When Kids Learn to Talk...

Kyliana and starting to form more and more sentences on a daily basis. About a month ago, I was calling her name, trying to get her attention to do something. I had put on a pair of pajama pants that I rarely use, because it´s usually too hot to wear pj pants, but because of rain, it´s been cooler here than normal. I was still adjusting them as I walked into the livingroom, still calling her name. She looked up and me and says to me (with the same voice I use to praise her clothes or hair when I am trying to convince her that she doesn´t need to change)¨Cccccccccccccccuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttttttteeeeeeeeeee mama.¨ I started laughing so hard, I couldn´t even remember what I was calling her to do. She is quite the clever one when it comes to getting herself out of trouble too. Sometimes she gets her hands around things she should not, such as the baby powder or something. I will say, ¨Ky, give it to me!¨ And she will maybe start to throw a little tantrum shouting ¨noooo¨ and showing obvious disapproval. At that point, I start my three count and before I reach two she surrenders it with a voice that practically sings ¨toma, mama¨ (take it mom). She does know how to melt us both. Sometimes it´s hard to carry though on discipline because Nelton and I are both trying soo hard to surpress laughter. She does have two year old whit for detouring our attention from her mistakes. I always tell Nelton she is Biblical proof of the Proverbs, ¨A soft answer turns away wrath.¨ What will the next months bring forth from her lips?
