Kayleeism and a Regan update

Is it sad that our 2 year old knows how to give exams from viewing SO many? Or that we are comfortable enough in our Dr.’s office that we help ourselves to supplies for Kaylee’s entertainment while we wait to be seen?

She was telling Jon to say, “Ahhhh.” (notice she even has her gloves on.)

She really likes to stick the tongue depressors down our mouths (so gross). And when she is done giving all three of us a once over (she even tells us to sit on the exam table) she throws everything away into the bio-hazard bin (yes her hands get disinfected after). Maybe she’ll be a doctor when she grows up?

Regan seems to be is regressing. He has lost 7 oz in less than a month. Which for another child is probably no biggie, but Regan is skin and bone to begin with. For him almost 1/2 a pound may as well be 20.

We went and had a visit with Dr. M on Monday to check out some swollen neck lymph nodes and to see just how much weight he had lost. (I knew he had lost due to clothes fitting baggy.) She recommended that we go ahead and get the scope since the BV is coming back and he is loosing weight again. So we have an appointment with Dr. K tomorrow. Regan has to be seen within 30 days of a procedure for the insurance to be happy. And since he was doing so well it’s been over a month since we last saw Dr. K. He is already on the scheduled for the scope and biopsy. That gets done on Friday.

So this week I will feel like I live at Dr’s offices. It’s a REAL good thing Kaylee LOVES Dr. offices. Oh, and his lymph nodes are swollen, but not worrisome yet. We have a list of things to watch for.

Kayleeism


This is her new thing. Yup. She likes to wear an eye mask on top of her head. It is also sometimes a gas mask (when watching Daddy spray paint) as well as being a regular cover your eyes eye mask. Monkey see Monkey do. And Miss has seen Yaiyai wear this guy around our house when she visits. So it’s the new cool thing to do. She can’t lay down with out it.

Fun (and not so much fun) things to remember about Kaylee this month:

~You have been going straight to melt down when you need/want something. You sound as if you have been seriously injured because I didn’t psychically know you NEEDED milk. We have to pry the “pleases” out of you.

~We always get a, “Thank you.” But even better you almost always say, “Thank you VERY much!” Which sort of makes up for the fits. Sort of….

~You have taken over your own discipline. You will count to three and then spank your own tush. (seriously!) We are looking into different methods. You know for those occasions when a time out is not cutting it.

~You love to exercise with Mama. (pretty cute watching her zumba)

~You have been camping out in the living room at night after scripture and prayer to watch a princess/toy story/shrek movie. Not sure it’s the best habit, but you are a night owl (like your Mama) and so it provides Mama and Daddy some Kaylee free adult conversation/show watching time.

~You are starting to be a bit of a picky eater. grrrrrr. When I say bit. I mean bit. It’s not bad. Just new, and occasionally frustrating.

~Still just so loving. And SO loved.

2 1/2 years old and a Kayleeism

A couple of weeks ago Kaylee turned 2 1/2. I was going to do a big post about her full of cute picture from that day. But life happens. And instead of having a day of dressing up, doing nails, and posing for the camera. Kaylee spent the day playing with our two little emergency (their baby sis decided she wanted to come 6 wks early!) house guests. Which was more loved by both of us anyhow.

I decided that I’d save her dress up shoot for her 3rd birthday, but I still wanted to do a post about Kaylee at 2 1/2 years old. Her likes/loves, and dislikes/hates. So here we go.

Likes/LOVES:

Color: Orange
Food: Pizza
Movie: Any princess/barbie movie or Toy Story
T.V. show: Dinosaur Train (PBS)
Book: How do Dinosaurs say Goodnight (gonna need a new copy soon, & the rest of the series)
Drink: Smoothies or Strawberry milk
Toy: Lamby & babies
Game: Starfall or playing mommy/doll house
Shoes
Nail polish
Lip gloss
Jewelery
Dinosaurs
Nutella
Her family
Walks
Shopping
Cleaning
Cooking

Dislikes/hates:

Being told NO
Naps (when she really does need one, and I force it)
Boogies
Bugs

Aside from her spectacular tantrums (nothing new there), she is at such a wonderfully fun stage in life. We think it’s scary how cute/adorable she is most of the time. She is so loving and thoughtful. Such a little nurturer. Also feisty as the day she was born. But really, doesn’t everyone love sweet and sour? Sweet with a little kick? LOVE IT! And HER!

Some random photos of her royal cuteness over the last couple of weeks. And the Kayleeism. Enjoy.
