my masterpiece

When I thought about submiting a photo of Hayley for this weeks photofriday “masterpiece” topic I had envisioned a more “artsy” photo. I never thought it would happen tonight in Chipotle. This is a photo of Hayley with her mouth full of cheese quesadilla laughing her head off at Hadyn spinning a penny with his dad. She was laughing so hard she couldn’t breath and she began to tear up. It was the most amazing thing. I have realized for some time that there is no greater sound than that of your child laughing uncontrollably. Hayley is quickly transitioning from baby to girl, and its times like these that I am just amazed by her. Already I can tell that she is a beautiful sweet smart gentle child with a great sense of humor and love of life. She truly is my masterpiece.

For some time now Hayley has developed this habit of putting things around her neck. If she found a ribbon or something she would put one end in each hand and then put it around her neck and pull. It doesn’t necessarily have to be something that is bendable. She has tried plastic bowls, wooden spoons, spatulas etc. It’s the funniest thing. You can watch her and as soon as you see her put the ends of some object in both hands you know she will try to put it around her neck. So knowing this, for Easter my mom got Hayley the perfect thing to put around your neck: a fuzzy pink boa, and as this photo shows she indeed knows how to “work” the boa. I can almost hear her say “Daaaarrrrllling hand me a truffle”.
