Thank you Miss Paulina!

Thanks to Hadley's super smart friend Miss Paulina Salinas Cervantes...Hadley now says "MAMA"!  Such a sweet sound :)  Nevermind that she mostly says it when she's upset/whining/crying and saves "DADA" for when she's happy.  I'll take it!  She also picked up "NO" somewhere along the line, which she pairs with a very effective little head shake.  Still in the cute stage for us though!  I'm sure a coupla years (months maybe...ok weeks) down the road it won't be quite so cute. Come to think of it, there might have been a moment today when it wasn't so cute.  We were in the grocery store and I was letting her play with my wallet...after picking out my linguine I notice that Hadley not only has my wallet open, but has whipped out the black Alaska Airlines visa and is politely handing it to a complete stranger.  When I took my wallet from her and said "no more playing" she actually yelled at me "no no no no" and threw a FIT with a capital T right there in the store.  I must've missed where she turned two....Ahhhh, adventures in parenting.  Gotta love it!

Oh yes do we know about "NO!" Emma is throwing fits like a 2-year-old, too. Like making a snow angel in the sandbox the other day when she was mad. I guess we have to be glad they're trying to become independent! :-) HUGS!
