Update
I'm in first grade now and am doing well in all of my subjects. I go to gymnastics on Saturdays and I play basketball after school on Mondays. Allison and I are also in Daisies (Girl Scouts for little girls). At the last meeting we made a boat out of boxes and other things to recycle them.
My favorite things to eat are grilled cheese sandwiches (the kind you get a restaurants, not the kind you make at home) and pizza with no sauce.
My favorite things to play with are my barbies, my groovy girls, and my polly pocket stuff.

Kindergarten
I'm in Kindergarten now! I go to school every day except on weekends.
I have a "My Little Pony" backpack and lunch bag.
Today I got my first homework.
My favorite things to do are play with my Barbie and Groovy Girl dolls and play cards (Crazy 8's and Go Fish).
Allison likes to play dress up, but I don't like to play dress up any more.

True Love
McDonald's and Quiznos are the only restaurants that I truly love.
Wrapping Presents
Elyssa: Wrapping presents is hard work.
Daddy: I know. It is hard. You don't have any elves to help you like Santa Claus does, do you?
Elyssa: No, but I have Allison and Corey.
Daddy: I know. It is hard. You don't have any elves to help you like Santa Claus does, do you?

Mommy: "We're going to go to a restaurant to get dinner and bring it home to eat"
Elyssa: "We can go to McDonald's or McDonald's with a Play Place...those are our choices."

Drawing
The other day I went to Grandma Molly's house for dinner. After dinner we did an art project. I painted a picture called "The Joy of the Ocean". It had joyful fishies and waves and little baby sharks that have colorful teeth. It makes your hair grow long.
I also drew a dark and spooky forest with a wolf howling to the moon.

Dentist
I went to the dentist for the first time the other day. I didn't whine or cry or anything. I sat in the chair and the dentist looked at my teeth and brushed them. They didn't even have to use a scraper because they said my teeth were already clean enough. At the end they gave me a princess toothbrush. Daddy said I have to go back to the dentist in a few months. I said "we can't go to the dentist every day!"

Princess Party
Today I went to my friend Emma's brithday party! We wore dress-up clothes and danced and had cupcakes and ice cream. There was a piñata and we played games too. I won a new magic wand! I had to ask where all of the boys from school were. Why weren't they at the party too?

Flashlight
Allison: The green flashlight is broken Daddy!
Daddy: The old green flashlight or the new green flashlight?
Allison: The old green flashlight.
Daddy: You're right, the flashlight is broken and Daddy can't fix it. I tried to fix it but I couldn't.
Elyssa: Maybe Uncle Bill could fix it. Uncle Bill has the new kind of batteries. Uncle Bill has the right batteries to fit the flashlight.

Candy Cane
I got a Candy Cane at school today! Allison didn't get one :( Mommy said I had to either share it with Allison or I had to wait and eat it when Daddy brought another one for Allison. At first I was going to wait, but then I really wanted to taste the candy cane so I shared it with Allison. Then I called Daddy on the telephone to tell him that I shared my Candy Cane with Allison. He is so proud of me for sharing :)

"I Took Off Like A Shot"
Allison and I love playing at the McDonald's Playplace! We like to climb up in the tree and slide down the fast purple spiral slide. After we go down the slide we say "I took off like a shot". That's what the little bunny did in the Curious George story.

PonyTail
I asked Mommy to put my hair in a pony tail for the first time - she was shocked!! Now I look so pretty in my dresses, tights, and new hairdo!

Going To The Zoo...Or Back Home
Last Saturday Mommy and Daddy took us to the zoo...or at least they tried to. At first I didn't want to go because I didn't want to wear long pants and a long sleeve shirt. But after a while Mommy and Daddy talked me into it.
So we all got in the minivan and started driving to the zoo. We were almost there, but all of a sudden I threw up all over the place. Lambie and Little Dog and Kitty all got throw-up on them so Daddy had to put them in the washing machine when we got home. I am feeling better now so hopefully Mommy and Daddy will take us to the zoo this weekend :)

New Baby Brother
I have a new baby brother! His name is Corey. Here is a link to his blog: Corey's Blog. At first I was a little vervous about having a new brother, but now I like him. Tonight I helped daddy give him a bath.

Custom Wood Chairs
My Dad's Uncle Nib made us these really great chairs. Allison and I have a lot of fun sitting on them, standing on them, climbing on them, and putting our dolls and stuffed animals on them.

County Fair
Last weekend Mommy and Daddy took us to the fair! Okay so we cheated and went to the fair in the next county over :)
We saw lots of animals: pigs, goats, alpacas, cows, rabbits, chickens, and roosters. We also ate some soft warm pretzels - yummy! Here are some pictures of me on some of the rides. Allison couldn't ride any rides yet beecause she's too little.

Mouse
I am getting really good at playing computer games. I can move the mouse and click on different things on the screen to make lots of neat things happen. Daddy only has to help me sometimes when I get frustrated.
My favorite games are "Duckie" and "Frankie". I sing songs with Frankie and do lots of stuff with with Duckie I am learning colors, shapes, numbers, and letters.

Singing
I'm getting pretty good at singing songs. My favorite is the ABC song. I like to sing it all by myself. I can sing most of it and I usually only skip a few letters. I also like to sing 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star' and 'Down By The Station'.

Backyard Picnic
Today Daddy and I had a picnic in the back yard underneath the swingset! The swingset has a picnic table and benches underneath the fort. We had some apple and some Ritz crackers with peanut butter. After we ate lunch, we went on the swings for a little while.

Airport
The other day, my daddy took me to the airport to see Uncle Bill's airplane. I saw lots of airplanes there. I saw some taking off and some landing. I had so much fun that every day I ask Daddy if we can go back to the airport to see more planes.

Circus
Mommy and Daddy took me to the circus today! I got to see camels, elephants, horses, and llamas. I liked seeing the animals but I wasn't too impressed with the acrobats and other performers. It was also really hot and I was really tired so we left before the show was over.

Dancing
Mommy has been taking me to a music class once a week. For the first few weeks I wasn't really into it except I did like playing the drum. Now I'm getting the hang of it. When Mommy and Daddy took Allison and me out for dinner tonight, we went to a restaurant than played some really cool 80s music (whatever that is). Anyway, I had fun dancing to the music for about 20 minutes after dinner. Then when we got home, I danced some more along with the music and videos in one of my computer games.
Painting
Grandma Molly brought over some paint the other day and I had tons of fun painting. It was so much fun that I asked Mommy and Daddy if I could paint some more after dinner that same night - and I have been painting almost every day since then. Here are some of my paintings.

Home Depot
Mommy and Daddy took Allison and me to Home Depot yesterday. I used to like to go there and look at all of the fans and lights. But yesterday I found something more fun, the bathroom section. I flushed and looked inside every toilet. Then Daddy helped me up so I could pretend to wash my hand in all of the sinks on display.

1..2..3...
Today I counted all the way from 1 to 6 all by myself. And then, with a little help from Daddy, I got all the way to 9!!!
I had a really fun weekend. Some painters came and painted my room pink. They painted Mommy and Daddy's room green and they painted another bedroom yellow. Everything was really dirty while they were here, but everything looks really nice now.
Mommy took Allison and me to the park on Saturday. When we went home, I played outside with Daddy on the back porch.

Fun Stuff
I have been having a lot of fun lately playing in my cardboard house with Mommy and Daddy.
I also got a new basketball hoop and a basketball. It is so much fun that it prompted me so say my first 3 word phrase "I dunk it".

Getting Sick...Again
Today I had a pretty rough day. I'm not feeling too well. I think I might have an ear infection. I did have some fun though - Dad let me help give Allison a bath! He let me use a bottle to rinse off her back, arms, toes, and head.

New Foods
I have been trying lots of new foods lately. Broccoli and beans are become regular items on my menu.
I also tried taco beef the other night. It was so good I had 4 helpings. I was also very disappointed when I asked for it the next night and Daddy said we didn't have any more. Then Daddy offered me some pizza and I was happy again :)

My 2nd Birthday Party
Thanks to everyone who came to my birthday party! I am 2 years old now!
We went to Chuck E. Cheese's and had pizza and french fries and a choclate birthday cake with Winnie The Pooh on it. Since I don't really know how to blow yet, Jamie, Ben, and Alec had to help me blow out the candles.
I liked the rides and I liked watching my cousins playing games. Aside from eating cake, my favorite thing was shaking my cup of tokens.
Also, thank you for the presents. I am really looking forward to playing with all of them.

Sleigh Ride
Today I went out and played in the snow for the first time. Mommy pulled me on the sled that Grandma Carol and Grandpa Bill got for me last year. Unfortunately, I could only stay out and play for a few minutes because it ws really cold :(
Click here for a few pictures of me on the sled and a few pictures of Allison :)

My Favorite Foods
Most of the time I like to eat cereal bars for breakfast. For lunch and dinner I like to eat some kind of bread with ricotta cheese, butter, and jelly...yummy.
Yesterday I ate some kielbasa for the first time. I also learned from Daddy that barbeque sauce makes lots of foods taste good.
