The 100 Things Finale!

Ah, the end of an era. The 100 Random Things About ___ has come to a close. I have checked and double checked to make sure everyone got a chance to post theirs. (Though I think Stephen cheated by doing less than 100, but we will let it slide...) Thank you for leaving Kadence to the end! She is even harder than Rylan! So, let us begin....

1. I used to call my fingernails "snails". I knew they needed to be cut when the snails turned white instead of the pretty pink color.

2. After reviewing our schedule for the day, Mom told me we were taking Rylan to the doctor, in which I replied anxiously, "And give him back!!"

3. My middle name is Lorae.

4. I used to be SOO afraid of flies. But I used to think they were bees...they are so confusing, scary things both have wings and buzz and fly...I'm 4, give me a break. But one day a fly was on my blanket while I was watching cartoons and I SCREAMED and cried until mommy came. I was too scared to move. She didn't believe me that I saw a bee. (again, she had good reason to, because I really never DID see a bee, it was a fly.) She finally found out what I was crying about...a dead fly was on my blanket! Ewww! (I cried forever b/c the fly wouldn't go away, again, it was dead, and mommy just WOULDN'T come save me from a bee she knew wasn't there!)

5. I was Snow White for Halloween last year, and I am determined to be Cinderella this year. I want the dress from the Disney Store, but mommy thinks $40 is too much to pay for a costume to wear once....what a stickler!

6. I am a spoiled 4 year old and get a huge bed and my own room all to myself, and will for a few more years at least. I love my pink and green room! I remember to thank mommy almost every night for decorating it so cute for me!

7. I MUST sleep with a nightlight AND the bathroom light on.

8. I LOVE cold cereal. That's about it. I don't like food. Mommy says I am more picky than Aunt Sally used to be!

9. I refuse to drink milk because it's too cold. I will only ingest milk if it is poured on my cold cereal. I guess I inherited that trait more from Grandpa, than mom and Grandma. And to think mommy sometimes has to put ice in her milk!! Brrrrr!

10. I love to watch the old Popeye and Betty Boop cartoons. I even sing Popeye the Sailor Man theme song, then the wedding march as I make Rylan play Popeye, and me play Olive Oil and we get married!!

11. I love letting my kitty sleep with me. I usually go right to sleep as long as she goes to bed with me. Though she doesn't always get to. Mommy says she needs a bath.

12. I LOVE playing Hide and Seek. But I guess I cheat b/c I always tell people where I'm going to hide before I hide there. They always find me.

13. I sleep just like Mommy does. With her hands folded above her head! I always have...we have a picture of the both of us sleeping like that when I was just a little baby! Daddy loves it.

14. I love Primary. I cry and pout when we miss church. I ask all through the Sacrament meeting when I can go to Primary, but I've learned it's after the song and prayer. The songs in the middle of all the talks throw me off and I get grumpy when we have those.

15. APPARENTLY I would rather pee in my underwear then go to the bathroom where there is a scary wood looking spider hiding under the counter in the hole where the screw is. After MAKING me go potty anyway, mommy brushed the spider away and said it was just saw dust. Saw dust, spider...same thing. It was scary.

16. My special time with Daddy every day is to go get the mail together. Mommy and Rylan are not allowed to come. Too bad we don't have a longer driveway like Grandpa and Grandma. That would be fun.

17. I still have no concept of time. Tomorrow I understand...tonight I understand. But beyond tomorrow...well, yeah. I have to ask Mommy every day if Halloween is tomorrow or next week. What other choices are there??

18. I love listening to Mommy's "Girl Music" really loud.

19. I love to drive with my window down in the car. Even if it's cold outside.

20. I love to play with my little brother Rylan. Especially dress up. But I guess you already saw the pictures.

21. I cannot fall asleep without music on. I always listen to my cd's of primary songs every night while I go to sleep. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I have to turn them back on.

22. I HATE mashed potatoes.

23. My favorite cereal is Marshmallow Mateys.

24. I refuse to talk about going to school. I know that going to school means I have to get a shot first, and that is really scary. So scary even talking about it, that when we do, I start to cry and ask if we can talk about something else. I do not want to go to school ever.

25. I want to take violin lessons.

26. I LOVE going to the library. Getting movies and books is SOO fun! But I always cry when we have to return them, even when I know that we can get more.

27. If I could, I would wear skirts EVERY DAY. I LOVE skirts and want a cute new one for Christmas.

28. I cried when we found out mommy was having another boy. I wanted company!

29. I am already excited about sharing my room with a baby sister. I talk about it a LOT, and want mommy and daddy to make room in my closet for her. I am always happy to put away the clothes I grow out of, because I know they will be my baby sisters someday. (Mommy says We'll See.)

30. My birthday is May 30th.

31. I love to watch Marry Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

32. I have an outie belly button just like my Daddy!

33. I have blue eyes just like my mommy, and everyone says I look just like her!

34. I will eat most meat if you tell me it is chicken first. I will usually believe you and eat it willingly and like it! Just don't tell me it's really tuna, or steak, or sausage, or ribs, or roast. It's just easier to call it chicken.

35. Root Beer is the best drink EVER!

36. I like to drink water. It gives me ENERGY! When I play I always have to drink water because I run out of energy.

37. I can't wait to cut my hair short again, and talk about it all the time.

38. I love playing in my old Halloween costumes. I have to wear them almost every day. My neighbors frequently see Snow White outside.

39. I LOVE the water park. I had so much fun this year and I've always loved the water. I wish we could have gone more. I'm always so sad to leave.

40. No one is allowed to call Rylan cute unless they plan to call me cute too. I get jealous easily.

41. Fairy books are my FAVORITE.

42. I want to be cowgirl when I grow up.

43. I used to take dance lessons.

44. I love hats. Rylan loves my hats too.

45. My sides are where I'm most ticklish.

46. I swear ALL the time! Except my swear word is "pickle". I say pickle after EVERYTHING! Like instead of other swear words, I say "OH PICKLE!" When I'm disappointed, or mad, or angry, or being silly, or even sad. I say "PICKLE!"

47. Pink is my favorite color. But of course you knew that.

48. I never want my ears pierced. It will hurt! But then again, I'm scared to death of an immunization, so DUH! No ear piercing. (I'll bet Grandma and Grandpa are cheering about now.)

49. I love to play soccer in our backyard.

50. I am the BEST big helper around the house. I've thrown away 98% of ALL of Rylan's diapers since he was born, and I help clean up a LOT. I love helping Daddy take out the garbage on garbage night, I open and close the blinds almost every day for mommy, I take care of baby Rylan, and I love to wipe anything down as long as Windex is involved.
