The Amazing, Lovable, Beautiful Layna...

A friend did this for her kiddos and I loved the idea and decided to do it for my little ones. Here's little tidbits about my Layna.

Name & Meaning: Elayna Patrice Caldwell. She is named after her the two greatest grandma's in the world. Chad's Mom's name is Elaine and My mom's name is Patricia. We wanted to do some version of a family name with a unique twist so it could be her own.

Age:
4 years, 5 months

Nicknames:
I call her : Layna, Layne, Missy Moo, or Miss Priss, Sweet Pea, or simply 'E',...Chad calls her Layna mostly, and Corbyn calls her sis & Lala...which is really cute!

Favorite Activites:
Playing 'MOM", coloring with markers, watching movies, Singing & dancing, Pretending, reading books with mom & dad, cooking, making messes, spilling drinks, and arguing with parents has become a recent favorite activity...its because she thinks she knows how to do things better & I really think she enjoys telling us so! And, of course, playing with friends & babysitters.

Favorite Foods:
laughing cow cheese with crackers (any cheese really) chicken nuggets,pizza, milk, apples, strawberries, tacos, eggs, cold carrots, & cookie (dough)

Least Favorite Foods:
green veggies, watermelon, & there more I cant think of...

Favorite Music: Disney Princess songs especially Little Mermaid & Pocahontas, primary songs, Dixie Chicks, and lately, Love Story by Taylor Swift and I do not Hook Up by Kelly Clarkson, she loves to sing and its cute to hear what they sing instead of the actual words...

Favorite Toy:
Baby dolls, board games, play tea set, play kitchen

Favorite Book:
Pinkalicious, Purpleicius, Fancy Nancy books, Knuffle Bunny 1 & 2, Goodnight Moon, any Olivia books, more...much more...

Favorite Item of Clothing:
Gotta be The Dress, she wears them all the time but she loves pjs too! if she's not in a dress she wants to be in pjs. If she takes a nap she changes into pjs so that she's comfty and when she wakes she usually changes clothes again...back into a dress...a different dress... endless changing and endless laundry...

What Makes Her Happy:
playing outside or watching a movie with her mom, bubba or blanket...or any combination of the three.

What Makes Her Sad:
when Corbyn takes her "stuff" and when she skids her knees.

Favorite Phrases or words:

"I like your shoes."
"It's leopard print! We should give it to Grandma- Its her fav."
"Move yourself!"
"Moommm, Corbyn's stinky."
"Mom, you look Beeaauutiul." (I only get it when I wear something out of the ordinary but its really sweet when she says it)

Elayna does this "silent laugh" thats really funny. She doesnt say anything she just closes her eyes tight, throws her head back and pretend shes laughing really hard!

We love you, Layna.
