What I am doing…Baylor

• I am learning to speak up for myself and fight back.  I have learned to hit and pull hair.  Mommy is trying very hard to teach me that these actions are mean, but I could care less.
• I love playing chase.  I am running pretty fast these days…go ahead and just try to catch me.
• I really enjoy kicking a ball with my Daddy.  Maybe one day I can be a punter.
• I am still rolling my eyes and getting LOTS of attention for it…so I will keep it up.
• I constantly say “Uh Uhhhhh” to signify to Mommy and Daddy that “NO I don’t want to eat that, and NO I don’t want to get in the highchair or stroller, and NO I don’t want to get dressed, etc.”
• I LOVE playing outside.  I take my shoes to Mommy and tell her “Shoes OUT,”  which translates to, “Put my shoes on already and take me outside NOW.”
• I love all things sweet and can down an ice cream cone in no time.
• I love being pushed in my cars…I love anything with a steering wheel.
• And yes, I still LOVE my Mommy SO SO much and when she is around, I want her to hold me all the time and never put me down.

What I am doing now…Madelyn

• I insist on wearing dress-up princess outfits everyday, but Mommy won’t let me…I tell her, “But Mommy, all I want to do is just be a princess, that’s all.”  I am often seen walking around the house in high heels and a leotard.  Mommy says that I am learning how to “work it” way too early.
• I am doing great with going to the potty…and I still expect a special treat every time I go, even if I just “poot a little bit.”
• I have learned how to draw stick people and Mommy and Daddy seem to be very impressed.
• My new favorite movies include E.T. and Jurassic Park.  I love to watch scary movies just like my Mommy did when she was little.
• I love running through the sprinkler and playing in the “restaurant grass” in the yard.  Daddy works very hard to make sure we have nice grass to play in.  I tell Mommy, “ I just have to take my shoes off so I can feel the grass on my toes.”
• I am still cooking away in the kitchen making cookies and cakes and all kinds of stuff.
• I had my dance recital and everybody was so proud of me.  I did my big turn and took a big bow at the end.  Mrs. Vicki says that I am very animated which is a good thing for dance.
• I still look for bugs any chance I get…if I see a rock, you better believe I am turning it over to see what’s under it.
• I cannot wait for summer because I get to go to Pennsylvania and the beach…and this is all I ever talk about these days.
