Boo Hoo!

Just a couple of things I wanted to share.

-Whenever Kailey is whining for no apparent reason - just to hear herself complain, I will say to her, 'oh, boo hoo'. The other day I was complaining to Jack about something when we were leaving the mall and she turns her head around in the stroller and she looks me in the eyes and says..."BOO HOO" then shakes her head....wow. Maybe this was a fluke but maybe she recognized me whining. I cracked up.

-I bought her a little potty and set it up in the bathroom across from the real one and she was thrilled as heck to sit in it and watch the world go by. She has been tugging at her diaper when it is wet so I thought I would give her a chance to try it out - no pressure. Before her bath 2 days ago I was undressing her and she was determined to keep her boots on so I thought I would sit her on the potty. She used this time to admire her shoes and then she stood up beside the potty and peed on the floor and her boots. She was not thrilled and I could see her wheels turning. She proceeded to try to pick up the drops of pee (yuck) and flick them in the bowl....Ummmmm...close Kailey, but not quite what I was after. This reminds me of when she uses a fork, she will poke the food and bring it up to her mouth then take the food off and eat it. hahaha

-She had a 'shoe meltdown' the other day in our favorite store. She spotted some new bling bling sneakers (tons of jewels and rhinestones...extremely tacky)...she points and says in a very excited voice, "shoe..shoe". I hand her the shoe from the display and she says 'Oh...WOW'. She takes her boot off and tries to put it on and then admires her foot. When the time came to leave and put the shoe back on the display she was more than displeased with life. While crying she was reaching out and between sniffles saying 'sh--ooooooeeee". Poor kid but there was no way I was going to cave as much as I wanted to buy them for her.

-We bought her crayons and a Princess coloring book yesterday afternoon. She was totally thrilled and sat on my lap 'coloring' for almost an hour. She would drop one by accident on the floor and she would say 'oh' and want down to pick it up and then would race over to me and say 'up..up..up". She loved looking through the colors and was really puzzled at the white one...is it broken?..hahaha. She was concentrating and I am sure in her mind she was creating a masterpiece. While she was sitting there working my stomach was flipping and my heart was pounding....SHE IS GROWING UP SO FAST. Slow down little K. I feel so lucky and so much love for this curly haired little lady.

-She always wants her hair brushed & cream put on. She grabbed one of her pink crayons and tried to put it on me like it was lipstick. She swiped my lips a few times and said 'oh and awww'.

-I got a massive hair-cut this weekend (I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT) and the minute Kailey saw me she had to inspect it and, thankfully, she gave me her approval. It is a layered bob about chin length. I will post some pictures at some point.

-She thinks by holding the nail clippers to her toes and making a clicking noise she is actually giving herself a pedicure.

-She has her third canine. Still waiting for the final one and it is being rather stubborn. The poor kid has a rash and she is still fighting her cold.
