At this time 3 years ago, I was doing this blog post. How time flies. In the last 36 months, Laney has brought so much joy and laughter to our lives. (and just a teensy bit of frustration too).
Laney is Miss Personality. She speaks with her big brown eyes and you just can’t help but smile at her. She knows the right look to give at just the right time. She feels free to do whatever she wants, and is the most stubborn child I have ever met. If she wants something, she will find a way to get it, and usually not get in trouble for it. Everyone that meets her thinks she is “just the cutest thing.” And we agree :) The best words to describe Laney are sweet, smart, sassy and silly. That sums her up.
Laney loves her big sister in every way possible. Lucy is her favorite playmate, her favorite role model and her favorite person to make mad. Laney has the ability to make her sister run screaming and crying, usually because she has taken something from Lucy. Although once Lucy is crying, she is quick to give whatever it is back. It is like she just wants to see if she can make her cry.
Dogs are a love of Laney’s as well. She cries for Ribby when she is sad, loves to hug on her when she is sad, and giggles when Rib gives her kisses. Every morning she is quick to volunteer to feed Ribby and let her out to get the paper, mostly because she wants to be the one to give Ribby a cookie. Not only does Laney love dogs, she also still loves to pretend to be a dog….barking, begging and now even wanting to eat like one.
Here are some of Laney’s favorite things:
- Barbie
- Strawberry Shortcake
- swimming
- gummies
- cucumbers
- her silver sparkle shoes
- running the bases at Wingnut games
- reading books at bedtime
- Angry Birds on the ipad
- playing outside
- filling up her own cup from the fridge
- getting your own snacks from fridge and pantry
- running everywhere
Laney Bug---you make my world go round (along with your sister and daddy). Your growing up is such a bittersweet thing. I love the independence that you are gaining and wanting each day, yet it is sad that you don’t always need help. I love your willingness to try new things and not be afraid of anything, though sometimes you tend to be reckless. I love how you will say random things like “thanks for giving me a bath mom” and how other times we have to remind you not to be so demanding. You seem to have one speed…fast…yet you always know the moments to slow down and enjoy what is going on around you. And even though you hate to be called a baby, know that you will always be my baby. Happy 3rd Birthday Laney! Love you so much!
