And The Beat Goes On

Fun things happening around the Keyes' House lately:

  • Hailey loves to pray at dinner. Once everyone is seated, she reaches out her hand to Ahmad and says "pay!"
  • Instead of saying "peek-a-boo", Hailey says "Boop-a-boo!"
  • Hailey is also saying "bye-bye", "moo", "hoo-hoo", "more mommy", "nose", "eye", "thank you" ("da-doo"), and can make the elephant noise and fish sound
  • Hailey has begun saying "mommy!" when she cries at night :(
  • I sing a "Hailey Hailey Hailey Girl" song with "clucking" in the middle and now Hailey will interject the noises at the right place when I sing!
  • Hailey can point to her head, eye, and nose
  • Miles has done so awesome with his soccer! He made several goals and always put in a great effort
  • Miles has gotten very good at sharing with Hailey; he loves to make her smile!
  • Miles told me that when making his Mother's Day card for me at school that he told his teacher the reason he loved me was because he had a big heart and that he loves Hailey too.
  • Miles said when he grows up, he wants to get a job with games
  • Miles is very proud of himself that he can kill bugs in the house now. Granted it takes like 5 minutes to assess the situation and actually accomplish it, but I'm thankful nonetheless
  • Miles decided that it would be a good idea to put pictures of everyone on their door to their bedroom so that when that person was inside sleeping, everyone else wouldn't miss them. He took it upon himself to take his family photo, get the tape, and tape it to his door.
  • I bathe the kids together and when I rinse Hailey's hair, sometimes she fusses. Miles takes it upon himself to move her hair back out of her eyes for her and tell her that it's ok.
  • I overheard Miles telling Hailey that when she tells him 'no' and to 'go', it hurts his feelings. He's just trying to help her and he's her big brother and he loves her. He asked her if she would not do that anymore because it made him sad. She nodded yes.
  • Hailey has begun telling me when she's going poopy and she likes to sit fully clothed on the toilet and then flush.
  • I ran, yes, RAN, the entire 13.1 mile Mini Marathon!
  • Oh, and we're moving to Atlanta! It's been a crazy crazy month-lots going on, but I was offered a promotion to be Branch Director in our Atlanta, Georgia office and we accepted! We will be moving the very end of June...
