my way or the highway!

So Hallie is an independent sort of girl. She knows what she wants, when she wants it, and when it doesn't happen she gets a little attitude...
I can't really remember what it was that she wasn't impressed with here; I think maybe that I'd run out of Rocket candies.
She's also been really funny lately about asking what's going on. She likes to be involved and will ask, "What you talking about?" if she feels like she's not part of the conversation; or "What you mean "insert word here"?" usually preceded by a wrinkled nose and several huh? Huh? HUH's? The other day I was a little exasperated with her and let out a big sigh. She turned to me and says, "Mom, why you say *sighing noise*?" Needless to say my frustration was diffused and all Chris and I could do was laugh!

Summer is for the birds

Earlier this month we went with some family to the Bird's of Prey center in Coaldale. Hallie enjoyed watching the birds...from a distance. She wasn't quite brave enough to try and hold the little burrowing owl like her cousins.
