4 3/4 Years...I'm all about the princesses!

Papa Rick and Nana Peggy came into town to visit this month. Some of my cousins came over and we played, and we went over there and got to watch Epic together. I remembered a lot of the lines from when I watched it before.

We went to the Mizzou homecoming parade and it was so much fun! Corinne and her mommy came over to us to visit too. I got tons of candy too-just what I love!

I got to see Miss Delaney. I really missed her!

We carved a pumpkin and painted another one with glitter. I loved that!

Power tools are a necessity

I really love my princesses! Halloween was so awesome! I was Ariel, and got to wear a wig! When we couldn't find the wig at first, I told mommy and daddy that I would just be Rapunzel. Mommy told me that I didn't need a wig then because my hair was so long like hers. I hesitated and said, "I want the wig!" I totally admired myself in the mirror with that red wig and costume on.

Possible Halloween costume?

We had a really fun party at pre-school that day. Unfortunately, it was raining that day and we couldn't do our traditional Halloween parade outside. I was thrilled to party with my friends though!

We went Miss Annie and Mr. Kenny's and saw Corinne...

And then went trick-or-treating that night.

Mommy left for a conference for a few days and I got to hang out with daddy. We overslept the first morning she was gone! I did lots of coloring and crafts while she was gone.

I went to Trey's birthday party at Flipz and Brynn's birthday party at Bonkers this month too.

I've said some really funny things this month too. I noticed a princess Barbie had make-up on and said she had "purple eye stick" instead of eye shadow. I told mommy that I wanted to watch the baby being born and explained that the doctor would put "sleepy medicine" on my tummy and do the things I don't want him to do, and then he will wipe it off with water and the baby will be born. I was in the bathroom for a while and when mommy asked me what I was doing, I said, "Nothing that you need to be worried about!"
We got family pictures taken this month and mommy curled my hair.

I also learned how to do front walk-overs (some of the time!)

4 Years, 8 Months...It's a Girl!!!

I finally found out! I am going to have a baby sister! The baby was playing peek a boo with me, giving me the I love you symbol, and blew kisses at me. I did them all back! The ultrasound person told me first, and I got to tell mommy and daddy it was a girl! Right after that, she stuck her tongue out at me, so I had to return the favor! The first thing I said was, "And I thought it was going to be a boy!" I got my own ultrasound picture and was so proud to show it off and tell everyone about it. My original name for the baby was "Tree Head", but then I decided Rachel would be a good name for a girl and Avery for a boy. Another girl name I like is Elizabeth. Mommy and daddy said they were good names, but they are going to name the baby and keep it a surprise until she gets here.
We did a lot of fun things this month too. I went to South Farm with Carrie and we had a lot of fun. We got to see lots of animals and I got to listen to some good music. I got another rainbow painted on my face too!

I also went to the movies with Brynn and saw Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. We had the Walnut Street Day School pot luck too. I talked about it all week, and when it was over I was really sad it was going to be my last one. I went with daddy to get his car serviced and he let me have not one, but two containers of ice cream for breakfast!

I then went on errands with mommy, and we got to see Marion's new baby girl, Autumn. I kept complaining that I was cold and was crying there. It turns out that I had 102.2 fever that night! We had to skip Catherine's birthday party. In October, we went apple picking with Auntie Heather and family. It rained on us, but was a lot of fun to play later with Ashley and Ian.

We got to go to the toy store and make my Christmas list. I am doing a good job of asking if we can put things on my list instead of saying "I want" all the time. I got my hair cut and we had a really fun family gathering with mommy's cousins!
I said some really sweet things this month. After singing to the baby, the baby kicked. I said, "I'm so happy the baby kicked. I just have tears. I am crying. Good golly, I just can't stop!" I also said that I want to have a brother so we can get married when we are older. Later that week when mommy picked me up from school, I said, "I love that my teachers love me so much. I am joyful!"
I also said some really funny things this month. I keep getting "recognize" and "realize" mixed up. I said, "I just recognized something. On my necklace, Jesus is just hanging there on the cross." I was trying to go to sleep one night and shouted out to mommy and daddy in the living room, "I can't sleep! You're making all that racket!" I also told mommy, "I just got a text from a friend. She texted a picture on Facebook." I also said that a character in a book at "purple eyestick (eye shadow) on."
I sure do love my daddy!

4 Years, 7 Months...Birthday parties and movies and visits!

I am still so thrilled to be a big sister. I really can't wait. I'm excited to play with my baby brother or sister.
I got to go to a lot of birthday parties this month. First, was Ashley's. We got to paint pottery! I painted a mermaid that looked like Ariel. It was really hard to be around other kids I didn't know. After the party, we ate lunch and played at Ashley's house before going to visit my grandparents. I got to go in Papa Ron's pool, but it was too cold to do any real swimming. The next weekend, we had Carrie's Fairy birthday party at Flipz. I love going there! It was so much fun! After that, we went to my cousin Corinne's birthday party.
We had a really nice visit from Auntie Heather, Uncle Sean, Ashley, and Ian the next weekend. It was so nice to have them here. We also went to a couple of BBQs for Labor Day. I got to play with my cousins too. Mommy also found the movie we have been looking for all summer-My Little Ponies-Equestria Girls! I'm not sure if Mommy or I were more excited. I loved the movie so much and want all the dolls for Christmas. Anytime I want something, I tell Mommy and Daddy to "put it on my list."
We went to a couple of events at Daddy's school. We went to the Fall Sports Kick-Off and got to see all the sports. I loved seeing the cheerleaders! We also went to a game at a softball tournament. I really love the Thunderbirds!
One day this month, I got in trouble twice at school. First, I stuck my tongue out at a new girl in our class. I told my teacher it was because I missed my Mommy and Daddy. I was totally playing her! Mommy said I may have been tired, but that is no excuse! Shortly after that, I wouldn't share puzzle pieces with my friends and caused a big problem with a group of kids. Mommy and Daddy both talked to me and were both very disappointed in me. I have been fine since then. The next day, Mommy was on jury duty and it ran late, so Nana Arden picked me up from school.
Mommy and Daddy took me to the movies and we saw Epic. I really liked it a lot. We had a family movie night this past weekend and watched Despicable Me. That was pretty funny too.
When I was at HyVee with Mommy, I told her, "I need to cut back on my sugar." When we got home and Mommy was going to tell Daddy what I said, I changed my story. Then I said, "I need to go forward on my sugar!" I was also noticing my scabs from a recent fall, and told Mommy, "My scab is like a crusted up raisin!"
