A little personality starting to show through!

Our little Kaylen is definitely not a baby anymore. She's a walking, talking full blown toddler. I have to say, she must be the smartest 18 month old on the planet! (ok, maybe a little biased). Her rate of speech development is quite impressive. I was recently gone for five days to a class in Louisville. It seemed like she had learned a whole handful of new words in the short time I was gone. Just yesterday she came up with two new phrases... "go bed" and "uh oh, potty". As you can guess by the last phase, we are toying with the idea of potty training. She know when she is going, and loves to sit on the potty, but has only actually made it to the potty twice. I don't want to rush her, but I'm excited at the thought of no more diapers!
Kaylen has definitely started to show her true personality. She can be a little sassy and stubborn at times, but is still such a little love bug! Her most recent favorite activity is coloring. This was never something Aiden was interested in so it is fun to see her get so much enjoyment from it. Trent was watching the kids the other day and said she sat for an hour and a half just scribbling on a page...pretty good attention span for her age. She also LOVES to read books. She would be content to just have someone read books to her all day! Also, she has decided she loves to DANCE. Her car seat seems to be her favorite groove spot as most often she is swaying back and forth just feeling the music. He favorite song (gasp) is Katy Perry's "Hot and Cold". Ok, not the best role model for her but it does have a fun beat to it! Her other favorite dance tune is the Napa commercial, so I guess I won't fret too much about the lyrics she is listen to.

Tone deaf!

We were driving along the other day; Kaylen playing in her seat, Aiden gazing out the window and myself minding my own business and singing to the radio. Aiden pipes up "Mom, are you singing?" (me) "Umm...yes, why?" He says "Are you going to sing every song?" (I have a good idea where this might be going). "Maybe, why?" He pauses for a minute. "Because...your hurting my ears. Like REALLY Mom, your really hurting my ears. I'm getting a headache. If your gonna sing you need to do it QUIETLY...."
Ok, ok, I get it. So I'm not going to be the next American Idol. The honesty of a four year old. Gotta love it!
