Here are some updates! The blog is giving me some trouble, so I'm going to type everything here! Hallie has let me do her hair alittle bit: when I did pig tails, she called them "piggy tails." But she does mainly like me not to do anything. Karen and Dean got her to actually get in a little pool at their house! She's still afraid of the big pool though. It's ironic though since she loves to wear a bathing suit! She loves to swing and does well in a big swing now! One of her favorite stuffed animals is now "Geoffrey" the giraffe, which Linda and Gary got for her! She loves her IPAD and is doing really well with the letters games. She can even write some letters since there's an app that focuses on phonics where it says the letter sound and has you write it! She loves to sit in our bed under the covers with the IPAD. She also loves to swing on the treadmill.
As far as shows, she really likes "Handy Mandy" and the Tinkerbell movies (with one in particular that she wants to watch a few times a week. I think Jason and I can quote the whole movie now!) She also found this movie called the "Ooglieloves" on Netflix (but playing with the IPAD) and she wants to watch that constantly! It's a bit annoying for me and Jason, but she loves it! She sings their songs a lot now! A video is at the bottom!
Potty training is not going as well as we hoped. She doesn't "want to" go to the potty most of the time. Hopefully, she's just going to get it on her own soon and be fine, but it's hard right now because I don't get a memo telling me when/if that's going to happen, so I worry. I just don't want to force her too much because I think that would backfire with her since she's so stubborn. So, pray for us to have wisdom with this!
