What Did I Get For Christmas?

Christmas presents!  Christmas presents!  Christmas presents!  There was a Tinkerbell scooter under the tree for me.  I'm already fast on my scooter.

And I got a Tiana crown to wear with my princess dress up stuff.  What else did I get?  I got an Umizoomi movie.  I love Umizoomi.  It is my favorite show.  And I got a Leap Pad game.  

I got some clothes too.  Some dresses, some Hello Kitty clothes.  And I got some fancy gloves.  I needed some gloves because I only had mittens and I don't like mittens. I wanted gloves with fingers.

I got some lego at Gram's house.  Mommy already helped me build a castle with the legos.  I like it because there is a bed for the queen.  It can build up pretty big.

And I got La La Loopsy dolls and...

 some more clothes.

Then after we opened all of the presents they finally let us play on the piano.  Gram was showing me how to play Jingle Bells.

What a fun day.  Merry Christmas.  Love, Luciana.

Christmas Is Coming

Breakfast With Santa

Mommy and Daddy took us a Santa breakfast party.  Santa was there and we got to sit on his lap and take our picture with him.  I sat on his lap and he talked to me but I was too shy to say much back.  I can't wait until he comes to our house and brings presents!  We already have a Christmas tree in our house.  It is pretty with a bunch of lights.

(Here is a picture that Luci made with stickers all by herself.  Notice that Baby Jesus is on the roof and one gifts must have looked like a baby bottle.)  :-)

Hanging Out With Landon

Landon came over to our house.  We had fun playing in the kitchen and watching TV.  Me and Riley tried to show him how to dress up and play but he didn't want to do it.

He was worried about Wrigley needing some more food.

I was more worried about drinking my chocolate milk.  But we did get Wrigley some more food.  He was lucky Landon was there or else he would be hungry.

Then we made cookies!  Me and Landon unwrapped all of the chocolate candy for the cookies.  I ate some but don't tell Mommy!

Long Thanksgiving Visit

I went to visit Grandma and Grandpa for Thanksgiving.  Me and Daddy went up early so I was there for a long time and we did a lot of stuff.  

We went to a wedding.  I hung out with Grandpa.  We went and got candy from the candy bar.  Yummy.

Tia was visiting with Boston so I got be with her alot.  She is reading me some books that Grandma got from the library.  She took us to the park one day too.

We went to the Thanksgiving parade.  I took my picture with a reindeer.  Mommy and Daddy were surprised I wanted to see the reindeer.  (Note: We guess the Disney trip last year shook the fear of costumes)

Ronald McDonald was in the parade.  I know him from my favorite restaurant.  He was in a big red shoe.  That was funny!  The parade was fun.

We went and played at Madden's house.  He is a boy that is our cousin or something.  There is another boy Lucas who goes to Grandma's house too.  Madden has some good toys.  Me and Riley never seen so many dinosaurs.  

I was excited for Mommy and Riley to get there for Thanksgiving.  It was a good visit though.

Pictures in the Park

Me and Riley and Mommy and Daddy went to the park.  Mommy's friend took pictures of us at the park.

Funny Video w/ Sass

I was running up and down the hill at the IU game...

...but I didn't want Daddy to take pictures!

LaLaLuci

I was a LaLaLoopsy doll for Halloween.  I went trick or treating to get some candy with Riley.

Gram and Poppy came to our house to babysit Wrigley and hand out candy.  And Landon came with us.  He was a lion.  He said "rrraaahhhhhh".

After I was all done.  I sat with Gram.  It was cold so she cover me up. We saw more kids come to our house to get candy.  It was a fun night.

Happy Halloween!

Luciana's Line of the Night

Daddy was helping me helping me go potty.  I went potty and then turned around and looked in the toilet when it was flushing.

Luciana:  And Bingo was his name-o!

Daddy:  You named it Bingo?

Luciana:  No, I just singing.

 Then I ran down the hall (after I washed my hands) singing "Bingo was his name-o!  Bingo was his name-o!"

Another Big Girl Step

I'm a big girl now.  I do a lot of big girl stuff and I finally decided to go on the potty.  I had to get rid of those diapers before the baby comes.  I have been doing a really good job.  I had no accidents at Alice's house this week.  Mommy and Daddy have been really proud of me - just like the girl in the potty book!  I don't know why I waited, it is much better than diapers.  I still wear pull ups when I go to bed but I'm doing really good when I sleep so I can probably get rid of those pretty soon too.

(Note: In addition, she can turn a chair into a rubber banded musical instrument...a multi-talented little girl.)

Big Sister Stuff

If you don't know, I have to tell you something.  My Mommy is having a baby!  I'm going to be a big sister.  I am so excited.  Mommy asks me, "Is it going to be a boy or a girl?"  I always say "a boy and a girl!".  Daddy looks sick every time I say that.  But that would be so fun to have a boy and a girl baby.  My only babies now are pretend babies, like baby Abby (Baby Alive) and baby Belle. I'm ready for a real one.

(Mommy/Daddy Note: Luciana and Riley are already is using the baby as leverage.  These are 2 conversations that happened today:

We told Luci she had to give Riley a couple of her Hello Kitty stickers...
Riley: I want to pick a sticker.
Luci: No. I pick.
Riley: I wanna pick it!
Luci: No!
Riley: Well, when the baby comes I'm not going to play with you!  I'm just going to play with the baby.
Luci (matter of factly): When the baby comes, you can pick.


Then Mommy was trying to talk to Luci about her stubbornness with potty training....
Mommy: Are you going to wear panties?
Luci: No.
Mommy: Aren't you a big girl? Only babies wear diapers.
Luci: Babies and Luci wear diapers.
Mommy: What about when we have a baby?
Luci: Then I wear panties.

Too funny.

Birthday Pictures

I had 2 birthday parties!  I had a party on my real birthday and me and Riley had a part on our shared birthday.  Riley always like to help me open presents.

We had a party at the 'nastics place.  It was a lot of fun.  My friends were there and I climbed on stuff.  I was swinging on a rope like a pirate.  Yesterday, I was singing "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" so I guess I was ready to swing on a rope.

I love purple!!!  

I'm Three!

Happy Birthday to me!  I'm finally 3 today!!!  Today is my birthday but I'm having a party with Riley next week.  Gram and Poppy called me on the phone and sang "Happy Birthday" to me.

I got to pick lunch.  I picked my favorite place to eat....McDonalds!  I ate some chicken nuggets and apples and drank some chocolate milk.  That is how this girl celebrates her birthday.

Go IU!

I went to the football game.  I like being a cheerleader and dancing.  I yell "Go IU, Go IU"! 

We went to little kid field and played football with Daddy.  He was chasing us and I was running and screaming.  And me and Riley pulled him down and jumped on him on the ground.  It was so fun!

Miss Independent Luci

 

Hello?  I have not been typing on the computer for awhile.  I been busy though.  Riley is going to school now.  So I go to Alice's house all by myself.  Daddy still drives me but I go in there myself.  I was asking about Riley the first day but since then I have been okay with it.  Now I am one of the big kids and Riley isn't telling me what to do.  I like seeing my friends there again.  It has been okay but I want to be bigger so I can go to school too.  Someday.

I am still going "nastics" class.  I was in a class with my friend Cammie.  We had fun.  Look at this picture with Riley.  She always has to win!  But now I am with the threes (years old).   When you are with the threes your Mommy and Daddy don't help you.  I get to do it all by myself.  I have to listen to the teacher and I have been doing a good job.  Mommy said so. 

There is something else that Mommy and Daddy want me to do myself....I can't remember what it is. I think it was in some room in the house.  But I can't remember. I'll let you know...

Mommy's School Helper

I went to my Mommy's school.  There were no kids there.  But I helped her work on her school room.  I put pencils in the desks and wiped off the drawing boards.  I like wiping stuff off.  I squirted bottle stuff on my hands because I thought it was "hanitizer" (sanitizer).  But Mommy said it wasn't and I was supposed to play with it.  It was soap for the drawing boards. I had to go wash my hands. 

I have to tell you something too.  I found my letter on the floor!  L is my letter.  The floor has everybody's letter.  It has Riley's letter and Daddy's letter too.  But I like my letter the best.  I showed it to Mommy and Daddy.

Riley is getting ready to go school.  I want to be old enough to go to school. I am going to be three on my next birthday.  Then I am going to be four and five and I will go to school too. 

Day at the Zoo

We went to the zoo.  And guess what?  Gram came with us.  She left Poppy at home I guess. We saw the animals.  Like elephants and giraffes.  We saw the elephants take a bath and I got to feed the giraffe some food.  His food looked like Wrigley's dog food and he ate it right out of my cup.  I was laughing.

The most fun part was the polar bear.  The polar bear came right up to us and stood up in our face!  I was scared and Gram had to hold me the first time. The polar bear was so big!  He did it one times, two times, three times.  He put his arms up and I put my arms up.  Riley said "I never seen a polar bear so close."   

It was a fun day.  I like the zoo.  Me and Riley were fighting over over the map so we did not get to ride the carousel.  You have to do no fighting and crying to be able to ride it.  Maybe next time.
