A Few Words from Hailey

It's tough being child #3.  The boys are bigger...stronger...and so much faster.  I try as hard I can, but I just can't keep up with them.  They don't always want me around, but I've gotten good about squeezing my way between them to play.  I have a lot to say, but most of the time they don't hear me. They really love their games.  I have learned to get their attention by smacking them with a game controller or shoving one of my books in their faces.  I don't know why, but they get really mad when I do that.

I get ice cream when they celebrate something big :-)

Ian got rid of his training wheels!

Having two big brothers is fun sometimes, too.  They do teach me lots of things.  They taught me how to tell mom "No" and now I know "na-na-na-na" when I'm doing something I'm not supposed to do.  Mom wasn't too happy with this one.  It is a lot of fun though....I recommend everyone trying it!

They also teach me to do things for myself.  I really wanted the phone to call Daddy (he was traveling and I missed him) and mom had a big glass of water on the table.  I was thirsty.  Mommy was in the other room and I just couldn't wait.  I pushed out the chair and took matters into my own hands.   Mommy yelled "Hailey Dawn".  She had that look that meant I was in trouble, but I was just saving work for her.

Now I climb up there all the time just because I can

Don't I look good at the table.  Either mom and dad better get a bigger table or I'll take over one of the boys' chairs!

Mommy claims that my toddlerhood is giving her extra gray hair and raising her blood pressure....I think I'm just having fun!
