My Piano Recital

When I woke up yesterday I was so excited. "Today is a big day!"  I told my dad that I was very excited.  My dad said he was excited, too.  And then I told my dad that all that was going through my mind since I'd heard about the piano recital was the piano recital!  My dad said that all that was going through his mind since he heard about the piano recital was the piano recital!

My grandma and grandpa came to my piano recital, too. They were very excited to see me play.

I was second to play.  We got there very early.  This was our first time being anywhere early.  When we got there, there were a few persons there before us, but it was a long time to wait before the other people started to play piano.

 First somebody else played, and then I came out.  I walked down the aisle holding my book.  First I played "Matt, My Cat" and then I played "Tucker's Secret Life."  It was very fun. 

Everybody had to leave except me and my Grandma.  Anna was talking too much to Grandma, so Daddy had to take her back.  Then Grandpa went to take a walk with Luke.  And, Ally would not nurse with all the other persons, so Mommy had to take her back, too.  Then in the end, all that was left was me, my Grandma, my sweater, and Luke's shoe.

How I Potty Trained Anna

One time Anna went potty in the toilet, so we gave her a sticker chart to get the Lego Toy Story Scary Incinerator.  Mommy was like, "Okay, whenever you're ready to go potty, go in," but I gave her coloring stuff to take in the bathroom, so she could go potty.  Well, she didn't go potty, but this is how I potty trained her.

 This is how many stickers she got at first, but there's a lot more to get.  Mommy was very excited.  This was her first sticker chart.  Anna was learning to go potty in the toilet.  I was very proud of her the first time.

 First to teach her how to go potty in the toilet was to not let her wear anything on her bottom.  It worked pretty well, but then one day we were ready for underpants for my sister Anna.  I was very excited.  At first she had a few accidents, but then she got the idea.

 Mommy was so excited about potty in the toilet, that she had to take a picture of it.  Well, you can't really see the potty, but you can see the toilet really well.



Gingerbread

We made a gingerbread village.  First we made Santa's house, then the toy shop, then the challet, then the bakery, and then the candy shop.  We were still wearing our pajamas.   

I made the toy shop just like it said.  I made a few changes to it, because we didn't have enough of the candy, but it still looked beautiful.  I can't believe that the roof goes up, down, and then a little line that goes straight.  We started eating the village already.

Then we made the train going to the village, bringing tree branches and wood for the cold winter days in the village.

I really like the gingerbread village.  It is really tasty.  I wonder if the village will be a Santa shop village...

The gingerbread train and village is so yummy.  Dad doesn't like gingerbread, but he took a little piece of the gingerbread.
