Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• I played with Daddy and the doggies and ate breakfast.  Mommy slept in.
• I played with my balloon and ball, rode my scooter, played in my tunnel and tent while Mommy ate breakfast and relaxed a bit.
• I helped Daddy with dishes and laundry.
• Mommy cooked us noodles and grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch... delicious!  I also drank juice out of a big girl cup with a straw.  I'm getting to be really good at the big girl cups.
• After lunch, it was nap time.  I took a nice, long nap then was ready to go.
• Daddy took Mommy and I to War Memorial Park to play on all of the playgrounds.  I also got to see where my birthday party will be in a few weeks.  I met a new friend or two and tried out all of the slides and merry-go-rounds.  I also climbed everything that I could.  I'm such a daredevil.  Mommy and Daddy walked me over to the creek and even let me get in and walk around.  Daddy kept turning over rocks like he was looking for something, so I turned some over too.  I was more interested in chasing the leaves that were floating with the current.  I was very excited when I caught a few of them.  Daddy saw some critters under the rocks, but wasn't able to catch them.  It was fun and my bottom got wet.  
• Once back at home, I drew "my first name" on the sidewalk with chalk and even said, "M, N, O" while writing it.  I also put on my sunglasses (upside down like always) so Mommy had to snap a few pics of me since I was so cute!
• I spent some of the evening next to Mommy on the couch.  I wanted to watch videos about Pluto the dog so Mommy let me watch them on the computer next to her while she was on her computer.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• I woke up and relaxed in bed with Mommy while Daddy walked the dogs.
• I ate waffles for breakfast... YUM!
• I wore a beautiful black and white dress with a red ribbon on it to church this morning.  I felt like a princes.  Mommy and Daddy told me I looked beautiful.  
• I picked up leaves and a flower to take to Sierra at church and was disappointed to find out that Sierra was at camp instead of at church with me.  I played with the ball and jumping frog before the service started, then was a very big girl and stayed quiet with Mommy and Daddy until church was over.
• While walking home, I found a very cool rock.  Mommy said it looked like a "space rock" but Daddy kinda rolled his eyes at her.  I thought it was cool, even though it didn't taste good.  Mommy told me not to put it in my mouth, so I told her "I was just licking it." 
• At McDonald's for lunch, a nice lady working there was worried that I didn't get a toy, so she gave me one.  It is a floating Ronald McDonald and she says it will float in the bath tub.  Even though I had just had a bath a couple hours earlier, I told Mommy I needed another one.
• After my nap, I played with my scooter, bus, balloon, and iPad.  I even got to run in the sprinkler in the back yard.
• After a yummy dinner of chicken, shells and cheese, broccoli and corn, I played with my tent and tunnel in the living room.  
• Mommy and I spent some time on the front porch watching the storm.  I liked the lightning, but wasn't a huge fan of the thunder.  I was very clingy to Mommy whenever I heard the thunder.  I kept touching the parts of the porch that were wet with my hands and feet and leaving footprints and handprints on the dry sections of the porch.  I also sang and danced on the porch.  Mommy and I relaxed and cuddled under the blanket for quite a while as it poured the rain.  
• Once back inside, I kept throwing Littles's toy into my tent and tunnel to get her and Indy to play inside with me.  Mommy was laughing.  I did have a meltdown when I couldn't get my tent to stay upside down like a "dig pit."  Finally, I figured out that if I was in it, it would stay like that and not fall over.
• I helped Daddy hang up a few pictures.  I helped him with the measuring tape.  He even hung up some of my art work.  I was super excited!

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.
