Alyson's Antics of the Day:

I said:

• "They have pineapples on them!" (when Mommy said, "You like pine trees, don't you?"  I always confuse pineapples and pinecones which is especially odd when I ask for pinecones on my pizza).

I did:

• A little cuddle time with Mommy was nice this morning, then it was time to get ready for church.  I took a shower instead of a bath then put on a beautiful dress.  My hair was too wet at the time for Mommy to braid it and I was upset.
• I played with my friends at church, and even got a glitter butterfly on my hand which I was super excited about until it started coming off and I couldn't fix it.
• We went to McDonalds for a quick lunch then headed home for a nap with Daddy.
• Mommy fixed some yummy pumpkin muffins and they were delicious.  I ate two, one when they first came out of the oven and another for dessert after dinner!  She says they are healthy, but I'm not so sure.
• Mommy and I made butterflies with play-doh and played hide-n-seek which always scares Indy. 
• I got to watch a little of my shows today and even got chocolate milk with dinner.  It was nice to be treated like a big girl again.  Maybe I need to try harder to be good at school so I can keep from being treated like a baby at home.

Alyson's Antics of the Day:


I said:

• "You're the best Mom I got."  (I tell Mommy this at least once a week, but it always brings such a smile to her face).
• "Can I take my scooter?" (to Mommy and Daddy when we got ready to take the puppies for a walk... I forgot it had been taken away for the weekend).
• "Can I see my blog?" (to Mommy asking her to show me what pictures have been posted recently).

I did:

• I slept in a bit then cuddled in bed with Mommy a little longer.
• I ate a few different breakfasts, waffles, cereal, and even wanted some of Mommy's English muffin after she woke up and started eating.
• We had a lazy day at home and only got dressed to go for a walk right as it got dark.  Other than that, we stayed in and ate, played, cleaned, and watched a little television (even though I only could watch what Mommy and Daddy wanted to watch... I wasn't allowed to watch my shows).
• It was a boring day and I really started wishing I would have been a better girl at school yesterday so we could have done some things that were a little more fun.
• I did have a little fun playing with a balloon, my swimmies (pretending to swim), playing in a box and a Rubbermaid tub, and helping Mommy cook.  I also took her order, explaining to Mommy what food we served, then yelled the order to "my waitresses and waiters."  I brought her an empty bucket with the mac and cheese she ordered.

Alyson's Antics of the Day:

I said:

• "I didn't have a good day at school today."
• "Look Mommy.  I have a zoo!" (kazoo)...  "Close your eyes and snore and I'll wake you up" (with the kazoo).

I did:

• Daddy got me dressed and ready for school.  I was happy to see Olive and my other friends.
• During our outside time, Olive and I dumped water on each other from cups.
• I got in trouble today, even got a frowny face for the first time this week (3 straight faces, 1 smiley, and 1 frowny for the week).  Mommy was upset to see the note from my teacher when she picked me up. 
• At home, I sat in time out and Mommy took my scooter to the attic for the weekend (or longer).  I also only got to watch a few minutes of television during my medicine right before bed.  I also didn't get to go anywhere fun, had no chocolate milk with dinner, and didn't get any treats.  It was a rough night.   Maybe Friday wasn't such a good day to get in trouble... I wonder if the punishments will last all weekend?
• Daddy and I built a fort in the living room, though I couldn't get anyone to get in it with me except Littles.  It was a boring night.

Alyson's Antics of the Day:


I said:

• "Guess what kind of girl I was at school today???  A good girl!!!"

I did:

• I was still half asleep when Mommy left home this morning to go to work... she reminded me how important it was to be a big girl at school today before leaving.
• Daddy took me to school and we played and even got to watch Clifford and Bob the Builder today in class.  Daddy looked in my log book when he picked me up and the teacher had written "Good day" (and a smiley).  He was so happy!  He and I called Mommy to tell her the great news!  She started squealing she was so excited! 
• Daddy bought me a few M&Ms to eat and I got a lot on my hands in the car. 
• Once Mommy got home, she gave me a big hug and told me how proud she was of me.  We relaxed a few minutes.
• We celebrating by going to Chick-fil-A for dinner, a little play time, and a milkshake.  It was great!
• Mommy and I went home, put on comfy clothes, and cuddled on the couch watching Shrek 2 while Daddy went to his rehearsal at the theater.  He was jealous that we got to stay home and cuddle.  I think Mommy even took a little nap during the movie, but I didn't mind.
• After medicine, reading a book, and a hug and kiss from Daddy who got home just in time, it was time for sleep.
• Hoping for another good day tomorrow.  I told everyone I would do my best.

Alyson's Antics of the Day:

I said:

• "But I want my scooter!" (when Mommy told me she was taking it away until I was good at school).
• "I will try my best to be good at school tomorrow" (again).

I did:

• This getting up early thing is getting old.  I was tired again.
• I wasn't good at school again today and got another straight face.  The teacher left a note for Mommy and Daddy to see.  I was in so much trouble!
• Once at home, I had time-out again.  Mommy also told me she was taking away my scooter until I was a good girl at school.  Daddy said tomorrow he would take away many more toys if I continued to be bad.   After long conversations with Mommy and Daddy about my behavior, about how to act at school and how my teachers must feel when I'm acting up, I told them I would do better.
• I helped Mommy fix dinner (I rolled the crescent rolls, put the parmesan cheese in the pasta sauce, and helped break the pasta).  She was proud and told me that this was how I should listen and act at school.
• After dinner, it was nearly bedtime since we got a late start this evening.  I did talk to Grandma and Grandpa on the phone first.
• I was so tired, I didn't even fight sleep.  My behavior at bedtime has improved drastically the past few days... Now I just have to work on my school behavior.

Alyson's Antics of the Day:


I said:

• "Arghh matey!  I spy a Mommy" (while looking through my paper towel roll "telescope").
• Me:  "I will try my hardest to be good tomorrow."  Mommy:  "That's what you have said the past two days.  Did you try your hardest to be good today?"  Me:  "No."  Mommy:  "What about yesterday?"  Me:  "No.  But I'll try my best tomorrow."

I did:

• Another exhausted morning.  I don't quite understand why Mommy can't take me to school, but she is leaving quite a bit earlier than Daddy and I have been.
• When Daddy picked me up from school, the teacher had written a note in my log book which he wasn't too happy about.  He took a picture of the note to show Mommy when she got home. 
• I was in time out as soon as I got home for not being a good girl at school today.  This is now two days in a row that I have straight faces instead of smileys and I think Mommy and Daddy are upset.  They told me the punishments will get worse each day until my behavior improves.  At least I didn't potty in my pants today.
• Once we got home, Daddy and I were working in the front and found a super cool bug.  Mommy said it had jumping legs when she saw it.  I thought it was very cool!  We cut a rose from the rose bush and I couldn't wait to show it to Mommy.  I also drew a spider on the porch with sidewalk chalk.
• I spent a little time talking to Grandma and Grandpa on the phone and telling them all about my new class and how I've not been such a good girl.  Mommy said when I come to see her this weekend that she will buy me new sticker earrings if I'm a good girl the next three days.  I told her I would try really hard.
• After dropping Daddy off at the theater for play practice, Mommy and I went to Panera for a yummy dinner.  We sat outside at a patio table with an umbrella and watch the cool clouds lit up by the sun.  It was beautiful!
• After a quick bite of dessert at home and a few minutes of The Goodnight Show, it was bedtime.

Alyson's Antics of the Day:

I said:

• "Other than that I was good... and that too.  Other than those things I was good." (talking about my first day in my new class at school)
• "I will try as hard as I can to be good." (talking about tomorrow at school)
• "That one's cute but I don't want that one...  I like that one, but want another one." (while helping Mommy pick out the picture for my birthday invitations.

I did:

• Daddy made me get up way too early!  He carried my downstairs and I fell right back asleep on the couch until he made me start getting ready for school.
• I got to go to my new class today in Ms. Amy's room.  I was very excited.  I didn't have such a great day though.  I peed my pants and had to wear a pair of shorts from the school since Daddy forgot my backpack at home.  Daddy also read in my notebook that I was talkative during quiet time and got a straight face instead of a smiley. 
• Mommy and Daddy seemed a little disappointed that I didn't do better and wasn't a big girl.
• We spent the evening at home cooking dinner, playing, and resting.  I did "silly things" and pretended to be a robot and danced around the living room.  I even put a sock on Mommy's hand and a marker box on Mommy's foot to make her silly too.  I also covered Gemma up with a blanket while she napped on the couch.
• I spent a little time talking to Daddy via the Voxer app (walkie-talkie app) that Mommy and Daddy have on their phone.  I like it!
• We are all hoping for a better day at school tomorrow.
