Thank You Notes

Thank you, Toys R Us, for having a great new chair that fits Myla perfectly so she can sit at the table with us like a big girl!!
Thank you, straw sippy cup, for holding Myla's drink and not leaking.  (Today was her first day of drinking from a big girl cup.)
Thank you, Mr. Sun, for shining so brightly today so we could go to the new park and play outside.

Terrific Tuesday

Today was just terrific!! We went to Granny's house this morning and Myla got to do one of her favorite things...stand at the front door and watch outside!! We had a really good visit with everyone. Lunch was good and I even got to watch Netflix for a while. Then this afternoon daddy and I went to Chuck E. Cheese while Myla napped. We had more fun there, too!! I played skee ball with daddy, rode the horse several times and played in the club house. When we finished there, it was time to come home for dinner. I told mommy about the fun I'd had with daddy and then got ready for another adventure. Me and Myla and daddy got to go visit with Grandpa Joe and Grammy while mommy had her Tuesday night meeting. It was fun to tell them about swimming and cheerleading and to ride on the rocking horse they have. Me and Grandpa Joe had some pretzels and watched a little television together. It was great! Once we were home I got to catch up with Aunt Sara. I was telling her an idea I had and I think she really liked it. I told her that tomorrow after work she should bring Evan and Levi and Uncle Lawrence to my house and we can all stay all night together! Levi and Evan can sleep in my bed with me, Myla can sleep in her bed and Aunt Sara and Uncle Lawrence can sleep on the couch (or they can just sleep in mommy and daddy's room). I thought it sounded like a great idea!! I am hoping that the grown ups actually listened and we'll try it tomorrow night! It was a great, great day and I am ready to see what tomorrow brings!!!

Who Doesn't Like Mondays?

Some people get to eat the hot fudge sundae from McDonald's...some people just get to chew on the lid.

In other news...Myla is standing by herself most of the time and she is just so close to walking across the room!!!  I got to go see a movie today with mommy and grandma and it was a really fun time.  Since it was during the day on a Monday there was nobody else there and I had a blast!  

This week has started off so great!  Yesterday we went to church and then me and Myla spent the whole afternoon and evening with Grandma Donna and Grandpa Dave.  We played and played, me and Grandpa Dave went on an adventure to took us to the hospital gift shop, the park and to rescue a kidnapped princess!  It was such great fun!!

Today I had school, our movie and then a night filled with playing!  I know tomorrow we go to gran's house and I think overheard that I might get to go to Chuck E. Cheese before heading over to visit Grandpa Joe and Grammy!!!

What An Awesome Saturday!

Today has got to be one of my favorite days of March so far!!!  You won't believe all we did!  First of all, me and mommy got up really early (well it seemed really early to me) and got ready.  Grandma picked us up and we headed to Middletown to get Levi, Uncle Lawrence and Aunt Sara!  We drove to some place called Hamilton Commons to a HUGE theater to watch The Lorax!  It was the first time Levi had ever gone to a movie and we had a blast!  We had popcorn, Swedish Fish and drinks and we watched a great movie!
While we were gone, daddy and Myla got to hang out for a while.  Myla got to go to the student center with daddy and I am pretty sure that is the first time she'd ever been there.  Then she got to go see Grandpa Si, Grandma Haz and Grandma Donna.  She loved the deer heads on the wall (that is one of my favorite things, too) and she was quite a little entertainer!  Grandma Donna brought her home when it was getting close to nap time.
What did daddy do?  Well he went to church and refereed lots of basketball games for Upward.  He was there most of the day.
After the movie it was time for lunch.  We headed to Red Robin for some good food and some plotting.  I say plotting because me and Levi got it all worked out that he could come to my house for a while.  We made our parents offers they couldn't resist so after lunch we all headed to Muncie to play!!!
Myla and Grandma Donna were home and so Grandma Donna got to see Levi.  It had  been a long time since she'd seen him and he has really gotten tall!  We played, the grown ups talked and it was a great afternoon.
Nap time was inevitable and everybody had to leave.  Me and Myla both slept for about 2 hours and when we got up daddy was home....and Uncle Patrick was here, too!!!  We had a great night.  Me and Patrick played lots.  We watched, "The Voice," on television, we played hide and seek, I showed him all my dress up outfits, I put on a concert!  We ate spaghetti and played some with Myla.
I got a quick bath, Myla got a quick bath and then we all settled down to watch, "WipeOut."  Well, Myla went to bed but I got to stay up with the adults and watch television before I had to go to bed.  Oh man, it was a great day!  I finally went to bed about 9pm and the adults were still going strong.  I only got up once to see that daddy and Patrick were playing a game on the Wii and mommy was getting ready for her lesson tomorrow night in Kidz Zone.  I thought about putting up a fight to stay up longer, but then I decided that I'd better go ahead and get some rest because tomorrow is bound to be another great day!

And We're All Better

Thank goodness we are all well in my house now!!  Today was the perfect day for all of us to feel good!  Mommy and daddy both went to have dentist appointments and Doctor Grasso said they have great teeth, I had a really great day at school and Myla slept through the night and hasn't cried about her ears at all today!!!  Add in the little details that it was 70 degrees today, Aunt Debbie delivered a beautiful dress up clothes closet that she made for me and Myla AND we got to go to the park and to the Silly Safari at my preschool and you get A PERFECT DAY!!!
First I will tell you about our new closet!  Aunt Debbie made it so we could hang up all our princess dresses and have a place to put princess shoes, crowns, etc.  Then after she built the closet she painted all the Disney princesses on it!!  She added some jewels to it and made it just beautiful!!!  I love it and I have spent a lot of the afternoon looking at it!
Tonight me and Myla got to go to the silly safari at school.  Myla stayed with daddy in the big people seats, but I got to sit close and see all kinds of animals!!  Snakes, skunks, owls, a crocodile, cockroaches, a frog and much  more!  Then at the end I actually got to touch the crocodile!!!  Mommy can hardly believe I enjoyed seeing all those creatures, but I really did!  It was great fun!!  I've got a few pictures to share with you and I'll end by saying...HAPPY LEAP DAY!!

Catch Up, Not Ketchup

It has been a couple of wacky weeks in our house.  We've battled (and are still battling) ear infections, the flu, not sleeping, horrible sounding coughs and lots more!  We're looking forward to some time to regroup and catch up on what we've missed.  However, through all the bad wacky there has been some good wacky, too!!  We all still find lots of reasons to smile!
