Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• Fun day at school.  Drew and colored yet another horse.  Mommy and I really need to start "sewing" all of the dress "orders" I have been getting from my friends.  (Note from Mommy:  Alyson came home yesterday with a list of names of most if not all of her classmates that had "ordered" a dress to be made for their horses.  These dresses obviously are available in all colors and lengths and I'm not sure how we are going to "sew" them.)
• We went on our monthly library field trip today.  It was great!  I always love going there since we get to read a book and watch a video (and get out of the building!).
• Mommy picked me up and took me to Chick-fil-A for dinner.  I even got an ice cream sundae!  YUM!
• In the car, Mommy would spell a word aloud and I had to tell her word it was.  I did great with mom, mommy, dad, daddy, dog, cat, no, yes, go, Alyson, love, you, and a few others, but then Mommy really started adding some challenges.  I love learning and "showing off" what I already know.  I am sometimes so proud of myself.
• Mommy and Daddy had a meeting at Shepherd tonight, so I spent some time with Ms. Kelly and her family.  We worked on my reading/spelling and I got frustrated once.  Mommy usually gives me "hints" if I get stuck, but Emily wouldn't do that so I got upset and cried for Mommy.
• I had a meltdown once I got home since I was so tired!  I guess I stayed up too late tonight.  At least tomorrow is Friday!  Woohoo!

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• Another fun day at school, but was disappointed it wasn't warmer outside.  Isn't it spring?
• This week we are practicing our addresses as well as matching upper and lower case letters and doing some math which I love!  Ms. Jess even fixed my hair today.  I loved it and so did Mommy!
• Daddy picked me up from school and I helped him pick up some sticks in the yard while Mommy worked a little extra.  When she got home, we were at church.  Daddy was at his meeting and I played with Tori and had a great time!
• Mommy and I cuddled after my shower, I watered my plants (many of which are sprouting), then Mommy and I did a page of one of my hidden picture books before bed.
• I had Mommy give seven of my stuffed animals hugs, kisses, and ugga-muggas to say good night.

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• Great day of school... back to the "official" Pre-K routine.  We even worked on searching for names today.  I was really good at finding each letter and marking it. 
• When I got home, I found a package waiting for me.  I was so excited to open it and find a super cute pink dress and beach shirt from cousin Sherry!  I love it!
• I couldn't wait to share a surprise with Mommy when she got home.  I grabbed a foil wrapped package and told her "I made you brownies at school today."  She was excited until she opened it and saw they were brown letter Es.  She laughed and I did too.  I was so proud of myself for being funny.  Later in the evening I recorded myself sharing my "brownies" with Grandma and Grandpa.
• Lucy came over and stayed for a couple of hours.  We played with my toys, with my train, with Sphero, and I even painted Lucy's nails.  It was so much fun!  I sure am going to miss her when she moves.  :(

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• Early morning!  So tired!  We all were tired, especially after I had a bad dream at 4am and came to sleep with Mommy and Daddy.
• Had a great day at school and was happy to play with my friends.
• I was thrilled when Mommy picked me up and took it upon myself to invite myself to Lucy's house to play.  Mommy decided to have Lucy come to our house tomorrow instead.  I can't wait for tomorrow now!
• Called Grandpa to wish him a Happy Birthday and was super wild and crazy on the phone.  I kept singing, told him "he looked like a monkey..." and hardly stopped talking long enough for Mommy to say anything or hear Grandma and Grandpa.  I told Mommy and Grandma and Grandpa that I wouldn't want to go on a cruise since I wouldn't be able to go to church or play with friends for a long time.  I also wouldn't want to leave my animals.  I put in another request for a gift... a blue dress with a sparkly white diamond sea horse at the top of the neck of the dress.  I also want black tights to go with it.  (Mommy told Grandma good luck at trying to find it).

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• Slept in a bit today then moved to Mommy's bed to cuddle and rest a bit more.
• We woke up, ate breakfast, and got dressed for church.  I told Mommy that she picked out a cute outfit and said thank you to her.  It was black leggings and a black shirt with a pink, gold, and black Hello Kitty skirt.  It was super cute!
• At church, I played with Tori.  It was fun!  She even asked if I could come to her house to play some more later this afternoon.
• We ate lunch then came home and I fell asleep on the couch and Cameron cuddled with me. 
• After a nap, I spent a couple of hours with Tori and her family.  We had so much fun playing together!  We made a craft together with Wasabi tape and ate popcorn.  We even got to pet the neighbor's cat.  It liked me and Mr. Tom, but not Tori.
• Back at home, Mommy and I watched the movie Home again while I ate some pasta for dinner. 
• Cameron cuddled with me some more and I didn't mind at all.
• Back to a normal schedule (early mornings) tomorrow... Ugh!  It might be a little rough to get back in the swing of things.

Afternoon nap with my "guard cat"

Evening cuddle time

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• Daddy woke me up way too early this morning... especially for a Saturday, my "sleep in day."
• I got dressed, ate some muffins, then fell back asleep on the couch until it was time to leave.
• Mommy and Daddy took me to Ms. Kelly's house to spend the day while they went to their APO conference.  I was there the entire day and I missed them, but I had lots of fun with Ms. Kelly, Mr. Calvin, Amber, Emily, and I even got to see Sierra for a bit which made me very happy too.  I colored outside with chalk until the weather started getting bad.  We went shopping and even got a set of golf clubs so I could "be like Daddy."  I was super excited!  Fox had to go with me everywhere today!  When Mommy and Daddy picked me up, I was sound asleep on the couch with my fox right beside of me. 
• Mommy and Daddy are super thankful for having such a great family to spend time with me on days like today.  They are also thankful for pictures while they are away.  :)

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• Had lots of fun at school today.  I even got to play outside (and inside) with my friend Lucy!
• Mommy and Daddy both picked me up from school today.  I was so excited!
• Daddy dropped Mommy and I off at the playground while he went to the store and came home to start cooking dinner.  While we were at the playground, I made a few friends and we played tag, chasing one another over and over again.  Mommy was super proud of me that I made friends and played with a girl that was a little different than me.  She was a little slower to move and acted a little younger than she looked, but I didn't even notice.  I had so much fun climbing, running, sliding, and going crazy until I bumped my shin on the steps while running.  It hurt so bad and immediately started to bruise.  We began walking home at that point, but walked through another playground on the way and I miraculously felt better.  It was a nice walk, I even found a few flowers for me, Mommy, and Daddy.
• I came home and immediately went out back to play some more.  My neighbor friends were outside too, so we played together.
• It was a great evening, playing with my pets, helping Mommy get ready for the conference tomorrow and even getting to eat ice cream.  Mommy even helped me put on a couple of temporary Frozen tattoos.
• During the evening, I told Mommy, "I think God made kittens" and "I think God made tattoos."  She thought it was so cute!
