Ashley Bear

Ashley, Ashley, Ashley...where to begin. This little girl steals my heart minute after minute, day after day. She is a burst of energy and a chatterbox of cuteness all wrapped up in a very sassy, very messy, petite little princess. We can't get enough of our sweetheart.

 

Best big sister! Every night before bed Ashley must hug and kiss Hailey. She always asks "Where's baby Hady?" I'm so impressed at how wonderful she has been to her baby sister; she loves her so much and has been nothing but sweet!

Ashley loves to be like her older brother! She copies most everything he says and does. She might be our princess but at nighttime she sure turns into a tomboy! For Halloween she insists that she's being Spiderman!

Some notes about Ashley: 

*She may be two but she sure isn't terrible, she's terrific. It's almost impossible for me to get mad at her; because even though she makes lots of mess she is so cute about it and really just so curious. And best of all she isn't a tantrum thrower. She is easy to be with and one of my best friends!

*Ashley loves dogs, taking tubs, playing with pretend food, scooby doo toys, any kind of water play, climbing, jumping, riding bikes, going for walks, helping mommy, coloring with markers, drinking water, setting the table with way too many places, being chased, hiding, the zoo, reading books with mommy, being a cooker or a worker man, dancing, picking tomatoes from the garden, filling her crib with toys, putting on shoes, sitting on mom's lap for dinner and being tickled. *She is a goofball and laughs at her own burps, announces her toots and loves to run around 'nakey' *She is physically tough and oftentimes doesn't cry when I'd expect her to be hurt *Besides our family, Ashley loves her Nana and cousins Lizzie and Callie best of all. *Ashley loves to eat tons of fruits and veggies. Her most favorite foods are pancakes and cheese. She asks for treats, candy and shows all day long. *She likes to sing Twinkle Little Star and Row your Boat. *Ashley's favorite TV show is wonder pets. Her favorite movie is Monsters Inc. *She loves to do silly things and then tell me that she tricked me *She loves adventure and is always up for anything. She isn't afraid. She is a great little friend and companion.*She's friendly, independent, smiley, trusting, a great sleeper, and a great sharer (if asked nicely) *Ashley doesn't like having her hair combed, drinking milk or slow music. *We call her Ashley, Ash, Ashey, Ashes, Ashley Bear, Baby Bear, and sometimes she hears Shley and Ashley Buela.

*Ashley is a sassy little girl with a strong will and mind of her own, and she lets you know it. Don't mess with Ashley! If she feels like giving a hug - it's darling, if she doesn't - she folds her arms and says no in the sassiest tone! If she doesn't want to hold hands she'll bat your arm away, if another child is bothering her, she'll push them down, if a child takes her toy she'll get it back *She talks loudly. She has a loud voice, always! *She is very Mess Prone! She spills, rips and breaks (on purpose and by accident) so much! She is a tornado. *She treats everything like a jungle gym. She climbs up the outside of our staircase/banister to the very top, where I can't even reach her - all the time.

*She is a wonderful sister *She loves her baby Hady to the core *If Andrew takes something from her she gets SO mad but, if he asks her nicely for something she will almost always share and say 'Sure Drew' *Ashley calls Andrew Drew, which he likes. He won't let anyone else call him that. Andrew and Ashley are real buddies and it's cute to see how they stick together when we're out and about.

I wish I could write down and record every darling things she says but, so much of it is in the context. She is sunlight and we love her - mess and all!
