Alayna, fast moving, drama queen Alayna, dearly wanted to go outside. Mom said, "You can't, there's no one to watch you out there, Alayna. Please, go play."
Still Alayna wants to play outside. Mom reaffirms, "You can't go out there right now. When Daddy gets home, if he wants to watch you, you can. Now, please, just go play."
Not to be out-reasoned, 3 y.o. Alayna, gasping, holding up one finger, standing in the doorway to the living room has found the answer, "I know, we can go play in GrammyPam's yard."

As stated above, Alayna is full of energy and bounce, she's theatrical. Most little kids will come up to you and nicely ask, "May I have a drink of water, please."
I'm rolling on floor laughing thinking about Alayna's version! Afterwards, how can you not give her a drink? How can you reprimand her for her lack of manners? You can't. You're laughing too hard.
Here's Alayna, very short, bouncy curly brown hair, and 3 years old, comes around the corner very fast, does a pirouette, stops sideways with legs apart, leans a bit towards you with right arm outstretched and pointing right at your face, says, "I want a drink!"

Alayna, her brother Jayden, and little sis Noelle, came to stay with us while the foks got groceries. I had them keep on their coats while I donned mine to join them in the Roger Run, a fenced area 50 ft. square designed for play with a swing, a soundboard, a log for balance walking, a stumperary, and a childs picnic table.
After a bit, with rosy cheeks and red noses, they went inside the house. But, I had to step back out to take a phone call. It was too noisy inside. Just when the call was about to end, the front door opened, and grinning Alayna insisted, "GrammyPam! Get in here. It's so cold outside!"
