My Super Brain Power!

I was going through my inbox and I found these two little quotes I had forgotten to publish that Kaylea had said a few weeks ago. So here you go:

Kaylea was sitting with Mimi and was singing with a brush in her hand. Next thing you know Mimi notices the brush is broken in two. We didn't hear a sound of a hard plastic brush breaking or a snap, so Mimi asked her, "Kaylea how did you break my brush?" Kaylea responded, "I broke your brush with my super brain power!"

Kaylea left swim class and said, "Mommy I did so good you didn't even know what to do! You tried to take pictures but I was 'wimmin' and 'wimmin' that you didn't even know what to do!"

My Boot Camp Training

Here is the video I sliced together for the Boot Camp I go to. This is what I wake up at 5:30am for on three days a week! Semper fi!

May I have this Dance?

On Kaylea Mommy Day this weekend, we played dress up. Kaylea dressed up in her Cinderella dress, crown, purse and gloves. She wanted to wait until Daddy came home to take it off. So we waited in full costume for about an hour because she said, "I have to wait for the Prince! He is going to dance with me!"

So when Eric pulled up I put music on and Kaylea greeted him at the door in her Cinderella constume and said, "Hi Prince! May I have this dance?" And the Prince and Cinderella danced away!

Kaylea's Questions...

• "Mommy why are you so irritated?" (I busted out laughing because I've never heard a three year old say the word "irritated" before!)
  
  
  
• I wanted to take Kaylea for ice cream but realized I left my wallet in Eric's car. Luckily I found my debit card, but before I found it Kaylea said, "Mommy do you need money? Cause if you need money I have some in my piggy bank! So, do you need money?"
  
  
  
• "Mommy does God like lightening?" (she thinks he must because we've had so many thunderstorms lately)

The Photobooth at the Mall

One of Kaylea's favorite things to do besides playing on the indoor playground at the local mall is taking pictures in the photo booth there. Here is our latest set.

The Pink Eye Parade

If you get a moment, say a prayer for Kaylea this week. She had an ear infection last week and has been on antibiotics, but it has now developed into a pretty bad eye infection. Her eyes are all swollen full of tears and green yuck and crusties! I was worried her head might start spinning and she'd start spitting peas, so I called the doctor and had them call in some antibiotic eyedrops for her. Unfortunately she had to miss her swim class of which she was not very happy (but mommy and daddy took her for ice cream to make up for that!) She's just absolutely miserable and wakes up in the middle of the night saying her eyes are crusty. Last night she woke up and ran into the door cause she couldn't see or open her eyes. :-( Then after I cleaned her eyes and got her back into bed she came a knockin'. "Can I sleep with you guys?" So with miserable tears in her eyes, Eric went to the couch and Kaylea got in what she calls, "the big bed". Lucky for Eric cause he didn't have a little one kicking him in the face all night! :-)

This morning Eric and I both woke up to crusty and sore eyes. Fun. I still went jogging though. :-) Keep the pink-eye parade in your prayers!

It Breaks My Heart!

Kaylea's Phrase of the Day: "It Breaks My Heart When...."

It started out this morning when we were playing hide n' seek after I got back from Boot Camp. We hid a few times, but I had to get ready for work so I told Kaylea we couldn't play anymore this morning. Kaylea put on the sweetest little voice and said, "But Mommy it breaks my heart when you don't play with me!" (Seriously! Who can say no to that!) The child has mastered parental manipulation!

So I played one more round.... then it was off to the shower and she was started on a puzzle. I overheard her ask Eric really politely, "Daddy will you help me put my puzzle together please?" Eric who was busy online (I'm sure checking his sports websites for the day) said, "sure honey, in a minute". Kaylea waited a minute and then said, "But Daddy, it breaks my heart when you don't help me put my puzzle together!"

I said, "Kaylea where did you get the phrase 'It breaks my heart'?" She quickly shot back, "From youuuuuuu!" So I think later today I'm gonna try, "Kaylea it breaks my heart when you don't eat your green beans!"

Promoted on her 1st Day!

Kaylea went to her first Level 1-2 Swim Class yesterday (its a level in between level 1 and level 2) Well after swimming in that class for about 5 minutes they took her over to the more advanced Level 2 class as she was swimming so good! So she has already been promoted and it was her first day. So now her new teacher is Ms. Cody. Last night she got to race for the first time! They had a girl race and a boy race! There are 4 students including her in the class. The other students are around 5 years old I think, and Kaylea is just 3! Anyways, I will keep you updated on her progress!

PS - Kaylea said, "but how come I didn't get a graduation and a ribbon? lol
