she can count to over 30 and knows her letters and sounds. she knows words to a ton of songs, and is generally a very happy girl. she is mostly over her temper tantrum phase although sometimes one still comes to the surface. she's a very active girl - never ever sits still. always wants to jump around or play. her favorite things to play lately are school, where i'm the kid and she's the mom, taking me to school. she fixes my hair and then we get in the car to go to school and have show and tell.
she has a best friend named alex that she plays with ALL the time. but, alex is moving at end of August, so we'll see how that adjustment goes. we've been encouraging her to play with other kids to help with the transition. it takes her a while to warm up to other/new kids when we are at parks but I guess it's good that she doesn't trust strangers right away.
she really has not gotten into her bike at all, and rarely will even attempt to ride it. maybe one day...
she is a MASTER at stalling her bedtime. lately, I've been working till 7, so she does not lay down until almost 9pm!! but she seems to get enough sleep, so hopefully we will get better with the time change. she is the kind of kid that can adjust to changes as long as she knows what to expect. for instance, we had to tell her every day that dad is going to start picking her up from school or else she would cry if mom didn't pick her up. once she knew what to expect, she embraces the change.
she loves her stuffed animals and has at least 40 of them! 'bear bus' came to school and she picked out a pink dog that she named pinky. that is dog #6 or 7 I think! she still really loves her baby dolls and is now in the habit of playing with all 3 of them at the same time. she is a very good mommy to them and loves all her baby-doll accessories.
she wants to pick out her clothes every day, sometimes changing 2+ times a day. it's impossible for me to give her something to put on -- SHE has to want to wear it. and she loves shoes, especially dress shoes. just like her daddy. :-)
she is very competitive and stubborn at times (again like someone I know). if I can't get her to do something, often times I just change it to a race and problem solved. but of course she has to win.
we are SO blessed to have haley in our lives. she's such a joy and treasure to have and we are so thankful for her health, big personality, sense of humor, and her bear hugs and kisses. thank you Jesus!
here's a short video clip of her jumping off the couch onto a bean bag. daddy taught her that.
