I have to take a moment to tell you all my favorite Hailey story...
For the past several weeks at bedtime, Hailey has wanted to read us a book instead of the other way around. Of course she doesn't actually 'read', but she knows the stories and the pictures so well that, most of the time, she gets the fundamental idea (in her own hilarious words).
One night she took me into her room and the book she chose to read was the Dr. Seuss classic "Green Eggs and Ham"
She sat very upright in her chair and opened the book (she looked like she was going to recite some great speech). Hailey closed her eyes, squinched up her nose and very loudly yelled...
"I DON"T LIKE HAM!!"Then she calmly turned to the next page and repeated...
"I DON"T LIKE HAM!!"
This continued for several pages, with the occasional "NO HAM FOR HAILEY!" thrown in. I was literally rolling on the floor laughing. She even had to ask "You OK Mama?"
'I Don't Like Ham' is now my favorite bedtime story of all time!
