3 Years, 5 Months...Sickness and vacation!

I was able to go to a cheerleading camp this month, and it was so much fun! I loved learning the cheers and doing the stunts. I also went to a bird show with Nana Carol and Papa Ron and Chase. It was really hot, and the highlight was when the one bird flew around the building! I also went to Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom's, and Aunt Lisa's, all for Father's Day! After that, I had a high fever that got up to 104 degrees one night! Mommy and daddy came into the room to sponge me down, and I just laid there and said, "Are you going to be done soon?" The fever when away, but then came back, so I went to the doctor. He said I had bronchitis, and I had my first ever round of anti-biotics! Mommy left for a conference the next week and I had a blast with daddy. I went swimming with my pre-school class and got really scared when I went under the water after going down a slide. I also got sunburned that day. The next day, I went on vacation! We went with Auntie Heather, Uncle Sean, Ashley, and Ian to Holiday World in Indiana. I loved the kiddie rides in the Christmas section, especially the sleigh ride and the bumper boats, and the "fishie ride" (Salmon Run.) I rode my first kiddie roller coaster and screamed! It was so fast and scary! I was very afraid of things here-the dark, loud noises, ghosts, going underwater, the kiddie slide in the water section of the park. Daddy got my fever when we were there and couldn't come with us the 2nd day, so mommy took me and we had "ice cream for dinner, and a taco for dessert!" I was very animated when I explained vacation to other people, using a lot of hand gestures. Some of the other cute things I have said this month: "milkers" or "sqeezers" (a cow's utters), "Mommy, your bottom is getting bigger!", showing her how big with my hands (she didn't think that was very "cute" though), "Papa Bear Smurf", "pamma trees" (palm trees), "Is that a plan of action? I also started calling for mommy and dady at bedtime and when they didn't come, I screamed, "This is ridiculous!" Shortly after vacation, I started peeing frequently (every 5 minutes.) Mommy and daddy took me back to the doctor, and he thought I had a UTI. My 2nd round of anti-biotoics! I am a lot better now. Grandma Kathy decided to come up for a surprise visit and I loved having her here! I also went to the dentist this month. I like the water sprayer and the sucker thing, but not the tooth scraper and polisher. He said my 20 teeth look good, like princess teeth. He wants me to keep my princess teeth and I need to stop sucking my thumb. That is going to be hard. I went to my first pre-school screening too! I did very well, and was in the 98%ile for verbal, 96%ile for concepts, and 69%ile for motor. Not too bad! Mommy went to visit friends for her birthday, so I had a blast again with daddy. I was really, really good for him. I got to watch Horton Hears a Who at home when mommy came home and loved it! I have a feeling this next month is going to be busy too!
