Oh Audrey Mae!

Audrey's current loves:

• PINK! Anything that has pink on it automatically belongs to her and is called princess ______. So if it is a shirt it is a princess shirt, if it is a book it is a princess book, even if it is a pink paper cup, it is a princess cup.
• Taking care of Kate.  Audrey is the second mommy around here.  She loves to hold Kate, try and feed Kate, wrap Kate up in "bankies."
• "Killies".  Audrey cannot prounce kitties, but she is obsessed with them.  If she saw a pink kitty I am afraid it would blow her mind!  She loves Secret of Nimh which she calls the "Scary Killy Movie."
• Eating.  Audrey loves food and loves to eat (unless it is her daddy trying to give her something)!  She always tells Grandma Stayner she's "hug-wee."
• A-ma (Grandma Stayner).  Whenever she gets in trouble at home, she informs me she is going "home" to see A-ma.
• Hassa.  She is connected at the hip to her Aunt Lisa.  The only way Lisa ever can escape her is going to the bathroom.
• Playing scary.  My dad chases her around the house and then hides.  She wanders around to find him, then he jumps out and "scares" her, prompting more running and screaming!
• Anything belonging to Jack.  Audrey had middle child syndrome for a while and really struggled with it.  She has gotten better with that but still hasn't given up sleeping in his bed, sitting in his chair, eating off his plate, etc.  Luckily Jack doesn't mind using all the pretty pink princess stuff.
• Being held.  Loves it!
• Giving hugs and kisses.  Anytime anyone is sad, even in a book or a movie, Audrey gives them a hug and a kiss.  If she can't actually get to them, like on the tv, she pretends.  She will even hug and kiss people over the phone!
• Santa house.  Santa brought her a kitchen this year and she loves to use it to make food.
• Talking on the phone (or any electronic device that looks like a phone).  Audrey will have whole coversations on the tv remote!  Quite entertaining.
• Preschool.  She doesn't actually get to go yet, but she loves when she gets to go and drop Jack off in his class.  You usually have to peel her out of the chair to go home!
• Gigi and Papa's house.  Good company, good food, good movies.  Need I say more?
• Leaving the house.  The whole process of putting on shoes, socks, coat, etc.  She just loves going somewhere.
• Shopping.  Audrey is GREAT at putting things in the cart.  Including all the stuff you don't want and/or need.
• Her daddy.  Every morning he is gone, she asks where he is.
• Singing.  Favorite songs: Popcorn Popping, I Am A Child of God, and Itsy Bitsy Spider.  She loves singing anytime, but these are her favorites.
• "Pay Wii"  she loves to play the Wii.  All she does is wave the controller around or stand on the board and flap, but she loves being there with everyone.
• Hannah.  She adores her cousin Hannah and will go anywhere if we tell her Hannah is going to be there.  Once she gets there they don't do a lot together, but that will come in time.
• Accessories.  Audrey loves to be pretty.  She wears multiple necklaces, tried to put on mommy's mascara, and has even been known to put on mommy's deoderant.
• Her family.  Audrey loves being with all her family so much!

Audrey has so many loves I needed to stop here because it was getting late!  Even though some days can be a challenge with a two year old girl, she is a light in my life and I love her so so so much!
