Here are a few updates on Miss Priss:
*She still refuses to go on the potty. Not that she can't, but she doesn't want to. She says, "No....no thank you." (And I haven't pushed the issue just yet). It seemed like for awhile before she was even 1 that she could be an early potty-trainer, but these days I'm wondering if we'll be sending pull-ups to kindergarten. :)
*She has just started making her way through the whole alphabet (with a few missed letters here and there), but for the most part she's getting it! Her favorite part recently has been "W, X, Y, and Z". I absolutely love to hear her sing this!
*A little over a month ago she started counting to 10 too. The first time we heard her do this was during a Sunday lunch at O'Charley's and she started in...1, 2, 3. We sat there listening, assuming she would MAYBE get to 5 and she went all the way to 10! It was so neat to see her hit this milestone with other witnesses :)! She's now dropping the 4 (I guess she's not fond of this number) and adding 11-15. Whoa.
*Ansley and Alleigh (our lab) have become pretty tight in the last few months...primarily because Ansley has learned she can kind of "mother" Alleigh. She has learned that she can get Alleigh's food out for her and pour her some fresh water, so she's always asking to see Alleigh. I can hear her now..."Come ere Ayeigh dink your wadder and eat... come ere an eat." She is just too funny.
*She also loves to play on her new playscape that she got for her birthday. She's a slide ADDICT and depending on the day will swing for what seems like 30 minutes at a time! She loves climbing the rock wall (too fast) and making food for mommy or Mimi at her little lemonade stand.
*She started Mother's Day Out in August for the first time on Thursdays and she's loving it! It melts my heart to see our little curly-headed girl bopping into school with her lunchbox in tow. Sigh.
* She loves to watch "T.D." and right now, Sharktales and Charlotte's Web are some of Ansley's favorite movies to watch at Pamaw and Pappaw's house. She loves Wilbur and has been asking her daddy for a pig at the house. Great!
*Swimming at Aunt Debbie's pool with Mimi and BB has also been a must recently! She swims from one end to the other by herself (with her water wings of course) and has no fear. We have to keep a good eye on her for sure!
*We've taken 2 trips with Ansley lately...Pennsylvania (17 hours-to see family) and Iowa (8 hours-for Jason's big triathlon). She does great as long as Monster's Inc. or another movie is on, but her common outburst in the car is "Mommy, I wanna hold you." It's so hard to not yank her right out of that seat and snuggle! :(
*Since Ansley's 2nd birthday party, she's been obsessed with Strawberry Shortcake. She calls her "Strawberry Cake", which happens to pretty adorable. She loves to get our "special" Strawberry bandaids out when she has a boo boo, but then refuses to put them on. Sometimes putting the bandaid on can be more of a traumatic event than the boo boo itself!
*She's started to cross her arms in front of her when she walks anywhere. I want to never forget this phase (hence why I'm mentioning it and you can kind of tell from the pic above) it is absolutely hysterical to see her be-bop around like this!
We love our sweet and sassy girl! Ansley, you are the love of our lives!!
