Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• I whined and whined and whined when Daddy woke me this morning.  I was super tired!
• The sunrise was so beautiful this morning.  "God painted it for us" with such amazing colors of bright pink and purple and blue.  Mommy said something about sailors and warnings or something.
• I took my big girl Dora cup to Ms. Cheri's this morning with my milk.  It didn't have a lid, so I really had to be careful like a big girl.  
• I had fun today and was outside trying to hide from the stink bugs when Mommy picked me up from Ms. Cheri's.  
• Mommy took me to her school for a little while to finish up one project, so I got to color with her fun pens and markers.  I even got some yellow highlighter on my face, arm, and pants.  I felt like a big girl using Mommy's big girl pens.
• I ate a Twizzler in Mommy's office, then visited Ms. Marjy and got a Tootsie Roll from her to eat.  
• Mommy and I picked up dinner on the way home.  I chose Arby's and told Mommy, "Arby's is my favorite."  "I want Army's sauce" (instead of Arby's sauce).
• Mommy and I spent the evening relaxing.  I played a little with my new matching cards from my birthday card and my barrel of monkeys.  The rest of the time, I watched a few video clips from YouTube and cuddled with Mommy.
• It has been a long week and we just needed to relax.  It was nice!
• When Daddy got home from his Men's club meeting at church, he had tomatoes for me from the Storys.  I love tomatoes!  I had to eat one right away, right before bed.  It was delicious!

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• Mommy and I both slept in a little this morning.  It was nice to sleep in, even for a few minutes.
• I got to wear my cute new brown boots that Grandma bought for me.  Ms. Cheri thought that I looked super cute in my outfit, especially with my new boots.
• I took my new princess book and CD player.  I call it my "ABCD player" which Mommy thinks is very cute.  I like playing the princess music with the "CDs."
• I had fun playing today, but was glad to get home at the end of the day.
• I played some of my princess "CDs" for Mommy while she was driving and liked when Mommy was whistling with the music. 
• I found "mail" on the porch and was happy to bring it in for Mommy.
• As soon as we got in the house, I said hello to Daddy, then wanted to play with my barrel of monkeys. I had fun playing with Mommy and Daddy and I'm actually pretty good at this game.
• We went to Buffalo Wild Wings for our weekly trivia game with Gina and Brittny.  It was a lot of fun.  Mommy and Daddy thought I was a big enough girl to turn in the answer sheets.  The people working the game thought I was so cute and such a big helper.  The manager even offered me a job to work there any time I wanted.  Since I was a big girl, I got to play the car game and also the game that you bring to the table.  It was fun!
• At home, it was time for bed.  We were all super tired and have to wake up a little earlier tomorrow.
• The past few nights, I mentioned to Mommy at bed time that I didn't like the "lie detector" and kept pointing to my bedroom ceiling.  It took a few minutes for her to realize that I was talking about my smoke detector that occasionally flashes a light.  She explained that it is important and keeps me safe in  my room.  I guess I'll just have to get used to it.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• All of us were so tired this morning.  Mommy slept in a little later than normal and I did too.  I laid on the couch under the blanket while Mommy got ready.  
• It was a fun day at Ms. Cheri's.  Keegan and Payton were there and so was a new kid.  When Mommy picked me up, three of us were playing with the rocks.  I kept finding shiny ones.  I also showed Ms. Cheri a rock that I picked up a while back and have been keeping in Mommy's car.  I decided to leave it with her for the evening.  Keegan and I showed Mommy a caterpillar we had been watching.  For some reason Mommy was asking if it had any black on it or if it was just brown.  I wonder why that is important.
• I got to join "the girls" for dinner at Habanero.  Mommy, Brittny, Gina, Pam, Kim, and I ate before all of them had to go back to work for parent conferences.  I ate a quesadilla and chips and drank a juice box.  It was delicious!  The juice was very sweet and yummy.
• In the car, I sang "Old McDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.  And on that farm he had a dog and Bingo was his name-o, B-I-N-G-Bo, B-I-N-G-Bo, B-I-N-G-Bo and Bingo was his name-Bo!"  Gina thought it was super cute how I kept mashing songs since I sang another song as well that was a combination of original songs.
• I spent most of the evening with Sierra and her family.  Ms. Kelly made cupcakes and was nice enough to give me one to bring home.  Mommy let me eat a little of it before bed, the rest I have to save for tomorrow.  
• I asked to "draw shapes" (Paint) on Mommy's computer.  I know that if I click on the key "with the squares" (Windows button) that I can then click on the paint brush to "draw shapes."  I drew an orange star then wanted to send it to Grandma.... then a split second later said, "Don't send it to Grandma, Grandpa, or my friends."
• At bedtime, Mommy read me a book and we looked out the window and saw the moon from my bed.  I was so excited!  I was exhausted so I went to sleep without much of a fight.  

September 22, 2013- My Birthday Party!

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day: 

• Woke up ready for my party this morning.  I had a hard time understanding that I had to go to church first.
• After church, Daddy brought me to War Memorial Park and I found Mommy, Grandma, and Grandpa decorating the pavilion for my party.  I was so excited to see all of the colors, the Perry/Agent P balloons, star balloons, and other decorations.  I was also happy that we set up the bouncy house for my friends and I to play in.
• Peyton, Keegan, and Gabriel were there and we spent a lot of time in the bouncy house and even played a game where we had to find little containers with Phineas and Ferb stickers and candy in them.  It reminded me of an Easter egg hunt.  My friends and I got prizes for playing.
• We ate pizza, Perry the Platypus cupcakes, chips, and drinks... I drank a little bit of my Perry juice and a little monster juice.  
• I blew out the candles all by myself and was very proud when I did it.  
• I got some very fun presents and had so much fun with my friends and family.  I'm so happy Aunt Marsha and Uncle Danny drove so far to see me too.
• I got to spend a lot of time at the playground (thanks to the Puffinburger girls and to Rebekah for chasing after me so I could run).
• I had a meltdown after the party was over and I was playing on the slide.  I didn't want anyone else to go on "my slide."  Mommy finally carried me back toward the car since I was in desperate need of a nap.
• Mommy and I both took a good nap once we were back home.  
• We had a relaxing evening, watching television, playing with my new Dora App (thanks Carol!) and playing with Mommy's computer.  
• I can't wait to tell Ms. Cheri all about my party when I see her tomorrow!

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day: 

 

• Woke up nice and early this morning, even though it was Saturday.  Luckily Daddy was already awake.  I was a little disappointed that he had just left to walk the dogs before I woke up.
• After breakfast and time with Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa woke up so I played with them.  I played with a few of my new toys, the baby swing and pack-n-play.  I love my new toys, but trying to climb in the pack-n-play was not such a great idea.  My babies, Mia and Miguel are much smaller and easier to get in the swing and pack-n-play.
• After Mommy woke up, we went to the Waffle House to eat brunch.  When we got there and sat in our booth, I noticed the man working there yelling an order at the people cooking, so I decided to yell my order, "I need a juice box" like he was yelling.  Someone did finally come to take our order.  I ate half a waffle, toast with jelly, hashbrowns with cheese and my juice box.
• After eating, we went back to the house and took a nap. 
• After some play time at the house, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch part of the WVU football game.  
• After coming home, I changed clothes and went to Mommy's school to visit the big kids at the Homecoming Dance.  I loved dancing and seeing their pretty dresses.  The kids loved dancing with me and giving me high fives.  I had a great time and was especially impressed with the balloon arch.
• Back at home, I watched an episode of Phineas and Ferb with Grandpa and read a book before bed.
