Yesterday I squatted down in the kitchen to get face-to-face with Kaylee and "talk" to her. She came around to my back, gave me a big hug and a little kiss. So sweet. I reached over to her, kissed her and said "I love you" and for the first time ever, she repeated "I love you." I was overjoyed. Of course I tried to get her to repeat it to Eric but it was a no go, but whoa what great words to hear!
Kaylee wakes up in the morning very talkative and said a lot of things this morning. She said "Dogs" "Puppies" "Jackson" "Go" "no doggies" "arf-arf" and her new word "Rico" pronounced in Kaylee-speak as "Ryco."
"Rrrryyyco, Rrrryyco, Rrrryco!" dog walks away "No puppy!"
Kaylee has started experimenting with spoons and forks. It started when she seemed to want her face wiped between each bite of spaghetti so I handed her a spoon. She's seen them before but is wildly distracted by them as playthings and so I keep them away to keep her eating. She scooped it onto her spoon, and then picked it up with her finger and then into her mouth. hopefully it'll connect soon.
I got Kaylee some crayons to play with this weekend, she spent over an hour with her floor pad of paper trying to color on the paper with some success. She doesn't quite have the coordination to make a mark everytime but from time to time she did. I colored with her. She smudged her hands over my marks, trying to spread out the color and share. She must have some experience with fingerpainting at daycare, they do art projects almost everyday. Her teacher said she is the most attentive student during that time, always excited and with a lot of patience for it.
Then we went outside to try chalk and blow bubbles outside. Out came the neighbor girls and they tried to blow bubbles. At first, we all shared then Kaylee threw a big tantrum because she wanted her turn and wouldn't let go of the wand (no bubbles were blown successfully). The bubbles had to go away so that the playing could continue and now we have a very decorated driveway. It's good that the neighbor girls like Kaylee so much. They invited us over to watch a dance video they made. They laughed as Kaylee danced to their music video.
