30 Months...Big girl bed and pre-school, what's next?

This has been such a fun month of growing up! I have become very opinionated about things. I love to say, "I no like this!" and when mommy asks for a hug or kiss, I like to just smile and say, "No thank you!" I also learned about the "Why?" question and like to test it out a lot. I love to play tag and hide and seek, so I can say, "You startled me" and "Boo!" Mommy thinks it is funny that I sometimes call spider webs "web spiders". I also discovered my favorite color: "oranshes!" (orange)
I threw a HUGE temper tantrum at the library, including spitting and taking off my shoes and throwing them at mommy. I just had to let off some steam. I felt much better after that. As challenging as I can be, I can also be very sweet. Most of the time, I pick up my toys without being asked to. I am very concerned about any mess I make, and like to help clean up. I even tried to clean up the bubble solution at The Little Gym!
I finished my last classes at Tumble Bees and The Little Gym. They were a lot of fun. I hope I can do that again next summer. Mommy took me to her work a couple of times, and I had so much fun there that I didn't want to leave.
I was sick a little bit this month too. I had a fever for a week, and about two weeks later, I had diarrhea and threw up all over the place. That was a bummer, but I was such a trooper and didn't act really sick at all.
We visited lots of people too this month. I got to see two of Mommy's friends and their therapy dogs: Rachel and Kramer, and Jill and Crosley. I talked about them for a long time. Aunt Michelle came for a visit, and she read me LOTS of books! Mommy took me to her hometown again, and I got to see lots of family. I played in the pool with Alex and Chase at Nana Carol and Papa Ron's. We went to Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom's too. I had a lot of fun seeing my great-grandparents. Then, we went to see Heather, Sean, Ashley, and Baby Ian. They are a lot of fun! Grandma Kathy also came for a visit and stayed with us for a night. We all went to visit my pre-school and to see Miss Annie and Mr. Kenny.
I have been waiting all summer to move into a new room and get my big girl bed/furniture. It finally came in, right before I went to pre-school. I slept in it for a nap that day and loved it! I told Mommy that I didn't want to sleep in my crib anymore. Mommy and Daddy have a rule that I have to lay or sit down on my big girl bed, and I have to ask to get out of bed. I added a new rule: go on the potty chair before sleeping in it. I came up with that all by myself!
Daddy went back to work a couple weeks ago, and when Mommy went to work today, I got to go to "pee-schoo" (pre-school!) I was really excited to play and read books. I gave mommy a hug and kiss and smile when she left and I was on my way. I had a great day playing with my old friend Trey-Bug. It took me a while to nap, but I finally fell asleep. I can't wait for tomorrow!
