Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• Daddy woke me up early yet again.  I was tired this morning!
• I didn't want to stop watching Curious George to go to Ms. Cheri's house this morning.
• Ms. Cheri gave me a bag with Easter eggs, a bag of goldfish, and some candy.  Also, Courtney and her friend made cupcakes for us kids.  They even let us pick out the icing color and the sprinkles.  It was so nice of them the give us something special since we won't see them for a little while due to Mommy's Spring Break.
• Mommy took me home then left to go with Carol and some friends.
• Daddy cooked me dinner then took me to Ms. Sierra's house to play for a couple of hours while he had play practice.
• After I got back home, I was very hyper.  I climbed the back of the couch, even going behind the couch a few times, then decided to throw the ball around.  I have quite an arm and am starting to get better at catching the ball. 
• After medicine, it was time for bed... much later than my normal bedtime, but at least I get to sleep in a few minutes tomorrow.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I told Daddy, "I don't want to get out of bed" but he wouldn't listen. 
• I ate two helpings of chocolate chip muffins for breakfast, one with Daddy and one in the car on the way to Ms. Cheri's.
• In the car, I pointed out to Mommy, "The sky is beautiful!" then told her, "God painting it for us" since Mommy always tells me that when we have a pretty sunset.  So, we said a quick prayer thanking God for the beautiful sky.
• At Ms. Cheri's, I told her about the aquarium trip since I forgot to mention it yesterday.
• I stopped to smell flowers on the way into the house this afternoon.  Daffodils don't smell so good, but are very pretty.
• Once in the house, I made a "treehouse" of pillows and blankets and helped myself to a snack of graham crackers from my own lunch bag.  I also colored with Mommy and watched the Leapfrog Shapeville show while Mommy and Daddy were cooking dinner.  I was very excited about the show since I love the Leapfrog shows! 
• After dinner and more playing, I went to b-dubs with Mommy and Daddy and helped them play the trivia game, well, I played with Mommy's ipad and colored instead.  After they finished their game, I drove the car game with Daddy's help.  It was so much fun!
• I enjoyed cuddling with Mommy at bedtime and we read a few books.  Mommy had me count some of the things I saw in my books.  I counted perfectly from one to ten tonight and didn't forget 5 this time.  Mommy was thrilled!  I am even practicing holding up the number of fingers to match the number I am saying.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• Waking up was rough this morning since I had to get up at 6:30.  I had a restful breakfast cuddled up on the couch watching Curious George until it was time to get dressed and ready to go to Ms. Cheri's house.
• When Mommy picked me up, she took me to her school.  I was so excited.  I couldn't wait to get there and help give out candy to the big kids.  Whenever Mommy and Daddy have their WyldLife club, I always get to help with the raffle.  I love delivering the candy to the kids.  I even announced the type of candy with Daddy.
• On the way to the car, I had to run through the muddy ground and even got mud on the back of Daddy's seat of the car.  I even decided to take a couple of pictures of the dirty spot.  Mommy and Daddy didn't even see it until they were looking through the pictures later in the evening. 
• I once again played with my Easter eggs and even loaded some of them into the pocket of my rocking chair.  
• At bedtime, I sang "Rock a bye da baby, on the tree top.... rock a bye da baby..." to my turtle while rocking it on the ottoman beside my bed.  Mommy thought it was cute.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I once again slept until close to 8:00 this morning.  Daddy and Mommy are getting spoiled now that I'm starting to sleep in a little more.
• Daddy and I had breakfast and played with my tunnel, tent, and fort that we built out of blankets and pillows and bounced the ball back and forth.  It was very fun!  I also watched Bo on the Go and danced and jumped with the show.  I love to get up and move while watching it.
• I used the big girl potty and every heard a couple of drops hit the toilet for the first time today!  Mommy and Daddy are hopeful...
• I played with Mommy's plastic Easter eggs, even carried many of them around in my basket.
• We spent the morning and most of the afternoon at home instead of going to Ms. Cheri's house and instead of Mommy and Daddy going to work.  It was snowing outside, so I guess that is why we got to stay at home. 
• Mommy and I colored our Easter eggs using three different methods:  kool-aid, paas dyes, and shaving cream and food coloring.  It was fun to see how different each turned out.   I put a couple of stickers on each one, but didn't go overboard with the stickers like Mommy thought I might.  I did have a great time with them.  I think Mommy had fun too, especially with the shaving cream eggs.  When Mommy was putting food coloring in the cup, I told her, "Be very careful and don't spill it.  Be careful!" while pointing my finger at her.  She thought I was funny.
• I had fun playing at Chick-fil-a and shopping at Target with Mommy and Daddy. 
• Once back at home, I once again played with my Easter eggs, watched a little Curious George, and read my Curious George book before bed.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I stuck into Mommy and Daddy's room close to 7:00 and cuddled up in bed with them and fell back asleep until close to 8:00.  Daddy helped me get breakfast and then I took a bath.  It was fun!
• I wore my pretty navy blue dress with little daisies at the waist and a white sweater and white tights.  I looked soooo cute! 
• I played in the nursery at church...  I asked Mommy to draw with me so she taught me to draw a smiley face.  I drew one after Mommy, then drew a picture of a rope.  I played with Ms. Sierra and some of the other girls in the nursery until the service was over, then sang after church was over.  I love singing into the microphone. 
• We went to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch.  I ate several slices of lemons... YUM!  I love lemons.  I also ate nearly an entire bowl of macaroni and cheese.   I was super excited to see Brittny and Mark while we were there.  
• After my nap, I played and cuddled on the couch with Daddy for a bit.
• I ate an extra serving of corn with dinner, then ate my gummies and some cereal. 
• I visited with Grandma and Grandpa through Facetime.  It was nice to see them (and Lucy!)
• At bedtime, I kept pointing out my boo-boos and Mommy would put lotion on them.  At one point, I told Mommy, "I need to go to the doctor."  When she asked why, I told her, "I have a feeling something hurts.  I have something that hurts."  When she asked what hurts, I was holding my back and side, then quickly grabbed my arm and said, "my arm."  Once Mommy put a little lotion on it, it felt much better.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I woke up a little before 8:00 this morning.  Daddy and I went downstairs to play and eat.
• I came up to visit Mommy a few times before she finally decided to get out of bed.  We played and ate a little eggs and toast (the butter got all over my face!) and once Dave woke up, we decided to head to Baltimore for the day.
• I loved the Inner Harbor!  The boats were so cool.  I liked looking at all the different kinds of boats.
• At the aquarium, we got to see lots of different types of animals.  The first one we saw was a boa constrictor.  It was at the animal encounters area.  It was so neat.
• Then we saw so many different kinds of fish...  I kept saying, "Ooooh"  and "this is cool."   I   loved walking from one window to the next to see what else there was to see.  I also liked all of the escalators and revolving doors.  The sharks, dolphins, and sharks were my favorites, other than the jellyfish. 
• Toward the end of the tour, I wanted to keep moving ahead and there were too many people.  Mommy and Daddy and I had a difference in opinion about how quickly I should be moving and I got in trouble.  The next 15 minutes or so was rough with us having a few conversations about being a big girl and how important it was to stay close, and having to listen then me making bad decisions and having to have the talk again.  Once we got back to the stroller and my drink, I was in a much better mood.  Mommy said she thought it was a combination of being hot, tired, and needing a drink that made me extra cranky.
• We stopped at McDonalds on the way home.  It was yummy!
• Once at home, I rode my scooter, played with my medical bag, princess bag, and danced a little. 
• It was such a busy day!
