2008

Wow! I can't believe its been a year since I last wrote. That is HORRIBLE. I really should stay up to date. 2008 has been a great year! Hadley has done really well and is growing and is now a little girl. She just turned 3.

We had problems with biting this year. I would venture to say this went on for about 8 months. She still tests periodically but the kicker was when she was restricted from Harley (the cat) for almost 3 days. Since then she's bitten twice and attempted once. All it took was taking the cat again for a day and she's done well the last few weeks.

Hadley has really improved with trying new foods. I'm happy to say right now she's more in line with a picky toddler. We've really been working on "no thank you" rather than tossing her plact accross the room if she doesn't want to try it. So far I'd say she says that more than the food tossing and screaming now. Makes for more pleasant meals. She is on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich kick right now. She'll eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some days that is breakfast....

This Summer we went to Colorado Springs in June with my parents. On the way out there Hadley her first ice cream cone at a Runza. We had a great time, but naps were a challenge on vacation. You know how important those naps are. Hadley also spent a lot of time feeding ducks with her Grandpa Kaczmarek and her Daddy when I was at work on Saturdays. She is such an animal lover!

Hadley FINALLY went to her toddler bed this Spring. Bed time was challenging. I swear we were a family right off Super Nanny! One night she yelled for 4 hours. We called on some help and finally found that the Sleep Fairy works wonders. If she stays in bed the Sleep Fairy will bring her coins that she puts in her musical bank. We make a big deal and she thinks its great.
