Little Miss Independent

5 facts about Sloane that you may not know...

1. Sloane is becoming Miss Independent, which has it's good and bad side. She is actually sad when I pick her up from school and that breaks my heart. I know that means that she loves school and I want that, but I have to admit that I miss her running up to me desperate to go home. Every day after school Sloane puts up a fight with me about wanting to hold her lunchbox herself and walk by herself in the parking lot, which is totally not safe. My only solace is that Sloane is back to her needy self at night wanting her mam to rock her to sleep.

2. Sloane is in one word- DETERMINED! No never quite means no to Sloane. For instance, if I take something away from Sloane and put it on the dresser she will push a heavy chair over and climb up to get that item. Keep in mind that she is only 18 months old! In this picture I told Sloane she had to finish washing her hands (which I was helping her do.) Without even a word, Sloane just pushed a chair over and got right back to washing those hands.

3. Sloane hearts Elmo and Minnie Mouse right now. She has a stuffed Elmo she sleeps with every night, which she calls "Melmo". She's not that into watching tv, but if she does it's all about Elmo or Yo Gabba Gabba.
We already purchased Sloane's Halloween costume and it is ...Minnie Mouse. Sloane loves it, except for the ears. Can't wait to take her trick or treating in it.
