Annika loves....

Annika loves...

• Sleeping with toys in her bed
• bringing her umbrella with us everywhere she goes
• picking out what coat to wear when we go out
• princesses
• Bananas, yogurt, cornbread, cheeses (cheddar, parmesan, feta...), beans & crackers
• watching super-why & blues clues on tv
• riding on Saben's old glider bike, especially when we push it for her, but does it herself too
• harrassing her brother for attention
• playing any sort of game with saben & copying what he does (she calls him "sah-bah")
• jumping off the couch arm onto a pile of cushions
• balloons
• reading her princess book
• drawing circles, especially with markers
• getting out lots and lots of paper to draw on, a few marks on each piece
• stickers
• being tickled
• playing hide and go seek
• making us do what she wants us to do
• sliding and swinging
• splashing in mud puddles
• "playing" hi-ho cherrio
• her daddy
• sitting next to us during story time, rather than cuddled in our lap
• sitting in our laps most other times
• singing twinkle twinkle little store and demanding us to sing certain songs (and not sing others)

Things that scare Annika...

• When we let go of balloons and they fly around the house
• WIND. Its November and she is still clinging, crying and even screaming whenever it is gusty outside.
• bugs, especially bees
• men, except for ones she knows very well.
