things we don't want to forget...

about our sweet two year old:

Favorite foods: watermelon, cookies, milk shakes, strawberries, graham crackers, granola, & french fries!

Likes: being outside, playing in her pool & running through sprinklers, going to the park. Trips to the grocery store - on the way to the store Hailey thinks it's fun to list things that we need to get. After careful thought she usually says, cookies, strawberries & bread. She likes going bye-bye, especially in Dad's jeep! She likes searching for bugs & snakes - she picked up a snake today! Loves having company come over. She has a memory like an elephant. She's been known to let you know if you have a booger in your nose, and usually offers to get it out for you. She likes to choose which shoes she's going to wear. She patiently tries putting her own shoes on and is so proud. She's constantly giving loves & kisses. The other day she pushed mine & Joe's faces together to kiss, said "love" then giggled. She'll occasionally says "no" when I ask her to do things. She loves her blankie at bedtime. She insists on having her ouwies kissed. She is really good at cleaning up her toys & putting them where they belong. She hates having her hands dirty. She's scared of spiders. She likes finding dog poop in the yard for Joe to scoop up before he mows the lawn. Loves brushing her teeth; which is more just sucking the toothpaste off the brush, rather than brushing. She discovered my dimple and now knows that she has one on her cheek too. She likes to make faces at herself in the mirror. She's great at saying "thank you" and usually beats us to the punch by following up with "your welcome". Still loves bathtime, storytime & babies (real & pretend). She stands on the stool & helps in the kitchen, especially with making cookies. She loves tasting the dough & patiently awaits them to bake.

Dislikes: anyone but Mommy taking her potty. Coming in from outside.

Potty update: She has been potty trained for about 6 weeks... she'll go on public toilets and lately, has been preferring the big potty at home over her little one. We stopped taking the potty with us in the car. She had her first honey bucket experience the other day. If she sees me go she says "did you go?", looks in the toilet and says "Yay, good girl Mommy!" When she goes poop, she says "shut the door" and we have to stand outside and wait for her to call us in to wipe her.
