Our Princess...

Alyssa is really starting to love dressing up in her princess dresses.  She will put on every necklace and bracelet that she has and her princess shoes.  Then she goes clip clopping around the house.  Isn't she just the cutest thing? 

She's now in her own room with a big girl bed, and she has a lot more room to play with her toys.  She isn't a baby anymore...I'm kinda sad about that.  She's almost completely potty trained and sitting at the table with us now.  No more highchair at our house for now.  She is always singing and counting.  Alyssa knows most of the letters in the alphabet too!  She is a smart little girl!

When she is getting tired and starts to yawn, we would tell her "somebody's tired."  Now, when Mark or I yawn..she tells us "somebody's tired."  She also likes to tell us what we "want" to do.  She will ask if we want to play, and if we say not really...she says "yes, you do!"



 Now I lay me down to sleep...wait, it's not bedtime!!

Surprise!!

Texas Renaissance Festival

We took Alyssa to the Renaissance Festival this past weekend.  It was a first for all three of us.  We had a great time, ate some good food, and saw a lot of shows.  Alyssa was tuckered out by the time we left, and slept all the way home.  She got her face painted for the first time, and she couldn't decide whether to keep her fairy costume on or off. 



 Waiting at the gates to get in.


 My first face painting!!

 Miriam, Madeline, and Alyssa- the best picture of all three girls.


 Riding the merry-go-round.


 The giant tree walking around...

 Yes, we rode an elephant...

 She played a game and won a "bug in a box"...

The last show we watched..the jousting tournament.  She loved the horses!
