Our Kids’ Favorite Things
Alivia at 4 years old
1. Coloring, drawing and playing play doh: She is getting good at it, so likes to color and draw
2. Dessert: She hates eating meals and can’t wait for the treat at the end of dinner. Perhaps we should eliminate dessert so she will eat dinner…but what would be the fun in that? Alivia does not like cake, however, choosing to just eat the frosting usually.
3. Favorite foods: honey nut cheerios, Cocoa puffs on weekends, totinos (yuck!) and Mamas pizza and onion rings.
4. Playing with Addison (especially with their hair things, playing beach putting on summer clothes in the middle of winter, and playing baby where Alivia is the baby and Addi is the mommy!)
5. Riding her bike (still with training wheels). She said she will ride without training wheels when she turns 5. Okay, Alivia!
6. Piper our cat
7. The desert dome and the jungle at the zoo
8. Watching Curious George
9. Swimming
10. Shopping at Von Maur
* If I could put 11 for Alivia, I would say she loves to show her talents. Likes singing, doing cart wheels and flips in the family room, and reciting her prayers (she has known the Lord's Prayer and Hail Mary since she was just over 4 years old!).
Addison at 2 years old
1. Her Taggie blanket
2. Saying she is “sick” when she is hungry
3. Running
4. Sneaking into Alivia’s room to play at night
5. Playing with her dolls and doggies
6. Sucking her thumb (with her taggie in hand)
7. Favorite foods: Total and special K cereal, vanilla yogurt, chocolate chip cookies, broccoli, and Mamas pizza and onion rings
8. Breaking things
9. Changing her clothes multiple times a day (and always wearing pj's when she naps).
10. Visiting parks & swinging
Asher at 16 months old
1. Being Curious and getting into things
2. Asking “why”
3. Playing with “balls,” whether basketballs, soccer balls, footballs…it does not matter
4. Throwing things
5. Favorite Foods: “cocoa puffs” which he asks for every day but only can have on weekends, broccoli and cauliflower, yogurt, grapes (but he hates it when I cut them up!) and chocolate chip cookies!
6. Playing outside
7. Gadgets that work: Remote controls and changing the channels, our cell phone (why we generally can’t find the phone and when we do it is sticky. He has done things on the phone that I did not even know it had – like speaker phone), etc.
8. Chatting: “uh oh” “Up” saying “snack” when he is hungry or thirsty, "Piper" and “yucko” are just a few of his favorites. Saying, “Mama, Mama, Mama…” is something he likes to say a lot! his latest, as mentioned, is asking, "Why?"
9. Screaming in the car (he learned this from Addison)
10. Cars, trucks and anything that rolls on the wood floor.
