Hailey at Play

Hailey has always been pretty good at imaginative play.  Since an early age she has been able to role-play and pretend to do tasks.  The older she gets, the better it gets.  However, she is still very much in need of having someone play with her.  Actually, you don't get to play with her, you just have to be next to her.

 Hailey has really been in to stacking blocks and making towers.  She loves to create them and make a collection on the table.

 As we all know, there becomes a point when kids push the limits of what us "adults" think is safe.  This is one of those things.  Hailey loves to climb this play structure...scares the hell out of me.

 We can't believe how big our little girl is getting.

 As I've mentioned in previous posts, Hailey is still really into crafts:  anything painting, coloring, cutting, and gluing.  Here she is painting rocks in the driveway.

 We usually have at least one neighbor over to play....everyday!

Here she is painting a flower on her rock.

 I have also spent some time getting independent activities put together for Hailey to do while Sydney is sleeping.  Most of them are fine-motor skills, cutting, etc.  This gives Mommy a few minutes each day.

 Playing kitchen, one of her favorite things.

 Hailey set up a campfire and then insisted we roast marshmallows....I guess why not.

 This is pretty fun!

 Fun at the splashpad.
