We rarely go out to breakfast these days, (we use to frequently go to the hospital to eat breakfast, but that's a whole other story!) but while Todd was in NYC last week, I took Adalyn to IHOP for the first time. Now Addy loves breakfast foods so IHOP was pretty much heaven for her but I didn't know it would never be forgotten. So throughout the past week Addy has often requested a dining experience at IHOP but I always tell her "not today." Because, I mean, IHOP is okay, but it's not exactly the kind of place that should make someone feel they must come back for more within 24 hours. So Friday night we were out and about and when we started back to the house all Addy could talk about was freaking IHOP. "I wanna go to IHOP!" over and over and over again. Seriously, at least 467 times in the 20 minutes it took to get home. It was at that moment that Todd announced the Bassett family will NEVER go to IHOP again. This announcement only produced more tears, but I was fully ready to support Todd in this decision. It's funny what a night of sleep will do because bright and early the next morning, Todd took Addy on a special to IHOP.Last night after dinner, Ads and I went into her room to play. I often remind Addy that Brynn can't have anything but Mommy Milk! No Addy food! Well, here we are playing with her dolls and she has this rather large stuffed Barney dinosaur. First Ads puts Barney in her little doll crib and tells Barney a few times "No climbing out of the crib!" Do you think she's heard that a few times? Then, she takes Barney out of the crib, proceeds to lift up her shirt and announces that Barney needs Mommy Milk! Of course I just had to laugh because she had never done this before but now that I look back on it...hmmm. Addy has so many cute, little dolls, yet she picks big ol' Barney to feed. I love not knowing what is coming out of her mouth next! It always makes for an exciting day.
Yesterday we took Adalyn to the Lehi Legacy Center to go swimming. She LOVES to swim and has been very sad that the pool at our complex has been closed for the winter. Ads has come a very long way this past summer swimming, thanks to her Dad, who has taught her so much and encourages her to do all the scary stuff!
Taking a ride!
Coming down the big slide...full force!
A little movie of Addy!

SO FUNNY! I have a friend that wrote a whole post about how her kids are like a mini mirror - though somewhat distorted because of the little inexperienced eyes that are observing her. But it is so funny to see kids make sense of what they see...you have adorable kids!
I love IHOP!!!! Sea is like that too, if I tell him we are going to do something in a week or so,he will just keep asking and asking!
We also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Legacy Center! Fun Times!
The Barney thing is hilarious!!! What funny things kids do!!
