Everyday with Aliyah

She seriously makes us laugh constantly.  Who knew a two year old could have so much character!

Here's Aliyah doing her stretches...she learned this from Dave--not that he stretches like this, but that Aliyah knows that dad does stretches and this is how it translated.  Looks pretty good to me!




Aliyah also loves to read books.  She memorizes books within the first few times of hearing them read. She'll entertain herself for quite some time looking at and reading the books aloud. 



One of our favorite pastimes this spring was to fly a kite.  We get pretty good winds and have a nice grassy area outside our home.  Aliyah likes to chase after the kite's tails, hold the string...and run around not paying attention to the kite at all while we hold it. 


 One day while Aliyah was holding the kite a cute old Asian couple walking around the neighborhood took pictures of Aliyah!  It was funny to see them SO interested!


Right after this picture Aliyah let go of the kite.  It was carried by the wind to the other side of our building!  A tree caught the string and we were able to get it down.  

It's the small things that make life so enjoyable!
