Haircuts, Pedaling, and Watering Plants!

Hallie gave me a haircut today with the curling iron!  She brushed my hair a bit too! (I did get my haircut about a month ago!)
 
 
This was a few weeks ago, when the weather was actually nice!  She's starting to understand how to pedal! We look forward to summer and her learning more!  Yes, she's going down a hill, but we think she's getting the concept!
 



 
Jason's strawberry plants a few weeks ago!  They've got more blooms now! 
Our first season of strawberries!
 

 
At Linda and Gary's in mid April!

She got completely soaked watering the plants!
 




 
She's been testing the waters more with us lately, throwing bad temper tantrums!  Yesterday morning, she had a fit over Jason putting a skirt on her!  We hope she'll like skirts again this summer but so far, she's only wanted to wear pants.  It can be a battle to just put on clothes!
 
Sometimes, she won't listen to what we say, then she'll do this mischievous laugh.  Sometimes it’s funny, other times it feels very disrespectful, like she doesn’t take Jason and I seriously.
 
Hallie doesn’t seem to be a morning person either.  Twice this week I went into her room after 7:00 and she said, “No, want to go to sleep!  I tired!  I don’t feel good!” She really was fine, but wanted to stay in the bed longer! So, I’ve figured out if I wait just a few minutes and come back, she’s ready to get up! Then, it switched a she woke up on her own at 6:45....never predictable!
 
I remember telling Jason when Hallie was a baby I thought she was a night owl!
 
Her new favorite show is the WonderPets.  We watched the same episode about a Reindeer just about every day this week.   The songs keep torturing Jason and me.
