“I’m too medium sized”

Posted on by

You’ve always been, and will be our our little girl but you are growing up so fast.  With the arrival of your little brother you are no longer the smallest one in the house.  You know big from small, but what a great time to teach what “medium” means.  We taught you that Brady was small, mom and daddy were big, and that you are medium.  As we should have expected you took your knowledge to a whole new level and put your own Hailey spin on it.

The other day we were talking about Brady’s bouncy chair.  When I told you that you could not sit in it, before I could finish my thought you said “Daddy, I can’t sit in Brady’s chair because I’m too medium sized?”.  A few days later I asked you to get your cup off of the counter.  When you failed to reach it you said “Daddy, please get my cup.  I can’t reach it.  I’m too medium-sized”.

So there you have it.  Now anytime you are too small or to big for something, you now just use the one-size-fits-all phrase “I’m too medium sized”.

You truly get cuter by the day.

Love,
Daddy

Playin’ in the rain

Posted on by

This evening you and I went for a walk and tricycle ride.  The clouds rolled fast and just as we got to the front porch it started to rain.  The temperature was about 90 degrees and there was no thunder or lighting.  Not missing a fun opportunity daddy took your tricycle inside and you and I played in the rain for about 15 minutes.  Running, twirling, and splashing in the puddles.  We were soaked to the bone and you had a BLAST!  I truly cherish moments like this with you.

Love,
Daddy

So Stinkin’ Smart!

Posted on by

You are so observant and smart…you don’t miss a thing!  When I got to daycare yesterday I went to Brady’s room first.  Apparently you had seen me pull into the driveway and told Ms. Kelsea I was there.  So when I got to your room, much later than you expected, you asked me if that was our van?  Then you informed me that you had told Ms. Kelsea I was there earlier.  When we walked out to the car you made mention of knowing it was our van because of the license plate!

Another example…Typically we allow you to stay in the bath tub and play until all the water has drained out.  So, the other night I asked you to pull the drain plug and you said something about making it go slow.  I explained that the water only drains at one speed but you kept insisting that you wanted to make it go slow.  It was only when you retrieved a washcloth and stuffed it over the drain that I realized what you were saying!

There are many other instances like this of your astute observation and deductive reasoning skills…all of which your father and I find completely interesting.  You never cease to amaze us!
