3 Years,8 Months...Being the little sister

I got to go to a play date at Bella's house.  I really wish I could have my own play dates and ask regularly!  It doesn't seem fair that Ellie gets together with her friends all the time and I don't get to do that.
I've also been to a lot of Ellie's soccer games.  I'm ready to have some of my own, although I love it when my grandparents come!  I get lots of attention then!  All 6 of my grandparents were at one game this month!
Our family has done some fun things together too this month.  We have had several family movie nights and have gone to Catherine's birthday party.  My preschool had the potluck dinner and book fair and I enjoyed having every come to that.  Daddy has also been picking me up some and that has been great!  I'm glad he isn't gone so much in the evenings anymore.
We also went to South Farm showcase again and did so many fun things.  We did a big corn maze, went on a mule-driven carriage ride, and saw so many animals!  This month, we also went apple picking and went to a winery to meet up with Auntie Heather and her family.  I had a lot of fun running around and playing bocce ball with Ellie, Ashley, and Ian.  We also went to the Mizzou Homecoming parade.  There were so many interesting people and floats and sounds!  I really loved seeing the Weiner mobile!  The best part was the candy, of course!
Mommy took Ellie and me to a My Little Pony party at the library.  They had a lot of interesting activities and games.  I really love those ponies!  Mommy also took me to a Parents as Teachers event-Mother Goose and Dr. Seuss.  There were fun activities there too.  Miss Katrice was there, but I didn't recognize her because she had a Mother Goose bonnet on!
I have still been struggling with sleep.  I wake up a lot during the night and get up early.  I'm also getting out of my room a lot before I go to sleep.  Daddy even locked the door one night when I wouldn't stay in bed!  One day, I got mad and laid on the floor and started kicking the door.  My version of the story goes like this: "Daddy put on his angry face and opened the door on my foot!"  The truth is, he thought my legs were on the door, not under it, but he was angry!  Being 3 is hard!
