Alyson loves jumping in puddles. It rained today, so she made sure to put on her rain boots before we we went up to the bus stop to get Madelyn. 

Alyson, disappointed that there weren't more puddles: There aren't any puddles for me to splash in.
Me: They dried up some.
Alyson: But, puddles is my life.

During preschool today, Alyson's class read the Elephant and Piggie book "Waiting Is Not Easy" by Mo Willems. We have that book, so Alyson picked it out for her bed time story. While Tony was reading, he got to a line that said, "Wait for it." He pulled out his phone, queued up his music, began reading again, and played "Wait For It" from the Hamilton soundtrack when he got to that line. Alyson realized what he did and laughed at him.

We went to Auntie Julie's for our monthly dinner today. We got home a little early because of having things to do to get ready for the workweek. We already packed lunches and Tony was cooking bacon for the week.

Alyson: Are we having pancakes for dinner?
Me: We already ate dinner at Auntie Julie's.
Alyson: Oh yeah!

Alyson was watching me put on make-up this morning and was very confused about what I was doing when I was putting on eye shadow. She asked me, "Why are you coloring?"

After we got the boxes of ornaments out to decorate the tree, Alyson looked at them, pointed to one of them, and said, "I like the ornaments in here even though I can't see them."

After we finished the first box of the two, Alyson looked at the tree and stated, "We're done. The tree is full now."

While we were watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a Macy's commercial with a Santa balloon floating around came on. Alyson was watching in awe and quietly whispered, "Santa, I love you."

First

Tony was zipping up Alyson's coat and started being silly by zipping it up and down quickly to the music that we had playing. Alyson was concerned and yelled at him, "Don't do that! You'll waste it!" I guess her coat only has so many zips.

Second

Alyson was going to help me make dinner. I quickly checked the recipe on my computer that was in the living room. She was waiting in the kitchen, but then peaked into the living room to ask, "Aren't you going to help me fix dinner?"
