Words from Kenedi

One of my coworkers once said that 2 1/2 years old is like the baby trap...it's the perfect age that makes you want to have a million more babies because of just how cute 2 1/2 year olds are.  And oh my...kenedi does not let you down.  Her chubby legs and fierce independence.  The way she sucks, sucks, sucks on her binky for comfort.  Her long hugs and sweet kisses.  And now...her cute sayings and little thoughts that she speaks mostly clear enough for us to hear.

Last night when we were sitting down to family fun night (Will's idea) which involved a game of Monopoly, Rob told Kenedi not to touch any of the pieces.  She responded without a thought 'Can I watch then?!' in the sweetest voice ever.  The 4 of us awed over her for minutes.  

Today, as she was standing on her stool painting in her book with a wet paper towel and she calls to will 'Will come play with me?  Sit by me?!' and I almost died.  How articulate this little lady his.  And Will stopped and sat down with her. helped her paint which was equally as cute.  

The birds and the bees

So many damn questions!  So many.  That's what my kids are all about.  It was inevitable that it was going to come...honestly I should have had this conversation years ago.  But I didn't. So while Rob was out walking the dog and Kenedi confused her vagina for a penis...and Will corrected her...we went for it.  Not the whole deal...just information.  I was honest, upfront and asked all of their questions to the best of my ability.  I laughed.  They laughed. and it got a little silly.  Rob walked back in the door just as Will was comparing us to chickens 'laying eggs and everything'....  It was a good start.

Ambassadors

Both kids were awarded ambassador pins this morning at their morning meeting at school. Ambassador are students that follow rules, behave well in class and are good representatives of the school.  So proud of both of them!
