Bailee's Summer

Bailee was a lot of fun this summer.  She wants to do everything the big kids do.  She took swim lessons for the first time and it was a bit traumatic.  The first day she cried when I left her and each day she would ask if she had to go.  When we went to watch on performance day she sobbed and held onto the teacher when she had to jump off the diving board.  Such a change from my other two fish.  By the end of the second session she was doing much better and she loves to practice in the bathtub at home.

Before school got out, I was running on the treadmill on a Friday.  She was playing and went upstairs.  I finished just in time to go grab Brooke from school.  I yelled to Bailee and couldn't find her anywhere! I thought maybe she had gone to sleep, but she wasn't upstairs anywhere.  Cole was over at my neighbors (mowing the lawn-- of course) and he said he hadn't seen her either!  Finally, I found her... sound asleep, behind our couch in the corner.

She is finally potty trained but has a hard time keeping her pants on.  I always have to tell her to go put some clothes on.

She has also gotten to the age where she doesn't want to take naps.  If she doesn't she is a beast by 5:00 and often falls asleep in the car.  I am not ready for her to be done napping.

Her hair is still curly as can be and a little out of control.  I love it!

She loves nursery, but cries if her favorite teacher, Mandy isn't there.  She and Mandy's son Mason fight over who gets to sit on her lap.  Such a change from last year when she would lay on the floor and cry until she went to sleep :)

Since she was born she has been on the waiting list for the preschool at the university.  She got in this year and will be going to preschool 2 days a week.  She is very excited!  When we brought home her backpack that we bought she wore it around for days.
