FavoriteThingsNo.2

Over the weekend I took on the task of labeling my posts. As tedious as it was, it was also fun to look back. One post I did that I liked was a post where I listed their 'Favorite Things.' I thought it provided a nice snapshot of them at that moment in time. Thus, I have decided now and then to do a Favorite Things post.

Zachy still likes most of what I listed last time. Especially, his Pillow Pet; their relationship continues to blossom. He continues to love being outdoors and, accordingly, loves his shoes and socks. Of course, he still likes to get a rise out of his sister, until she retaliates, that is.

Three days shy of being seventeen months, some more of Zachy's Favorite Things are:

• Throwing food.
• Throwing things away.
• Getting into the cat litter box with a small bowl or something and scooping it out.
• 'Jumping' on the bed.
• Turning in circles. At first he was imitating Mackenzie playing ballerina, but then I think he decided he just liked getting dizzy.
• Fitting things into things, taking off and putting lids on things
• Running around with choking hazards in his mouth.
• Laughing.
• Being chased.
• Being naughty. Silly naughty that is.

Mackenzie also still likes a lot of the same things as before as well. She still twirls hair, her's and our's. She is still into role play. The newest one is 'Puppy.' BuddyCat, he's a constant. They're attached to one another. And, she still loves her family.

One day past turning three years and five months, some more of Mackenzie's Favorite Things are:

• 'OLIVIA.' She is obsessed with 'Olivia.' At times she makes believe she is Olivia's friend, Francine.
• Purple. She loves the color Purple.
• The book 'Too Loud Lily.'
• Helping and getting praise for helping.
• Accomplishing something by herself. Much as she fights it, she feels good when she 'Does it!'
• Having her very own new special 'place' to have quiet time.
• Using her imagination.
• Not napping.
• Being a Big Sister. She has really started to take on this role and takes her responsibilities seriously.
• Being a 'Big Kid.'
