Us Against Them

     Baylee enjoys scaring people now.  Dustin taught her, of course.  She hides behind doors and will "rawr" mom or dad when they come in.  My favorite is when I'm in the bathroom getting ready or something and she goes into the bathroom bathroom to have a door to close and hide behind.  When she's in there with the door closed I can hear her saying to teddy or her cart or her ball or even an imaginary friend, I don't know.  She says, "a rawr, mom.  Ep."  Then she comes out "rawr!"  Then she tells me that she is going to "rawr" me again.  And she'll go through that whole routine for about 5 solid minutes.

     Today is Baylee's birthday.  I think she enjoyed it at least a little.  It was hard to try to get everything ready in time because of our 1-4 church time.  We got home from church and I started on the cake but got so hungry I had to eat.  So we ended up doing a really casual dinner even though I had wanted to do a nice dinner for her birthday.  As nice as you can get for nuggets and fries.  :)  Her favorite.  Jen, Dustin and I had sandwiches before I started on Baylee's dinner.  She was being SO silly too.  Laughing at all of us just sitting at the kitchen table with everyone.  She would throw her head back and give a nice gut laugh.  I finally got her dinner for her and set it on the table in front of her.  Not long after that Mom, Kevin and Sums showed up.  When they got here Baylee went into shy mode!  She laid on Dustin the whole time, all the sudden very uninterested in her food....

     We just had our first "poop in the tub" experience.  I guess I was naive to think I could get through life without ever having to go through this.  The end.

     Baylee said prayers on her own just today.  And I do mean on her own!  We got through the intro with her reapeating everything I said perfectly.  She even said IN heaven instead of just heaven.  Then we got to thankful for our family, and she I think attempted saying family and took over from there.      "Socks!"  Yes, thankful for our socks.  "For dad!"  And dad.  "An mom!"  Yes, and mom.  "Baylee."  Yes, and Baylee.  :)  "Teddy!"  Yup, teddy.  "An other one!"  And the other one.  "Nammies!"  Yes, we're thankful for our jammies.  "Noodles."  And thankful for our noodles.  Then we closed the prayer.  It was very cute.  (All the exclamation points because she pretty much yelled the whole prayer.)      Then I just spent about 5 minutes of solid prayer saying with her.  Her prayers go as follows:  ...
