Kaylea Likes To Share

Kaylea really enjoys sharing right now. This isn't the best picture, but she was sharing her food with daddy.

We started my birthday week celebration by having dinner at Cheddar's with family and friends. Kaylea was excellent and had a great time. We let her play with her food. I think our family and friends thought we were crazy, but I didn't see anything wrong with it. She can be cleaned up! I had a great time and believe it or not, I'm not really dreading turning 30!

Something To Remember

We celebrated my 30th birthday a little early this year and apparently Kaylea was excited (or ate too much cake). She usually is soooo sleepy by 8:00 each night. Not last night. In fact, I think she stayed up until 10:15. Honestly, she was in the best mood she had been in all week. That combined with the fact that I had not seen her too much this week, convinced me we should stay up and play. She was wild. She was running through the house. She was telling us all of the animal sounds. She was so stinking cute. She learned a few new words last night. She says, "night, night" and runs to her room to get her blanket. And she says eyes as she tries to poke your eyes out. She is such a sweetheart!

Mowing

We got Kaylea this bubble mower awhile back, but she just started liking it. The bubbles don't work very well, but I don't think she cares. She actually doesn't want to mow. She wants to pick the entire thing up and carry it. When she tries and can't she gets a little upset and screams.

Water Hose or Shower?

Monday after work, I decided to water my flowers (as a side note, I have kept them alive longer this year than ever). As you can see, Kaylea decided she wanted to take a shower. Look at the picture very close and you can see her sticking her tongue out for a drink. Honestly, this was maybe the most fun I've had this month. It was hilarious to watch her run back and forth through the water shrieking and falling on her butt. She makes me so happy.

Well, I Was Watering The Flowers

Day Care

I cannot believe I forgot to post about Kaylea going to day care. Kaylea started at week care a little over 3 weeks ago. She is going to Wee Care. Lucky for me, her daddy takes her most mornings. It's been tough on both of us. From my experience, the first few times I dropped her off, she wrapped her legs and arms around my waist and neck and screamed when I put her down. The workers are amazing and pick her up and take her to look out the window to look at the birds. I walk out with tears in my eyes, but she has always stopped crying before I get out the door. Today when I dropped her off, the lady asked Kaylea if she wanted to come to her and Kaylea threw her arms out for the lady to pick her up. I think that broke my heart just as much as when she cried. The conflicts of a working mother

Each day we get a report on what Kaylea ate and how her mood was. She cried the first few days, but they said each day that she got better, so that was good news. She no longer cries at day care. In fact, Jordy (since he gets to pick her up most days) says when he picks her up, she is usually in a group of 3 or 4 kids playing.
