What I'm talking about

This is Dayona'a mommy reporting on some things she has been saying recently. She had been watching kung fu panda and came into her nana and papa Smallwoods bedroom and said, "lets kick some whiny butt!" She also told Jason and me that later that night. She told me she spanked daddy and that it was an accident. Nana Smallwood got her a new backpack, which she took to Felicias, when they got home Nana discovered Day had filled it with blocks. When she asked her where the blocks came from Day said, "I think they might be Felicia's." The other day she told me she was "going to work." When I ask her why she said, "for the money". When I ask her where she said "for papa". Then I ask her what she was going to do. She put her boots on and said, "go to the barn, with sheep, and pigs, and cows." She told me it was for "Papa Byrd." Jason and I are treated night to Day Day's Music Show. She usually sings then bows and says thank you thank you. She will also tell us if we forget to clap. Right now, we just got back from a b-day party, and Day is singing happy birthday to barney asking me where his presents and cupcake are. This girl keeps us on our toes. You never know what she might say. Yes Day, Barney is special!

Old MacDonald Had a Farm

Today Mommy and Daddy took me to the pumpkin patch. I liked the animals as always, but I have a new favorite this year. I really liked a little red "house". I kept calling it my house. Mommy and Daddy had to knock on the door, so I could let them in. I told them I didn't have any toys in my house. I fed the cow, goats, donkey, and miniature horse. I also picked out my own pumpkin, which I kept trying to throw like a ball. On the way there and back I kept singing Old MacDonald had a Farm. I love to sing. It was so much fun. I didn't want to leave "my house!"

Trip to the ER

Well I went to the ER last Tuesday night. Mommy and Daddy took me around 10:00 pm, and we didn't leave until 4:00 in the morning on Wednesday. I hit my head on the edge of a rocking chair. I didn't fall asleep that night until around 2 in the morning. My boo-boo didn't stop me from singing, jumping, and just "giving Mommy heart attacks" in general while waiting in the waiting room. The doctor said it did need stitches. Dr. Lamb did a great job on my stiches. Daddy and a nurse had to hold me down. I cried, especially at first, but then I was a very brave girl. The nurse told me that in just a little bit she would show me my stitches and that helped me to calm down. I have three stitches. I am very proud of my boo-boo.

32 months old

Me and Kenna. I love Kenna. "She's my family"!

Mommy has been really surprised at some of the words I am saying right now. I have said telescope, interesting, delicious, tasty, and disgusting. My daddy has been gone for 2 weeks now and I miss him very much. When I was on the phone with him the other day I was drawing and I said "I draw a heart for you daddy". I actually drew a heart. I like to "write my name" (scribbles). I know circle and triangle, and sometimes square. I am learning my colors too. I know red, blue, and pink really well. Sometimes I know green, yellow, and orange. I can read 4 words, tiger, hi, dog, and elephant. I love to throw balls, race, play doctor, play brothers and sisters at school, and have picnics in my room.

Hinton Fair 09

This year at the fair I was all about the games. The first night I went to play the ducks. I saw a big stuffed duck and said "I want that duck." To get the duck you have to get the 0 duck, and there is only one of those. I must be one lucky girl because I picked it TWICE. Thats right after I picked it once they put it back in and I picked it up again. I also loved to play the game where you knocked down bottles, well I love any games with balls. Here are some pictures from my games.


This is the duck I won. I could've gotten two of them but they didn't have two there so we told them 1 was enough.

I also raced a turtle in the turtle races at the fair. Thanks Papa Dennis for finding my turtle. He didn't win but he tried really hard. Mommy, Daddy, and I took him to the pond to be with his Mommy after the races. I loved my turtle. His name was speedy. My cousin Alyssa also brought a turtle to race. We wanted to enter the leap frog race. We tried real hard and with a little more practice I think we could've done it! Maybe next year. Here are some pics from the turtle race.

The race. Come on Speedy!

This is me with my two biggest prizes at the fair. The blue and pink thing is a frog. I won him by throwing footballs!I can't believe I won them "all by myself." I say that alot!

Stuff about me lately

Well here are some recent funny conversations I've had with Day recently. The first one: Day is pretending to be on the phone, she answers it talks for a little bit and then says bye. When I ask her who it was she says, "Sam, Sam loves me." Aww how sweet. Then a couple weeks ago Jason and I were in chillis and when the waitress came over Day ask said, "I would like a cheese sandwich please." Jason and I were surprised! She is a joy and I don't want to forget these moments! So far she loves her new "school". She told me she loved Mrs. Felicia. ALso after church today Day ask me to take her dress off "to be comfortable" in her words!

The Hair Doctor

This was Dayona's first trip to the beauty shop, or "hair doctor" as Day called it. She got her bangs trimmed and sat very still for Debbie. Lately her favorite movie has been Shrek 3. She loves at the first when pinocino flies through the screen, and she loves that Shrek has babies. At the fish fry last Sunday, we had to distract her from putting bottles in the mouths of two twin babies. She has also been pretending like there is a dinosaur or dragon that we need to hid from. She is very sweet. She likes to tell me that I have to share, when we get onto her she says I'm sorry mommy or daddy. She still loves to be chased and loves to race or play hid and go seek. Also spankins in her words "don't hurt". (Of course she only gets them for running out in the street. ) Here are some pics from the hair doctor.
