laundry from.  We cuddled, I pet her, and we played peekaboo from the suitcase.  It was fun.
• Then Mommy ran some errands too. 
• They both left the house, but I stayed home all day.... I never even got out of my pajamas.  It was nice!
• I helped Mommy do a couple of crafts and played with my toys.
• We had Dominoes pizza for dinner and lava cakes too... YUM!  I ended up with more chocolate on my face, fingers, and neck than in my mouth but it was delicious.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I did not wake up until nearly 9:00 this morning. 
• Grandma fixed us pancakes for breakfast.  They were delicious!  I loved dipping them into my very own bowl of syrup.
• After breakfast, we started packing our bags.  I put away my grocery cart and got out a few extra toys like the keyboard and the doodle board to play with while Mommy and Daddy finished packing.
• Grandma asked what I wanted her and Grandpa to bring me back from their trip and after thinking about it, I said, "a special present!"
• We left Grandma and Grandpa's house and went on an extra scenic drive today.  We even got to see lots of big windmills.  I was very excited to see them. 
• I only took a short nap in the car, but spent the rest of the time entertaining myself by singing songs and playing with Mommy and Daddy's phones.  I even took a picture and a few short video clips with Mommy's phone while Daddy was driving.
• Once at home, I was so excited to see that our flowers had "opened up" and to hide in the front door for Mommy and Daddy to find me.  I was also very excited to see Gemma cat.  I missed her!
• After playing with my Easter eggs, helping Mommy look through some Christmas ornaments that we had gotten at an auction, watching one episode of Diego, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for Mommy and Daddy to play in their weekly trivia competition.  I played a few games on Mommy's iPad while they played their game, then got to drive the car game before we left.
• After reading a few books, Daddy put me to bed and I was such a big girl.  I didn't even fuss at all before falling asleep.  I was happy to be in my own bed though I miss Grandma and Grandpa.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I woke up and was very quiet and ran around the house a bit before any one knew I was up.  Grandpa heard me running up and down the hall and got up.  Mommy didn't hear me until I was playing with Lucy's squeaky toy since the monitor battery died during the night.
• Mommy got us Tudor's biscuits for breakfast.  Mommy and I ate apple biscuits, our favorite!  Delicious!
• I played with my shopping cart as well as my headbands.  Daddy, Mommy, Grandpa, and I were all wearing headbands at the same time.  It was funny!
• After lunch, I took a nap then woke up ready to play again. 
• Mommy and Daddy and I went to Roadside Park to play.  When we pulled into the parking lot I saw a boat in the river and yelled, "A SHIP!  A SHIP!  IT'S A PIRATE SHIP!"  Mommy laughed at me.  I loved seeing the "rocket ship" that is next to the park.  The swings, slides, and climbing areas were so much fun.  I found two dandelions.  I was so excited that I got to feed the ducks some crackers before we left the park.
• After Grandma got home, we went to meet Dave, Andrea, and Christian at the Mexican Restaurant.  I ate yummy mac-n-cheese since I had a quesadilla yesterday.  It was yummy!  I colored with Grandma and played with the iPad while we were hanging out there.
• Once at home, I read books with Mommy, talked to Mawmaw, and then Grandma put me to bed.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I slept until 8:00 this morning in the big girl bed.  Daddy got up with me and ate chocolate chip muffins and played until Mommy woke up.
• We got ready and went to meet Grandma at the mall.  I played in the play area at the mall while waiting for Grandma to meet us for lunch. 
• I got to eat a quesadilla and applesauce for lunch at Qdoba then went to Grandma's work to visit.  I even got two snacks of crackers and a chocolate sucker just for visiting and being cute.
• After running around the book store, we went back to Grandma and Grandpa's so I could take a nap then I woke up full of energy and ready to play.  I even played Grandpa's drums and played with my shopping cart.
• I spent the evening with Grandma and Grandpa while Mommy and Daddy went out for the evening. I ate a lot for dinner and practiced wearing my new headbands before heading to bed.
