I finally broke down and bought you your own bike w/ training wheels. It's purple and pink with streamers coming off the handle bars. You were so excited when dad was putting it together. On Tuesday we went on a family bike ride and it was your first bike ride. You did so well. You kept up with us. I could tell that you were very happy and proud that you were doing this by yourself rather than riding in the chariot w/ Levi. On our way home, you crashed. You crashed big time....as in you went face first in the concrete. Luckily you were wearing a helmet and that saved you, but it still scared you and you stood up crying. We asked if you wanted to get in the chariot or keep riding your bike and you said through tears "Ride my bike." I'll be honest, I was surprised, but very proud of you for getting right back on your bike and finishing our bike ride.
Last night you RAN in our room at about 2am and in your saddest voice made this statement, "It's dark in my room."
You love the new movie that came out, "Tangled," but you always think Mother Gothel, the mean lady, is always in your closet.

4.20.11
Yesterday and today you had two firsts
Last night you had your FIRST sleepover. Ella E. spent the night at our house. Her dad was coming home from a deployment in the middle of the night, so her mom had to pick him up. Dad put you and Ella in your room at 7:15pm (cuz I was at mutual) and you guys didn't fall asleep until 9:45pm. You woke up screaming at 4am saying that Ella was gone. I didn't fall asleep after that. Then you, Ella, and Sydney woke up for good at 6am. Needless to say I'm exhausted. You were lucky and took a 3 hour nap. You had a lot of fun having her stay the night with you. Ever since she left you have been begging that she sleeps at our house FOREVER.
This afternoon you had your FIRST audition. It was at the Embassy Suites in Anchorage. I heard about it at Sydney's preschool yesterday. I was curious what an audition is like and how you would do so we gave it a try. First they took still pictures of you. When they asked you to smile, you gave them a silly face pulling your eyes down. In front of a video camera they asked you what you like to do. You said, "swimming in a pool." When asked your favorite food you said, "pizza." They video taped you messing around with a toy and that was it. The producer said you did great. Which I don't know if she was being nice or honest. I told her you were more shy than usual. Usually you chat it up with people (who are friendly with kids). The audition was for a Baby Einstein video. Let's just say I won't be holding my breath. It was a good experience for you and I learned that Sydney would have been all over an audition. The producer said all three of you, Sydney and Levi, are extraverts and would do well in front of a camera. Hmmm. I guess time will tell.

4.14.11
Last Sunday was fast and testimony meeting. You wanted to bear your testimony, but it's encouraged in our ward for ALL kids to go up by them self and not have a parent helping them. The next day for FHE, we just so happened to discuss testimonies and practice giving our testimony. We had our pretend microphone and you stood up on the hearth and for the first time I heard your testimony. You mostly talked about food, toys, books, and President Monson. So I had to teach you what is appropriate to talk about in a testimony. Every night before bed all of us have practiced saying our testimonies in front of each other. You say, "I like this church is true. I like Pres. Monson, Uchtdorf, Eyring." And you say a few other things I can't understand.
You are looking forward to going to Gammie's house and going to Disneyland w/ Gammie and Grandpa and your cousins. You are also to start preschool after summer.
You are actually getting better about NOT whining. Me and dad have no patience for that. Every time you whine I have to remind you that I can't understand what you're saying and you usually ask again with a "normal" voice. If you continue to whine you're asked to go upstairs and whine by yourself in your room.
