This is Hayden Jane.

~ 24 months ~

March 2022

3.1.22 Three successful potties at School!! And poop in her diaper at naptime.

3.2.22 FOUR successful potties at School 👏 She's SO proud!! And, requesting underwear 🥳

3.3-3.5.22 Great Wolf Cousin Trip 🤩 First time sleeping on a bed… 🙈

3.4.22 DRY NIGHTTIME DIAPER! 

Sam's Theory of Three Hayden's: the Past, the Present and the Future.

That's why it feels like it's impossible to keep up with her.

Past is just a distraction from what she's currently doing or about to do. Present is just setting you up for being content and in control, all the while she's working on her Future plans.

3.12.22 Big kid bed! First nap 🤞 … solid 15 min. Awesome night of sleep 👍🥳

Singing 🤩

Sitting in the "back part" of the Costco cart, eating one of the samples

Pretty regular underwear-ing!

Many outings without accidents (Target, groceries). Still waits for diaper to poop 🙃

Brother ("Brudder") Dean, Big Guy. Being silly to make him smile!

Pushing the music button for him in his walker. Wanting to help give him a bottle

 

Naming all of her friends and teachers at school

3.16.22 Thud. Rolled off the end of her bed at 2am 😬 Quick recovery. Then, out of bed, door open and turned her light on at 5:30am… "Hayden wake!" As happy as ever haha

Birthday photos!

See your 2nd birthday letter "HJH 2" for updates on all things Hayden.

Working on number "2" with your fingers

AWESOME job blowing out your bday candle, which shocked Dad and I!

March 2022

Avoids pooping in the potty…🥺

New dresser in her room with underwear drawer and socks drawer

When something is gone or lost or just out of sight, it's "hiding"

Loves Peekaboo and hide and seek  - will cover her eyes with hands and count, "1..2…3…1..2..3"

Her excitement during hide and seek is revealing herself or whatever it is that was hiding 🤣🤣

Working on "thumbs up, dude"

Time of year for walks down Beyer Rd! Looking at horse poop (middle of the road), hoof and paw prints in the mud, listening for birds!

3.19.22 Sick girlie 🤮 First time puking. Really sad

"One minute"

"Later"

"Maybe"

Double barrel Hayden 🙈

Mommy/Daddy

3.21.22 Offering treats (cookies, cupcake, green fruit snacks) in order for her to agree to take medicine … she doesn't eat the treat, mom/dad eat the treat

Lots of I love you, ______ 😍 -- right before bedtime

3.25.22 Trainwreck weekend for birthdays 😭 Seems like she gets overwhelmed and frustrated with so much commotion; big emotions all around

"A… exa, new song" when in the van 

"A… exa, one minute" "Lexa, baby shark song"

 "Canyon, take it nice" when giving him a treat

3.29.22 Plays 'find it' with Canyon. Hides his purple toy (throws it in the kitchen), then says "Free, find it!" 👏👏👏

3.30.22 Snow Day …. And, turd in the potty! X2! Told her she would get a big treat if she went poop in the potty

"Yay, Hayden, turd in potty… Yay, Momma, clean it up… Yay… after naptime, ice cream cone… ice cream cone…" I told her she could have a "big treat" if she pooped in the potty today - and she delivered… twice! Ice cream cone, then donuts 🍩 

Repeating all things!! Full sentences.

"Canyon go? Momma let him in"

NOPE. And, no way!
