One of the fun things about knowing a toddler is getting to know their little developing personalities, idiosyncrasies and quirks, and likes and dislikes. I've compiled a list of ten of Lena's most favorite things:
Chick-Fil-A Nuggets with Chick-Fil-A "Dip"
Lena will eat this for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. It is her favorite food. She loves dip like her Mama! We eat this at least once a week and sometimes more often.
ABC by Dr. Seuss
Lena asks for this book EVERY SINGLE NIGHT at bed time.
Art Supplies: Crayons, Colored Pencils, Markers, Chalk, Paints, Etc.
We go through art supplies and notebooks pretty fast around here. Lena has an art station set up in her room and we always have some on hand. This girl loves to draw! Her Sunday school teachers comment just about every other week on how much she loves to color.
Melissa and Doug Alphabet Stamp Set
Lena has developed a very strong love for letters and numbers. I bought several stamp sets off of EBAY for her and I might as well only bought this one because this is always the one she wants to use. She loves calling the upper case letters "Big" in a really low voice and the lower case letters "Baby" in a tiny high voice.
Birthday Cake Pops from Starbucks
I am responsible for feeding this obsession. (They are two pops for $2.50 so I get the other one!) She calls them "Pop Pops" and actually now chooses them over ice cream as a treat. One time I went through the drive thru at Starbucks and they were out of cake pops so I ordered a cookie instead. I tried to warn her before we got to the pick up window that we were not getting "pop pops" because they were all gone but she couldn't comprehend such a tragedy. When we got to the window and she saw the pink pastry bag she shrieked in joy, "There it is!!!!" This quickly turned to sobs the whole ride home as she discovered the cookie and not her precious pop pops inside the bag. It was funny, ridiculous, and sad all at the same time.
Mater's Tall Tales
I am not sure why this is her favorite TV program/Movie right now but she loves this 30 minute collection of Pixar shorts. She will choose it all the time! Seriously, we have probably watched it more than 25 times...at least!
Mc Donald's Sweet Tea
Lena's Daddy is responsible for this recent obsession. She used to call it "Donald Juice". It started just by getting a sip from Daddy's tea and then now she asks for it all the time when we see a Mc Donald's. She wants it more than an ice cream cone!
ABC Song on You Tube
Grandma was the first to show Lena this 50 minute ABC song compilation. It is pretty cute but dangerously catchy. It gets stuck in Lena's head really easily and for hours she will randomly start singing, "H,I,J,K- La La La!" and it drives us bonkers. It also has a lion for the letter "L" that freaks her out. She is so scared of it and I can't figure out why but she still loves this video. The dancing letters are pretty cute.
Pirates Booty or Trader Joe's Puffs
If it is cheesy and crunchy Lena likes it. These are her two favorites.

| I can't say that I was too happy to discover this mess on our bed when Lena literally tore through the bag to have easier access to her puffs. |
About every other day Lena asks to go to the beach. It is a good thing we live near a beach. Sometimes we settle for playing in Grandma and Grandpa's sandbox instead. I still can't figure out why kids like sand so much.

I loved reviewing Lena's Likes. She is so very special. I really missed her this week.
LOL at the cake pop story!
Love your list! Your DD and my DS would get along so well as I recognize so many things from what he loves. I may steal your stamp idea as we do not have any stamps in our house !!! Thank you for sharing!
