January 25th, 2008 Melanie Posted in Hailey, The Things She Says | 25 Comments »
All of the following are things that Hailey has done recently that (in my opinion) are either cute, funny, or possibly a bit embarrassing (to me). Some may fall into all three categories depending on your perspective.
When someone asks Hailey where her belly button is, she lifts up her shirt to show them. And then- she lifts up my shirt to show them my belly button too. I’m a little bit faster than Hailey, so she has yet to be successful in her attempts to show the world my belly button- but oh how she tries.
When I use the bathroom, and of course I have an audience of one every single time, Hailey waits for the…. ahem…. tinkling noise to stop and then announces, “All done.” Now this is okay at home, but if we were to happen to be in a public bathroom at the time…..
When in church Hailey waits until it is nice and quiet and then calls out, “What’s that?” or “See it!” And, I will remind you in case you have forgotten, that when Hailey asks “What’s that?” or says “See it!” it sounds very similar to a four letter word that starts with an S.
Also in church, when the congregation finishes a song, or the person singing the special song that week finishes and the room is quiet, Hailey announces, “All done.” You know, just in case anyone wasn’t aware that we were all done.
Once again in church, if something funny is said, Hailey laughs loud and long. And she continues to laugh long after everyone else has finished laughing.
When we eat, Hailey insists that we pray first. She folds her hands and waits for me to pray. Then she says “Men.” (Amen) She eats about two or maybe three bites of food and then we must pray again. It takes Hailey forever to eat anyways- and now that we have to pray after every couple of bites of food meal times are quite long.
That’s all for now, but I’m sure there will be more to come.
Now, remember to save your memes for Monday and I will have Mr. Linky up for our first ever Meme Monday. It’s bound to be exciting, or possibly not. Have a wonderful weekend!

If you’ve been reading my blog for a little while then you know about the problems Hailey has been having with her eyes. If you don’t know and you have an extra minute you can read about it here and here. If you don’t have an extra minute- to make a long story short- she does an unusual eye rolling thing. Her doctors have so far kind of brushed off my concerns. Well, last weekend I was able to get her rolling her eyes on video. I am so thankful I was finally able to get it on video so that the doctor could see what Hailey is doing.
I brought it to her doctors office on Monday. On Tuesday I talked to the doctors office and the doctor had sent the video to a pediatric neurologist for him to look at. I am very thankful that a neurologist will be looking at the video. While I think pediatricians are wonderful people they are not brain specialists. The doctors office told me to give the neurologist a few days to look at the video, then he will call the pediatrician back and tell her what he thinks. And, then the pediatrician will call us to let us know what the next step will be. So, after months of worrying and feeling like my concerns were not important to the doctors, I feel like we are finally getting somewhere and I am so thankful for that.
I’ve also gotten a lot of emails and comments from you all about this situation and I am so thankful for that as well. It means a lot to me to know how many of you care about little ol’ me and what is going on in my life. Most of all, I appreciate your prayers.
I will keep posting updates as soon as I know more.
Stop by and visit Iris to see more Thankful Thursday participants.
