Trudy has resisted all attempts of your re-training her to sleep with you. You are toying with the idea of dressing as Cruella DeVille on the 31st.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b.) You keep coming back to dressing as a firetruck for Halloween, not a fireman - a firetruck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c.) Fall has you tweaked. You love decorating with leaves, taking pictures of leaves, watching them fall and raking them up and jumping in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d.) Hattie the Cattie inaugurated your adoration of cats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;e.) Alligators rule. You asked for one for your birthday, didn't get it, so now you've put in on your Christmas list. These road signs in Florida cracked you up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;f.) You love music, listen to nearly all kinds, and ask that we please put in on your ipod. Since you've seen the Nano comes in green, that's on your list, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g.) After finding a Ninja Turtle book in the bookstore, you are OBSESSED. You ask everyone to call you Raphael, and must inspect every sewer grate to make sure they're not visible. You've told a lot of confused strangers you want to live in the sewer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;h.) You are fascinated with writing letters, specifically "N I N J A".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i.) Moe, our wet dry vac continues to be babied by you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;j.) Somewhere, somehow ballet finally appealed to you. You are begging, not for lessons, but for a stage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;k.) Jack o lantern's are pretty cool now.

It started with these silly names for your pet turtles: Pert, Mert, and Gert. It got really goofy as we added more turtles, Shirt, Hurt and Dirt. Most recently, a neighborhood cat adopted our yard and when you decided to name her, I assume Dr. Suess helped out here, too; we now care for Hat the Cat, who 's name has evolved into Hattie the Cattie. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_X6XakBqGREs/SrvIhyPYx8I/AAAAAAAACQI/MUUXenDarX8/s1600-h/Picture+11.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 152px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_X6XakBqGREs/SrvIhyPYx8I/AAAAAAAACQI/MUUXenDarX8/s320/Picture+11.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385118262199109570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;But the concept doesn't always translate, and you've had a couple that crack us up. For instance, when you saw the Statue of Liberty one time, you asked, "Hey! That's the Statue of Liberty! ...

The early mornings I once feared have evolved into a special morning ritual. Amazingly, you began - the first day - waking up all by yourself around 7am. Unbelievable, since up until then you were sleeping in until at least 9am! You are the sweetest alarm clock. You brave the stairs and climb into bed with us, asking for my hand as we cuddle for a good half hour interrupted  only by some tickle giggles  when we're (make that me) finally ready to move out to the couch for some "Dinosaur Train" and breakfast. You love your dresses and cheerfully dress yourself before slipping on your turtle pack-pack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When your teacher fetches you from the car, you blow me a kiss and even once offered the sentiment, "It won't be a long time, mom."  I watch you, with your teacher, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;hand in hand, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt; walk back to class and always crack up to see you start in immediately chatting with her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picking you up is even more fun, as you are quick to unpack your turtle to show off the coolest art projects. I've been waiting a long time to cover our fridge in your artwork! Do you know before you could even hold a crayon, I'd dip your hands in ink and make fingerprint art with you. Your artwork makes me happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The funniest experience so far would have to be your refusal to participate in "P" week. Since "B" is your favorite, you told your teacher "No thank you" and drew an extra circle on your practice "P's" giving them "B" makeovers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are an original.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photo inspiration: &lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.blonde-designs.com/"&gt;Blonde&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8653846777829172719-8009010518560241229?l=amazingannagrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://amazingannagrace.blogspot.com/feeds/8009010518560241229/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8653846777829172719&amp;postID=8009010518560241229' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8653846777829172719/posts/default/8009010518560241229'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8653846777829172719/posts/default/8009010518560241229'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://amazingannagrace.blogspot.com/2009/09/school-days.html' title='School Days.'/><author><name>Rebecca</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02256471632170588840</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_X6XakBqGREs/R7zuRQIwRyI/AAAAAAAAAng/9bLXTD_0U8A/S220/profile+icon.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_X6XakBqGREs/Sru4Rib_a4I/AAAAAAAACPo/OZWjEm0ARmI/s72-c/Picture+1.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8653846777829172719.post-4560714750822586208</id><published>2009-09-11T10:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-11T10:56:21.190-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='You Have to Write that Down'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Famous Quotes'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_X6XakBqGREs/SqqG2IimsxI/AAAAAAAACNo/_t6dWoR2i30/s1600-h/Picture+24.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 357px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_X6XakBqGREs/SqqG2IimsxI/AAAAAAAACNo/_t6dWoR2i30/s400/Picture+24.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380260969411162898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;For several months, the topic of death has been an ongoing subject in our home.

For instance, you thought you lost your special turtle necklace daddy gave you, but after days of searching you finally found it and completely on your own you closed your eyes and said, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Thank you Jesus for helping find my turtle necklace. I love it SO much. He helped me find it mommy!&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;And when you received a little stuffed turtle as a treat for a great first day of preschool, I saw you in the rear view mirror, your little eyebrows raised high and big eyes closed, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;"Thank you for my turtle God!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;You are also learning a lot about God's ability to comfort us when we are in pain. When I bumped a bruise on my knee, you saw me wince and sit down in pain. You hurried to my side and said, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"It's okay mommy, Jesus can help you feel better. I can pray for you ... "&lt;/span&gt; and you did just that. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8653846777829172719-4521305456657251188?l=amazingannagrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://amazingannagrace.blogspot.com/feeds/4521305456657251188/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8653846777829172719&amp;postID=4521305456657251188' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8653846777829172719/posts/default/4521305456657251188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8653846777829172719/posts/default/4521305456657251188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://amazingannagrace.blogspot.com/2009/09/learning-how-to-pray.html' title='Learning How to Pray.'/><author><name>Rebecca</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02256471632170588840</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_X6XakBqGREs/R7zuRQIwRyI/AAAAAAAAAng/9bLXTD_0U8A/S220/profile+icon.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_X6XakBqGREs/SqxVseVHjyI/AAAAAAAACOo/_R70wYwq8UI/s72-c/Picture+29.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8653846777829172719.post-6957975874060941233</id><published>2009-09-10T12:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-11T12:23:15.860-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Famous Quotes'/><title type='text'>Literal world of preschoolers.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_X6XakBqGREs/Sqqi6LAtvJI/AAAAAAAACOA/m8ya6wYxLRc/s1600-h/Picture+39.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 380px; height: 314px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_X6XakBqGREs/Sqqi6LAtvJI/AAAAAAAACOA/m8ya6wYxLRc/s400/Picture+39.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380291825119378578" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" &gt;You asked our waitress her name last night, and she told you, "Mary."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You lit up and exclaimed, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Mary?!

You were excited to explain you were all ready for date night, "just like mommy." I figured out you were used to seeing me get dressed up for date nights with dad and it was time you did the same.

I suspect that prior to Memphis moving in next door, you weren't too fond of someone else getting more attention than you. Then all of the sudden, you meet Memphis and decide he's the next coolest thing to ladybugs and Buzz Lightyear. I noticed recently that when you talk about him you use the pronoun "she." I explained that Memphis was a "he," a little boy. You got a faraway look in your eyes, thought for a minute and said, "I'm just gonna call him a she."

Their slime did not deter you, you collected at least a dozen and giggled as they crawled in your hands.

However, when we got to the pool, you were more entertained by standing at the edge and by throwing all these items into the pool. When we were walking back to our room later - I was the only one who got wet by the way - you said "That was fun swimming mom."&lt;br /&gt;4 :: Mr. Peanut made your day while grocery shopping. He's the only other soul you've found besides Archie who sports a monocle.&lt;br /&gt;5 :: The Rumor Weed, of Veggietales, is your new obsession. You dress up in a green sweatsuit with red lips and pink glasses and say, "I'm the Ruma Weed," then you ask, "Am I cracking you up?" and laugh at yourself.&lt;br /&gt;6 :: We've been painting our house this month. You are eager to contribute. You are not fooled when we ask you to "help" dust off the baseboards.&lt;br /&gt;7 :: Pitstop :: Your genious daddy figured this one out. Since you love to pretend you're a raacecar, we now have frequent pit stops throughout our day. I still can't believe I can wash your face, comb your hair and brush your teeth with no resistance. And your beverages? Milk or Water - that goes by clear or white gas.&lt;br /&gt;8 :: The phone. Annie, dear, you assume every phone call is for you.&lt;br /&gt;9 :: Your trike. This you do not call a trike. It is your moped. Archie style.&lt;br /&gt;10 :: Red Keds. The shoes you begged for, you loved them for just a few days before number 1 came into effect. They are now out of commission.&lt;br /&gt;11 :: Archie. What can I say. I think he's here to stay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8653846777829172719-3152662064286199416?l=amazingannagrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://amazingannagrace.blogspot.com/feeds/3152662064286199416/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8653846777829172719&amp;postID=3152662064286199416' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8653846777829172719/posts/default/3152662064286199416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8653846777829172719/posts/default/3152662064286199416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://amazingannagrace.blogspot.com/2009/04/march-amazing-grace-snags-best-actress.html' title='March: Amazing Grace Snags Best Actress'/><author><name>Rebecca</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02256471632170588840</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_X6XakBqGREs/R7zuRQIwRyI/AAAAAAAAAng/9bLXTD_0U8A/S220/profile+icon.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_X6XakBqGREs/Sduouy0p0OI/AAAAAAAAB_I/fLN2mAh6Ios/s72-c/Picture+30.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8653846777829172719.post-3433372950899332789</id><published>2009-04-01T08:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-02T13:41:50.560-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='You Have to Write that Down'/><title type='text'>The Case for Shopping Cart Seatbelts.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_X6XakBqGREs/SdtvO2gs78I/AAAAAAAAB-4/L9aYg27YlJ4/s1600-h/Picture+7.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 112px; height: 209px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_X6XakBqGREs/SdtvO2gs78I/AAAAAAAAB-4/L9aYg27YlJ4/s320/Picture+7.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321969685609902018" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;You nearly fell out of the cart at the grocery store today; while I was distracted by my shopping list, you scrambled to grab a jar with Mr. Peanut.

Now you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:lucida grande;" &gt;really know&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt; your ABC's. You are so proud to write your three favorites anywhere you're allowed: A (Anna) O (because it looks like Eve) and W (which you are quick to explain is the first letter of Wall-e, Wingo and Whale)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. You greatly anticipate receiving letters and writing them, as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Money is becoming a hot commodity to you, since you've comprehended just how much a buck can buy you at the Dollar Store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Counting is an entertaining pastime which is more fun, you insist, if we do it together. So we count. And count. Nearly everything we see, we count.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. You'd be content to spend the majority of your day painting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. You have amassed a pretty impressive stockpile of city names, you llike to reaffirm your knowledge. Alot. "Does Grammy just live in Virginga? and "Is Grandpa in Philly-delph-yee-a? We are just in Hershey now? And Daddy's office? It's in Harrisburg Pecil-banya?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Days of the week, months and seasons are exciting markers of time. "Is it just Spring yet?" and "Is it Friday mom?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. When you 'read' a book out loud, mainly to patient Trudy, I have to eavesdrop. Your version is always much better than the written one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8653846777829172719-7850329919012997634?l=amazingannagrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://amazingannagrace.blogspot.com/feeds/7850329919012997634/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8653846777829172719&amp;postID=7850329919012997634' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8653846777829172719/posts/default/7850329919012997634'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8653846777829172719/posts/default/7850329919012997634'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://amazingannagrace.blogspot.com/2009/03/february-little-schoolgirl.html' title='January: Little Schoolgirl'/><author><name>Rebecca</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02256471632170588840</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_X6XakBqGREs/R7zuRQIwRyI/AAAAAAAAAng/9bLXTD_0U8A/S220/profile+icon.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_X6XakBqGREs/SbQ7vLg3FxI/AAAAAAAAB74/f9yWY914Itg/s72-c/Picture+11.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8653846777829172719.post-4945685802735420202</id><published>2009-01-03T11:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-04T18:30:31.146-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lesser Known Lyrics'/><title type='text'>I Will Be Joyce.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_X6XakBqGREs/SYib8PUsSpI/AAAAAAAABzs/g0wp36p6sRo/s1600-h/Picture+43.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
