At 2.75 this one is taking her sweet time with potty training, but she is getting there. We are down to about one accident a day, more if we play outside. This girl definitely knows what to do.
She’s still a girlie girl and loves dressing up in her pink cowboy boots and dresses. She’ll tell you she’s going bye-bye and don a full set of accessories. Sometimes an arm full of bracelets is required for bedtime. This girl.
She’s also remembering her friends more, even when they are apart. She’ll bring up her friends Keely and Reese out of the blue every now and then. Hailey is crazy about her older friends and has a hard time going easy on her younger friends, but playing with friends is always a blast overall.
She is taking swimming lessons with her friend Elise. The girls have been pool buddies since they were in the womb, and they both love the water! Hailey’s favorite is to swim with the backpack style float on since she can move independently. “Look at me! I’m swimming all by myself!” Still need to work on getting her face wet, but she’s having fun in the pool, and that’s what matters.
