The 1st week of June Hallie had her 1st official recital. She did a great job and the smile on her face said it all. The danced to splish splash and her costume was themed after a bath towel
I have been slightly disappointed with how it has all worked out. She did one dance that totaled all of 45 seconds...I would have liked her to danced more of coarse. But she had a great time. Hallie is now 44 months. She is getting so grown up and I may or may not have shed a few tears at the recital. I always wonder how she got so big so fast. She is such a sweet, thoughtful, and tenderhearted little girl. She is still very petite but currently wears a 4T in shirts and pants more for the length and 3T in shorts or capris. Last week I took the remaining few items out of her closet that we 2T more so I could give them to Grace than because they don't fit anymore. Hallie is very easy to please a typical day for her includes getting up about 8-8:30 asking to watch tv while having a sippy with warm hot chocolate and usually some fruit, dry cereal, or a granola bar. If we get ready for the day she likes to pick out her own clothes and has gotten very good at matching cute outfits together. She has been disappointed with the weather change she is a fan of pants and long sleeve shirts so Im constantly sending her back down stairs for a "summer" outfit. She is a very bubbly and social kid. She loves to have friends come over and is for the most part a very good sharer. We recently bought a couple of power wheels(a barbie jeep & a 4-wheeler) she loves them and will ride them for quite a while in the back yard, the sand box is also a big favorite as usual. She loves to play with the puppies mostly once they calm down and will listen to her commands. She is getting better at keeping her panties dry and still a couple days a week will nap otherwise I try to keep her in the habit of "quiet time" but sometimes it falls just as Grace is waking up so it gets forgotten so get other things done. She is so great at being a big sister and can be very protective if someone is not being nice to grace. She always wants to make sure Gracie is included and has a part in everything. It warms my heart and really does make me happy. She loves to go for walks and ride her bike at the cemetery near our house. She still loves to read and we have started reading the boxcar children series at first she asked where the pictures were and I was a little concerned she wouldn't like it but she is attentive and asks questions as I read. I have tried hard to do activities or read with her while Gracie is a asleep so we just get some Hallie mommy time. Each year she becomes more involved in the garden and flowers she loves to water them and watch them grow. She has her moments with eating sometimes a ton and other times she just snacks. She can be very emotional when she is tired. She sleeps about 12 hours at night and loves bathtime. She is still VERY into princesses and we are doing our best to put a positive spin on being a "princess" We love our sweet girl and couldn't imagine life without her
