If you haven't been counting, I'm 3 1/2 years old now!!! I like to do most things by myself! I like to dress myself, go to the bathroom by myself (often with the door closed), decide what I want for meals, cut up my hotdogs myself, read books to myself, brush my teeth myself, ride my bike myself...you get the point! I've become pretty independent! I ask to play outside alone but Mom and Dad haven't (& won't) give in to that request! My new favorite thing to ask to do is to be dropped off at Smallville. Smallville is the play area inside of Ikea. I'm allowed to play there for 1-2 hours depending on how busy they are. I just love it there! I get to jump in the ball pit, climb the rock walk, watch movies, color pictures, swing in the big fake pine trees and play with new kids! When I'm done in there I talk for hours how I got to go there by myself without Mom or Dad or Ryker!

I'm back in gymnastics and that's been great! As soon as we get there I remind Mom or Dad that they aren't allowed to come in, that it's only for kids! I still like being dropped off at school too! Last week Mom took advantage of the After-Care and I was able to stay an extra hour after preschool was over! That was tons of fun and my school buddy, Celia, was there too so we got to play together extra long!

Daddy is off to Mexico for 5 days, he is leaving on Wednesday. He's going there with the Blast for a playoff game so wish him luck! Then on Monday night, after he gets back he will play another playoff game. If they make it to finals then the Championship game will be in Milwaukee on Easter! Mom and Dad are trying to decide if we will be heading to that game or not! Go Blast Go!!
