Alyson brought home a little ball today. When we got out of the car, she wanted to hold it. I gave it to her before I carried her from the car to the house and told her, "Don't throw it." She hugged it close and was good. The second we got inside and I put her down, she threw it across the living room.

Madelyn to Alyson as she tried to get around her: You have to pay the toll!
Alyson walked around her and blew a raspberry at her in defiance.

Tony took Alyson to Starbucks this morning. As he was taking her out of the car:

Alyson: Mama?
Tony: Mommy stayed home.
Alyson: Ohhhhh....

While eating dinner, Alyson started playing around a bit since she was getting full. She lifted her fork straight up with a piece of waffle on it (think all hail the might waffle!) and babbled something. She was staring so intently at the waffle that we're pretty sure she put some waffle spell on the entire world. In her mind, magic was shooting off from the waffle in all directions.

The girls were playing when it was getting to be time to leave Mom's house to come home today.

Me: Are you ready to go home?
Alyson: Yeah!

She then just continued playing.

Tony was getting the dirty diapers from Alyson's room before leaving me to nurse her before bed. He was taking a little longer than usual to leave. 

Alyson looked at me like "What is he doing???" and grabbed my shirt to tell me what she wanted.
Me: We'll wait until Daddy leaves and you say "buh bye".
Alyson, turning toward Tony: Bye!

I was in the living room with Madelyn, and Alyson came in from the playroom. She held up the crayon and paper she was holding:

Alyson: Ehhh?!?!
Me: If you want to color, go to your chair.

Alyson walked off to the table. I put her up in her seat, and she started scribbling. Next thing I know, she is acting like she is done. Nope, she wanted me to color something. So, I drew something and handed the paper and crayon back to her. She scribbled and handed it back to me. This continued for 5 minutes as we each took turns drawing on the paper.
