I just love how having a child around is just constant entertainment. There is never a dull moment. Here are some of the highlights.
- I was trying to bribe Hailee to go to the bathroom when we were at the doctors office (she was dancing around like crazy, but not wanting to go because she was sure that she would miss something). I told her I would give her a dollar, to which she responded "Mom, I already have a dollar." Later when I was filling up her bath she wanted more bath water so she said "Mom I will give you a dollar." I guess turn around is fair play.
- Speaking of turn around. One night when she was getting ready for bed she was playing "farm" and she had to get all her animals to bed before she went to sleep. She started running around crazy and saying things like "I don't have time for this." I had to think for a minute of where she was getting that from until I remembered I say that all the time. When I am in a hurry and trying to leave and Hailee is doing her best to be slow I always say "Hailee we don't have time for this, we need to hurry." Looks like I need to be really careful about what I say.
- One night in the bath we were talking about how Hailee got her dad's hair and her mom's nose etc... After her bath she went streaking in to Todd so excited and exclaimed "Dad I got your skinny legs." She then gave Todd a big kiss and then teased him about kissing a naked girl. "Ooooh dad, you kissed a naked girl." Then she proceeded to dance around the room until I could get her dressed. I think she also got her dad's love of teasing.
- One day when Todd got home I was giving him a hug and Hailee ran over and said "Hey wait for me, I'm part of the family too." She definitely thinks her place is right in the middle.
- Another day when I was running around cleaning and working on things Hailee came over and asked for a hug. I was busy so I just put one arm around her quickly and kept going. She then said "No mom, I need two arms."
- Friday I noticed that Hailee had a canker sore. She was horrified to find a "cranker" sore. She asks me every morning how it's looking. Last night when I asked her if she wanted a cookie. She said "Yes, on no wait, I have a cranker sore, I can't." I have no idea where she got that idea from, I guess she thinks a cookie will hurt her cranker sore.
- And my favorite comment from Hailee this week was when I was complaining about getting old Hailee responded. "But mom you have to be old because your husband is old." I guess she is right.
