Thanks, Jensen's, for the birthday present for Khloe... and Kayla! How special!
- Baths have turned into your worst nightmare. Quiet a difference from when you couldn't imagine anything grander in life than a bath. Two baths a day would've been great for you, now you don't want a bath, ever. So, why the change? Well you had a couple "No. 2 accidents" in the bathtub and it terrified you. Now when we say it's bath time you say "no bath! no bath!" and cry the whole time. At least we've made progress in the last week so now you'll at least play in the tub without crying; we're working on getting you to sit in the tub again. I hope this phase doesn't last long!
- You really don't enjoy wearing pants. We put them on. You take them off. Most of the day you are missing your pants. This is a problem, especially when we are in public. You know it's wrong therefore you get more enjoyment out of it to take down your pants when we're out. We try not to laugh, but really, it's pretty funny. You run away laughing, we chase you trying not to laugh. It's funny because you're two, this will not be funny when you're eighteen.
- You also like to wear just one sock. Not sure why.
- So, to sum that all up, you wear a shirt, no pants and one sock throughout the day.
- I ADORE the pitter-patter sound of your bare feet running arcross the kitchen floor. And, yes, they are always running. Sometimes spinning. Sometimes jumping.
- You love to try on Kayla's boots in the hall closet.
- You love to do anything Kayla is doing. And this goes both ways too, Kayla loves to do anything you're doing!
- When you answer in the affirmative to us it goes like this, "Yeah! Okay! Sure! Um hmmm."
- Everywhere we go we get, "Whose red-haired kid is that?" or "Where did the red hair come from?" or "Is her hair.... red?" We don't' know where it came from, but it is b-e-a-u-tiful Khloe! And, slowly but surely, it's starting to get a little longer now too, long enough for hair ties (Oh, hair ties is one of your favorite words) and bows.
- You wish you were five years old. You dislike sitting in your booster seat at the kitchen table, you insist on getting into and out of my truck by yourself and and you prefer to not have a top on any of your sippy cups. "No top" you say while holding your hand in a "STOP" position in front of you.
- You can say "Kayla"'s name perfectly now! It's so cute.
- Sometimes I wonder if somehow you sneaked an entire package of cotton candy before your naps and bedtime. You get so hyper before it's time to do down. I try to ignore you as I rock you in the dark but sometimes's your happy smiling face and cute little voice are just too cute to resist. "Mama, clap loud, soft?" And then we clap loud and soft. "Mama, teeth?" And then we look at each other's teeth. "Mama, letter K?" And then we name off the letters on your wall. If we didn't make you go to bed I don't think you'd ever stop!
- Daddy taught you to yell "Yeah baby, yeah baby, yeah baby!" while pumping your fist in the air. You do it every time we ask. It's hilarious.
- You are almost always carrying a stool in your hands. These stools are no small objects - almost 3x your size - but it doesn't stop you from hauling them all over both floors so you can get to what you want - the pen drawer, a light switch, mommy's makeup, turn the water on in the sink, mommy's jewelry, something on the counter, just about anything!
- You are great at putting on shows. Sometimes the shows are all about getting sympathy, sometimes they're because you're not getting your way, and sometimes they are just to get a laugh. You're good at making people laugh, and you also love to do things your way just to be different. That's why we love you!
Family movie night watching 3D Wreck-It Ralph. We love the weekends!
