Bailey is a lot more curious and daring then Peyton was at her age. She is always testing Dan and I and Peyton. When we tell her no, it's like a challenge to do it until we physically stop her. For instance, if she is touching the buttons on the TV (while Peyton is playing the Wii) and we tell her to stop, she does it more, then we walk toward her and she starts acting all jumpy and pushes the buttons as many more times as she can before we get close enough that she can't get away. She does that with pretty much anything we tell her not to do. The other day she was getting into the cupboards (which Peyton NEVER did) and she came into the living room with a bottle scrubber. Along her path she is stopping periodically to scrub the tile, the wall, then the carpet, the couch, then back to the wall, then the tile. I have to admit, even though she got into the cupboard (under the sink!) which is a big NO NO, I was sorta proud that she was cleaning. At least if she is getting into things she is helping to keep the house clean. She is her mothers daughter:)
She also wont stay out of the garbage in her room, it's been a constant battle. She empties all of the diapers and any other trash as she is yelling "EW" over and over, then comes out with the empty trash can!
You can see her mouth in this picture, she was still saying "EW".
The semester is almost at an end (thank goodness!) Only 2 weeks left! The kids have pretty much adjusted to daycare but their immune systems sure haven't! Bailey has been sick 4 times (thanks to her thumb sucking) including a cold, pink eye, adenovirus and currently bronchitis. Peyton has been sick 3 times once with a cold, then pink eye (from Bailey, then I got it) and something nasty right now that is making his asthma flare up pretty badly which has also included diarrhea and throwing up once. I have been told many times by many people that they will catch everything, and they have! I'm sure it will continue next semester. Anywho, I am really glad they have pretty much adjusted and Bailey even has a few days here and there that she doesn't cry when I drop her off. I am so excited for finals to be over and Christmas break to be here, I'm sure it will go by much too quickly.
Bailey REALLY wants to be exactly like her brother!
I just have to post these pictures and I can without worrying since my blog is private now. I usually am not a big fan of the kids running around without clothes on, in fact this is the first time Bailey ever has, excluding her trips to the bath. She was so dang funny, it was like she felt free or something. She was jumping all over the bed acting loopy and crazy. What a silly girl!
