Kaelyn's Blog: She Loves Her Veggies

This past week or two has been a wonderful change in the veggie department. Kaelyn seems to really love broccoli and has been talking about it at odd times. Weird, I know, but wonderful. She also ate yellow squash like a champ tonight and devoured butternut squash soup and asked to eat tomatoes yesterday. What is going on with our child? I don't want to change this. She has also started to like eating meat by itself instead of hid in things. That makes life so much easier.

The pottying has gotten so much better except when she downs a whole 12oz of slightly flavored water. It is kind of humerous at that point when she potties every 10 minutes for the next hour and a half. Kaelyn just got over a case of bronchitis and seems to be healthy at the moment. Yeah!!! Amen!!! And she has slept past 7am the last 2 mornings. A dream come true. This morning it was 7:40!! Her naps have been fabulous too for the past week. She has been sleeping on average 3 hrs. Makes for getting lots done.

She is enjoying the Christmas season this year and we are having fun with it. Her favorite song is jingle bells. She could have me sing it 20 times a day if I would. She talks a bit about baby Jesus in the nativity. Speaking of Jesus, the other day I was praying with her before bedtime and out of the blue she said "thank you Jesus, Amen" She said her first prayer on her own. It blessed our hearts so much.

Another fabulous breakthrough has been the nursery at church. We decided to go ahead and put Kaelyn in the 2 year old room because she is potty training seems so much happier when she comes in there. Now whenever we get near that room so tries as hard as she can to wriggle out of our arms and says "pay"(play). Last week we left with her screaming "PAY". She was not ready to go. It was a nice change from coming to pick her up with a tear soaked face. I think that she just really enjoys the little bit bigger kids and the toys. I know have some other stories to share, but I can't think of them right now.

Stuffing her face with yellow squash.

We had a full day at home yesterday and she was getting bored toward the end, so we got the play dough out. It kept her occupied on her own for about 30 minutes. Notice the tongue sticking out slightly. A thinking face. Just like Daddy.

Having fun with a boa

This picture is a classic. The other day she had wanted to put her boots on, so we did, and I was cleaning out her closet. She found her swimsuit top and asked me to put it on. Then she was searching everywhere saying "panties". I wasn't catching on. She final found what she was looking for and it was her swimsuit bottom. Silly mommy and smart daughter. She looks lovely don't you think. This sparked the idea of getting some dress up clothes for Christmas. Don't read this Kaelyn or you will ruin the surprise.
