Cinderella-Talia-Tally

That's what I was supposed to call her today. Silly girl! Tally is growing up too quickly. She'll be 4 in less than 2 months! She's been coming into primary with us for the last few Sundays to get aquainted with the program. She loves it--especially since she's there for singing time! She's pretty good at memorizing songs and loves primary hymns and disney. A few weeks ago, we had parent/teacher conference at her preschool and well...she's good. She got C's (the highest) in everything EXCEPT sitting still for circle time and changing activities-YUP! that's her! They were pretty surprised that she knew what to do with scissors and how to color in the lines. That made me feel good. They said she was pretty bored at school...uh oh! So... next school year she'll be in the 5 days a week program! WAHOO!!! I think she'll like it alot. She absolutely LOVES school--and the even better part, we were already approved for her scholarship!
As you can see from the pic...Tally is pretty darn goofy! she loves to make faces (maybe she really is related to you Diane!-hehee). She wants me to take LOTS of pics so she can continue making different faces...here's a classic!She also LOVES to play dressups with her friend Desi. They constantly fight over the pink outfit but now that Halloween is over, the Arial one is officially a dress up too--so maybe fights are over? for now....

Tally is so active--too active sometimes. Last year she got what our then dr called the "chicago cough." Apparently every kid gets it that moves here and you basically just deal with it. Our medicine shelf is FULL of different "solutions" for the cough...but nothing really helps. Last year it took an ER visit to get set up with an inhaler and that hardly worked. This year, we found a new dr (HOORAY) and she doesn't believe in the "C.C" and so she gave me my request of a nebulizer and also put her on Zyrtec. Can I just say THIS HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE!!! We're almost through week 2 of treatments and FINALLY she is sleeping through the night with our hacking up a lung (or barfing because of the hacking).
As you can see...she LOVES her meds! Actually she doesn't...but on this day the camera helped her make it through!

We love Tally so much and enjoy her EVERY minute (when she's not being rude or ignoring us!). She is so sweet and loves Bergen so much. She also loves to sing--today she was Aurora from Sleeping beauty...blue dress and headband, with gloves (red and purple...not white...but oh well). She then sang "Once upon a dream" over and over as high as her voice could go. She got quite the looks from the grounds crew as we took a walk! :)
