Sleeper Beauty

Yes, Bailey is a sleeper beauty (get it? sleeping beauty - sleeper beauty... disney princess... she's wearin' a crown and a sleeper in the pic below... um yeah, anyway, movin' on now...), but let me tell ya, that girl of mine has quite the temper, and that's putting it mildly. I'm talkin' throwin' herself on the floor or ground kicking her legs, screamin' kinda temper. Yes, she throws tantrums, and she screams quite often... She screams in between bites of food, demanding it come faster... she screams when I won't let her get on the older kid swings, but I end up giving in and getting on it myself and swingin' her, wondering how I'm going to get my big hips out of it... she throws a fit when we're out and about and she wants to go one way while we go the other... she hits... she gets into EVERYTHING!!! ... the list goes on and on. Caitie had her moments at this age, but I don't remember her being quite as 'feisty' as her baby sister. Bailey definitely keeps me on my toes... and on my head, and stuck in swings, and... well, you get the idea.

She may be feisty, and oh so demanding, but she does have a sweet side... like when she shows her big, silly grin... and when she comes up and grabs my legs to hug me... and when she says "sank you" (thank you) and then smiles when I do something for her... and when she gives me a kiss... and when she laughs and smiles real big when I tickle her... and when she lifts her arms up for me to hold her... and how she waves and says "hi" and "bye, bye", to people walking by... and many other sweet things...

Yep, she's my sweet and feisty gal... I think I'll keep her. :)
