Catching Up

I have been meaning to post a bunch of new things that Kelsey does/says/is into right now, but just feel like I never get to it. So....here comes a random post about what is new with our Kelsey girl

*She likes watching Dancing with the Stars or "dancing stars" as she refers to it. She tries to dance along and usually pulls Matt out to be her partner.

*Her drinks of choice are apple juice or chocolate milk. She likes when we have white milk and then add the hershey syrup.

*Potty training is going well at daycare, but not at home. Our daycare provider says she goes 3 times a day while there. However, we cannot seem to get her to go at home. We'll keep at it.

*She really likes Clifford books. She is starting to like regular picture books more than board books. Board books are nicer because she can turn the pages easier than the regular picture books, but it is good she gets used to them.

*Her new saying is "yeah baby." However, she can't just say it, she has to yell it. She puts her head back and belts it out. It makes us laugh everytime :)

*When she eats she likes to cross her fingers. Not sure what the purpose of this is, but she crosses her ring finger and pinky and pointer and tall finger. She does is randomly throughout meal time.

*She likes to pick the cup she is going to use for meals. She also wants to pick the place she sits as well. Some nights it is musical chairs until she finally chooses a seat.

*We rented the movie The Little Mermaid and she loved it! Add it to the list of movies we will have to purchase. She is such a little movie buff. She was singing along to Under the Sea and it was a total flashback for me because I sang that same song growing up.
.

*She likes root beer floats and m&ms for treats.

*She has been into playing with her Mr.Potato Head. She puts all the pieces in and is proud when it resembles a face.

*We watch a lot of football in our house and she now recognizes it on tv. I think all my trying to convince her to like the Packers is working because she will say "Go Packers" when we ask her who is playing. However, her #1 team is still the Huskies :) She loves going to Daddy's games.

*Daddy is the preferred bath time man. He has helped her name all her toys and they have a blast while they play. A few names include Sally Dolphin, Pablo Pengiun and Tommy Turtle. Daddy even dunks his head in the water so they can blow bubbles together. Singing duets together is usually a nightime ritual.

*She has started to get more whiny when we say "no." She definitely likes to feel like she has a say in what is going on and when she doesn't, she gets upset. She is 2 and we try to give her the benefit of the doubt, yet let her know it is not ok to whine.

*She helps me lotion my belly and talks to my belly. Usually we tell her what to say, but sometimes she will make up her own things to say. So precious! We just know she is going to be a great big sister :)

She looks adorable and sounds unbelievably cute! I laughed a few times while reading this post. Sounds like things are going really well for your family of 4 :)
