I'm in preschool class!

This is a big week for me! Now that I am three, I have moved to the preschool room. I am becoming a big girl princess!

I spent half-days in my older toddler room and the other half in preschool the last two weeks. I sure do miss Miss Annette and Miss Amy in older toddler room. They took care of Rigby a long time ago and they were great to me as well. Now I am with Miss Stephanie and Miss Jean. They are fun and they were Rigby's teachers as well.

I am potty trained now, which means I can pee-pee and poo-poo in the potty. I like going to the bathroom by myself and ask for privacy. I sometimes have to ask mommy and daddy for help wiping sometimes.

We are going to White Pine in the middle of this week to see Grammy and Pop Pop. My mommy and daddy have to go to Charlotte, North Carolina. (editor's note: Rest in Peace Grandmother, Aileen Martin Gray).

Play Date

I had a play date with one of my school friends today, who is a boy named Caleb.

Earlier in the day, me and mommy and Nana went to Wal-Mart and went shopping. We got food and some stuff for Christmas.

Mommy, daddy, Rigby and I went to the mall and bookstore and looked through books with Caleb and his mommy and daddy. We later walked through the mall and to the playground area. We played, jumped, climbed and ran all over the place while Caleb's daddy tried to catch us. We had a great time.

Later, we went to a Red Robin restaurant. I ate the stuff off of the onion rings, but the onion was yuck. I had chicken and french fries and lemonade. Caleb and me sat in booster seats and sat on each side of my mommy. We drove mommy crazy. Rigby colored and ate onion rings and macaroni and cheese.

I had a fun day. I am getting ready to fall asleep on the fun room couch.

I'm a Cheerleader

Mommy, daddy, Rigby and I went to the Meet the Mocs football practice today. I wore my cheerleading outfit and got to meet some of the UTC cheerleaders!

Rigby's Swim Lessons

Today after school, me, mommy and daddy took Rigby to swimming lessons at Baylor School. They have a really big pool. Rigby went to another room and went swimming in a little pool. I really wanted to go swimming but I had to sit with mommy and daddy and wait for Rigby to swim with his coach.

I sat on the big seats and colored with mommy. We had to wait a while for Rigby to get done. He said he had a really good time.

Later, we went to the big Wal-Mart and Rigby held my hand and played with me all over the store. We have a good time together.

Well, it is on to my big-girl bed and have some warm milk. Rigby is in his room watching Backyardigans.

Rocks, Hike, Deer

We went into the Smoky Mountains and I got to get in the water and throw rocks.




I also went to a place called Cades Cove and got to hike. We went into a big grass place and I "hike, deer." There were lots of deer out there.



I fell asleep before I got to see the big black bear and her baby.

Begin the wallet emptying process

It has begun. I have discovered a fun way to empty the wallet - getting my hair cut. Not only did my first haircut go well at Supercuts in Hixson, but I loved it. I have talked about it all day.

Here I am getting my first blow dry after my first haircut!

April Showers

I have learned the urge to pee-pee in the potty. I do not go every time, but I am often found on the potty taking a little tinkle.

At night, that diaper is nice to have cause I cannot hold it that long.

Just tonight I was running in place in the bathroom trying to get my pants down. Daddy got me on the potty just in time and I let it out! I heard mommy and daddy say that I did it much younger that Rigby ever did, but someone else said girls learn pee-pee quicker.

Now it's on to No. 2. I have told mommy sometimes, "it's coming it's coming" but it never does. I end up going in my diaper.
