All about Allison

Well, Allison does so many funny things that I feel the need to devote a post to my sweet 2 year old daughter. I seriously laugh every day with the funny things she does and want to have it written down to remember in the future some day.

One funny thing she does is insist that she be called a big girl. Even when we call her princess or beautiful, she insists that she she's not beautiful or a princess, she's a BIG GIRL! We hear this several times a day whenever we call her anything other than Allie, Allison or big girl and she even insists that she be called big girl instead of her name some times, too funny!

Next, she really wants to be potty trained and wear underwear but I need to wait until we go on vacation in a few weeks and then hopefully I'll be feeling a little better and we can work on it. Until then, she insists on wearing underwear over her diaper and if we forget and she forgets, you can be sure she will remember at some point and she will remove her pants and put on underwear and then put her pants back on, usually backwards!

Almost every night she wakes up screaming because she has nightmares that there are bugs or bees or spiders in her bed. It is a little hard waking up to this every night but hopefully this will be a short lived phase. One night she was convinced that Timmy was in her bed and when I went to leave, apparently I did not soothe her enough to be sure so I had to point out everything on her bed including pillows, blankets and stuffed animals and only then was she convinced he wasn't in her bed.

Lastly, she never goes to sleep right away when we put her in her bed for nap or bedtime. Instead, she pulls clothes out of her drawers and her underwear out and starts changing clothes. Usually she will pull out her favorite outfit, even if it's in the laundry basket and put it on. It is a brown monkey shirt with pink long sleeves and pink matching pants. If it's not in the room, she will change into other favorite clothes. Also, whenever we put her jammies on, which we let her pick out, she then changes into other jammies and usually starts to cry because she gets stuck. I have gone in many nights to find her asleep behind her door, only wearing a diaper, or just pants, or clothes on backwards or any other combination.

She also likes to sleep on the floor in front of the door. Many times she will bring her pillow, blankets, and stuffed animals over to the door and make herself a little bed. She is such a crackup!

Anyway, that's all I can think of right now but she sure is a bright spot in my life, I love you little Allie!!


Her favorite outfit!!


Her hair is long enough for a pony tail, I love it!


This was what we found one night after she went to bed, all of the stuff from her drawers on her bed with her, what a silly girl!
