I was tracing some circles to cut out. Alyson kept pointing to the drawn circles yelling, "Bubble!"

During dinner, I got some Old Bay out to add to the fish. Immediately, Alyson pointed to it and begged for some. She did that with every condiment with dinner. I think she ate more ketchup and tartar sauce from her fingers than actually with her food.

Tony rode his bike with the girls in the bike trailer to Madelyn's race today. I ran to the race and back. As they were leaving after the race, Alyson was sitting in the trailer waving out the window and yelling "Bye bye!" to everyone.

At dinner today at Silver Diner, we got Alyson the Chicken Pizza Quesadilla on the kids menu. She ate all of her strawberries that come with it and didn't touch the quesadilla. I was trying to get her to at least try it because I thought she would eat it.

Me: It's cheesy and tastes like pizza. 
Alyson, pointing to the tortilla part: Cracker?
Me: Yeah, it's kind of like a cracker.
Alyson: Cracker!

She then tasted it and happily ate at least half of it while calling it a cracker. Whatever works.

While fixing dinner, Alyson wanted me to pick her up.

Alyson, reaching up: Up!
Me: Up what?
Alyson: Dow. (Down.)
Me: Up, please.
Alyson: Up!
Me: Please.
Alyson: Dow.

When Tony was leaving Alyson's room before bed so that I could nurse her:

Me to Alyson: Blow Daddy a kiss.
Alyson: Burp!
Me: Alyson, blow Daddy a kiss.
Alyson: Burp!

While on our walk after dinner this evening, Madelyn kept trying to be the leader as usual. She kept stopping to pick up leave and other things on the way, though, and we kept passing her. She would then yell at us and run around us. Alyson had something to say about it.

Madelyn: Guys! I'm supposed to be the leader!
Me/Tony: What makes you the leader?
Madelyn: Because I'm the biggest kid, so I get to be the leader.
Me, teasing: No. I think I'm a bigger kid.
Tony: Yeah, you aren't the biggest kid.
Madelyn: Yes, I am the biggest kid.
Alyson: No!!!
