Today my pride and joy turns 4 and while I try to keep most of her comings and goings out of this blog I figured you guys might get a kick out of some things I’ve documented over the past year of things she’s said.

Ally has a sore throat so Megan got her a milkshake at McDonald’s. She asked if the shake makes her throat feel better, she said “No, trick or treating for chocolate makes me feel better.” Someone is obviously still in Halloween mode.

While working the Gladiators game, and the family having seats right behind me in the penalty box, Ally couldn’t understand why I couldn’t look back while the game was happening. She tried kicking the glass, banging on it and finally resorted to yelling “DADDY!!!” while lifting her shirt for all to see.

Ally is tired of not having a REAL baby brother or sister yet, so she has declared that she will have a baby in her tummy when she turns 4. (7-30-07 note – Today she’s 4 and she has a sister on the way next month. Hopefully she’s forgotten about this one.)

Megan and Ally are in a store and Megan says “Stop biting your nails”. She replies, in a very loud voice “I’m NOT biting my nails. I’m picking my nose!” Megan sees people in the aisle biting their lip trying not to laugh.

I’m with Ally at the park and it appears that a lot of kids have left behind items since it’s just us and another dad and his 2 kids. There are multiple sippies, hats, bags, and a soccer ball and I mention to her that people forgot a lot of stuff at the park today. Ally spots a woman lying out in the sun by herself by the baseball field and she says “Someone forgot their mommy too.”

Ally says “Grandma made me sad today.” We ask why. “She doesn’t let me put my butt in her face.”

As Megan is walking down the stairs to be greeted by us on Mother’s Day, she said “Mommy, we got you chocolate!! You want to share?”

Ally was being sassy and rude to Megan and Megan told her to be nice. All then said “You are giving me and baby sister a headache.” Keep in mind the baby isn’t born yet.

With Ally forgetting to use the “magic word” when requesting things, we will always ask “What’s the magic word?” She will then reply “Please”. That is, until this week. Now when we ask “What’s the magic word?” she will say “Abracadabra”.
I end today’s entry with a camera phone shot of how she plays a “pool party” with her dolls. On the surface, it’s a look into the innocent mind of a 4 year old since you obviously can’t swim in your clothes. But on the other hand, these parties are simply a hedonistic den of iniquity. Not included in the picture is Prince Eric, who also gets unclothed and is the luckiest man doll on Earth.
