3-year-old antics

Three-year-olds get to go on field trips at school and today I got to go to the pet store. My friends and I got to pet a bunny, guinea pig and a turtle. And we saw lots of other animals. I was especially interested in the tarantula. I kept coming back to check on him to see if he moved. Mommy let me pick out a kitty toy since Hero doesn't have any. I chose a fishing rod with a sparkly fish on the end. Then when I got home I put on my kitty costume and Daddy casted for me while I chased the fish. I giggled and giggled when he would pull the fish away. And Eliana would smile when she heard me giggling. It was a fun game! So far Hero hasn't gotten a chance to play with her toy.

After Daddy got tired of casting, Mommy played games with me. I beat her at Chutes and Ladders and Candy Land. She thought she was going to have a chance to win when it came to Memory, but I've finally got that game figured out. And I have a really great memory, so I won big! Mommy said, "Now you're going to kick my butt every time we play this game, too!" Then I ran around behind her and kicked her butt! She laughed and said, "That's just an 'expression'!"

Then it was time for bed. Mommy read stories to me and then lay down with me for a few minutes. That's the time that I usually like to tell her things I've been thinking about. Today I told her about the baby kitten who was inside it's mommy's belly and then she "BLEW him out!" Kittens come out of the mama cat's "poop spot." I told Mommy that I learned that at the pet store. She didn't remember that part of the tour.
