Hallie-isms

*Hallie was playing on my phone one day and told me to "be quiet" as she made her call. I asked her who she was calling and she said that she was calling the doctor's office. I asked her what for and she said "I want fruit snacks!" (She does get fruit snacks every time we go to the doctor's office). Good luck getting them through the phone, sister.
(all pictures below are self-portraits. Just in case you wonder. She loves to get out the camera, and when she does it is inevitably aimed at herself.)

*While having the hiccups: "I have the hiccups! It's very awful."

(this necklace is from her aunt Mesha. She got really spoiled with gifts after Jace's arrival! She loves the necklace and wears it everywhere, even to bed.)

*One day, while we were at the bank, she needed to go to the bathroom. I took her into the bathroom and there was only one stall with a pretty old and gross toilet. You have to know that Hallie is a toilet connoisseur and rates every toilet she comes across, which is a lot because she insists upon using every toilet in every location we ever go. Anyway, upon seeing this toilet, she pointed to it and said "I need a new potty! That one is ROUGH!"

*She likes to ask how things are going for us. Once, she asked me "How's school, mom?" like she does for Devin. I told her I don't go to school and she responded "Okay, then. How's work, mom?"
*While cleaning up her toys: "I feel the Spirit mom!" (so glad the Spirit is telling her that picking up her toys is a good thing!)


And how is Hallie doing in general you ask? Well, she is having a bit of a rough go. She is really sweet to Jace and likes to hold him and help with his binky, getting diapers, etc. and for that I am grateful. We have only had one incident where she was not very nice to him (and that's an understatement) when she threw a phone at his head. Other than that, she has just been taking out her anger on Devin and I by throwing a LOT of fits. She thinks she is very attention deprived. We are each trying to spend as much alone time with her as possible, but that is kind of difficult with our tight schedules. We are hoping this is a short lived phase!
