Kaylee Joy continues to be a joy in our home. She is learning and growing so fast! She has so much to say and so much to do all the time. She is a great little communicator and a sweet little singer. I love to listen to her sing in her room during nap time. She sings her little heart out!
Kaylee loved to go out in the garden. She had her rain boots from Grandma Hutchinson and her pink princess gloves and she would get out there in the dirt just like the rest of us. We usually had to changer her clothes every time she went out to the garden, but thats alright! She really loved it out there. She also loved picking all the red strawberries and munching on berry after berry. Her basket of strawberries to bring into the house for our morning smoothie never really got very full. :-)
One day we were drawing with chalk on the patio. All of a sudden she announced that she had drawn a K. So I looked, and indeed, she had!! She had made a K without trying to and she recognized it as a letter of her name! I was so impressed I had to snap a photo!
One of Kaylee's most favorite things to do is to jump off of mommy's bed onto the beanbags and blankets on the floor. The most fun comes when her brothers join her. They have a blast doing this. We've only had a handful of bumps and bruises from this activity so far.... (Knock on wood).
Kaylee is all potty trained. She figured it all out back in February! We've had some hits and misses, but for the most part, she is fully trained! Great job girl!
Kaylee and Dawson both love to take rides in the bike stroller. Sometimes we pull it behind the bike, and other times I will just push it while the big boys ride bikes. She is such a great big sister to share her snacks with Baby Dawson and she loves looking out her side window and watching the ride!
Kaylee is a Daddy's Girl. And Nate is wrapped tightly around her little finger. She adores him, and he adores her. He took her on a date the other night. He asked her if she would go on a date with him, and she misunderstood thinking that she would be left home with a babysitter. When Daddy explained that it was mommy that would be left home with the babysitter, she just grinned from ear to ear realizing that she was the one going out! Daddy outdid himself by putting her carseat in the front seat of his one-row ranger truck so they could sit together. He took her to Kroger for some groceries, but was sure to buy a red rose for her. She was so proud of that rose. We put it in water and its still in her room, slowly wilting. What a fun time for Daddy & Daughter.
Kaylee is a little artist. She still will "color herself to sleep." She prefers a pen over crayons or pencils. She calls it "mommy's crayon." She uses a hard book as her "table" and she will color and color and draw with that pen until she's out asleep. Her drawings are incredible. Usually they are portraits of people, complete with feet and hands and hair. One time she drew a portrait of someone that was shaped like an egg with legs, arms, hands, and feet. We saw a book once that had illustrations almost identical to Kaylee's egg person! It was amazing! She surprises me with her detail in her drawings. She does not scribble, but carefully draws out details.
Kaylee also loves to do the dishes. She and I do the dishes as our dinner chore after dinner every day and she loves it. She loves the library story time. She loves to read stories together. She loves the sandbox and she loves the swings. She loves having a headband in her hair everyday and loves to be "pretty." She is such a happy little angel. We love her to pieces.
