Miss Laney

Here is Laney of late.

The other day my mom and I were in the office. Laney was running laps through the office, the entry way, and my parents' bedroom and bathroom. During one of her laps, she found my mom's pajama top and decided to put it on over her dress. During the next lap she decided to replace her dress with the said top. And during the next lap she decided to just be naked.

Laney has always liked dogs. The neighbors (and close family friends) Steve and Colleen have three. Laney loves to go see them. She looks to see if they are at the gate every time we are outside and if they aren't, she reports that doggies sleeping. Colleen brought her this stuffed animal dog. Laney adores it. She cuddles with it and rides it like a horse and promptly takes it from Allie if she ever touches it. (This last part I don't like so much.)

Laney and her trains. She found some Little Tike trains in my mom's toys a while back and likes to get it out and pretend it is a car. Today I was extra nice and set up the track so we could play. She thought it was extra fun especially because the track has a hill in it which she thought was a slide. While she was napping, I cleaned it up. After nap time, she played with the train for a long time- she pushed it back and forth on the stool saying chug chug chug chug and an occasional choo choo.

And this dang car. My parents somehow inherited it from a neighbor. It is probably 10 years old. And Laney thinks it is the best thing ever. Erich is convinced that we should never buy the girls new toys again because they are happier with the old ones. Laney would push this thing around all day if I would let her. Luckily for her, today was a cooler day so we spent some time pushing it up and down the driveway today.

And John taught her something very important for the upcoming football season. Everytime he says touchdown, she throws her arms in the air like a ref and says touchdown!
