Bailey's Bucket List

Almost daily Bailey tells me about all the things she wants to do. Sometimes they are the same and she asks me again when she will be able to do the activity, and sometimes they are new things she comes up with.

A few of Bailey's extravagant ideas on her bucket list:

1. To ride on a camel. (her favorite animal) She probably asks for this one the most.
2. To ride on an elephant.
3. To ride on a hippo. (are we noticing a theme here?? We may have talked her down from this one since we keep telling her over and over that real hippos are dangerous. Sometimes she accepts that answer and sometimes she tells me we can just find a nice pink one)
4. To get a flying car so she can drive around so fast. (Thanks a lot Lilo&Stitch)
5. For a bird to come land on her arm and eat food out of her hand. (This one has been fulfilled thanks to the bird show at the zoo. Now to only make her understand that she can't be the special kid that goes up every single time)
6. To own a rocket.
7. To be a doctor so that she can help people get baby's out of their tummy just like Daddy.
8. And once he moved to his surgery rotation it was to become a doctor so she can help people that get big owies. (double board certified sounds like a real long road)
9. To ride on a horse (thank you Utah State Fair for fulfilling this one even though she constantly talks about wanting to do it again)
10. To go fishing with Papa and Robby so she can catch a really big fish with a pink fishing pole. (because everything is pink in her world, including all the nice animals that she wants to ride on)
11. Thanks to the Tinkerbell movie she really wanted to ride on an owl, a cat, and a bunny. After a lot of explaining I think she understands why she can't do these ones (or at least she hasn't asked to do them this week so she may have forgotten about them)

Bailey is my little adventurer. She is constantly telling me that she wants to go there or do that whenever she sees a crazy roller coaster, an exotic place, or anything that looks even remotely fun. The scary thing to me though is that she would actually get on the roller coaster, etc...

I predict an adventurous filled life for this little girl. Love you Bailey and your daring spirit.

Sticker Chart

Round 2 of the sticker chart happened. Bailey had to fall asleep in her bed all by herself and stay there the entire night to earn a sticker. It took awhile, but she finally filled up every last square. 

 Hazel also was along for the ride and when Bailey got a sticker, so did Hazel...

 

We once again headed off to Toys R Us to collect her reward....her most beloved pink scooter. She talked about getting it every night and how we would go on scooter rides around the block all the time.

And she couldn't be more in love with it. One night she rode it across the street to our friend's house for dinner. One of the girls left dinner a little early and Bails was so concerned that she was going to steal her scooter as she was leaving. We all reassured her that the scooter would be safe outside. 

There is, however, talk of her next sticker chart reward being the big pink car that Hazel and her could sit in at the store. A powerwheel. Dream on little girl. I still want one of those.

Aunt Janet

Aunt Janet came into town for some special meetings at the BYU law school so we got to see her for a little bit. Bailey was so excited at the prospect of picking her up from the airport. I think it was only partly due to the fact that she was told there were presents for her in Janet's suitcase.

 The minnie mouse camera and play food were a huge hit until Monday afternoon when we headed over to city creek and Janet let them pick anything they wanted at the Disney store. 

Princess Tiana and Pocahontas dolls were their choices. Thanks so much Aunt Janet for visiting and for spoiling the little girls rotten. They ask about you all the time.

Dance Class

Dance classes have started and little Bails could not be more excited. Especially when I showed her the outfit she had to wear each week and her tap and ballet shoes.

 The first lesson all the Mommies stayed and watched, which meant Hazel got to participate a little bit too. She mostly just sat by Bailey quietly and did everything the teacher said. She listened better than a few of the 3 year olds.

Best little friends.

Mean Kitty

At breakfast this morning Bails announced to me that she was a mean kitty, and then she sat there and dipped her fingers in her milk and licked them clean. I looked at her a little weird at first as she continued the process over and over and then I laughed hysterically when I realized what she was doing.

 

When I asked her if she was being Lucifer she looked at me strange and said No, the mean kitty. But she did indeed confirm it was the mean kitty from Cinderella. I think she is going to be terrible with names. Everyday after preschool she tells me she plays with her friends, but she can't remember any of their names...

And because it is impossible these days to just take pictures of one of them without the other, here are a few glamour shots from the one and only Hazel.
