We have time for fun too.

We aren't just working on the house all the time around here. 

We have time for stretches and a few workouts in Mommy's shoes.

We have time to draw on our face.

We have time to sort paperclips...the new favorite game.

And we have time to watch some Elmo - our new best friend.
Haylie is getting to be more fun every day.  She went to her friend Brixton's house and fell in love with "Melmo" last week.  I went and got her one at a consignment sale (the next day, whew) and she loves him!!  This is the first time she has shown an attachment to something other than her bears (which, I lost one the same day we got Elmo.  So far, she hasn't noticed.  Again, whew.)  She repeats everything you say and can recognize 21 of the 26 alphabet letters.  If she is starts to get upset, she goes through her list of names - Mommy, Daddy, Mimi, Umpy...I guess to see who is around to come hug her. And never fear, if she hears a phone ring, chime, ding, etc., she immediately calls out, "I'll get it!!"

And her new phrase (theatrically) "I don't know!"
