Brooklyn's Day

Just wanted to post some coo coo pictures of a normal day around the house. I find Brooklyn crammed into small containers such as her bedroom organizer cubes. I also usually have a feeling she isn't really asleep or is in a dangerous situation during her nap (you can't quite see anything but her arm but she is asleep entirely underneath her pillow). Her room stays trashed until we decide to clean it with her help and then it is clean for approximately 30 minutes. She is into dressing up "fancy" and making it a point to wear a minimum of 5 outfits per day. She wakes up at about 5:15 every morning saying, "I am hungry. Will you feed me please mommy?" If Aaron and I want to sleep in, we have to rotate whose turn it is and try to sleep til 6 or 7. I prayed for patience this morning and Brooklyn prayed for more attention. We are trying to work on recognizing letters and counting. We usually have to trick her into counting or learning. Becky said Aaron was very disinterested in learning at this age. I'm starting to wonder about Brooklyn! She's more interested in little ponies and trying on shoes, socks and mismatching all her outfits. She is also in a very whiny stage. Everything she asks is in this tone if sadness and disappointment even before she gets an answer. When she doesn't like our answer, she informs us that we are "not her best friend". I like hearing we responses at this age so I am going to ask her some questions: "What is your favorite thing about Daddy?" -that he loves me! "Mommy?"-that she loves me and is kissin me all day! "What does Daddy do all day?" -he gets things for me (haha!) "Mommy?"-kisses me "What do you wanna be when you grow up?" -a sister "What is your favorite toy?"-umm, this is my favorite toy (as she holds up a pony) "What do you not like?" -counting (great.)"Where is your favorite place to go?" -chuck e cheese "Favorite food?"-pizza "What's mommys job?"-Its going at her work. She takes care of the babies. "What is daddy's job?"-working on candy canes...no more questions. Haha! No matter what the stage of your life, I love you more and more each day sweet Brooklyn!
