favorites vs not-so-favorites

As the girls were settling down before bedtime tonight, I was watching both girls and what they were doing. They definitely have their favorite things to do, play with, and say right now. Along comes some of their least favorite things to do. I enjoy looking back at my old blogs and seeing how the girls have grown so I thought it would be a fun post to describe these things as they are today. (since they may change tomorrow)


Macey's favorite things:

*movies- Milo and Otis, of course anything Dora, Wizard of Oz, and Winn Dixie

*books!!!!!! The girl could read or be read to all day long if possible, which I love. Her favorites
lately are a search book called Christmas Fun, Snow Day, and Little Critter books.

*taking a bath

*changing her baby doll's diapers and clothes. Today I found a pair of her own leggings on her
doll.

*eating "nacks" - suckers, yogurt, and chocolate are her favorites

*bossing her little sister around and telling her what she is "allowed" to play with.

*asking questions- Today on the way back from getting groceries we decided to get fast food. We asked Macey if she wanted McDonalds. She then had to question it, "Dad you said you wanted Taco Bell at home today, rememeber that? Why you not want that anymore? Don't you want a taco anymore? I like tacos, do you like tacos? She will go on and on and on.......

*sleep- we are blessed that she enjoys her sleep. Last night she asked me to put her to bed.


Macey's not-so-favorite things:

*sharing her toys

*brushing her teeth

*eating- unless it's a "nack"

*when we tell her she can't watch a movie




Kelsey's favorite things:

*hiding bottles or sippy cups under the couch
*eating finger foods or anything someone else is eating
*pointing her finger at anything she thinks is exciting
*her big sister
*taking baths
*babies
*Macey's *clean* underwear- she gets so excited if she finds a pair and is determined to put
them on either her head or feet
*getting into cupboards, fridge, or anywhere else she shouldn't be
*giving kisses
*music- the girl's a dancing queen!


Kelsey's not-so-favorite things:

*getting her pajamas on
*when we tell her "no" -we get a whine OR a big smile while she attempts again
*when her sister takes something away from her
*when I'm talking on the phone because she wants it
*taking naps- talking and playing is much more fun
*ceiling fans- on or off
*when her sister goes to the naughty spot



I have to leave you with a picture of my mischievious little one discovering fun in one of the many cupboards this house has that is not yet child proofed.

Oh I remember those days when they rearranged the lower cupboards for you. It can keep them contented for hours ! Macey, I love books too. When you come visit aunt Rachel she still has all the boys books you can read too.

Reading about your girls is such fun Jenny! They are the cutest!

The lists you come up with are so entertaining, Jen! It brings back memories of what it's like to have little ones.

Ditto on the books, Macey. Aunt Jean has lots of them for you to look at, too. You can come to my house any time....

I didn't realize Kelsey had a fear of ceiling fans. I'm trying to figure out what she is getting into in that picture...arts and craft stuff? :)

what a great idea to put these times in writing, just down the road things will change so much and it will be interesting to see the different interests (and dislikes) they both have. :)

I made the top of my blog at www.scrapblog.com - i just made a scrapbook page and saved it as a .jpeg and then uploaded it into blogger in the heading section. If you want help, let me know pumpkin312@gmail.com

Sheba's cousin Misty is really really afraid of ceilings fans, I think they think they are going to fall on them....So glad about Macey's love to read, can't wait to see these 2 darlings on Wed, now that I can hear!!!!

Fun to read. I heard today that you can get your blog made into a book. That would be so fun for you to do, especially with all the pictures. Did you know that?
