So I found some time...
I found some time to update this little blog that has poorly been neglected since March of this year. It has been a fun year looking back at Allyson and all of the changes she has gone through. In February I became a stay at home mom and that has ever more added to the excitment. Though she does still have days where she will ask "when can daddy come pick me up" when its time for her daycare friends who come to our home on a daily basis now for care. She is quite imaginative and can tell a good story like her daddy can. Knock Knock jokes seam to always end with "chicken bock" . She can make up a pretty good song about her Uncle Mike. He seems to be the topic of conversation upon returning from my parents from Thanksgiving where we spent this past Thursday-Saturday. Her favorite character is "Jeeeeeeesssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" from the movie Toy Story. She received a Jessie doll for her birthday from her Great-Uncle Mickey (whom she loves to have the highest pitch possible conversations with). Jessie eats dinner at the table with us and sometimes has her own plate/cup/silverware. She goes to bed with Jessie and looks for her first thing as soon as she is awake.
Allyson for quite sometime has known all of her Alphabet and can put them in order pretty well when it comes to puzzles. She can spell her name as well as the words mom and dad when asked to do it aloud. We seem to be doing lots of pre-reading activities so I am sure she will be an early reader. She loves to ask about letters and what sound they make. Right now we are working on sounds that each letter makes and putting the letters into order that spell her name, mom, and dad. She loves going to Grandma's craft room. This makes Melissa and I very enveyous you see grandmas craft room and stamps are off limits to us but apparently Allyson has this very special privilege to go into the craft room to make things.
Late this summer we informed Allyson that she was going to be a big sister. She is quite excited about it all and will ask to give the baby raspberries and a kiss and a hug. The only concern she has expressed is the simple fact that mommy will be going to a hospital. To her right now hospitals are a somewhat scary place to be. In early April she made a trip to the ER to get 3 stitches. She had fallen out of her chair and a tooth caught the edge of the corner of her mouth and almost went straight through. Then on May 19 she decided she needed to not follow directions and she climbed over a baby gate using the same chair she fell out of the month prior and lost her balance climbing over the gate, and fell hitting her chin on the ceramic tile and slicing underneath her chin open quite deep and ended up with 8 stitches this particular visit. Lets hope no more ER visits for her are in her future.
