My blogspot, oh how I have missed you so! Being without a computer has been tough! A good person let me borrow one for now and we will soon be in the market for our next one. However, this one I am using is a mini one so if I type all funky spelling words, please just excuse me haha! So I love to write updates on keeping up with Hayden and I haven"t been able to do that lately. She is so very .... what is a nice word for stubborn, or hard-headed or strong willed? LOL She is definately a 2 year old! She is wonderful though for sure but I can see the small changes in her wanting to make decisions for herself event o the little things like what she is going to eat. She has never been a picky eater but lately if it isn't what she wants, she isn't going to eat it. I have had to really work on being consistent with all that I say to her to try to teach her the correct way of doing things. It is really hard to do this. I would not have thought it to be hard just to stick to your guns and follow through with it but boy is it tough! We are changing out her door knob in her room and were missing a piece so for a couple nights we weren't able to shut the door all the way as usual and Hayden thought she could just get up and come out of her room at night after we put her down for bed. I would have to end up spanking her to get her to listen but you know she knows better! She would come to the door and peek out and you would hear 2 little feet running back to her bed. You'd go in there and she would be pretending to be asleep. Tell me that wouldn't be hard not to just laugh it off, and maybe even let her stay up and hang out with you or go to sleep with you.... if I did, though, it would make it so much worse in the long run! So here and now... this early on starts the buckling down, strong yet heart-breaking, and loving dicipline! She is a lot of fun now too! She is starting to hear you out and trying to understand "reasoning". We still like to walk and play at the park or with other friends and we go to the gym a couple times a week so she gets interaction there. She does so well in church sunday school and Wed night classes too! Listens well to the teachers instructions and really enjoys the crafts and lessons. It is so cute actually! We are still potty training! I wish I could say she was trained and I am not saying she isn't (or couldn't be at this point) but ike I said, she likes to make her own decisions and this is one of them. I stay on her and so does anyone she is with and she will go but she will not say that she needs to go before she just goes in panties. She most always stays dry during her naps and she stays in panties for them too. She just needs to learn to say "I need to tkae a break from whatever I am doing and sit on the potty" She has not ime for it. haha... too busy!
On another note: Our house is on the market (since June) and no interest yet! :( December will be 6 months and we will take it off with the realtor and do it by owner. Hopefully interest some investors and we will be able to lower or price a little. I am just ready to move on. We have been here 4 years and Justin even longer. 2 bedrooms doesn't give you enough room to expand a family either ;). Praying for the right things to happen and of course knowing that God has a plan always makes life easier to understand!
Good night all!!
