Miss Temper

On Monday Haley made her first trip to the library. I had looked online to see that story time was on Monday's so Grandma took her only to find out they don't have it during the summer. But while they were there, another grandma had her granddaughter showed up so the two girls ended up playing with each other. Haley really liked the puzzles and was "talking" away to the other girl. Grandma tried to explain using a library voice but the more she told her to whisper the louder Haley got! Then the pre-school kids came in from day care and Haley was so excited she just wouldn't stop talking. She loved all the kiddos and had a good time. Grandma got Haley some books and hopefully they will go back soon.
On to Ms. Temper. Her personality has really started to come thru and I think Haley is trying to test us at times. Like yesterday when she tried to dump over Buster's bowl. I told her NO in a very stern voice and she laughed at me. Oh boy...I think we're in for it! She has managed to throw a few temper tantrums too but they are too cute to get mad at yet.
She has also become quite the climber. It seems like overnight she figured out how to climb up grandma's stairs. Within 2 seconds she is up at the top. I think she goes fast because she knows she shouldn't be doing it. We haven't bought a gate yet for Grandma's but have devised a temporary plan. So on Monday after Grandma caught Haley going up the stairs she put a road block in the way and Haley gave Grandma the meanest stare and then started crying huge tears. If she is not climbing up or over then she is under something. She loves to go under the tables, especially if the dogs are under there. Good thing Buster is pretty good with her and will just move. Cade is another story but he is getting better when Hurricane Haley comes thru town.

Look at me walking! I can take 4 or 5 steps on a good day

Help, I'm stuck
