Jacket

(Getting ready for bed)

Amelia: Daddy, you have to remember for my whole little kid life, when it is cold, I need a jacket for school and when it is hot, I don't need a jacket. OK?

Daddy: Sounds like a plan, sweetheart. I will remember that.

Mommy

Well, this week my Mommy is helping my Nami, so she had to get on a plane to go to her house. I miss her already, but I am happy to share my Mommy because if anyone can help Nami feel better, its my Mommy. She always knows the best thing to do to make me feel better.

Here is a letter that I wrote to her today:

It says:

Dear Mom, You're awesome. 

You're fun. I Love You

I cannot wait to give it to her when she gets home!

Diorama

Guess what? I have been working on a class project called a diorama. Sounds fancy, doesn't it? It has really been a lot of fun! I made a diorama of mountains and animals that live in the mountains. I got to use this stuff called paper mache. It is really is really neat! Then I got to get these neat animal figures to put in my diorama. It was a lot of fun and I want to make another one for my animals to play in.

Here is my finished diorama:

Scientists

Amelia: Daddy, do you know that the first people were scientists?

Daddy: Really? I think that you are right.

Amelia: Yeah, they were. I know.

Daddy: What kind of scientists were they?

Amelia: You know, scientists.

Daddy: Were they born with lab coats on?

Amelia: Yes.

Drawings

I love to draw pictures of my family and friends. Here are some pictures that I drew over the vacation, which I wish were just one more day.

This is a picture of my cousins Emery and Anderson and I. I really love being with them.

Here is a picture of Mommy, Daddy, my friend Bella and I:

Isn't my Mommy so beautiful? Of course, I have my princess crown on in this picture.

Smoothie

[Amelia is drawing in the back seat of the car with her smoothie in her cup holder next to her]

Mommy: Wow, this smoothie is really good. I think Daddy and I should have Amelia's smoothie too.

Amelia: Noooooo.

[silence]

Amelia: I'm waaaatching yoooou.

Anniversary Date Night

Today, Mommy and Daddy celebrated the anniversary of their first date and they wanted me to celebrate with them. Their first date happened on February 16th. Mommy and Daddy and I all celebrated by getting all dressed up and going out to a nice dinner and then we were going to go to see Beauty and the Beast.

Mommy and I wore very pretty dresses. I even got to wear a little makeup on my cheeks. My mommy looked so pretty.

Daddy wore a very nice outfit and picked us up to go on our date. He rang the doorbell and had a flower for each of us.

We went to a restaurant called Fino. It was really fancy. Much different than Torchy's Tacos. I got to have all sorts of new foods like pork belly, a beet salad with fried cheese, butternut squash pasta and lots of other good things. I even got to have my own special drink called a Shirley Temple. It was really good. 

Then we were going to go to a donut place called Gourdough's. We went outside to our car and we were all freeeeeeeeeeeeezing. We decided it was too cold to go to Gourdough's and instead went and got ice cream from the grocery store and went home, snugged up in Mommy and Daddy's bed and watched "How to Tame Your Dragon". What a nice evening.

Smiley face breakfast

I love Fruity Cheerios for breakfast. Mommy and Daddy say that it is good for me too. Daddy has been making pictures in my cereal in the morning. On Valentine's Day, he made a heart in my cereal and it was really neat when he poured the milk in because the picture stayed in one place, but just raised as the milk poured in.

Today he made me a smiley face. I really love my morning breakfast.

Shadow Day Part II

My day trying out the new school was AWESOME!! Everyone in the class I visited was really nice and the teacher the best! The class had four pets - a guinea pig, a mouse, and two fish. They were also growing baby chickens inside their eggs. The school was celebrating their 100th day of school so we did lots of things where we had to count to 100. I must have counted to 100 like 100 times! We had a party with cake (with 100 sprinkles) and lollypops. Yep, you've guessed it -- there were 100 of them, but I only got to eat one. We went to art class and gym. It was the best day.

Later on in the day I was having dinner with mommy and daddy and I turned to mommy and said, "Mom, I forgot to bring my 100 day of school project to school! All my friends had it but me." She then reminded me that I don't go there yet. Silly Amelia!!

Yesterday morning I was so upset because I had to go back to Primrose. I really wanted to go to my NEW school. Stay tuned! I'll let you know where mommy and daddy decide to send me!

Big day!

Tomorrow is a big day and I wanted to tell you all about it. Tomorrow I am going to go to "Shadow Day" at a new school! Mommy and Daddy are thinking about sending me to St. Francis next year and so tomorrow I get to go and spend a whole day with the kids at that school. I have to take my own lunch and a snack. I get to drive all the way up to work with mommy since the school is right near her work. It is going to be great!

I'll tell you all about it after tomorrow. Sorry I haven't written lately. I have so much going on that I haven't had a second to chat! xoxo

Luckiest Girl in the World

So Mom and Dad got me a new house. Yep... a house of my very own. It needs a little work but I think it will be a great place to hang out with my lovies, have people over, and just relax. Below is a quick picture of it before we started working on it. I'll post more once we are finished!

Nice Eyebrows

Daddy: OK, sweetheart, time for bed.

Amelia: OK. ... Daddy, you are the best daddy ever.

Daddy: Oh, punkin, that is really sweet of you to say. 

Amelia: and you have the best .... eyebrows ever.

 Daddy: Thank you, sweetheart.

Santa!

Last night we went to visit Santa. It was really awesome! Except when I got up there to tell him what I wanted for Christmas I totally forgot what I wanted!! I told Mommy we were going to need to send him a letter because I didn't tell him! I must do that tonight!! I must I must I must!!

Now what did I want again? Oh yes:

- a watch like mommy's
- teddy bear
- teddy dinosaur

Isn't my dress pretty? ... thank's Nami!!

Mommy... it's almost my turn!

He was very excited to meet me.
Mabel must have told him some great things about me.

We talked important business. He told me all about living at the north pole!

But I was so excited I forgot the real reason for the visit!  

Luminations at the Wildflower Center

Last weekend I went to the Wildflower Center with Auntie Aya, Emery, Anderson, Mommy and Daddy to see the beautiful luminaria. Mommy said there were 3,000 of them. I believe her because they were everywhere... and totally beautiful! We had such a fun time. There was music, ornament stations, and yummy food. We even got our faces painted! Emery got a snowman painted on her face, Anderson a Christmas tree, and I got Rudolph. He's the most famous reindeer of all you know.

Here are the Luminarias. They were so pretty!

And a few other pictures from the night. I can't wait to go back next year!!

Oh Mabel...

The trouble you get into.

Other days here's how I found her:

Snoozing in her own little house she made

Eating ice cream in the freezer

eating candy...and looking pretty sick.
