What's New with Mallory

We have discovered that Mallory has a temper. She likes to scream, hit and throw things when she is angry. This is something new for us. The two older girls didn't give us much trouble with tantrums. She always says she's sorry when she calms down. She definitely holds her own with her big sisters. Unfortunately Molly has had a few war wounds after one of Mallory's fits. But 90% of the time she is the most adorable, loving girl. She has the cutest little voice and she likes to talk in a high pitch tone when she is very excited. She is very excited a lot. She also talks a lot. She is starting to play with the big girls toys like My Little Ponies and Littlest Pet Shop. She is very imaginative and has conversations with her toys. She also like to play with her kitchen and baby dolls. We've discovered that she is a whiz at puzzles and she loves to sort things and line them up in rows. We may have another engineer on our hands. Coloring is one of her favorite past times. Every night Mallory has to go to sleep with her personalized Veggie Tales CD playing. I can't recall who bought that for her, but she truly loves it! We started a parent and tot class once a week at the rec center. It gives her a chance to climb, play with balls, do somersaults, shoot hops, parachute games, etc. It's a great opportunity for her to learn how to share and take turns. We may have another good soccer player on our hands. She loves to kick and throw balls. It's really nice for her and I to have that special time together. She is very generous with I love you, You're pretty and You are my best friend. All of which melt my heart. It is time for us to get rid of the paccie, start potty training and put her in a big girl bed. I have been secretly avoided all of those things. Number 1, they are all three a pain and number 2, that will confirm that baby, most likely my last baby, is no longer a baby and I'm just not quite ready for that yet.
