Today you are really starting with the whole do it myself with the carseat thing. You want to buckle it no matter how long it takes and we all clap when you are done. Today we went to lunch with Nana and Dandy and Brooke was crying on the way there about ot wanting to sit in the booster car seat and you told her to, "knock it off". For once it wasn't you crying when we went somewhere.

Today Taylor came over after school. You were in heaven. You wanted her to watch your every move while you were dancing and showing off in the living room. The things you say are so cute...marshmallows are "smarshmallows". When you want to drink out of the can you say pan. I don't correct you on most things because you are so darn cute. We have been working on spelling your name, you have it one day not the next. Anyway, you were saying your prayers tonight and you told God, I can't do anything...I can't spell my name, I can't do a cartwheel, I can't do a handstand. Poor thing...it must be hard to be a middle sister. I think I am going to find a time soon where you and I can go somewhere maybe the movies or something together.

You were excited tonight because we got to go eat "chicken lattas" at TaMolly's before church. You are so adorable...when we drive by TaMolly's you will say, "That place is good. I want some chicken lattas." At church they called you and Brooke and Brynlee up for the birthday song. Surprisingly you went and though you never looked at the audience, you didn't make me hold you. Of course you loved class and could not wait to show me what you had made.

March 24 2009

We had to take Brooke and Brynlee to the doctor today. You and Brooke are starting to fight more and more, you had an all out brawl in front of the doctor. NICE! But then you snuggled up in my arms when we got home and took a nap. I still haven't officially gotten rid of all the passy's like I said I would when you were 3 but it is coming...soon.

March 23 2009

You did not like it this morning when you woke up and could not find Brooke. You have been used to playing with her on Spring Break. You also asked, "Am I still three? You are so precious in the mornings when you wake up in a good mood.

Today we had Brynlee's first birthday party. You loved playing with all the cousins, especially Lawson. Today is your REAL birthday, though we kind of switched this year. We pretended that Brynlee's real b-day was yours and now her party is on your real day. I really think you are both too young to care. It just worked out that way with the trip. So here is what I want to write to you on your birthday. Blaire oh Blaire where to begin. You are the sweetest, cutest, little ball of fire. The things that come out of your mouth and the winks, grins and cheesy smiles are enough to light up the world-especially mine. You have brought so much joy to this family and definitely keep us on our toes. It has been warming to see you be a BIG sister to Brynlee and to be home with you this year. You amaze me at what you pick up , you placed objects in a circle yesterday and counted them one by one to 30! (you only missed a few) I don't sit down with you as much as I did with Brooke but there is just so much more to do than when I just had Brooke. You would rather be playing a game with her or dancing in the living room. You have such a lively personality when people get to know you. You are super shy until you get to know someone and then we literally can't get you to slow down. We love you so much and you are my favorite middle child!!!!

Going home! You did well getting up so early . You girls thought it was neat that the moon was still out when we left our room. (6:00 am) We are not early risers so this was different for you guys. You did ok until about half way through the plane trip you were done. Your ears hurt on the descent a little. We were all glad to be home. Aunt Kathy and Lindsey were in town for Erin's shower today so we went over to Dee Dee's to see everyone and then tonight all ate at Ironwood Grill where all the kids could play in the sandbox. You ran around like you owned the place.

March 20 2009

Today we went to kunch at Hollywood Studios, Hoolywood and Vine. It was a birthday lunch for you with characters from playhouse disney, JoJo, Goliath, and Little Einsteins. You actually gave them a hug and were not as shy. We had a great time and great food. They gave you a birthday cupcake and card. We watched a show there and then headed back to the resort to swim since it was our last day. You and Brynlee ended up napping in the room with me while Daddy and Brooke swam. I took you down later to the kiddie pool but of course you only got your feet wet.

March 19 2009

Today we had breakfast with Minnie Mouse, Donald and Goofy at Cape May at our resort. It was really good food. You had Mickey shaped waffles. We went over to Magic Kingdom for the last time today. You kept saying you wanted to ride some more rides. We rode several and you had fun but again major cranky day. I had to leave you screaming with Daddy while I took Brooke to the restroom because you were throwing such a fit. We didn't let you go up in the treehouse with Brooke and Daddy because again, horrible behavior. I hope this is not a new thing, just because of all the excitement that you are acting this way.

March 18 2009

Today we went to Epcot, which was walking distance from our hotel. We rode the rides and saw the sights today. You liked all the rides and especially the playground there. We had to go back and get ready for the Spirit of Aloha dinner. It was neat because it was a dinner show and hula dancing. We all went on stage when they asked for the March birthdays. You were acting shy but at least I wasn't holding you this time, (I had Brynlee). You were confused and wanted to know where the hula hoops were.

March 17 2009

Today we hit Animal Kingdom. Oh my the crankiness- I didn't think we were going to get there with all the fits and whining (from you). You girls loved the animal safari and the characters at this park .At the end they had a parade and a conga line. You wanted to go dance but of course wanted met to hold you, so we both went and danced for a few minutes at the end. You can't decide if you are shy or the life of the party.We visited an area which had snakes and insects, etc. You wanted to know where the cavity bugs were? ha

March 16 2009

Today Brooke and Daddy went swimming most of the day while you and I did laundry. You slept a little in the stroller. They took you with them but that lasted a whole half hour and you were done. You don't really want to get all the way in and certainly did not want to go down a water slide. Tonight we walked over to Epcot and had some Mexican food and watched the fireworks there, again you were not a fan.

March 15 2009

Today we went to the Magic Kingdom. We called you Hollywood in your shades. You posed for pictures in your cute Minnie outfit. Cranky came later in the afternoon. It was an incredibly hot day and we weren't on a great eating schedule. You finally fell asleep so Daddy sat with you on a bench while Brooke and I (and Brynlee) rode a few rides. You woke up for the parade and enjoyed it. You were not a fan of the fireworks show however. You held your ears the entire time. We got back to the Beach Club and let you girls take a quick dip in the pool before bed. You mostly wandered up and down the steps which is an improvement from last summer.

March 14 2009

I am starting this a little before you actual birthday because of our big trip-wanted to make sure I get it all in. I started writing my journal on the computer this year in hopes to actually get it all in. I never realized how much time it takes to actually write things out especially when I have so much to write. So here goes to a new year of better journaling for you. I never want to forget all the adorable things you say and do. Today was Brooke'e birthday and we woke you all up super early to let Brooke (and you) since your birthday is later this week, it is a present for all 3, open your presents. We had 6 birthday sacks, each containing a letter which spelled out DISNEY. Until that point you were not very interested, just trying to stay awake on Daddy's shoulder. When you heard me say we are going to Disney, you perked up and said, "I did want to go to Disney." Next you asked if we were going to ride in an airplane. We were all bubbling with excitement and jumped in the car. You girls stayed awake on the trip to the airport and we got there pretty uneventful. We watched our plane come up and then boarded. You did good and loved the plane ride and looking down at the ground and the clouds. You were sleepy when we go there and were almost asleep when we landed. The resort was beautiful and we got ready for our birthday dinner with the princesses. You dressed up as Sleeping Beauty and I even curled your hair. You made a beautiful princess! When we walked in they had pictures with Belle set up and I think it all kind of overwhelmed you because you stuck your tongue out at Belle when we tried to go have pictures. The stroller lost a wheel and Daddy had to help it along to get back to the hotel. He also popped his knee out which made for a long trip. We were all exhausted of course and went right to bed, ready for a big day tomorrow.
