Miss Peyton is nearly completely potty trained with the exception of night time.  She loves to sing and actually knows the words to so many songs that I can't list them all here.  She has even started making up her own songs and sharing them with us.  Her favorite song is Paparazzi (the Kidz Bop version of course).

When she isn't singing, she is TALKING!  She talks virtually nonstop (we have no idea where she got that from).  She knows exactly how things are supposed to be done and she loves to tell us the correct way to do it.  She loves the public library and of course reading books every day.  Her teachers tell us that she has even memorized the words to a couple of their books at school and reads them to everyone herself.

She has moved on to watching Dora the Explorer and will only say certain words or phrases to McK in Spanish instead of English (Te Amo - I Love You and Por Favor - Please).  Her Spanish vocabulary is extensive.  She also likes watching Blue's Clues, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Scooby Doo.  Playing outside (when possible) still trumps tv though.

Peyton got her first professional haircut a few weeks ago and loves her new bangs. She is ready to go back to the "Salon" and have "Allison cut my hair again."  We painted her nails to match mommies and she is already telling me they need to be redone.  When Nana and Papa  were visiting, Nana took us all to the nail salon.  Peyton told Ms. Megan she got her toes painted at the "toe store."



Peyton moved up to the Prepper's classroom.  Her first week there they did assessment and Peyton already passes all the learning objectives of the room except for fully potty trained!

Winter 2011 (A.K.A the winter that just won't end...)

Santa Came Twice This Year

Christmas in OKLAHOMA!

Peyton had a great time being back with family and friends for Christmas 2010.  She enjoyed playing with Taylor, Brooks, McKinlee, Ady and all of her cousins.  She told us that Miss Jacque looks like Snow White, learned to cook a cherry pie, decided she likes pecans as long as cousin Jerry is cracking them and giving them to her fresh and hasn't stopped talking about "Uncle Pumpkin" yet.  :)  As she watches the videos of our time back in Oklahoma, she tells me she wants to go in the computer so she can be there!  She may have been born a Jersey Girl, but is evident she is an Okie at heart! 

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.....

CHRISTMAS 2010

Peyton wrote a letter to Santa and asked for 2 things: plates for her kitchen and a BIG apple, to eat!

November

The month was full of visitors. We spent a week in the bayou with the Tramel family. The weather was beautiful and Peyton had a great time making friends with Brooks, McKinlee, Matt and "Lusianna" (TeAna).

For Thanksgiving Peyton got a visit from Grandaddy, Grammy, Aunt CC and Brooklyn. She was too excited to sleep and even got to take a trip into NYC. She liked the Macy's store window decorations and the Rockafeller Tree but was most impressed by the pigeons and her citing of Cookie Monster and Elmo on the street corner!
