A couple of years ago Haley, Allie, and I were driving over the mountain in Huntsville, AL on our way to the YMCA. Haley kept telling me there was popcorn in the sky. It took me about a week to figure out that she was talking about the clouds. Haley called clouds "popcorn" for the longest time. I had forgotten all about this until Haley pointed out the "popcorn" in the sky while we were driving to the park today. She must have remembered. Don't be surprised that she remembers! Haley never forgets anything unless it's convenient for her (like not to double-dip her spoon in the peanut butter jar or run with open umbrellas in the house). One time while playing with a basketball with her cousin Connor, Connor accidentally knocked the ball out of Haley's hands. She insisted that Connor snatched it and talked about it for the next year any time we mentioned Connor's name. Haley remembers our apartment in Huntsville, people she met a long time ago, and songs we taught her a long time ago. She also knows the songs of all the Disney princesses. She likes me to sing her one before she goes to bed. She has the memory of an elephant. Brent says whoever Haley marries better stay on his toes or he's going to be in big trouble!
