Ever since we pumped Kadyn up to move in her new pink room several months ago, the pink thing has been consuming her. She has now gotten to where she asks for everything in pink.
Me: Kadyn what flavor icecream do you want?
Kadyn: I want pink one
Kadyn: I'm checking my email mama
Me: You are?
Kadyn: A pink one
Me: I'm making chicken Kadyn
Kadyn: I want pink one
Me: You want pink chicken? It doesn't come in pink
I put plates out on the table for all the kids and Kadyn insists she eats the plate with the pink fork. I guess Jeff didn't realize he was starting a pink monster when he so eagerly pumped up the idea of having a PINK room several months ago. It humors me most of the time. Will the child ever tire of pink? She is such a girl!

Blows my mind
No folks, we did not get a partially new fence. The fencing on the left is exactly the same age as the fencing on the right. The difference.....spectacular. The secret....power washer. Jeff got to borrow one and he is going nuts with the thing. It's amazing the difference eh? Now we just have to figure out if we stain it, will it warp the board? We can't power wash the other side because we would be going into our neighbor's yards to do so and they all have chain length fencing butted up next to our fence. So, any brain nerds out there know if we just stain the one side, will it warp the boards?
Budding talents and buddies
Jeff is slowly morphing Kadyn into the son he hasn't had. He was quite proud when Kadyn attempted to play her keyboard and guitar at the same time and just recently bought her her own golf set. The other pics are Kadyn and her daycare buddies, "the boys." Enjoy!
Funny things they say.
Kadyn has said some things lately that I was sharing with my mother-in-law (which ironically was the only mom to call me on my birthday, tisk, tisk) last night on the phone. She asked me if I had written them down so I didn't forget them. I usually do write these things down but have yet too and thought what better way to document them this time around than this blog. Now before I share, I just want to forewarn that I am the type of mother who doesn't want her child to think of her body parts as naughty. To some, it might seem offending that I even taught my daughter these things, to me it's just part of life that we shouldn't be ashamed of.
Now I really got you curious huh? Well here goes the story. Some time ago I was changing one of the boys and Kadyn pointed to the male anatomy as if to ask, "What is that?" Now she has seen one of these for some time now since I have been watching these boys for a year and a half now and changed their diapers a million times in front of her. I think it finally dawned on her that it probably had a name. At the time I didn't know if I was carrying a boy or not and figured she might be seeing a lot more of them if I did have a boy, so I decided to tell her it was a penis and that only boys have them. We talked a little bit about how mommy and her didn't have one but all the boys have them at the daycare. She shared her newfound knowledge with Jeff that night (he seemed a little weirded out that I taught her that). Then nothing more was said. Some time later she was laying on the couch with her buddy Liam kicking her feet up in the air exclaiming, "Shake your penis! Shake your penis!" I just about died.
Last week I was talking to Kadyn about the baby coming and figured it would be a good time to talk about how I would be feeding the baby. She has never seen a woman nurse before so I knew she would be curious when it happened. A friend of mine visited that weekend and she exclaimed. "Mommy have baby in tummy. Milk come out mommy boob at Christmas time!" Again, I just about died.
We have been working with Kadyn on how to put up two fingers to show that she is two years old. This is a more difficult feet than one would imagine. Anyways, to make it more fun so she would practice more, I called them "two bunny ears." When daddy asked Kadyn last night how old I was, she held up her two little fingers and said, "Mommy two bunny ears!"
Last story.....Jeff went shopping with Kadyn for my birthday several times last week. One evening when I came home from a little outing of my own, she exclaimed, "Mommy, mommy, we got you bird day card and CDs!" Jeff didn't even think to tell her what a secret was and that it was supposed to be a secret. A lesson I think I'll remember come Christmas time if Kadyn shops with me for daddy.
So there you have it. My cute stories that I want documented so I won't forget. I LOVE age of two. Kids really do say the funniest things.

Party!
It's my birthday! 31 years of existence. Sucks, however, how the older you get the more they just seem like any other day. Daycare kids are here and everything is like a normal day. I think we're going out to eat tonight so that will be nice. I already got my presents, mostly because Kadyn spilled the beans. I got pot holders, new silverware, and 3 new CD's. I always want practical things. Seems silly to waste money on other things.
So anyways, happy birthday me! Another year down.

Where in the world?
All week I have been unpacking old baby clothes into the baby's room. I just finished my last box. Each box I opened I eagerly anticipated finding the outfit Kadyn came home from in the hospital. It is probably my favorite one. I just finished my last box and it never showed up. Where in the world did I put it? How awful to loose such a keepsake. I planned on getting a new one for the new baby so I could hand each of the girls their own outfits for their little darlings someday. I guess if Kadyn's outfit never shows up it will just have to remain memorialized in her baby announcement and nothing more. How sad!

What happened?
Kadyn has NEVER been scared of thunder or storms. In fact she always used to think thunder was funny exclaiming "Jesus make thuna!" every time she heard it. Then for no apparent reason she decided she was very scared of it today. It was sooo bizarre. I don't understand why the change. It happened around nap time and I tried to just let her cry it out for awhile to make sure she wasn't just yanking my chain. After about 10 minutes I decided it was a genuine fear so I had to go back into her room and explain to her that Jesus makes thunder, and with thunder comes rain to water the plants and grass and that thunder can't hurt us etc. etc. I put on her nature sounds CD, and left the door cracked which I told her I would do as long as she didn't cry and finally she calmed down and went to sleep. I hope this doesn't happen again.
Today I felt a huge nesting urge. I just had to reorganize my entire house. I lifted furniture which was way too heavy, and I probably shouldn't have done. Now my back is sore and the kids have black feet from walking through all the dirt I found under the furniture. I was a bit worried about the baby afterwards of course, but alas I felt little pokes and kicks this afternoon. So all in all I'm still glad I did it. It feels so good to live in an organized house that doesn't look cluttered. It's amazing how everything has a place and then after you live in it awhile and collect more things you just have to go through and purge some things and reorganize the way you store other things. I still have a lot of work to do on the bathroom and baby's room, but for now, at least the main living areas are done. Ahhhh! Great feelings! I'm so glad I feel motivated to do things again now that the morning sickness has lifted. Now it just seems like a race against time to get it all done before I'm really huge and uncomfortable.
