- New Hiding Place
As you may remember, Alyse likes to hide in different places. This is still her favorite hiding spot, but today my friend Joy stopped by. After visiting for awhile in my garage (yes, she is one of the few people who I would just hang out in my garage with), we opened the door to check on Alyse. I had left her on my bed watching The Backyardigans and thought that she was going to fall asleep because it was right at her nap time. Well, she wasn't on my bed anymore. Now she was sitting in Bo's bed - meaning his dog crate. I should have taken a picture, but well, I didn't. Here is a picture of Bo in his crate. It is almost as cute as Alyse....
(This was taken on Sunday when he was hiding from the ironing board. Yes, our Rottweiler is scared to death of the ironing board. When I pull it out, he goes running!)
- Time Out
Lately we have started to put Alyse on time out if she disobeys. She is suppose to sit in a chair for 1 minute. It has only had to happen twice, so she is still new at this. Well, yesterday she turned off my computer while I was typing an email so I took her to the chair for time out.
I told her, "No, No! You do not touch Mommy's computer. Say, 'Yes, Mommy'."
She just stared at me.....
I then said, "You need to obey Mommy. Now you need to sit on time out for one minute."
Still no answer. (No, I wasn't really expecting much.)
For the next minute she proceeded to have a long conversation of "Lalala, Bo, madala, Papa, ladala, Josh, Dadadadadada, Gahme (that is Grammy), lalala, Puuuppy......"
For the next minute I proceeded to try really hard not laugh and just stick with this whole time out thing.
Don't think she gets it!
- Consignment Sale
Last weekend I spent some time and went through little Miss Alyse Nicole's clothes. At the school/church that I use to work at they are having a large consignment sale tomorrow morning. So, I went to work and came up with about 90 things to try and sell to make some $.
Tonight, the people who were consigning clothes were let in to do some early shopping. I walked away with a number of cute little outfits. Most of them were Gap, Ralph Lauren, and Gymboree. (Yes, I am a "label snob" when it comes to consignment sales.) I also ended up getting Alyse her Halloween outfit (well, a second one...) and a cute little vanity for her to play dress up at. On the back is a little section to hang a few outfits. It looks pretty cute in her room, don't ya think?
- Dress Up
Speaking of dress up, I will leave you with a few cute picture of a little fairy princess.
(I think she is precious. She wore those wings most of the day today. Yes, even when she was in the dog crate and at Qdoba when we had lunch with Daddy.)
