Kaylee Turns 8





Happy Birthday Kaylee!  She is eight years old!  Where has the time flown?  Here are 8 fun things about Kaylee at eight years old!

1.  Kaylee loves cats.  She loves everything having to do with cats.  They are her favorite!  Since I am allergic to cats, we will never have one; but she hopes to one day have her own cat!  

2. Kaylee loves her brothers.  She is one of a kind in our home and brings the feminine peacemaker attitude into our home.  She loves her brothers so much that she chose to turn her own room into a toy room and move in to the top bunk of the boys' superhero bedroom.  We plan to add some female superheroes to the decor, including Cat Woman & Wonder Woman.  She certainly loves to be surrounded by people and not alone.

3.  Kaylee loves to give hugs.  She just hugs and hugs and hugs.  Her heart is of gold and she is extremely compassionate and empathetic of others.  That is a gift that sometimes cannot be learned, but for her it is innate.  She is always concerned about other peoples' feelings and she hurts when others hurt.  She also feels joy when others feel joy.  Her middle name fits her most perfectly.  

4. Kaylee has a beautiful singing voice.  She does not sing super often, but when she does, it sparkles.  Her tone and her key are spot on and she does not even realize how talented she is without trying!

5. Kaylee is a little gymnast.  She loves gymnastics and tumbling.  She is getting very good at it too.  When she does a back handspring, her elbows bend, allowing her head to touch the ground; the same exact problem I always had as a kid.  So together we have been doing pushups before bed to strengthen our arms together.  :-)

6. Kaylee is a fabulous little mother.  She is so able to get down to Owen's level, or any young childs' level and speak to them in a way they are able to understand.  Again, this is a gift that does not come easily to all kids or adults.  Yet she is innately able to get through to a child and communicate with them in an amazing way.

7.  Kaylee is so extremely interested in the body and its systems and the way it works.  She is fascinated when learning about white cells and how they attack the germs in her body, or when she cuts herself by accident she excitedly awaits Vitamin K to kick in and stop the bleeding.  She is always asking questions about how things in the body work.  

8.  Kaylee's prayers are the most precious and genuine prayers I have ever heard.  When she prays she always has a lot to say to Heavenly Father.  She prays to improve in skills or in things we talk about at our scripture study.  She prays that she will choose good things and that she will be kind.  She prays for people she knows need prayers.  Her prayers amaze me.  Again, innately spiritual and kind and good and everything in between.  

Happy Birthday Kaylee! We love you very very much!
