As many of you know, Hailey is such a happy and bright little girl, but she has struggled a little with her speech. One of the things she seemed to struggle the most with was "naming" people, including herself. She recently started calling herself "sissy" which is a good start, but we continue to practice "Hailey." We have gotten her to repeat her own name when we say it to her probably 3-5 times now, but today she said her own name, completely unprompted, for the first time. We spent last night at Paul and Marie's house because we were going to celebrate Rob's grandma's (and his grandma's twin sister's) 96th birthday with an open house at the Mansion House in town. The party was a major success and we stuck around for dinner and to play a few games before heading back home tonight. We had finished packing everything up and Hailey and I were standing in the back bedroom. I said "okay pumpkin, time to go!" and Hailey said "I no pu-kin! I Hay-ee!"
Way to go sweetie!!!
