She said what?!

Kaile is 2 years and 4 months old. She didn't walk good until she was probably 14 months, she didn't get her first tooth until after she turned one, but she was an early talker and communicator. By 9 months she would tell me "more" in sign language and by 18 months she could say basically any word. Around 20 months she would say full blown sentences and by 2 she could have a whole conversation with me. Not only does she say a lot, but she says it well. She annunicates (is that a word?) very well. Everyday she says funny things, but today she said RUDE things! I really don't know where she gets some of these things! I guess she just soaks in EVERYTHING that she hears (but I swear, I don't say this one)...
Scenario: We had just finished eating lunch... I was cleaning up the kitchen, Glenn was around, and I offered Kaile a popsicle. She, very happily, accepted and she sat down at the table and I brought over a popsicle, took off the wrapper and asked her what color the popsicle was, she said RED. It indeed was red so I praised her for being the smartest little thing ever and gave her the popsicle. I went back to doing the dishes and she sat and ate her popsicle.
The problem: A few minutes later I noticed that she was rubbing her popsicle on the kitchen table.
Me: "Kaile, please stop making a mess. Just eat the popsicle."
I then went back to doing the dishes.... a minute or so passes and I notice that she was now smashing the popsicle on the table...
Me: "Kaile, mommy said STOP MAKING A MESS. I am not going to give you... (I am then cut off)
Kaile: "I DON'T HAVE TO FREAKING LISTEN TO YOU!"
Me: (trying to contain myself, telling myself Jodi she's only 2! She's only 2... wondering what shes going to be telling me at 16 if this is what she is telling me at 2) "GLENN HANDLE HER!"

Honestly she is such a sweet girl, but today was not a good day!

Potty training...

I am so over potty training! Before I had Koa, Kaile was semi potty trained and she was only 18 months! She would go "#1" sometimes in the potty and would "#2" in the potty every time. I really thought I was only going to have one child in diapers... but NO! As soon as Koa was born she would not go anywhere near the potty! Now she's 2 and 2 months and I am WAY beyond over changing her nasty diapers! It's totally grown up pooo! Today I buckled down and when she woke up with a dry diaper this morning I put her on the potty and she did her business! I was so happy! I totally over exaggerated how great she was and gave her a "potty treat" and put her Dora undies on and said "NO GOING PEE PEE ON DORA!" She was like okay mom okay. I asked her every 5 minutes if she had to pee... a little while later I turned on the bath water to give her and Koa a bath and she was standing next to the bath tub as we were waiting for the water to get warm and she freaking peed on my foot! It was gross... to make myself feel better I told myself that she only peed cause the water was running... after her bath I put on Hello Kitty undies and said "NO GOING PEE PEE ON HELLO KITTY!" She went on her way and was playing in her room when Glenn came across a potty training DVD for toddlers. It was the perfect day to watch! A few minutes later I walked into her room to watch the movie with her and she peed on the DVD... she freaking peed on the potty training DVD! I am feeling a little helpless at this point because I know she gets it and she is totally working me! UGH! I am just glad we have a washer and dryer to clean all of the stuff she going to pee all over these next few weeks of potty training...

My Kaile!

Kaile did a little photoshoot last month for a lady who makes dresses and sales the patterns. The dresses were all just adoreable and I wanted them all! Kaile did so great on the shoot. She LOVES the camera and totally knows how to work it.






I may be a little bias... but isn't she so precious!? It must be because she looks just like daddy! I just love this little girl! She is FULL of personality... a true Rex gal!
