Shaylah is definitely becoming her own person these days. She is a very confident little girl during the day and can sometimes be a little too bossy for her mother's liking. Her most common phrases these days include...."I don't like those choices", "That's not fair" and "Remember?". Night time is a different story though, as she has developed a fear of monsters in her closet. She now has an army at her bedside to keep her safe during the night, which includes a red flashlight, 2 plastic dinosaurs (Rex and Goalie) and a bear (Mosita). She also prays for protection every night from the Ultimate Protector (Jesus). Even with this army, it is not uncomon to have Shaylah climb into bed with us during the middle of the night because her fear of the night is too much for her to handle. Shaylah does not like mealtimes and she would prefer to graze all day long without stopping for a real meal. She loves to play make-believe, ride her bike, run anywhere, cuddle, read books and make new friends (which she does so easily). She is loving her swimming lessons and is starting to swim on her own and put her face completely in the water! She knows all her letters, can spell her own name, loves rhyming words, and has a memory that never fails. She is super excited about starting pre-school in September and I can't wait for her to have that experience. She is more than ready!
