We went to the playground today with Ashleigh’s friend Aaron because the temperature finally rose about 30 degrees. (It was actually 70 degrees today!) However, we have had lots of rain so there were lots of puddles. So Ashleigh had a blast splashing in the puddles!
Now that Ashleigh is (MUCH) more vocal, she can answer questions and has developed some “favorites.” Here are some of her answers (and some answers added in by mommy):
Who do you love? Mommy and Daddy
What is your favorite color? green, purple
What is your favorite food? chicken casserole, peanut butter sandwiches
Who are your best friends? Stephen and Nathan, Frankie, Aaron, Declan (yep- all boys!)
What is your favorite toy? dollhouse, My Little Ponies
What is your favorite book? The Grouchy Ladybug, Dinosaur Time
What is your favorite movie? Wreck-It Ralph and Cinderella
Interests at 2.5 years old: My Little Ponies, dollhouse, dinosaurs, running, helping mommy and daddy in the kitchen, chasing Arden and Hobbes around the house, puzzles, counting and saying the alphabet, reading books
How big are you? height: 36 inches (65%), weight: 26.5 lbs (35%)
Random facts: likes to touch mommy’s belly and kiss baby Miriam, loves to play with “older” boys, is very physically active (run, hop, jump, skip), likes to be very independent (“I do it myself!”) which has resulted in several bumps and bruises and temper tantrums, has developed quite an imagination, says the funniest things, is so smart, trying to learn how to use the potty, loves to sing
This girl amazes us with her ability to read a story a few times and then be able to “recite” it back to us. We got David Gets in Trouble from the library a few weeks ago, and she loved “reading” that one to us. Her current favorite book to “read” is The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle.
Enjoy!
Ashleigh had the honor of being a flower girl this weekend in Matt and Katy’s wedding. Their son is just a couple of weeks younger than Ashleigh, and they are very good friends. They asked Ashleigh to be the flower girl, and she got to wear a beautiful purple dress and ride in a satin-covered wagon and toss out rose petals! She did such a great job!
