TAYIA JAY

Just wanted to post a pic of Tay. I am amazed at how well this picture turned out. Tayia does not hold still for pictures very often, let alone actually smile a normal smile. My TJ is growing up so fast. I can not believe that she will be four in just a week. I want to write a little bit about what she has been doing lately. Tayia has gotten to be such a big helper to me. We recently started a "responsibility chart" that has been a great thing for her. It's nice to have Tayia clean up her room, share with Trace, brush her teeth, bath, and most of all- get her hair done everyday with NO SCREAMING! I have decided that even if I am bribing her with a sticker for her chart, it's worth it to not have the daily fights with her. Tayia is very excited for summer to be here so the pool can open. She loves to play with Baxter. She is a good mommy to her little dolly. She loves reading books and coloring. She can write her name. She loves to go to the library and pick out new books and get a movie. Two of her favorite books right now are: Pinkalicious, and Penelope and the humongous burp. She can say her ABC's and count to twenty. She loves to sign. She is in sunbeams at church and loves to sing in primary. Her favorite color is pink and purple. She likes to play games. Her favorites are old maid and cootie bug. She likes to scrapbook like mom. She loves to pick out her own clothes every morning. Tayia loves to say family prayers every night and is sure to bless and thank everything under the sun. Her favorite treat is bubble gum. Her favorite fruit is strawberries and apples. Her favorite vegetable is (peanuts if you ask her) but really tomatoes. What a sweet girl my Tayia Jay is. She is growing up entirely to fast. Love you Tay.
