Toy Stealer


I think I may have mentioned this before.... but you are an incredibly loving, affectionate and even-tempered little girl. It is wonderful - and one of the reasons why people love to spend time with you. In fact, your teachers at TinyMinders - Marina and Helen - actually fight over who gets to hug you first in the morning. It's precious (and makes me feel so good as a mom!)

There is another attribute you have - though funny - is probably not the thing I am most proud of: you are a toy stealer. You have the will of one thousand mountains - which one day will be very useful as you are negotiating multi-billion dollar deals with foreign nationals (or as you negotiate the boarder-cross track at the 2025 Winter Olympics - either one is fine by me!). But as an 11 month old, this strong will comes out with other babies as you try to steal their toys. No matter what the other babies are playing with, you seem to think it is more interesting than whatever you've got going on, and you rip it right out of their chubby little hands. Your daddy and I have discussed this with you a few times now, and it doesn't seem to be getting better. One of the saddest things about this is that you have a reputation for this behavior at school. Even the director knows that little Hadley Larson is a toy stealer! Ahhhh - the pride.

Considering all the other amazingly wonderful attributes you have, I am not going to lose a lot of sleep over this. However, it has me thinking maybe you need a little brother or sister soon so you learn how to share....

i love you madly.
