Things LEAH Likes.....

Over the last few weeks of school and into the beginning of Summer I have noticed quite a few things that Leah likes; some mischievous, others just plain cute. Whatever the reason, here's a glimpse into the personality of "Leah-Beah". Enjoy.

Leah's 6th Birthday was in June. She repeatedly asks to go to Chuck E. Cheese to visit her all time favorite ride....the pony!

But, since I am such a "mean mom", I said "NO" to Chuck E. Cheese for this year and made her choose something different. We ended up at McDonalds! (Word to the Wise: Always Think Twice!) I also decided to surprise her with a Madagascar 2 theme party. As you can see in the end she loved it!

Leah also got to take cupcakes to her Kindergarten class for her birthday. Chocolate cupcakes with red frosting! As you can see.....she also loved those!!

Dress up is another of Leah's favorite things to do. I must say......I'm pretty sure I wouldn't recognize Leah on the street in this get-up!

While reading my book one afternoon last week I fell asleep. While I thought my kids were responsible, I woke up to see that Leah had one green leg and one red leg. Hailey had decided it would be funny to color Leah's legs with "non" washable Crayola markers! It took a few baths and a lot of scrubbing, but we did get her legs back to a normal color! (Later I found out that I should have tried baby wipes.....so there's my useful piece of information to you all!)

Last week at our library Clifford came to story time. I knew Leah would enjoy it so I dragged Hailey along, who at this point is too "old" and too "cool" to want to go to story time! I tried and tried to get Hailey to stand in the picture with Leah, but alas.....I did not succeed! Leah was thrilled to see Clifford though! My baby is still a baby! (Kind of.....)

As I mentioned earlier, Leah loves animals! Here is her pet snake she played with outside. Her idea of playing was to throw him in the air and watch him hit the ground and then run and pick him up and start the whole process over again. I guess we need to teach her what is socially acceptable still......

Sometimes Leah likes to bring outside inside. She had asked if she could have a pot of dirt that was sitting by the steps outside. Naturally, I said yes. I innocently thought she was going to play with it outside. Well......I was wrong! She decided to take it into the bathroom and make mud in the sink. As you can see, it doesn't quite look like mud. Probably because the pot was mostly filled with small rocks, some sand, and a few particles of actual dirt. Matt had quite the fun time unclogging the drain after this one!
