New Favorites

I noticed that I wrote a post last year listing all of Court's current favorite things and almost all of them have changed since then. She is a very fickle little being and keeping track of her likes and dislikes is almost a full-time job right now, but I'm loving every minute of watching my little girl discover herself. Below is an update of what she likes as of today!

Favorite Color: Purple (Damn you Barney the Dinosaur)
Favorite show/character: Higgly Town Heroes, Max and Ruby, Backyardigans (thank goodness she seems to be over her Wiggles hero worship and can't say I miss Dora the Explorer either)
Favorite movie: Lion King, Lady and the Tramp
Favorite animal: cat (she carries around this little kitty that we bought that is made of real rabbit fur. She is obsessed with our poor cat Leo, who I have to say has yet to warm up to her)
Favorite drink : "Juice red" (cranberry juice)
Favorite meal: macaroni and cheese
Favorite snack: dried apricots, blueberries, Cheez-Its, popsicles
Favorite pasttimes: singing and dancing, stacking her many DVDs into "towers", racing us up and down the hallway, hide and seek, painting with watercolors
Favorite song: Hakuna Matata
Favorite toy: she doesn't much play with her toys, she prefers to play endlessly with household items like a flashlight, cup, coasters, fake fruit, knickknacks, but when she does play it's usually with her Thomas the Train set
Favorite phrases: "I need it" "but mommy I HAVE to" "I think I need a snack" "mommy, let's think about this"
What makes her happiest: Waking up in our bed. The big smile on her face when she rolls over and sees me in the morning is absolutely priceless
What makes her mad: Changing her diaper. Telling her to go to sleep. Putting her in a timeout. "you're making my mad!"

She's such a character...a big personality in such a tiny body.
