The Amazing Allison!!

Since Allison is 1 1/2 years old, she has been picking up some as I call them, "tricks.'' Allison has been going to Julie's house to be babysat. She has been taught a thing or two by Julie's daughter, Melanie, who is a couple moths older than Allison. Melanie has shown her the way of Dora the Explorer. Allison picked up how to say Dora. She says "Doa!'' when she sees her in a book or something. How she learned how to say it, I have no idea. Allison can walk in different patterns. She can walk on her "tippy toes" which is a sight to see. One of my favorite ways for Allison to walk, is to march. She kicks her feet up and "marches" around the house. She loves it when she is asked where her toes are. Someone will ask her, ''Where are your toes?'' and she will lift up her foot and laugh away!!! She can clap, pat her belly, crawl, scoot, give me the "Grandpa White Smile,'' say '' it's hot,'' and tell me she wants juice. She went trick or treating this year, (she was Mickey Mouse) and brought home a bucket load of candy. We put the bucket on a shelf so she won't get it. And now she will walk up to the self and scream if she wants a piece of her candy. ( We usually just give her the suckers.) As you can see, we have a smart little kid!!!
