B-Y-O-T to the P-O-O-L

No swimming lessons today meant that if I wanted to play with toys in the pool, I had to bring my own.

It's the Amys/Amies/Ameez!

What could be better than having the Amys come to my house, showing the Amys my new toys, talking with the Amys and eating dinner with the Amys? Getting to say "The Amys" about a thousand times in just a couple of hours.

The painterly way

Every year I find brand new art supplies in my Christmas stocking, and every year I put those art supplies to good use.

(Dec. 26, 2013)

Merry Christmas!

Spent today playing with so many fun toys. It was exactly the same thing I did last year. And the year before that.

'Twas the night before Christmas

Who can even think about going to sleep? I want to share all of my holiday cheer with my friends!

(Dec. 24, 2013)

Not tired

I wasn't kidding when I told dad for over an hour and a half that I wasn't tired and didn't need to go to sleep.

A wonderful, white Christmas

My first go-round of Christmas was this morning, and we awoke to a fresh layer of snow outside and tree surrounded by presents. Later, we had a snowball fight in the backyard and built this little snowman. Confession: after I gave him this kiss, I ate his nose.

Rare case of shyness

I went to "The Nutcracker" ballet at Friends University tonight. Dad took me to meet Mother Ginger afterwards, but I just couldn't bring myself to shake hands with an eight-foot tall lady. 

(Dec. 21, 2013)

Christmas cheer

Had my annual Christmas program today and I was much more lively than I was a year ago. 

(Dec. 20, 2013)

Date with dad

When dad picked me up from school, he took me to Braum's for a little treat. Can't beat strawberry cheesecake flavored ice cream.

Three-hour naps solve all problems

Naps are good. Always good.

(Dec. 18, 2013)

I'm sick. Let's discuss.

Mommy had to pick me up early from school today. Turns out I had a bit of a stomach bug. Let's hear all about it.
(Dec. 17, 2013)

Bright whites

My teeth are so bright, I gotta wear shades. Had another perfect checkup at the dentist today. 

(Dec. 16, 2013)

A sign of the season

"The Elf on the Shelf" is my new favorite book. Discovering where the elf is every morning is my new favorite part of the day. 

(Dec. 15, 2013) 

Tasty decorations

The best thing about decorating Christmas cookies is eating all of the yummy things that go on them. 

(Dec. 14, 2014)

My first movie

I got sit in the plush seats (with a booster) at the Warren Theatre and take in my first movie. "Frozen" sure was exciting and popcorn was delicious!

(Dec. 13, 2013)

What child is this who laid to rest?

The view of me sleeping soundly via the baby monitor sure looks more festive when it doubles as a Christmas tree ornament. 

(Dec. 12, 2013)

Revisiting the Hot Tub Time Machine

I can't believe I was ever small enough for Mommy to give me a bath in the sink. But it's true--she did.

(Dec. 11, 2013)

Toymania

Before I can tell Santa and the Elf on the Shelf what I want for Christmas, I decided a fact-finding trip to the nearest Target was in order.

(Dec. 10, 2013)

Sharing is caring

I shared some money with the Salvation Army. The friendly bell ringer shared his bell with me. It was a win for everyone involved. 

(Dec. 9, 2013)

Holiday Open House

Turns out Santa Claus and I have met at WAM before. Actually, it's been a couple of times. 

(Dec. 8, 2013)

Mr. Bubble

Just a little bit of bubblebath and suddenly you couldn't see any of my rubber ducks.

(Dec. 7, 2013)

Broncobuster

Sometimes getting Legend my pony to "whoa!" really takes some effort.

(Dec. 6, 2013)

Storytime with Grandpa

We have a deal: I pick out all the books, and Grandpa reads all of the bedtime stories.

(Dec. 5, 2013)

Passenger entertainment

Dad is a barrel of laughs sometimes.
(Dec. 4, 2013)

Protecting against the elements

Wintery weather means chapped lips and I need to make sure that dad and I keeps our lips moist with multiple applications of lip balm.

(Dec. 3, 2013)

I'm "Loving" dinner

Instead of giving me a cooking lesson, this time I invited Papa Louie over for tasty potroast. 

(Dec. 2, 2013)

No lucky break

Dad and I had a pull at the ol' wishbone. It broke equally on both sides, so we're not sure what that means, but it sure was fun to break that thing. 

(Dec. 1, 2013)

Party in the playhouse

The best place to read books with Aunt Laura is in the dynamite playhouse she sewed for me.

(Nov. 30, 2013)

Another Georgia on my mind

What's in Aunt Aerica's tummy? A new baby cousin is on the way!

(Nov. 29, 2013)

A little Christmas cheer

Georgia and I got to open up our Christmas gifts a little early. Not only were our outfits identical, but our gifts were, too.

(Nov. 28, 2013)

Playtime with Georgia

I love it when my baby cousin comes to Kansas for a visit.

(Nov. 27, 2013)

Christmastime is here

First on my agenda: get the Christmas tree decorated.

(Nov. 26, 2013)

Communication Breakdown

I have an old phone I like to play with. Today I called up Auntie Jaime to have a word or two. 

(Nov. 25, 2013)

Sunday morning in style

Is there a better way to spend a chilly Sunday morning than wrapped up in a blanket watching "The Little Mermaid" on DVD?

(Nov. 24, 2013)

Float on

I was absent from swim class last week so it was important for me to discuss with Miss Heather what I missed while I was gone.

(Nov. 23, 2013)

Hostess with the mostess

I love it when special friends come to visit on a cold night and need some (pretend) hot tea to warm up.

(Nov. 22, 2013)

Stairway to toy heaven

To see the toys (toys!) I had to get to the second floor as fast as I could.

(Nov. 21, 2013)

There's no time like potty time

I got this fancy new watch to remind me when it's time to listen to my body and take a potty break. 

(Nov. 20, 2013)

Dinner with the Fiebachs

Baby Trixie's baby food looked good enough to eat. Almost.

(Nov. 19, 2013)

Lively dinner conversation

As has been the case since I started talking, Dad and I have some interesting dinner conversations. 

(Nov. 18, 2013)

Accessories = fancy extra stuff

I'm supposed to be shopping for a Christmas dress. Instead, these cute stuffed animal purses have caught my attention.

A super Saturday with Julian

From lunchtime to naptime to playtime, I had a great day with my best buddy.

The gift that keeps on giving

My aluminum foil crown still holds the title of favorite toy after 24 hours. 

(Nov. 15, 2013)

Crowned

Jill sure is handy with a piece of aluminum foil. 

(Nov. 14, 2013)

Mulling over a toothbrush purchase

I'm supposed to bring extra toothbrushes to school tomorrow. The decision over which ones to bring may take some time.

(Nov. 13, 2013)

Food fun

There's a reason spaghetti is my favorite food. In addition to tasting good, it has so many other fun uses. 

(Nov. 12, 2013)

Airport art

There's a big sculpture at Wichita's Mid-Continent Airport. I don't know what it is, but it looks a lot like a big, crazy mirror. 

(Nov. 11, 2013)

Last call

The weatherman says winter is on its way, so I'm running out of time for things like this. 

(Nov. 10, 2013)

Doggone good time

I loved hanging out with Bess. She's more fun to play with than Spatz and Zelde.
