Macey has some weird phobia of slides. She will ONLY go on a slide if she is on my lap, with both arms around her. That is, until she received her very own hand me down plastic slide (thank you Lisa)! It only took her a few times of me holding her hands going down it, that she decided she could do it by herself! Now she's a PRO! Today she drug me outside so I could watch her scale her way UP the slide, and then slide down on her belly! Who is this dare devil and what did she do with my timid Macey?!
She didn't end it at that, either. She ran inside to grab her stuffed animals that are her babies, and took them down the slide. She kept telling her elephant "S'ok! S'ok! You won't fall! I catch you!" She was SO proud of herself, she was even leaning into it so she would go faster! It was only fitting for me to reward her with a bunch of photo ops.
So, since finding out that I am indeed pregnant... most days you can find me laying on the couch, trying my hardest not to smell anything at all. Macey is kind and likes to play right by me... keeping me entertained all the time.
Like she brings out all of her care bears and dolls... lays them in a very straight and tidy row, and then puts diaper wipes over top of them. After the wipes are placed just so, she strokes their cheeks and whispers "na-night, meecee moo. I love you". It cracks me up. That's how I put her to sleep, she is a stickler about blankets. The top of the blanket has to be covering her mouth, but under her nose... she likes to smell it.
She also likes to run to our window and yell "Mommy! I see a temple!!!" and then she'll say to herself "thas Jesus house." Sometimes she gets confused and calls it a castle. =)
Macey knows the theme song to duck tales (if I'm going to watch movies with her... it's going to be something I like, too!), at the very end she yells out at the perfect time "DUCK TALES, WOOO!" It makes me giggle every time.
And last but not least, she drags her horsey that Randy's parents gave her for her 1st birthday out to the middle of the floor (or, as close to me on the couch as she can get) and rides away. She has picked up a phrase that she likes to say while she's riding... well, I won't ruin it for you. I got it on video! It's hilarious.
What would I do without my little girl for entertainment? Oh, I know... sleep.
