3 Years, 10 Months...Asserting my independence!

More to come!
I really enjoyed our Thanksgiving break!  We had a fun feast at preschool before break started.  Our family went to the Mizzou volleyball game that night, and there was so much to see.  I got to meet Owi Kwekwoe (Ali Kreklow) after the game and she asked for a hug!  The next day we went to Washington for Thanksgiving at Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom's, and Papa Ron and Nana Carol's the next day.  We topped the trip off with the annual holiday parade.  I was super crazy silly during it.  We had Thanksgiving at Nana Arden and Papa Rodney's that Sunday after putting up all the Christmas decorations.
I have continued with dance classes this month, and they will resume after the new year.  I got to go to my friend Caleb's birthday party at a gymnastics place and had so much fun running around, doing the obstacle courses they set up, and making a few of my own!  I've been doing a lot of tagging along too.  I went to Ellie's Christmas concert for school.  I have a hard time remembering that I need to be silent during certain things.  I also went to a play date, and went to the Magic Tree lighting!  We have also had some family time lately at home and it has been nice to hang out here.
I have struggled with staying in my room and bed at bedtime.  I keep getting out (sometimes up to 10 times and 2 hours later.)  Mommy and Daddy keep saying that my brain and body need rest, but I just want to know what I am missing out on.  (I've heard Mommy did this when she was younger, so I don't know why she doesn't understand!)  In addition to this, I have been throwing some pretty good fits when I don't get what I want.  They don't go over very well.  I also started to lose my voice this month and it sounded really funny!
A couple of funny things I have said...Mommy often calls me Ellie by mistake and one time I said, "You just called me Ellie.  That's NOT my name!"  When I hurt myself, I often say, "Can I have a bandage?"
Fun in the leaves!
Yum, yum!  Turkey Day!
