All About Kayla

There's been so much focus on the baby lately, I wanted to take some time to talk about Kayla and what she's been up to...


Kayla Grace is officially 3 years, 8 months, and 3 days old today. Here are some of her current FAVORITES:

RESTAURANT: Olive Garden (she doesn't really eat the food, just the Andes mints)
FOODS: Lucky Charms (the red cereal is what she calls them), Mac 'n Cheese, Sour cream enchiladas, avocado, purple grapes, sliced tomato (with salt on it)
SONG: Jingle Bell Rock and "Aunt Rhy's Rhy's song" - AKA You Are
BOOK: Cinderella
MOVIES: "Cinderella," "Rise of the Guardians," "Wreck it Ralph," and "How to Train Your Dragon"
BOARD GAMES: Mousetrap, Candyland, Memory
TOYS: Princess barbies, miniature princesses from Candyland, her princess yo-yo, and generally speaking anything else having to do with Disney Princesses

Here are some more Kayla facts...
1. She lines up her toys in single file lines on the floor, in the bathtub, and anywhere else she is playing at the time.
2. She operates the iPad better than I do...which may not be saying much since I'm not the most tech-savvy person. :)
3. She doesn't like to wear PJ's anymore.
4. She prays with mommy every night.
5. She wants to wear her hair down every day so it will "blow in the wind".
6. She picks her boogers and eats them.
7. She can spell her first name.
8. She recognizes the first letter of her friends' names. For example, she'll see an "M" in a book or on a sign and she'll say, "Mommy, that's an "M" for Miles" or "Mommy, that's an "A" for Alexys".
9. She loves getting toys out of the treasure box at school. The kids at her school get stars for good behavior at school. If they collect 10 stars, they get to pick something out of the treasure box. Her favorite thing to get are these sticker dolls that she can dress with different stickers.
10. She LOVES to chew gum.
11. She wants to eat either candy or puppy chow after dinner every night.
12. She loves to throw rocks at any random body of water.


13. She enjoys taking walks after dinner.
14. She loves to blow bubbles.
15. She loves to get her nails painted, but hates having them clipped.
16. She asks on a regular basis, "When do we get to go to NeNe's house?"



17. She thinks a good name for her baby sister would be Maximus.
18. She kisses my belly - her baby sister - every night before she goes to bed.
19. She wants Brian to stay in her room every night until she goes to sleep.
20. She likes to pick flowers for Brian, me, and her friends at school.
