Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:
 

• I woke up before Mommy left for work this morning.  I sounded disappointed when she said she had to go to work.
• After Mommy left, Daddy took me to Ms. Kelly's house for a couple of hours.  I had fun playing.
• When Daddy picked me up, we met Dave for lunch.  I ate ravioli and it was delicious!
• Daddy and I took a nap together in his bed then we relaxed and watched a little television until Mommy got home.
• Daddy fixed dinner.  The hot dog and tater tots were so yummy!
• Mommy let me ride my scooter to Ms. Brittny's house.  When we got there I noticed she and I were wearing the same shirts so she took our picture with her phone.  We left my scooter on her porch and walked to Dairy Queen where I had a swirly ice cream cone.  On the way walking back to her house to get my scooter, I collected several leaves.  I told Mommy to "keep them for your collection."  Mommy doesn't have a collection but may have to start one.  While walking, I liked swinging between Mommy and Brittny's hands.  I was counting, "1, 2, 3" (on 3 they would swing me).  Brittny told me to county to 5 the next time so I said, "2...5!"  Mommy thought it was hilarious!
• Once back at home, I played with my leaves.
• We also ran to K-Mart to shop a few minutes, then I got to ride the "turny-thing" (small carousel in front of the store).
• At home, I ate most of an orange that Ms. Brittny had given me... I kept asking for more and more until it was nearly gone.  So delicious!

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:
 

• When I woke up, Mommy wasn't home.  She was at work.  I got to spend the day with Daddy.
• After breakfast, we went to the library where I played with the puzzles, put on a puppet show, and picked out new books.  I even picked out a Spongebob book.  
• We also went to Petsmart to get Jefferson, the turtle, some treats.  I saw guinea pigs, kitties, and dogs.  I love going there.
• Daddy took me to Chick-fil-a for lunch, my favorite!  I even got to play.
• When we got home, I took a long nap. 
• I was super excited that Mommy woke me up from my nap.  I missed her today.
• Daddy seemed a little sad when I came downstairs and he decided we should all go to Buffalo Wild Wings.  Mommy and I didn't complain one bit. 
• While at Buffalo Wild Wings, I played with my new apps on Mommy's iPad while we were there.  My favorite app is the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse app where I get to color different parts of the clubhouse.  It is so much fun!  I told Mommy, "I stank!" while we were there.  She took me to the bathroom to change my stinky diaper.  When she was pulling up my pants, the diaper was laying beside of me and I started gagging and nearly threw up since the smell bothered me.  I did that until Mommy threw the diaper in the trash.  She couldn't help but laugh at me and go out and tell Daddy about how the smell of my own poop was enough to nearly make me throw up.
• Once back at home, Mommy and I cuddled on the couch after playing with the balloon.  I also ate a cup of cereal before bed since I wasn't "full to the top."

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:
 

• I woke up before 8:00 and came into Mommy and Daddy's room and said, "It's morning!"
• Daddy and I went downstairs and ate breakfast and let Mommy sleep a little longer. Isn't my Daddy super nice?  Mommy think so!
• I was super excited when Mommy told me it was time to get ready for church.  I love going to church.  I was a little disappointed when I heard that Sierra and Emily wouldn't be there, but was happy that Bekah would be there.  
• I wore a pretty purple dress and knew I looked cute.
• I stopped to pick three flowers on the way to church, so each of us had one, one for Mommy, one for Daddy, and one for me too.
• I spent some time downstairs watching Veggie Tales with Bekah while Mommy and Daddy worked in the sound room.  It was fun.  I also got to play hide and seek with Christopher too.
• After church was over, Daddy and I played a song together on the piano.  It sounded very pretty.  I also counted and sang into the microphone.
• We went to Pizza Montese for lunch and I ate two helpings of lasagna and some pizza.  I also ate two helpings of cookie and a piece of cake too.
• After lunch, it was nap time.  Even though I told Daddy I wasn't tired, I fell asleep before we even got home.  I slept a long time after Daddy put me in my bed.
• The rest of the day was spent at home, playing with my bubbles, helping Daddy work outside, petting and hugging Gemma and Cameron, and watching a little tv with Mommy and Daddy.  
• It is good to be home.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:
 

• I woke up close to 7:00 then I helped Daddy pack.
• I ate a biscuit with butter and jelly for breakfast then played at the playground with my friends and built a campfire with lots of sticks.
• Daddy and I traveled home only stopping for lunch in Petersburg. 
• I was so happy to be home and to see Mommy.  I gave her a big hug.  I also gave Gemma a big hug and immediately wanted to give the cats treats.  Mommy told me to give Gemma three treats, so I counted them out, "one, two, three."
• While Daddy took a nap, Mommy and I called Grandma and Grandpa, watched The Care Bears Movie, and downloaded a few new apps on the iPad.  I rode my scooter outside on the sidewalk.  I looked at Mommy and said, "I'm going to Brittny's" and when she said no, I turned the other way and said, "I'm going to church."  Mommy knows I'm trying to be independent, but she thinks I'm pushing my luck a little.  We also tossed the ball back and forth.  I liked throwing it to Mommy and immediately trying to do a handstand then getting back up to catch it and repeating the process.  Mommy thought I was too cute.
• After dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings and grocery shopping (I kept telling Mommy and Daddy everything that I thought we needed), we came home and I helped unload the groceries while Daddy helped the neighbor.  I also blew bubbles on the porch with Mommy. 
• We watched Monsters, Inc. and I thought it was so hilarious. While watching, I asked Mommy for a piece of bread to eat.  I put a hole in it to look through, then ate the whole thing.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:
 

• I started whining at 2:30 this morning so daddy crawled into bed with me so I would fall back asleep. He seemed awfully tired this morning when his alarm went off.
• Daddy gave me a shower this morning. I liked sticking my tongue out and catching the water. Then, we took a trip to the Beckley Mall. I asked daddy for a Perry the Platypus toy but daddy said I already had one. So, I told him I needed an Agent P toy
• I talked to Mommy on the phone.  I was happy to hear her voice.  When she asked if I was having fun, I said, "No.  Not this morning."  She decided it must be because Daddy wouldn't buy me an Agent P toy.
• When we got back to camp, I got to play with sprinklers and water. Daddy set up a long sheet of plastic and covered it with soap. Then he put sprinklers around it. It was so much fun to slide on. I didn't even get into my bathing suit before I started playing. Then, I got to get into the swimming pool. It was cold so I didn't stay long. Instead, I kept retrieving the beach balls that got out of the pool and I threw them back.
• I somehow ended up with another rainbow popsicle without daddy's help. I think it's my cute looks.
• At campfire, I was playing with daddy's phone and I opened up the calendar. I stared at it a minute and then asked him what "two" was. He told me that it was today's date. He seemed surprised that I asked him. Then I took a picture of the campfire. We left campfire early because I was sleepy. I feel asleep really quickly after daddy put me to bed. Camp is exhausting. 
• Luckily I get to go home tomorrow to see Mommy.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• I woke up this morning before 7:00am coughing a little bit. Daddy put a blanket on me and I fell back asleep. When I woke up again, daddy wasn't in the cabin so I played with the other little girls staying with us.
• For breakfast, I fed myself a bowl of cereal again. I ate Honey Nut Chex. Daddy figured it was okay since Tommy fed some to me yesterday and I didn't have any problems.
• I spent most of the day playing with the other little children. I like to call them "little girl" or "little boy." Names are overrated (except for mine, I tell everybody "I Alyson.")
• This afternoon, we had a water gun and water balloon fight. It was so much fun. I got to throw water balloons and daddy gave me a water squirter to use. Then, there was a carnival this evening. I got to play lots of games and daddy put up the bouncy house.
• I found out how to get ice cream from the camp store by myself. Daddy was surprised to see me carrying a rainbow pop without him getting it for me. This could be dangerous.
• Daddy found a grasshopper and pointed it out to me.  I was very interested and got close to it until it hopped.  I ran away since it scared me.  
• I built a sand castle during vespers tonight. But, as soon as daddy picked my up and held me, I fell asleep. I didn't nap today, and with all of my running around, I was very tired.
