Hailey prays now...

Hailey's been so fun the past few weeks. She's learned how to pray. She folds her little arms, bows her head, closes her eyes (some peaking on occasion with faint little giggles) and she sometimes tries to say, "Amen." She's even said her own prayers with her toys. She's doing a lot more talking. Most of which we cannot understand. She has learned to count to 5... usually beginning with the number 2 and ending in "go." I think that was inspired by Sesame Street. Her eating has become a little picky... she's usually such a good eater. She now likes mashed potatoes. Until just recently, she would spit them out. She's really good at feeding herself breakfast cereal. She loves doing it all on her own! She hasn't used her potty much... tries about once a day or so... but not totally ready to potty train. She's getting close I think. She's quite the little smarty pants... when she doesn't want to be in her bed napping, I here "Mama, potty... potty" and she knows I will get super excited and rush her off to the potty and out of her bed... only to throw a fit when I say "okay, time to finish your nap." Hee hee! I haven't focused on it just yet. The weather has cooled down here. Today was only about 98 and it felt like heaven! Weird huh! We're plugging along searching for decent work and doing our best to get by. We miss home, "Boise," very much and hope to plan a visit sometime before Christmas if we can swing it. After Christmas, Hailey won't be free to fly anymore :( I haven't taken pictures the past week or two.. but don't worry.. I will be taking them again soon :) Love and Miss you all very much!!!
