Week in Wilsonville January 2008

These photos are from the first three days in Wilsonville--where daddy has training! We arrived on Monday after three hours --I was a great traveler and slept the last 45 minutes to the hotel! We spent the afternoon dancing and exploring the room--yahoo! We went to MOE'S (burito place) for dinner and brought it back to our room--Mommy then took me swimming for about 45 min while daddy tried to catch up on some much needed sleep from working this weekend! I was so excited to use my new sleeping bag and fell asleep great about 9:oo pm. We all were exausted tonight!! I did wake up at 1:30 am and was confused where I was--I then decide to stay up until 4 am--when sleep overtook--My parents had to wake me at 7:45 am to take daddy to training center! Tuesday was a quick day---as we came back at 8 am ater droping daddy off and snuggled on the bed watching Mickey Mouse club. Went to breakfast and then to storytime at the library at 10:30 am--well they changed storytime on Tuesdays to 6:30 pm --so have you ever been 8 hours early to something!! ha! Gretchen and mommy bought two movies and a Pooh book for .50 cents at the library (I usually "buy books " when I check them out---but these we really bought:)) We then read two books in the children's corner ,played on the chalkboard and played with the puppets and the doll house and then on the computer!! I was so excited I figured out how the mouse on the computer worked all BYSELF----I found Blues Clue mommy!!! I also went down for a nap excellent and slept three hours until 3 pm--so nice mommy got to scrapbook a little! Got daddy went to Sharis for dinner and then storytime--which I did not move the whole time sitting on daddy's lap---afterwards I loved the story with the paper hat and the take home craft was an umbrella!! We did the craft once we got back to our room--good thing mommy brought a scissors,crayons and glue stick!! (smart mom) I went to bed and slept all night!! I did stand up and say MOM (in the middle of the night)--she put me back in bed and seconds later I was asleep! Wednesday was rainy and we got dressed and ate breakfast with daddy here at the hotel-mommy and I went to get gas at Costco --errands at Target and then TO SEE THE ANIMALS---??? AT Petco----ha! I tried to pick out cans of cat food for MEOW (Tashja) but mommy was buying a whole case! We then went to Albertsons to get milk----Hermiston has no Albertsons-I fell asleep seconds before we pulled into the parking lot--so when I was unbuckled I laid my head on mommy's shoulder(9:30 am) BUT they had coool CAR CARTS to ride in and I soon perked up!!! Mom showed be the live lobsters and we went on every aisle-we bought milk and macaroni and cheese!! That was a highlight!!! I was clapping and so excited! We got back to the room and it was only 10:15 am!! Mommy says THE FUN IS NOT OVER--we could go swimming!! Wow did we have a blast!! AND guess what Mac and cheese for lunch---after lunch mommy turned around in the room and panicked she did not see me--I was lying in the middle of the bed and ready to SLEEP!!! Tooo cute!! I slept until 1:45 pm--and then we watched Wiggles Cowboys in the lobby as they cleaned our room---eating whale crackers!!! The fun did not stop===I got to ride on the luggage cart and elevator and then the lady at the front desk gave me a plate of 3 cookies to take back to our room!!! I wanted to carry it all BYSELF!! We picked daddy up and went to RED ROBIN!! For some reason I have not been good at Red Robn the last four times!! I did get a hot pink balloon when we got back to the room POP!! oh well!!! I went to bad at 8:40 so good again! Daddy had a terrible migrane --mom nursed him back to health and made him go to bed by ten---she then played on my website and others until 1 am!! At 3:30 am I sat up and said Mommy read me a story (hee hee) Guess it was better than crying like the first night. I tossed and turned until about 4:15 am---mommy fell asleep again sitting on the floor next to the couch---So when she woke up it was 5:04 am and went to bed and I woke back up before the alarm went off at 6:20 am--I was very warm and we watched cartoons when I started coughing and then............threw up (in the sink) good reaction for mommy!! I popped out of it fast and we went down to breakfast about 7:30--I ate english muffin and wanted apple juice but mommy said NO just water!! I ate cereal and the rest of my mufin when we came back from daddy's training!! I watched NEMO and we went to storytime again!!! I wore my new jumpy tights today and boy can I jump high in stripes!!! I asked to take a nap----Slept from 11:50 am to 2:15 pm. My mom even laid down for half an hour----should have been longer!! Tonight we went to get daddy and went to FRYS (electronic) and then to dinner at Chillis-----I asked the waitress for a booster seat please without even being told to. (I have noticed G talks to strangers more readily than turning her head away now she can talk better) She talked to the housekeeper and the lady at the front desk she gave a wave tooo!! As soon as we left the front desk Gretchen turns to me and says-THATS A NICE LADY!! (funny because I have really been working on her saying hi or even looking at people when they talk to her) She almost made it through dinner but clung onto my neck and wanted to be held---ugh!! Daddy has been kicked out of the room about 8:30-9:00 pm (ha ha) so it will be dark and QUIET for her to go to sleep---well tonight daddy went to a movie----of course G stalled and stalled tonight--I have to go potty, I want to see daddy, I want to watch tv, read me another book!! Finally at 9:45 pm she fell asleep :) Daddy and Mommy sat in bed and read with flashlights--OH the life of parenthood!!! She had a hard night all the way around woke up 4 times---only once crying--daddy warmed the bottle---I thought it she was getting sick and very warm again--that was not the reason---and I still have no reason--but am looking forward to a night at HOME--where she sleeps through the night again!! Friday morning daddy left us at the hotel and went to his last couple hours of training---G said DADDY GO TO SCHOOL WITH MACKY (MACK) tooo cute!! Thursday morning we ate breakfast with Mack and G just sat and listened to daddy and Mack talk---when I came back from getting her food she whispered to me---can I talk now!! (How polite this time) HA! The morning went fast and for some reason when she wears her "pink deer jammies"--she NEVER wants to take the top off the next morning--cries and grabs it to keep it on--so guess what she wore it all day with pink stretch pants!! This is the 2nd time I figured it won't hurt to wear her top!! We had an uneventful trip home--which was good! Rainy most of the way and got home at 3:30 pm!
