A Few of Mikayla's Favorite Things

I have been thinking as I try to capture those moments of Drew and Mikayla's childhood that I want to remember forever, that I should compile a list of their favorite things (kind of like Oprah - well, minus the freebies as I am on a teacher's salary) and maybe update the lists each year. It would be a fun comparison as they grow and change.

These are a few of Mikayla's favorite things in 2008 (in no particular order):

• Molly (dog), Miley Cyrus, and Jackson (goats)
• Reading - My girl walks around with a book in her hand almost constantly. She's been reading Dick and Jane stories for the past 4 months (a pretty good accomplishment for a girl who just turned four in August). Can you tell I'm a proud mom?
• Writing - If she's not carrying around a book, she has instead something to write on.
• Breanna, Jadyn, Abbi, Annabeth, Timothy, Savanna, and other friends
• Pocketbooks - She LOVES pocketbooks and will frequently have one on her arm as we are leaving the house. Before she could say pocketbook she called them "pockbooks".
• Make-up - Easy to see she's a girly-girl, huh? She loves make-up, and asks daily if she can have some of mine. She has her own that she wears when we are just hanging around the house.
• Games - Candyland, Uno, Connect Four, Memory - she loves them all!
• Puzzles - She has many of her own, but she likes me to bring the ones from my classroom home as well.
• Dancing - She dances every time music plays.
• Singing - She knows many songs by heart and when they come on the radio, she sings along beautifully.
• Glitter - She loves "sprinkles" as she calls them on everything - clothes, hair bows, pocketbooks, the more "sprinkly" the better!
• Cheering - The socializing that goes along with it is also beneficial.
• Baby Dolls - She has too many to count, and she is always carrying one (or more) everywhere she goes.
• Barbies
• Pizza
• Cheeseburgers (no pickles)
• Having Her Hair Braided
• Hannah Montana
• High School Musical
• Pink, pink, and more pink
• Coca -Cola
• Riding her Scooter
• Talking on the Phone

Whew! What a list! Can't wait to compare!
