All About Tay...


So this blog is more of a record for me to remember some funny things about Tay. If anyone else gets a kick out of if that is great too! Oh and by the way we are on the countdown!! Only one more chemo, two more port accesses, one more surgery and one more round of scans before we can go home! We go on the 20th to draw blood and get counts, on the 1st is her final chemo!!!, on the 15th she gets her scans and then her port comes out the week of the 18th! It is just a day surgery and we will be out of here!

It has been nice to be around family we don't see too often and provide Tay with opportunities to see her grandparents and cousins that aren't by us. It has also been a great faith and testimony building experience to see the Lord's hand in our lives every step of the way. Thanks again for all the support we have received and for all the prayers we are so very grateful.

Ok on to Tay... First, just some of the funny words she says.
Bleeve = bleed, or blood
Paradium = parade (we had gone to aquarium earlier that week and were heading to a parade, I think she was a little confused :)
Lips= zips or zipper
Chuck E. Cheese = Taco cheese (do I not speak clearly??? :)
Hairplane = airplane
I lub you =i love you
I sink =i think
packback= backpack
nember = remember

...I know there is more, I will have to add as I remember.

She likes to play doctor... I wonder why? She gets Broden's Handy Manny tool box and uses them to act out either a doctor (or chiropractor) or a hair dresser (like her aunt Makay).
For instance, the hammer is a blowdryer, the srewdriver a curling iron, the pliers -scissors, the saw- a hairbrush. Or she uses them as different doctor equipment.

Her new favorite song is Book of Mormon stories which she yells, by the way she yells most of the songs she sings unless she thinks no one is listening, then she sings "pretty".

She has gotten very independant. She puts on her own pants and undies and socks and some shoes and with a little help her shirt. She is now potty trained for the second time!! and likes to be independant in the bathroom too.

She is bossy and sweet and has so much personality. SHe is stubburn like her mom (so Aaron says) but tries to listen and be a good girl. She is getting more independant at saying her prayers with less and less help and likes to hear scripture stories.

She needs some reminders to try and talk nice. She resorts to yelling for some reason and one day she was trying to get something in a drawer and grandpa was standing in the way. She yelled something at him and I told her she needed to say"excuse me" so she gets on her best glare and yells, "excuse me". I guess I need to be a little more clear on how to say things to :)

She likes to try out new words now too. She sasy, "that's silly moma" or "guess what? ... I lub you" or "i play a couple minutes" or "just a sec" or "sometimes I get married" (meaning someday) or she says, "I do that alot alot alot" or "first me" or her biggest and longest kick has been about riding on a school bus. A school bus drove by my mom's house and I told her when she gets big like Ryker she could ride a school bus. So she says," I big, but when I get bigger, bigger I ride a school bus like Ryker. She talks about it all the time.

Oh the other day we were talking about going home and I told her it would almost be summertime when we got there. I was telling her about all the fun stuff we were going to do this summer like ride bikes and go to the lake and the Water Park and play in her swimming pool, well a little bit after this conversation she says, "mom, I go to summer?" like it was an event or place to visit! SO cute.

I was getting ready to go to the temple last week with Aaron's mom and Tay was going potty (this is where most of our deep conversations happen) and I told her I was going to the temple. She was quite for a minute and then very seriously said, "mom, you going to get married?" She was so confused. Of course she would think that, that is what I tell her she is going to do at the temple!

Oh and speaking of temples, she calls my engagement ring a temple.

Taylee is getting to excited to go to Sunbeams and start Primary. Even though I keep reminding her she has to go back to nursery for a while first, but every Sunday she talks about when I bigger, after my birthday, and after Christmas I go to Sunbeams. We were walking the halls at church today and she insisted I lift her up to watch in the Primary room window. Everytime I tried to put her down she demanded that we keep watching. I hope she really is excited when the time comes since nursery was such a nightmare for her, but I guess we will have to wait and see.
Well, I am being called to play games so I will add more later. Honestly, I don't know where this girl came from, but I love her anyway!

I love hearing stories about Taylee. I think she has so much spunk for a 2 year old. I am so so so so so so so glad your on the countdown. I can't wait till your home! Ryker and Conner ask at least once a week if we can go to Courts to play.

I love that I have been able to hear Taylee say all of these things myself even is she yells alot! I am also grateful that I have been able to witness the miracle that has taken place in her little life through this cancer. I will miss her terribly when she goes home. I love you Taylee Jean Alldredge!
