Coloring

Today Kaelyn just started working at coloring in the lines. I was very impressed. She was coloring in the hearts on a picture. Her phrases keep getting more sophisticated as well. Today when she couldn't figure out how to get a certain cup to her mouth with her left hand (her right wrist is out again, poor baby) she said, "Me not know how do it" It was so cute. That's our doll.

Kaelyn Funnies

Today at dinner Kaelyn was working hard at making us laugh. She made up something ridiculous to say "Eating the trash can in the trash can" and then tapped day and said "make laugh, make laugh" The make laugh part got us rolling and then she repeated it all a gazzillion times. It was pretty funny I must say and amazes us how kids pick up on these things about saying something for the purpose of getting you to laugh. Too cute.

Such a Trooper

Kaelyn has been amazing with all of the move stuff. She has just tagged along and made her own fun. It has been amazing how well occupied she can stay with books, especially her Bible Stories. So cute. She has done super well with the pottying thing and just continues to amaze us with her words. She tells daddy often that she loves him. She has been showing off all of her skills to her family and keeps us all rolling. She is loving the parks and playing basketball. Today she wanted to play basketball outside when it was time to take a bath and she asked us several times and after we said no several times she said, "pay baskeetba a lil bit later" . Ya, Kaelyn, a little bit later. "ok". So sweet. We are hoping to get to take her sledding this week with the 12-18 inches of snow we are expected to get tomorrow. Fun fun.

Tap Dancing

Spring Weather

We are having a blast with the spring weather. It is so nice to get outside. Kaelyn has been asking to go out all the time and keeps herself pretty occupied out there playing with the goats or digging in the dirt or trying to figure out how daddy's trailer works. The only vice of outside has been the peeing in the dog house. It is inevitable. We are officially potty trained except for that and night times, so the dog house is now off limits (locked) as of today. Kaelyn has hopped over that last hurdle in day time potty training to where she takes herself to the potty or tells us she needs to go. She has gone 5 days now without an accident aside from the dog house. We are so proud and can now be in big girl panties full time (no more training pants).
Kaelyn has been saying some fun things lately that just keep us rolling. Today she out of the blue said "Christmas morning" several times in a row. I was like ok, Christmas morning, what brought that up. Well, there was a gift bag sitting on the counter from my grandmother for her and she was thinking it was a Christmas present. It was so cute and amazing that at this age she is remembering things from several months ago just out of the blue. I loved it.

Some of my favorite phrases are "mommy, hold you?" for hold me, "bye bye, see you ater" for see you later. She has also been mixing up her sentances and it is so cute like her saying, "help you dishes do". She has helped a couple of times with the dishes (really just playing in the bubbles) and anytime she sees me doing them she goes over and gets her chair and pulls it over. I love it.

Here is a favorite conversation as of late:
Kaelyn: mommy, watch couple streets couple minutes? (Seasame street podcasts)
Mommy: not right now
Kaelyn: ummmm, watch Cars, minute?
Mommy: no, we aren't watching TV right now?
Kaelyn: ummm, watch Dora
Mommy: what did mommy say?
Kaelyn: watch Liego (Diego)
Mommy: mommy said no
Kaelyn: ok mommy
