Little Miss Bossy

Kaylee definitely knows what she wants (not that she always gets what she wants!), and it's great that she can tell us rather than all of us just getting frustrated. Yay, communication! :) I was wrapping gifts while Kaylee napped, then Jamie got her and took her downstairs while I finished up a few more gifts. I came down and he told me about Kaylee's big snack.

Fade in, scene setting: Jamie got Kaylee up from her nap and they came downstairs. Kaylee was hungry.

Kaylee: Kaylee eat.
Jamie: What do you want to eat?
K: Eggs.
Jamie made a scrambled egg, let it cool in the freezer. Put it on her plate and gave her the plate.
K: Need fork.
He gave her a fork then helped her eat with it (the egg wouldn't stay on the fork well). She gobbled it up.
K: More!
He wasn't sure if she really wanted another whole egg, but made another egg anyway. He put it in freezer to let it cool off.
K: Eat egg now!
He took it out of the freezer and gave her a bite on the fork. She ate the bite.
K: Hot! (while wincing)
She took another bite.
K: Hot! (while wincing again)
She slid the plate over to Jamie.
K: Make cold.
Jamie put it in the freezer for a minute to cool it off, then she ate the rest of the egg.

End scene.
Guess she was really hungry; she doesn't usually eat that much for snacks!

Kaylee wanted her hair in a top knot today and I asked her if she wanted a picture of it. She actually posed for a couple shots, so here they are.

Those pictures are so cute! I love her smile!

Yes, communication is lovely. I have to say, it made me a little sad at Disneyland yesterday every time we ran into another child Elena's age or younger who was speaking in sentences. I would love for her to be able to say what she wants (although she does manage to get her point across without words). But at least she doesn't say "no!" yet!
