Tired Bike

We went for a walk the other day and decided to walk to daddies school. Kaycee wanted to take her bike on her walk. She rode it all of the way to the school. I carried it for her up the hills but she rode most of the way. When we got to the school she wanted to find a bench to rest, not her, but her bike. What a goof. We played for a little while and left Isaac a message that we were there. While we waited Kaycee wanted to take pictures of brother. She did pretty good, except the fingers in one of the shots.





When it got closer to the time for Isaac to leave we watched for him. It is a good thing because his phone died and he didn't get the message. Kaycee saw him driving away and screamed for him and I ran to the road to flag him down. She was so upset that daddy almost left without us. It was pretty funny. She cried for him the whole time as he drove around to the parking lot, she thought he was leaving her. She thought it was so much fun riding her bike to go get daddy and then riding home with him.

Ducks or Fishies?

Kaycee is a great listener! She listens to everything we say and does the exact opposite. Isaac took her to the duck pond to feed ducks today while I went to the laundromat to wash table clothes and go wash the car. Kayden and I had a joyous outing. Anyway, so we always tell her to stay away from the edge. Don't chase the ducks. Be careful throwing bread in the pond. Guess what she does. She stands too close, chases the ducks and goes with the momentum of her toss and falls right in. While I was vacuuming the car out I get a phone call as they are driving home with her crying, "mommy, I fell in the duck pond and daddy pulled me out." She goes on to say, "pappa pulled daddy out of the pond too." Now I know where she gets it from. I guess when Isaac was around the same age his dad had to pull him out of a pond because he fell in too.

This is the only picture I have of her chilling experience, a cold, wet, and dirty white t-shirt.

Isaac put her in the shower and then had her take a bath to make sure she was all clean, got her dressed and we headed to Lewiston for a little family outing. On our way back from Home Depot Isaac wanted to show Kaycee the animals at PetCo. You notice I said "show." I stayed in the van with Kayden, who was sleeping. All of the sudden they come out with bags full of stuff. What could it be? Kaycee has been telling us that she needs a puppy. We tell her we can't right now because our apartment is too small and they don't allow them here. We add in that when we get a house or she turns 5, and I changed it to 4. Now she is satisfied and doesn't want a puppy because she has a pet. Daddy bought her two fish. On the way home we asked her what she was going to name them and she said Bingy. We don't know where she came up with that one but thought it was cute. She couldn't think of another name until we got home and she was feeding them with Isaac. She realized that one wasn't named yet and called him Bingo. So, she has Bingy, the girl, and Bingo, the boy. I wonder if she knows how similar the names are? She is so excited to have her pets and feed them and take care of them everyday. I'll keep you all updated on how long that excitement lasts.

Big Baby

While I was putting Kayden down for a nap I was thinking that Kaycee was being awfully quiet in the living room. Whenever she is quiet I know she is up to something. I laid him down and walked into the living room to spy on her. I peeked around the corner and saw this and grabbed the camera. As soon as she heard me she got embarrassed and ran for the couch. She is such a cook. She said that she was a baby and had to wear diapers. Luckily she just pretends. Everyone warned me that kids tend to digress when you have a new baby in the house. She just likes to play baby. I was also surprised to see that his diapers almost fit her!

Sleepy-Heads

Today we started learning how to write A's and B's and Kaycee's name, at least for her to recognize them written down. Kaycee did so well writing the letters. She remembers B because she says that it is 2 circles and a line. She has a unique way of thinking.

After our lesson she was tired and fell asleep in my arms and then Kayden fell asleep. They were too cute! Two wore out kids. She's had a busy day. We decorated for daddy's birthday, made brownies and took them to the hospital for him, went shopping and had school. She doesn't get wore out running all day but she gets exhausted learning. Hmmm! Is that a bad or good sign?
