33 Months...Potty trained-scary, isn't it?

I really am potty trained! I just decided to do it one day. I have some awesome Dora big girl underwear and am almost done with all my marshmallow and sucker treats! I also had a lot of funny trick-or-treating as a pink poodle puppy. We had a fun party and parade at school and I kept wanted to march after everyone else was finished. We went to Miss Annie and Mr. Kenny's house first, and then on to Nana Arden and Papa Rodney's. I wasn't so sure about trick or treating at first, but after my first house in the neighborhood, I couldn't wait to go to the next house! I didn't get tired and hungry though, so it ended in a fit and biting daddy. Next year will be even better! I was so excited when I picked out my first piece of candy: "The M&M I picked out had an "E" on it!" I have learned to ride my tricyle very well in the house. I have been saying some really funny things too. I asked Daddy why there was a dead raccoon in the road and he said it is a wild animal that ran into the street and got it. A few minutes later, I said, "There's a sidewalk!" (for the raccoon to use, of course!) I have been singing the "American Family Insurance" jingle as well. I don't think Papa Ron would be too happy though. I have my first imaginary friend, "Jungle Pete!" I like to pretend he is with me a lot of times. I also said, "Gosh dangit!" really loud when I forgot to click a pen open. I drew on the wall at home with a dry erase marker-oops! When mommy picked me up at pre-school one day, I told her I wanted to stay outside and play instead of going inside with her like I usually do. I ran after her because I changed my mind, and held my breathe so long I passed out! Good thing mommy figured out I was coming because she caught me just in time. They thought I was over that! This past week was really, really busy. I went to a restaurant and hotel with mommy and daddy one night because mommy had a conference. The next day I was waiting in the lobby for mommy and was very nice to everyone, saying, "Hi! I'm waiting for my mommy!" Daddy brought me back home while mommy stayed for a few days. Daddy said I was really, really good for him! After mommy came back, she and daddy had to work one night so I got to stay with Nana Arden. Mommy had to work the next night too, but then we got to spend Friday together. Just like at preschool, mommy made popcorn for "Popcorn Friday". I ate it so fast, I said I was "going to town on that popcorn!" Finally, mommy took me to the baptism for Ian. It was a special day for him, and mommy was his godmother. It was a fun weekend, but it was nice to come home to daddy. I am 2 3/4 years old!Ready for Church Fixing mommy's hair Jumping in the leaves Mother-daughter moment Daddy found a leaf monster Helping rake leaves Up in the air!
