Molly Ann


Molly Ann may look a whole lot like her sister, but she is about as different from her as one can imagine. Both girls are very much a joy, and both very challenging in their own way. Molly could care less about tidiness, and would be perfectly content if we never had to comb her hair again. She is much more the aggressor, still. She knows what she wants and how to get it. Within the past few months, she has developed quite the little opinion, and the mouth to go with it (I have no idea where she gets it). The other day, she needed to go to the bathroom while we were driving. I explained that we had no where to stop for a while so she was going to have to hold it for a little bit. She, of course, went into "I can't hold it" mode immediately. After about 5 minutes of continuous reminding, I turned around and re-explained that there was no bathroom in the van, and she had another 10 miles before the next gas station. She shouted back at me, "Fine! Whenever I grow up and you are little again, someday, I'm not gonna stop so you can go to the bathroom!" Tyler & I laughed so hard - I think we just bought ourselves a one-way-ticket to the nursing home when we become incontinent!

She also loves to play 'house' with Rayleigh. It seems that she is usually the one coming up with the "rules" about where that are going, what they are driving, who is driving, who should be the mommy, who should be the baby, who's feeding the dog, etc. I love their imaginations!! They spend the majority of their time playing, and show very little interest in TV shows or movies. They do love music, however. Molly makes a song out of everything - and she loves to hum. I really think she only hums because she knows it drives her dad crazy. Both girls also love to play dress-up, and you should see some of the outfits! Molly also loves story time. Her favorite books include Bears on Wheels, Goldilocks & the Three Bears, anything Dora, and her absolute favorite thing is when Tyler makes up a story (and includes Molly & Rayleigh as characters) - it's usually a doozie.

Molly is going to be Glenda, the good witch, for Halloween. She even has a magic wand and a princess crown! Her babydoll also has a Glenda outfit, thanks to Grandma Nita - complete with crown and all! They think they're pretty big stuff when they're all dressed up! They both love to be told they are beautiful, so we try to remind them often.
