Hope:my little "darling"

Just up from her nap.
Playing at the park. She is showing us "this" or "that".
Digging for gold.

Hope is...well really "coming into her own" these last few days. When I pick Hope up from the gym kid's club, I always ask how she did. Well, usually I get "she was good" or something like it. Yesterday, I asked, and I was told she was a little bully...oh boy. She was taking toys and pulling stickers off the other kids. Today, more of the same. I asked today, and they started to laugh. (not a good sign) Ann told me today she must have told Hope 30 times not to take stickers off the kids. (sticker are placed on all the kids with their info and Mom's info...kinda important) At least she wasn't pushing kids today, or taking their toys. Yesterday, I had to put her into time-out (all be it for 30 seconds on the stair with me hold her down the entire time) because she hit Hunter so hard on the nose with her "nish" (gold fish) snack bowl, it brought tears to his eyes. On Sunday, she was down by another little girl her age, I was standing talking outside the primary room and the little girls were down the hall outside the nursery rooms. All of a sudden, the other little girl starts to cry...loud. Since neither little one could talk, I kind of assumed Hope did something. She has really found her vocals cords lately too. Talking up a storm, plus screaming/screeching when something isn't going her way. I really am laughing, I know she is a completely normal 15 month little girl (who is the 4th child in the family...who has Hayden and Hannah as older siblings-I'm not quite sure who has taught her more :) haha). But still, a bully...nice.

Ok, so I got one of those little accident reports when I picked Emmett up from the gym - someone threw a toy at his head smacked him right in the face. After a little drama, he was fine. Do I need to come bust y'all up? Just kidding...I have no idea who it was, he was fine when I got there. He was taking stickers off yesterday too. I wonder who taught who? Lets blame it on someone else!

I forgot to mention that she is ADORABLE and I love her in boot leg jeans:)

Heather said...

haha Jennifer. I don't think it was her that threw the toy (hopefully) they told me today she was NOT pushing or grabbing toys, but she was taking stickers off like nobody's buisness. And yes, Hayden has taught her well :)

She's just being defensive...get them before they get her.

aw, kids do keep us on our toes, don't they! cute lil' hopey!!! mason's 2nd birthday is next week, and it's really starting to show! :)

Jan said...

She's a cutie -- and I was going to comment just like Natalie did. Mason is nearly 2 and you can see it -- his sweet laid-back nature is still there but there is a tiger there too.
