Hadley at 3 and then some...

Hadley is such spunky, independent and smart little girl!!  WAY too smart for her own good in my opinion :)  But I am loving this time of her life and wanted to record some things about her!
 
Awhile back I did a little interview with her and here are her responses:
 
What is your favorite food?  pancakes
What is your favorite book?  Llama Llama Misses Mama
Who is your best friend?  Livi
What is your favorite movie?  Tangled
What is your favorite thing to do with dad?  Play Save Me (which is really just playing in the couch cushions all over the room)
What is your favorite thing to do with mom?  read books
What is your favorite game?  Hungry Hungry Hippos
What is your favorite color?  pink
What is your favorite animal?  horse
What is your favorite show?  Curious George
What is your favorite song?  the temple one
What is your favorite number?  10 (don't know where that one came from!)
 

 
She really is the best little girl and has been soooo helpful with Brenner.  We went through a rough couple months before Brenner was born but since she has been so good! 
 
She loves to do daddy/daughter and mommy/daughter dates!  She is always up for anything, is always so excited, and makes such a big deal out of it!  She really is fun to spend time with and just talk and talk with :)


During Brenner's morning nap each day we do 'school' where we practice writing and learning letters, numbers, sounds, do art projects and other educational things.  She thinks it's so cool and always asks me, "What are we going to do in school today Mom?"


 
She is still such a good little sleeper!  She doesn't nap everyday (maybe 4-5 times a week) but she would if I asked her to.  Some days she just does a quiet time in her room, where she just plays and eats snacks for 1 1/2 hours.  It is nice for her to have that alone time and it has really helped her learn to play more independently!
 


Hadley is DEFINITELY a daddy's girl and she absolutely loves her grandma and papa!
 
She also is such a water bug!  My parents recently bought a condo in downtown Salt Lake and it has a pool.  She asks daily to go swimming and when we do she will swim all over the pool by herself with her little wings- she has no fear of water!!

 
I had lots of people warn me that 3 is the hardest age.  I was also super worried about how she would be with Brenner coming when she was 3.  But aside from those couple months she has been so good and I wouldn't change a thing about her!!
 
Hadley is always saying such funny things:
 
When I asked her if she wanted me or dad to read her bedtime story she said, "Not you mom, you are not a genius!"
 
I did something she didn't like and she said, "Mom, I am not impressed by that!"
 
She always will interrupt anyone during a prayer and remind them to say, "We are thankful for President Monston."
 
She says, "Honestly Brenner, you have got to be kidding me!  You are hungry again?!"
 
One morning she woke up and said, "I had great dreams about Cindy and Kim last night."  My parents who we should call grandma and papa!
 
I love my little girl and am so glad she is all MINE!

Haha! I love all those funny things she says! I am so impressed with her writing her name! What a smarty. And she is adorable! I really think you just need to move out to California so Mylin and Hadley can be best friends and she can play in all the water she could ever want!

So cute! I love all the pictures & funny quotes! And it is funny to see pictures of her at the BYU Dinosaur Museum--since we've been going there so often lately with Tucker's dinosaur obsession, I almost feel like it's our 2nd home! If you're ever up here again to go to it, let me know & we'll join you. :)
