Kaelynisms


Kaelyn Noelle...you are such a cutie right now.  You are full of personality and are just changing into a little kid instead of a toddler right in front of our eyes.   Yesterday you told us that something smelled “grody” and we were cracking up b/c we never use that word and you used it in perfect context.  Just one example of the leaps and bounds you are making every day!  You also have started jockeying for things…for example, after this movie can I watch Rapunzel next?  Or, when I wake up tomorrow can I go play with Lexie?  I’m very impressed with your day to day knowledge and vocab.  It’s so fun watching this.  You are having a blast with Hunter….one of the first things you say every morning when you wake up is, where is Hunter or can I go snuggle Hunter.  It’s so sweet to see how much you love and adore him.  Sometimes you are highly competitive with him but for the most part you just can’t get enough of him J  

You still love to read books, play with babies, and be outside a lot too.  The way you say your ‘L’ sound is so cute…for example polar bear or stroller you almost stick out your tongue to make the sound….so cute J  You have also picked up on Hunter’s dance skills….your booty dance is hilarious and you like to do it a lot…especially b/c you know it makes us laugh.  Yesterday you offered to take Mommy’s shoes and socks off and put them away for me….you are much more interested in being helpful and are realizing the positive reward of a thank you or a smile and hug.  Some of the terrible two stuff you seem to be growing out of as you are beginning to understand consequences, time outs, etc.   I don’t have to give you timeouts very often….but when you do have one it is beginning to sink in that you aren’t enjoying that and saying sorry is important.  It’s a work in progress.  

You are also very girlie and particular…I have totally brainwashed you to love pink and now I’m trying to let you know it’s okay to like lots of other colors….you only want a pink cup and straw, you want to wear certain shoes on certain days, you always want dresses on…etc.  You love to have your hair done so it is just like Mommy’s which I find to be totally awesome!   I love your style and your girlieness…yet it’s a perfect blend b/c you are a tomboy too for sure!  You are also very athletic and able-bodied…you love running (and shrug your shoulders and pump your arms majorly when you do)….you love to kick, throw, and dance!  Love you K!!!
