Too Early For Potty Training?

Someone wants to be just like her big sisters. There is no doubt that she has strong desire to be like A & K but I didn't know it extended this far.

Lily stole her sisters undies ran around with them with a giant smile on her face like she had just won a gold medal. After her victory lap she brought me the undies (i was sitting on the kitchen floor) and played keep away until she sat down in front of me held the undies in the air and then placed them on her foot and looked at me like "aren't you going to do something about this? They are supposed to go on me."
And sure enough I put them on and as I was about to pull them over her rush she stood up so I could pull the on all the way. She admired the undies (that which she could...she did just eat and she had quite the little belly on her) and gave me a giant smile and ran to play. Happy, happy, undie wearing child.

She is currently sleeping with footsie pjs on and a pair of undies on top.

Ok! Let's Do This!

A phrase you never want to hear your 2.5 year old saying!

I overheard the girls plotting something over the monitor, mostly jibber jabber but clear as a bell I hear Kaylee say, "Ok! let's do this!" followed by a giant boom and laughter.

I snuck upstairs to catch them in the act, whatever the act may have been, and I find them in their room jumping off their beds happily and then immediately doing a forward roll. I couldn't help but just smile and watch from the partially open door. I was very happy to find them doing a slightly crazy stunt like jumping into forward rolls....I was expecting much worse. Though I still won't feel safe in their decision making when it is prefaced by, "Ok! Let's do this!"

What's Happening.?

What that do?

If I hear that question asked once per day I hear it asked 100x per day. kaylee is just anxious to learn and be in the know. She asks me questions about what is going on during the day all day long- it is so wonderful to hear and see her being engaged in the life surrounding her, though sometimes it gets frustrating answering the same question over and over again.

Other favorite daily questions:
What she do Momma?
What happened? Momma, what happened?
Where we go today?
Who is coming over?
Why her crying? Or Yee-Yee why you crying?

And by the time I answer all those questions one of the others may have the opportunity to get a word in :)
