ABCs: A

Yesterday I was informed that I do not blog often enough. (I apologize for the use of passive voice in that sentence. I found it inescapable.) When I complained that I had nothing to blog about, said informer told me to do the A-Z thing. Sure. Why not. So here we go.

A is for...Alyssa!

As anyone reading this knows, Alyssa is my very special baby sister. And she is stinking adorable, as evidenced by this picture and all the ones to follow. She has her own folder in my pictures because she is basically the only thing I ever take pictures of.





She likes to carry her toys (weird things like screws and buttons and random items like sunscreen) around in this red Lego bucket. I have no idea what happened to the Legos that used to be in it. Most likely they are shoved in a different bucket somewhere after having been strewn about on the floor for a month or more.




Her very favorite thing these days is watching YouTube clips on my computer. The funny thing is, they're usually clips of movies she already has and could watch whenever she wants. But for whatever reason, it is more fun on my computer. Okay, fine. Unfortunately, it becomes very hard for me to do things like my homework when Alyssa runs in and asks to watch every time I'm even within 10 feet of my room. And yet it's virtually impossible for me to say no to her. I think she knows this and exploits it.

I...don't have much explanation for this one. That is, in fact, me in that monkey suit. I'm not embarrassed.







We have no idea why, but one time over the summer while Brian took one of many naps on the couch, Alyssa ran over and jumped on his back. It was strange. It was random. And it was HILARIOUS.














Basically my sister is cute and I love her. :) (I guess A could have been for autism, too, haha. But I don't have pictures of her throwing things during Sacrament meeting and hitting one of the deacons in the face while he's passing the Sacrament or banging her head against the couch or screaming.)
