Story by Sydney

Sydney wanted to write a story.  I wrote as she dictated.  Pardon the poor punctuation.  I didn't want to detract from her point.

Once upon a time there was a castle with a prince and princess. They had a crown on and the princess had a ring on. One time, they had windows on their castle and then they had a baby.  The baby was a girl, she had long eyelashes and wore lovely lipstick.  The baby was hungry and she was thirsty too.  After she ate and drinked she went to sleep.  They she waked up.  She ate ballerina cereal when she waked up again.  Then she drinked when the mom was coming up to give her a babba.  And she was holding it.  The mom was holding it for her.  They had a flag on their castle.  Up on the top of their roof.  And the princess had a sparkle thing on her crown too.  And sparkly things on her shoes too. The prince had a circle magical thing on his crown too.  And he had little circle things on his shoes too.

Instagram

I just discovered instagram and wanted to document some pictures from our trip to the local coffee shop today.

Sydney was in a very crabby mood most of the time we were there.  She is such a sweetheart but there are days when I feel like I spend all of my time correcting her I know it's just a phase and I am ok with that.  

Daddy Daughter Day

Today Will took Sydney on what will hopefully be the first of many "Dates."  They went for lunch at a local Sushi resturant and then ended their time playing video games at a arcade near our home.  Sydney loves her Dad and has been a Daddy's girl since day 1.  They had so much fun together and I hope they are able to do it again soon.

Here she is, ready to go.

My Sweet Sydney

My oldest Sydney is about 3.5 going on 15 years old most days.  She is spunky, adorable, and pretty stinkin smart.

• You can not use the words "baby" and "Sydney" in the same sentence.  She will stop what she is doing and sternly inform you that she is not a baby. 
• She has such an imagination.  She takes her stuffed horse and "gallops" around the house. Keep in mind the stuffed horse is only about 12 inches tall.
• She informed me recently that my parents names were Papp and Grandma, not Dad and Mom.  She continued saying that if I did not call them by the correct names I would have to go to time out.
• When I told her it was time to turn off the TV, she told me that she wanted to go to a deserted island.  She claimed that was the only place she would be happy.

That kiddo is such a blessing.  We love you Sydney girl!
