Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I got to wear my new blue shoes to Ms. Cheri's today. I was so excited to show them to her.
• I took my backpack instead of my big duffle bag.
• Mommy and I sang most of the way there (and I pointed out the school buses).
• I was so excited to see the construction site and the equipment digging. It was cool!
• Keegan was leaving when Mommy came to pick me up and I waved at Payton as we were backing out of the driveway.
• Once at home, I hid behind the screen door so Mommy had to find me. Then, Daddy had cooked fettuccine alfredo for dinner... yum! yum! I ate lots... then ate gummy snacks.... then a juice popsicle.
• I decided to put my hair clips into the top of my cup to make them stand up... I thought I was so cool.  Mommy took a picture then I took one too (the closer picture). 
• I helped with laundry and put together my Thomas the train puzzle, but was sad to find out I am missing a piece. I hope we can find it. I also found my Minnie Mouse doll, but not all of her clothes. Mommy says I have too many toys and we have to start putting some in the attic. I'm not sure I'm happy with that plan.
• At bedtime, I got very silly trying to do flips (putting my head down and my hands on the floor and moving my feet over a couple of feet) and saying random things while jumping up and down. 
• I told Mommy "I'm hot" and turned on the fan on the floor.  I love my fan, even when it isn't hot. 
• I pointed out a boo-boo on my foot, especially my toe.  I told Mommy that Gemma got me.  When Mommy asked if I was hugging Gemma too tight when she did that, I said yes.
• I was super excited to look out my bedroom window and see the moon (the past few nights it has been hiding at bedtime).  Mommy explained that it was a gibbous moon, whatever that means.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I woke up close to 8:00 this morning.  It was nice to sleep in a little.
• Mommy fixed me waffles and dip and we watched some Phineas and Ferb until Daddy and Grandma woke up. 
• I gave Grandma a big hug and kiss before she left to go home, even gave her a kiss to give to Grandpa.
• I wore my cute purple skirt/pants to church with my owl shirt.  I was so cute.
• I carried my backpack with everything I needed.  Mommy told me I was getting big enough to carry my things.
• After church, we grabbed a quick bite at Taco Bell for lunch.  I love their cheese roll-ups and cinnamon twists.  I even dipped my cheese roll-up in the mild sauce.  It was so good!
• We stopped to buy Daddy a few things for his play and I ended up getting two new pairs of shoes.  The look like Toms.  I got one pair that is blue and one that is pink and sparkly. 
• Daddy had play practice this afternoon, so Mommy and I took a nap.  I drew my first triangle and was so excited to show Mommy, "Look Mommy, I drew a triangle!"  She was so excited that she gave me a high five.  I decided to give that paper to Carol when she came over, so Mommy took a picture of my triangle. 
• Carol came over and we went for a walk around the neighborhood and then came home to work on laundry and dishes.  I was such a good helper.
• Mommy and I went out to the backyard to play and blow bubbles.  I found a couple of dandelions, even one or two that I could blow.  We drew on the sidewalk and I even colored in a triangle that Mommy had drawn.  I am getting much better at coloring inside the lines.  We found other purple flowers in the yard.   I found a cleaning brush and called it my "rescue eraser" 'and used it to clean my slide, the grass, and I used it when we spilled some of my bubbles on the sidewalk. 
• When we came back inside, I ate a juice popsicle that Daddy had made me.  It was so yummy!  I loved it!

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I woke up before 7:00 this morning but I let Mommy and Daddy stay in bed for a little longer before they had to take me downstairs.
• Once everyone was awake, we went to Bob Evans for breakfast. I ate yummy pancakes and drank my milk out of a "roller coaster straw."
• I didn't get to see Mommy or Grandma too much today.  They had to go out of town for a wedding.  Before leaving for the wedding, Grandma gave me a few things that she and Grandpa bought for me during their trip.  I loved them all! 
• Daddy and I spent the day together.  We went to the APO banquet for Shepherd, went to the park in Hagerstown, ate at McDonalds and played in the play area there, and took a bath.  It was a great day!
• I even got to spend a few hours with Ms. Sierra.  I was so exhasted from such a busy day that I fell asleep before Daddy could pick me up.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I was so excited to wear my monkey shirt today.  I was also excited that it was Donut Friday... YUM! YUM!
•  It was just Keegan and I at Ms. Cheri's house.  We had so much fun playing today.
• We stopped at Dominoes on the way home to pick up dinner.  I said, "Hi.  I Alyson" to the guy working behind the counter since he said "Hi" to us.  The pizza was delicious!
• I helped Mommy sweep the floor, do laundry, and help with dishes.  I am such a good helper!
• I asked Mommy for a band-aid and initially put it half on my hand and half on Mommy's hand then said "I did a magic trick!"  After, taking it off of our hands, I put it on my baby doll's foot.  She had a boo-boo.  Her boo-boo felt better after I put the band-aid on it. 
• I was so excited that Grandma came to visit.  I gave her a big hug and said, "I missed you."  I do miss Grandpa and wish he was here visiting too. 
• After getting to stay up late to see Grandma when she got here, I fell asleep pretty quickly once in bed.  Before falling asleep, Mommy and I read The Gingerbread Man.  I loved it.  I was too funny.

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I wanted to sleep in but Daddy wouldn't let me.
• I was worried about my shoe when we were getting out of the car at Ms. Cheri's because the pink trim is starting to come off.  Ms. Cheri told Mommy it concerned me while I was at her house too.
• Mommy was a little later picking me up this afternoon because she was getting her hair cut.  When she got there I told her, "I was very worried about you." 
• After a quick bite of dinner, I got to go visit Ms. Sierra at her house while Daddy had play practice and Mommy was finishing writing a paper.  We played, wrote on the driveway with chalk, and watch a little television.  I had so much fun!
• As soon as I got home, I crashed since I was so tired.
• Mommy must have been tired too since she forgot to post my blog (only the first time in nearly 17 months that Mommy forgot to post it before going to bed.... she is disappointed in herself).

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I wore my cute white shirt with multicolored turtles, a flower, and a rainbow on it.  I was so excited about wearing it. 
• I had fun at Ms. Cheri's today and was enjoying the warm sunshine on the porch when Mommy picked me up. 
• In the car on the way home this afternoon, I quietly said, "I'm sad."  When Mommy said, "What honey?" I said, "I'm sad.  I wannna cry."  When Mommy asked why, I said, "I want to drive in my own car."  She told me "You have to be 16 to drive your own car."  I said, "I don't have enough money" (very seriously).  She then told me, "You have to be 16 years old to drive your own car, you are only 2 1/2 years old.  You aren't old enough."  I told her "I don't have enough cents."  I was so serious, but Mommy thought I was being cute and funny.
• Once at home, I immediately ran to the flowers and picked more dandelions.  It's a good thing we have a good supply since I pick a few every day to bring inside the house.
• While Mommy had her online class, Daddy and I ate dinner and played in the back yard for a while this evening before going to church.  I got to play downstairs.  It was fun!
• I was very cranky at bed time and fought going to sleep.  Mommy was not amused.  Daddy finally calmed me down enough to go to sleep. 
• Daddy forgot to take pictures of me during play time, so Mommy just added a picture to show you all of my art work that is covering one door of the refrigerator.  I love to hang my work there (Cameron tries to knock it down).

Alyson's Most Memorable Events of the Day:

• I was surprised to go to Ms. Sierra's this morning instead of Ms. Cheri's.   
• Ms. Sierra took me to color on the driveway and let me ride my scooter.  Mommy was surprised to see all of the drawings and writing when she pulled into the driveway to pick me up.
• When we got home, I picked a few more dandelions to take to Mommy and Daddy.  I put them in my shirt pocket. 
• While dinner was in the oven, we played outside with my bubble wand and sidewalk chalk.  I had so much fun!  I even helped Daddy weed the flower bed out in front of the house.  I was a big helper!
• After dinner, I relaxed with Mommy for a few minutes and watched a little television.  I also built a "hand crane" with the help of Mommy.  It was a string tied to a headband held up by a fork.  I used it to pick things up and move them around the room.  I thought I was hot stuff.  Mommy called me her little inventor.
• I emptied my money bank and put more money in after sorting it first.
• Mommy and I read my small shapes book before bed.  There were only two shapes I needed to be reminded of what they were.  I wanted to read it again one more time before bed and when Mommy pointed to a circle and asked me what shape it was, I said, "Oval!" and laughed hysterically.   I did this over and over again until I finally said circle, then when we turned to the page with the triangle, I said, "Rectangle!" and laughed and laughed.  I have such an odd sense of humor.  Mommy thought this showed great intelligence for me to find humor in intentionally messing up the name of the shape.
