a (play) date


During our morning walk a play date was planned. Kaylee looks forward to seeing Carter and his baby every morning on our walk. So having him come over to play was gravy. Ridiculous amounts of fun, and only a few small fits about sharing. (Kaylee loves her friends, but has a few toys that she has a hard time sharing.) Then after these two were done playing in the sprinklers and on the slide we (kind of sort of) watched Nemo with Nemo.


Then us Mom’s made some yummy pizza. It was SO lovely having so much fun this morning. Kaylee got good and worn out with all her hard playing. She is napping!!! Come and play ANY time Carter. Oh before she went down for a nap she decided she didn’t like the outfit I picked for her (rude!, hehe) and so she stripped it off and pick out and put on this number. Nice. I asked her to strike a pose so I could take a picture. This is what she did. Funny girl.

Random side notes: Kaylee did not as usual flip out and hide (curls up into the fetal position in the stroller and screams in terror) from the dogs that came near. She even walked passed some VERY nice puppies just holding my hand! She was saying the whole time we were passing the puppies, “it’s all right, we almost done. nice doggies. it’s all right.” I feel like we are FINALLY making progress in that (Kaylee begin o.k. around animals) area of life.

We took Regan in for a walk in weight check yesterday. It wasn’t good, it turned into a visit with the Doc. 🙁 And he has his 9 month WCC tomorrow. So I’ll do an update on him after he gets his shots and new measurements………

Kaylee

I feel like I’ve been neglecting Kaylee because of all of Regan’s stuff. So here is a long rambling mini catch up of her cuteness. Kaylee has been extra delightful (normally is) lately. She is growing up too fast though, and I am having a LOVE/HATE relationship with that. Jon was holding her a few nights ago. She announced, “my turn!” after he handed Regan to me, and climbed onto his lap. He told her that he missed his baby girl and that she should stop growing up. I laughed, but totally agree. She is no longer using her little potty seat. Just sits herself on the toilet and hangs on. She no longer naps (so sad for me) unless she really really needs one. Which most days she really doesn’t and I got sick of hearing her throw fits for hours on end trying to get her to take her 1/2 hour nap. It just wasn’t worth it. Today (right now) is her first nap in a week. She loves helping to take care of Regan. And playing with him. She likes to tell me while they are playing and laughing that, “we playing mom!” She loves painting our nails (her Daddy loves her that much!), and is pretty good at it. She is always doing my hair. She gives us back rubs (so sweet). Kisses us better (I get kissed ALL the time). She reads us book, and sings and dances to entertain us. She is always so concerned when she sees that someone is sad or crying saying, “oh no baby (he, she) so sad. we needa fix it.” She is always making us laugh at the funny things she does and says. Like when we are walking and she decides she needs to pee. I’ll get her out and help her squat and she makes a realistic peeing noise then says she’s all done. It never fails to make us (walking gals) laugh, and she usually does have to pee and will pee as soon as we get home. She is still sassy (yells defiantly “no thank you!” Did you know that was possible? It is.) But also so very sweet telling us every night after she says her prayer (doesn’t need help, and blesses the whole family), “o.k., luv you, sleep so good!”

Josh and his friend Paul (a lovely fellow) came down to see some Shakespeare plays. They stayed at our home. It had been about a year since we last saw Unkie Jots. He and Regan met for the first time. I didn’t get a picture. 🙁 The children enjoyed their new playmates, and Jon and I enjoyed these two house guests. I am hoping they come back down this fall for the Shakespeare festival. I need a picture for Regan’s book. And we need to finish converting Paul to the glories of SciFi. hehehe. (There was a whole thing. Very amusing. But long to get into.) Here are some pictures I snapped while the boys were at a play.


Jon put Regan on the bike for the first time right before he headed out with Kaylee. You can see her waiting by the door with her bag of stuff.


Regan thought it was hilarious when he tipped over.

Happy week everyone…..
