A Little of Everything

I feel like the past week has gone by in the blink of an eye! Mattey continues to finish up his grant for his master's program. He is so close!!! Kelsey and I have been trying to give him all the time he needs to complete it, although we do like to give him breaks now and then. Let's hope he is done soon!!!

Diane made tye-dyed shirts with all the kids the other day. Thanks Aunt Diane!

As for Kelsey girl, she is doing great! I thought a top ten was due to update you on what she likes to say and do......

10. She likes to play hide and seek. She will count to ten and with her hands on her eyes, and then say "ready or not, here I come." She likes to yell" where are ya?" as she looks. When she is the hider, she thinks she still needs to count and then pops out right away.

9. She is completely a daddy's girl these days. If Matt is gone when she wakes up in the morning, the first thing she asks is "where daddy go?" Then she will answer her own question by saying "daddy go baseball game" or "daddy go golfing" When Mattey is home, she attaches to him and has to be right with him doing whatever he is.

8. She loves pretzels. It is her snack of choice. Although, popcorn is slowly creeping up there.

7. Her favorite movie to watch is Finding Nemo. I needed a break from Charlotte's Web, so I tried this and now this is the movie she always picks.

6. She tells Mattey and I "I love you too, Daddy/Mommy forever" It seriously melts our hearts :)

5. She does not want to sit in her booster chair anymore. She likes to sit on a regular chair with no help. I have gotten her to let me put two chair cushions underneath her so she can at least see her food.

4. Every morning she asks for cereal for breakfast. Don't get me wrong, it sure makes an easy breakfast for me! She likes Lucky Charms and Trix.

3. She has currently named her baby doll Emma. I told her we should give the baby a name and I listed a bunch. She picked Emma. She likes to say "baby emma fussy" and then she proceeds to hug her and say "shhhhh" in her ear.

2. When asked how are you going to be, she responds "I be 2, (while holding up 5 fingers). When asked what is your name, she responds "Kelsey Skala" and when asked where she lives, she answers "ooooooowatonna."

1. She is very inquisitive about things. "Why you do that?" "What happened?" " Where are ya?"

1a. I had to add this one because we think it is pretty funny. When it is time for something to be done such as time to go inside, she will bargain with you and say "5 minutes?" Also, if she doesn't want to do something( which happens to be going potty on the toilet right now) she will say "not today" when you ask her to go.

She had her 2 year pictures (yes, I said 2 years--isn't that crazy??) taken on Sunday and we absolutely loved our photographer. We will get the pictures back in about 4 weeks, but I am very hopeful we will have some great shots. She was with us for 1 1/2 hours. She was so good with Kelsey and just went with the flow. Can't wait to see how they turn out!
