2 Already?!

This little toot turns 2 today!!!!  I can not believe how time has really just flown by and how big my little girl is getting.




Oh, that's better. 

Haylie is SO FUN (when she isn't acting like a typical 2 year old.)

She is talking in semi-sentences - you can at least understand for the most part what she is saying although I still have NO idea what "Mimi (meme?) Stars" means.

She is doing SO well at Sonshine School.  There are no tears and a happy report at the end of each school day!

She remembers the most random stuff.  She can see a sweatshirt and remember it came from Dusty.  Or a glass and she remembers that Amy was using it.  Or that Amber was here the night before and is wondering where she went.  

She loves her friends - and I can now start to "bribe" her with "no playdates with _____", if she doesn't behave.  Works every time.

Loves shoes, hats, necklaces...any accessory really.

Loves the cat Caramel, loves Elmo, loves stars, loves the moon, loves blankets, loves books.

Lately at bed time or nap time, we will go in to check on her and there will be about 20 books in her bed with her.  We take them out but always seems to find more...like between her beds.

Loves to color.  All day.  With colored pencils.  Then crayons, then back to pencils.  She will bring you one and want you to draw a star or Elmo's face and won't leave you alone until you do.  She is persistent!

She is sweet, funny, caring, silly, crazy, sassy, stubborn, frustrating, but most of all, she is lovable!! 

I don't know what I would do without her.

Happy 2 Years, Haylie Brooke!!

I'm a star, what can I say??? The books reminds me of you when you were little. We would hear you turning pages in your bed long after the lights were supposed to be out!
