two more days…

this week i had a major milestone in my life!  i went to the doctor for a “sick” visit for the first time!  on monday afternoon, i told mommy that my ear hurt and i was holding it.  i never ran a fever, but i had a runny nose off and on for the past couple weeks.  turns out i had an ear infection so i have been taking my pink medicine since tuesday.  the doctor was very surprised and happy to hear that this was my first sick visit and i was just a week away from my 3rd birthday!  i wasn’t scared at all when she did a short check-up and i even asked her if i could still go to school that day!  she said it was ok as long as i was feeling up to it.  i got a special princess sticker on the way out of the office, we went to walgreen’s to get my medicine and mommy took me to school!  my ear is feeling much better!

mommy and i went to tweetsie on friday and it was a great surprise for me since she didn’t tell me we were going there until minutes before we left the house!  we hadn’t been there in quite a while since we have been so busy lately and they are only open on weekends now that fall has arrived.  my friend dixie met us out there as well.  i volunteered to help hammer the nails in the railroad during the hopper and porter show.  we hammered to my favorite song “working on the railroad” and i did a great job up there on stage!

     

we were very excited about the hawks big win last night!  i had to go to bed before the game started, but mommy and daddy told me the good news when they got me up this morning!  i still had my iowa tattoo on my hand for good luck!  they also found me having a little party in my bed with several of my stuffed animals!

my birthday is only two days away and OH BOY am i excited!!!  we are having a steak dinner on tuesday with just our family and i will also open gifts from family.  some friends are coming over for a cookout/birthday party on saturday so i get to have two small celebrations for turning the big THREE!

 

IT’S GAMEDAY!

we are ready for another football saturday!  i have a hawkeye tattoo, my cheerleader outfit and my black and gold dogs!  let’s go hawks!

it’s already friday and i still haven’t posted about what a fun time we had last weekend!  saturday was the iowa/isu game and we watched it on tv at our house!  we were all so excited to see the hawks play since we don’t get all the games on tv.  even our black and gold doggies were ready for gameday!  mommy and i both got hawkeye tattoos on our cheeks and i got one on my hand as well.  i have learned to get excited for saturdays since that is the day i get a tattoo! 

after the hawks claimed victory, we went over to our friends house for some more football and dinner.  lily baye and i had a great time playing in her big playroom.  her baby sister madden also wanted to join us.  we played games, did some dancing and also watched “cars” at the end of the night to wind down.

 

this week has been good!  school was very fun, as always!  there is a different theme in my room every couple weeks.  the first theme our teachers did this year was nursery rhymes.  all the books on the bookshelf were about certain nursery rhymes and all the art projects we did were about things we read about in those books.  we made an itsy bitsy spider with a water spout and a hickory dickory dock clock with a mouse.  the new theme this week at school is trains!  i LOVE trains, so i was especially happy about that!  they have all train books out and there is one that is about TWEETSIE!  that is my favorite book!

 

09.09.09

today’s number of the day is nine, in case you didn’t already know that!  september is here, the ninth month, and i’m very ready for my birthday, which i’m learning will be on sept 29th.  we are going to look at the calendar everyday from now until then so we can see my birthday get closer and closer.

this past weekend we had our friends the huff’s in town from augusta.  the entire family was able to come this time so it was a full house here!  brennan and i played a lot with my toys and we also went to the park with our mommies and the twins blythe and brianna.  our daddies played golf one afternoon and our mommies also got to escape the next afternoon for a couple of hours to shop.  we ate lots of yummy food, including chick-fil-a on labor day.  we had lunch there right before our friends had to head back down the mountain.  we got free chicken sandwiches and also had our yummy ice cream cones!

  

    

 

 

this past week mommy and i went to a playdate at the park.  it was a true fall day…brisk but it felt great!

mommy also painted my fingers and toes GREEN last week since i had been asking her for days.  i don’t know why i picked the color green, but luckily we found that color at the store and i have gotten lots of compliments from my friends on the pretty color!

YAY…a new blog entry!

there has been lots going on with us lately and mommy can’t hardly download pictures these days since we have been so busy.  the past two weekends have been so fun visiting with our friends, but that also takes a lot out of us so we need time to recover! 

i started school on august 27th.  i only went for half the time on the first day since they want us to ease back into it.  i cried when mommy left, but not for too long since we started painting right then, and i love to paint!  i have the same teacher ms norman again this year and she has a new assistant teacher ms gillian and i really like her a lot as well.  there are 6 other kids in my class and my friend dixie is one of them.  she and i are the only girls!  i have been back to class on tuesday and thursday mornings and haven’t cried anymore since i remembered that school is a really fun place to be!

last weekend we made a road trip to see amy, kayla, norma and brian in raleigh.  i was so excited to see amy that i behaved in the car for the entire three hour trip! 

i was quite excited because i wanted to get some pretty blue toes!  that might sound funny, but amy and i video talk on the computer sometimes and she shows me her toes and they are always painted some really pretty color.  the last time i saw them they were blue, so i told my mommy that i’m gonna get blue pretty toes when i go to amy’s.  norma painted my toes and my fingers for me while amy watched.

amy and i had a blast playing together.  we colored, rode trikes outside, and did lots of dancing to our favorite song “working on the railroad”.  we also went to the beach at jordan lake.  the water was so calm that we could spend lots of time cooling off in our floaties.  we also had fun playing in the sand. 

       

here are a few more fun pictures of me from the end of august.  mommy still has to download the pictures from september, including labor day weekend.  she will update the blog once that’s done…thanks for being patient and coming back to the blog to check on me!
