What do you want to do tomorrow?
Allison have a little routine that we do each night. I ask her what she’d like to do the next day, and she comes up with the most interesting responses …examples below
- “I want to ride a pony. Katherine ride a Big Pony. I ride a…pony.” (referring to the MS research picnic last week)
- “Go to Chuck E. Cheese”
- “Blow bubbles”
- “Eat Food” (pronounced Footd)
Yesterday we drove back to our house. Allison spied long clouds in the sky and exclaimed, “The Blue Jets go Loop de Loop!” She’s also picked up Katherine’s habit of asking, “Mom, are you ready?” the song before “It’s a Small World” on our Disney musical DVD.
Danger Girl
Allison is still very much in her crazy, no fear phase. Yesterday we took the girls to a park which has a low wood walkway through wetlands and a park that resembles a castle. On the way back to the car, Allison decided to try and walk along the side rail of the bridge which is just a couple inches tall. I spied her trying this and asked her to walk in the middle of the bridge. One minute later I heard Steve exclaim, “Allison!!!” She had put her foot back on the rail and toppled straight into the tall grasses a good 18-24 inches below the bridge. Steve leaped into the grass and fished out a slightly shaken toddler. Allison had a slight scratch on her arm and lots of grass stuck in her clothes and floppy hat. No other injuries…sigh!
