Lately, it has been challenging for Carleigh to wind down and take her nap. Well, I sit in the room with her until she falls asleep or she will get up and play in her room. For the past week, she has been singing parts of the songs that she loves including "Five Little Monkeys Jumping On the Bed" and "Jellyman Kelly." It is so hard not to chuckle when you hear her sweet little voice start singing it and of course she omits certain words! (Right now she is singing a song and playing in her room as I type this!) Matt said that she started singing "The B-I-B-L-E" rather loudly in Walmart a couple of months ago, he he he! She is starting to witness very early!! Her latest craze is to join hands (envision the post of her dancing with her boy-friend) and dance with either Cody, Daddy or me. She loves to dance so I may have to get her in dance this fall. Her favorite dance is the Chicken Dance with the crazy Polka music. She can do the dance very well and I must applaud her preschool teacher for teaching her this and giving us the CD with all the songs on it. It does get rather old listening to it as we drive along in the van. Carleigh INSISTS (by yelling "Songs, Songs, ABC Songs Mommy!" and I finally give in and we listen to them. She has already taught Cody many of the songs and movements.
Also, ever since her pig attack, animals, loud noises, and unfamiliar things have been called "scary" and she needs to run into my lap or Matt's to be comforted. If she hears a noise, she says, "Oh, what's that noise?" and you can see her face twist into a concerned little girl. It is so cute and she keeps us all in stitches!
One little not so great thing she has discovered is how to get out the front door. At first, just locking it sufficed, then we had to put the dead-bolt on. Well, she now has mastered the deadbolt and can go out on the screen porch whenever she takes a notion. So, we are going to the hardware store and getting some sort of latch to be put up this weekend. I cannot have her escaping all the time! She is just a smart little cookie! (We locked us out of the house Tuesday night. Matt's parents, Matt and I were getting ready to head inside when Carleigh shut the door and locked the deadbolt! Luckily my mom had a key and came to our rescue. *sigh*)

LOL! She's much like my Brandon. That boy now knows how to take his safety strap off in his highchair and in his carseat. NOT good! And he *loves* the Reds, which just warms his daddy's heart, as Reece could take it or leave it. Brandon's new words are "bae-bl" (baseball), "nigh-nigh" (night night) and "poe" (park) He gets WAAAAY too excited over the park, throwing both hands up as if on a rollercoaster and screaming at the top of his lungs. He's a hoot and it sounds like Carleigh is as well. Aren't they awesome?!
Blessings,
